I own brandata.com, and it resolves correctly when entered without extensions in
other browsers (we tested Safari, IE on Mac OSX and Windows XP. Users are highly
conditioned to typing in URLs without domain name extensions. As I own this URL
and want to direct traffic to my site, it appears that someone in Italy is
infringing on my IP. This is a big problem. 

Reproducible: Always

1.in firefox on Mac OSX or Windows xp, type "brandata" in the browser address window
2. hit return
3.

Actual Results:  
http://www.lafornacedibarbablu.com/specialita.htm is served up

Expected Results:  
go to www.brandata.com

Entering a word into the url bar preforms a google I'm feeling lucky search.
Your site is ranked 4th on google for 'brandata'. Typeing 'brandata will not
work in firefox unless you have first spot at google.
