How can I exclude urls ending with .lan from searching
In my home network there are several servers whose URLs end with ".lan". For example http://nas.lan or http://router.lan. When I want to connect to these machines with Firefox, I usually type router.lan in the address bar. But then Firefox starts searching for router.lan on google. Afterwards I am asked if I had wanted to access http://router.lan instead and when I click "Yes" Firefox takes me where I actually wanted to go. However, this can get quite annoying over time, and I wonder if it is possible to tell Firefox to go directly to the URL I enter whenever it is a string ending with ".lan" and avoid to search for it? Don't get me wrong, I do not want to disable the search bar completely as I am very used to type in searches into the address bar directly.

Hi, try this:
- type about:config into the address bar and press enter.
- Acknowledge the warning.
- In the search box at the top enter `browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.lan` (without the quotes).
- On the row that appears, make sure that Boolean is selected, then click the plus sign. This should create it with value "true".
Now you should be able to have the `lan` domain work as you want.
