When I leave off the .com firefox defaults to a Yahoo page .. Why ???
When I enter a site address but leave off the ".com" instead of Firefox assuming the ".com" it instead goes to a Yahoo page.
Has Yahoo somehow hijacked and rerouted me to one of it's pages and how can I fix it.
Thank you

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

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=
You can also disable keyword search altogether.
