I'm developer of the website www.kachelya.ru. When I tried to open www.kachelya.ru by writing this address in address bar Firefox several times suggested me to open www.kachely.ru. I neglected that, but few time later FF began force redirecting me to www.kachely.ru, so I just CANNOT VISIT www.kachelya.ru. But kachelya.ru works well and there is even no suggesting! 1. How can I return to at least previous behavior with only suggesting?? 2. What's wrong with my website www.kachely.ru? (Can you answer me in Russian?)

  1. use the sort area or notepad to key the website you want with the http:// prefix
  2. copy the url, then
  3. paste into the location bar
  4. press enter
  5. repeat steps 3-4 a few times that counts as typed entries giving it a higher frecency rating (frecency is a Mozilla created word).

That should should do it, you could use the backspace key to correct before entering only the last part is highlighted and you can type through what is suggested.

If you don't want the other site at all when it shows as a suggestion below the location bar, right-click then "Del" (delete), then it won't be in the history, but it could still show up if it is a bookmark.

You could always bookmark the site. Then you would not need to rely on the autocomplete suggestions from the addressbar dropdown list.
