I don’t want my firefox to perform searches on google or similar when I don’t explicitly instruct it to do so. This is especially annoying if you enter something like sw01.mgmt.corp.client.com and firefox performs a google search on that because you didn’t configure your DNS correctly.
Go to about:config and set
keyword.enabled = false
But that isn’t enough. If you enter something like internalapp
it will complete that to www.internalapp.com… This “feature”
is called Domain Guessing. Let’s get rid of that, too:
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled = false
Additionaly, I have set up a few keywords for search engines, so when I
enter something like
g test
into the URL bar firefox will do a google search.
