With previous versions of Firefox (before 108.0.1) I was able to make changes with about:config to allow a default domain id .com to be added to my Internet query. Example I enter cnn and would get cnn.com and assess the website. WIth 108.0.1 I enter cnn and Firefox cannot find the site. The about:config changes I made are:

 set browser.urlbar.autofill to false, set keyword.enabled to false and set browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to true. 

The changes are mentioned in the incident https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1142103.

With 108.0.1 how can this be implemented like in the past versions? Thanks

My Home Page is about:blank. It is set at about:blank on New Tabs. I removed the clear history and cache and with the above mods the same thing happens. When I enter only cnn I get the message

We can’t connect to the server at cnn. Did you mean to go to www.cnn.com?

If I enter cnn.com I go to the cnn site. I looked at manage data and there is an entry for cnn.com. Thanks for the help.
