Single word search - Firefox tries first DNS looup even though the word does not look like a valid URL (browser.fixup... is disabled).
When I enter a correct domain name in the location bar, it is resolved without any problems ("domain.com"). When I enter multiple words, not constituting a valid domain ("some domain"), it is automatically searched in my preferred search engine. If I enter a single word ("domain"), which is _not_ a valid domain, Firefox still attempts to first resolve it (which takes about 15 seconds).
Is there a way to disable or fix this behavior?
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled;false
browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups;false
keyword.URL;http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

It maybe better to use a (one letter) keyword bookmark if you want to do searches via the location bar. It is always possible that you want to access a local site without a TLD appended and in such cases you need to do a DNS look up.
The best bet for this problem is using Ominbar add-on, as the single keyword redirection to DNS is not a bug, but implementation design.
