I used to be able to input a website without adding .com in the address bar and it would go to the site but now it just goes to search engine results. Is there a way to resolve this?

When I type weather in the address bar it just brings up search results instead of going directly to weather.com. With Firefox 3.6, I could just type weather instead of weather.com or type apple and it would take me to apple.com. Is there a way to bring this back?

You can also do this without an extension by modifying a pref on the about:config page.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use a Google Lucky search.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
