Details

Steps to reproduce:

Type in the URL of an intranet (local only) site into the address bar. In our case we are using a .lan TLD that does resolve successfully.

Actual results:

Opened search engine and searched for the site. Acted like I searched from the search bar.

Expected results:

Site should have opened.

Flags: needinfo?(adw)

You can open about:config and create a boolean preference named browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.lan set to true and that will tell Firefox not to search for .lan domain names. You can also append a trailing / when you type the name in the address bar. For context, see the following bugs:

I'll mark this as a dupe of bug 1634650.
