Firefox refuses to connect to hostnames w/o fqdn even though they resolve to IP's
Firefox refuses to connect to hostnames w/o fqdn even though they resolve to IP's
Older versions of firefox have not problem (3.5.8 and earlier) Upgraded recently on new Windows 7 box. Only addon I installed so far is tabcontrol, but the Sun's Java and other base ones are there too.
Not that I brougt hit up, I will see about getting an older version of FF installed on win7 to make sure later today.
http://Intranet/ wont work, http://intranet.company.com would. Both resolve to the same IP. using the hostname it would try appending www. and .com on it, disabling that in about:config would do a "feel lucky" search.
I have two co-workers with the same issue with latest FF.
Thanks for your help and patience! - Me

You can set these prefs to false on the about:config page to disable the keyword search and the url fixup. keyword.enabled - see http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.enabled browser.fixup.alternate.enabled - see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries#Browser.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
