Now only thing I can say about this your problem - try this hack from your home computer or any other computer which is not behind firewall. If it works at other places then the problem is with your firewall/proxy server whose configuration I guess you are not permitted to change... :-( If you want to revert back the changes, just go to <b>about:config</b> , find <b>keyword.URL</b> in and click <b>Reset</b> from context menu. :-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('35036','Rahul Bansal'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> @Michael

I have the correct proxy settings in the connection manager and can visit any site provided that I type the .com or .org at the end in the address bar. It does not automatically redirect me like at home if .com is not there. I pasted in the string for Google feeling lucking in keyword.URL as directed, but if I type nytimes, for example, as opposed to nytimes.com I still get a "Network Error (dns_server_failure)" message. However, if I copy and paste the Google string directly into the address bar, followed by "nytimes" after the = sign, it takes me to the proper web page. I've made sure there is no extra space at end of the string in about:config. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('33339','Michael'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I am trying this at work where I am behind a firewall.
