In the old firefox, if you typed a word into the navigation bar it would automatically add the .com extension and redirect you to that page. However now, it automatically redirects you to a google search page. How do I get that old feature back?

For example, if I were to type "cnn" into the webpage address field, it would automatically go to cnn.com. Now, it goes to a google search page which functions just the same as the mini search bar on the side of the bar.
