How do I stop Firefox automatically inserting "www." infront of url addresses?
I am using Firefox on Ubunto 10.04. I wanted to load the Opera Browser to use for different browsing. Having downloaded and installed the software, I was instructed to access a url that began with just ip. something. I pasted this address into the url space but every time I hit enter Firefox inserts "www." before the address and then reports that it can't find the address.

Here's how you do it:
- Enter about:config in the Firefox location bar and press Enter
- In the Filter textbox enter fixup.
- Double-click on browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to set it to false.
That should fix it!
You can also only set the pref browser.fixup.alternate.prefix to an empty string value if you want to keep the .com fixup (browser.fixup.alternate.suffix) working.
