How do I get Firefox to go directly to the URL I type in the address bar instead of going to Google and doing a search for the addresses?

Hi, I have a Mac running Firefox 84.0.2 and when I type a URL in the address bar and hit return it goes directly to that site.

On my new Mac running the same version of Firefox when I type in a URL it takes me to Google.

Notice in the first screen shot I typed in 'Mozilla' and it took me directly to this page. In the second screen on my new Mac the screen shot shows what happened when I typed 'Mozilla' in the address bar. It took me to Google.

I appreciate any suggestions you might have. I have spent some time trying to figure it out.

Did you just type 'Mozilla' (this may start a web search) or Mozilla.org (this should access the web site) ?
