User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I am very happy with the normel performance of FireFox but there is one
situation I find mysel in almost every day that FireFox seems to get confused
about. When I am connected to my companys network I have full access to the
internet. The company has an intranet site with the start page called
http://kp/, there is a sit on the internet called http://www.kp.cpm. When I try
to go the company site http://kp/ FireFox will automatically reroute me to
http://www.kp.com. I can access the intranet site fine using IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) log on to the Ascential Corporate network
2) type kp or http://kp/ in the page address

Actual Results:  
The browser will open the page http://www.kp.com

Expected Results:  
Opend the page http://kp/ from the internal network

As I mentioned, this will work fine using IE

See Bug 88217 and Bug 91587. Do you have to use a proxy?

No I don't.  I VPN to the corporate network and no proxy is required.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
