Details

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1653065 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 13_5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1

Steps to reproduce:

Type in http://go/ into the address bar.
Successfully access golinks.
Type in go/links into the browser bar.

Actual results:

A google search is performed when entering in go/links

Expected results:

Firefox should direct browser to http://go/links

If you are in an enteprise with a local DNS, you can set browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words = true in about:config (or autoconfig, or a policy), so Firefox will always go through the DNS before resolving to a search.
If you don't have a local DNS, you can allow a specific domain creating a boolean prefs in about:config (or autoconfig):
browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.MYDOMAIN
From Firefox 78 on, you can also allow a complete suffix (anything.MYSUFFIX):
browser.fixup.domainwhitelistsuffix.MYSUFFIX
Finally, from Firefox 78 on, you can enforce a visit by appending a slash at the end of the url, like mydomain.loc/
