Ctrl-Enter in Address Bar

Long ago I developed muscle memory to type in the main part of a website domain and complete it with Ctrl-Enter in the address bar.

That supposedly adds the www. prefix at the beginning and .com at the end.

Works great except that it seems to append "http:// to the beginning. That often results in a warning that I'm trying to go to an insecure domain.

How can I modify this behavior to append "httpS://" to the beginning to avoid all of these warnings?

That's really strange. Enter about:config in the address bar and check browser.fixup.alternate.protocol.

Thanks, TyDraniu. I found it, and it's already set for https. But that hasn't fixed the Ctrl-Enter behavior I'm asking about. Should it be set differently?

Is browser.urlbar.ctrlCanonizesURLs set to true?

Thanks, cor-el — yes, that's already set to True.
