how can I customise cntrl+enter to do something other than .com
In earlier version of FF I could customise what happens if I enter a site name and then press ctrl+enter.
For instance if I typed firefox in the go to web site box and then I press ctrl+enter keys I would want to go to www.firefox.co.uk not www.firefox.com.
Chosen solution
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message, you will then be taken to a list of preferences
- In the filter box type alternate
- Double-click on the preference "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" and change its value to .co.uk

Thanks, that solved it!
You're welcome
I have an additional supplemental question to the original question.
I am English, living in England. Around 45% of the websites I visit are .co.uk websites, an example being
www.bbc.co.uk
BUT
Around another 45% of the websites I regularly visit are .COMs. Another example being
www.itv.com
What I'd like to know is: Is there an ADDITIONAL alternate somewhere in Firefox. eg where Ctrl + Enter can be left to prefix www and suffix .com but perhaps where Shift + Ctrl + Enter might alternatively give me the www prefix and the .co.uk suffix ???
Any suggestions.
You can look at the already mentioned URL Suffix extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/443
You can set different suffixes for each action.

Thank you !! This is exactly what I've been looking for but not known where to look.
