in my previous version of FF, I could just type the website name in the address bar, without using www or .com, and it would take me to the site. This new version of FF won't allow me to do that. Every site that I type in the address bar has to have a .com after it, or else it just takes me to a google search. Why is it doing this? How do I set it to behave like the previous version of FF that I had? Thank You

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.
