I added Google toolbar and now when I type in a website name on the address line, Google overrides Firefox's default extension of "com". I used to just type "Facebook" and would be taken there (Firefox added the "com"). Now if I just type "Facebook" Google does a search and I have to click on one of the search results to get to the site. An extra step. I even uninstalled the toolbar and still have the problem.
