On older versions of Firefox & IE I did not have to add the ".com" or ".org" to get to the website. just type firefox & hit enter. For the last year or so if I don't add the .com firefox brings up a search engine with a list of results. How do I correct this? I hate having to type out the whole address. Also sometimes when I click in the address bar to type in another website to go to, Firefox closes down to my desktop for a couple seconds then opens back up, what gives? This happens on my girlfriends computer also. Thanks
