autocomplete not working since updating
With previous versions of firefox I didn't need to type in the .com after a web address and it would go straight to the site... and I'm not talking about a list of previously visited sited when I start typing. For instance if I would type "liveleak" in the address bar it would go to that website, now it goes to a search of that word. I know there must be a way to fix it/get it working again, but I can't find it easily apparently.

Domain guessing only works if keyword search is disabled. To do that ...
- Enter "about:config" as a page address, without the quotes
- Click the "I'll be careful" button
- A lengthy list of preferences will be shown. Locate the "keyword.enabled" preference.
- Double-click it in order to set its value to "false"
You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
This got it back working! Thanks for the reply.
