Firefox searches google instead of loading url with non-internet domain

I have some local services under a local domain name: example.lena

Every time I try to access any of those services that are not in my history, Firefox chooses to search google instead of load up the url, with an option appearing under the toolbar saying: "Did you mean to go to http://example.lena/?

How can I force Firefox to first try the url instead of the google search?

You can try to create a browser.fixup.domainwhitelist pref for this domain like exists by default for localhost.

  • browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.example.lena = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. If you get the warning page, you can click the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button.

That seems great, but I would have to do this for every service on every client.

Is there a way to add the whole *.lena domain instead of the specific hostname to the whitelist?

Maybe by using browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.lena instead of browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.example.lena?

That sounds logical. Does it work?
