Problem with one-word searches

When I do a one-word search through the URL bar, I always have a confirmation message asking me whether I was trying to go to www.[myword].com.

I've tried to turn it off and I've set to false every browser.fixup line in about:config to no avail.

Do you know how to remove it? THanks for your help!

I think adjusting browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage in about:config will remove that suggestion

Hello Eve,

Thanks for your help. Sadly, I changed it to false but it didn't remove the suggestion (I restarted the computer to be sure).

It seems to be linked to keywordURIFixup.message

Cf. line 312
