How do I stop Firefox from redirecting me to a random website when I enter an incomplete address in the location bar?
I'm using Firefox 45.
When I enter 'gm' in to the location bar, it takes me to gm.com. When I enter 'abc' in to the location bar, it takes me to abc.go.com.
This is insane and insecure. How do I disable this?
I've set the following to false, but no luck: browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled browser.urlbar.autoFill browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete keyword.enabled
Thanks for your help.

Resolving gm to gm.com would be expected behavior because of URL fixup.
- browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
Did you try to clear the history?
Does Firefox show these items in the drop-down list if you have enabled this feature (browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled = true)?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

Thank you so much! browser.fixup.alternate.enabled = false did the trick.
