Every time I try to pull up my business website on Firefox, it pull it up www.www.austinchicstaging.com. It doesn't matter if I type it in correctly, it reverts back to the www.www address. This doesn't happen with other web browsers, only Firefox.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Seems to be working at the moment. Does the problem recur if you use a link?

If it does, try clearing your cache using the steps in this article: How to clear the Firefox cache.
