How do I make firefox go to a certain website after only typing the name in the address bar without adding .com/.co.uk, etc

Previously I used to be able to just type in 'facebook' without adding .com and it would take me the facebook homepage. My friend downloaded something on to my laptop and managed to change my default search engine and also stopped this nifty trick. I managed to change my default search engine back to google but now whenever I type in 'facebook' and hit enter it'll just go the google page of search results for facebook. How can I change it back?
