When I try to access an internal web site (within the Intranet), the Firefox keeps completing the website name in the address bar by adding "www" at the begining and ".com" at the end of the site name. I am NOT using "Ctrl Enter". How to stop it?

Enter about:config into the address bar, click through any warning, then into the Filter box paste:

browser.fixup.alternate.enabled

Double-click the line listing that preference to change the value to false

If that doesn't do it, then filter for:

keyword.enabled

and double-click that preference to change the value to false also.
