Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
tried both above, same issue still occur
Please provide the steps to reproduce
do you check my video which i upload? :| http://mir.cr/050TMCYI
I am not downloading a zip file to confirm a bug for security reasons. If you can't write out the steps to reproduce you will need to wait for someone else to look into this bug.
suppose you type wiki.mozilla, history will be open and by mistake if you write http://wiki.mozilla(without.com) and hit enter you will show "Server not found",and after that if you try to write wiki.mozilla and hit CTRL+ENTER, .com comes never, hope you understand :|

(In reply to Tim (fmdeveloper) from comment #7) > Go to location bar > Type fr.wikipedia > Hit Enter > Server Not Found page appears > Go to location bar > Hit Ctrl + Enter Enter + [focus the location bar] + Ctrl+Enter is a rather strange pattern and doesn't seem significantly more efficient than typing .org and hitting Enter. I don't think we want to restore this behavior. What I find more interesting is that fr.wikipedia + Ctrl+Enter used to work since www.fr.wikipedia.org happens to exist. This is quirky, though, and doesn't work with many sites.

My bug just got marked as a duplicate of this one, so now I'm here. > Enter + [focus the location bar] + Ctrl+Enter is a rather strange pattern > and doesn't seem significantly more efficient than typing .org and hitting > Enter. > I don't think we want to restore this behavior. You don't even understand what is going on here. Ctrl+Enter adds .com (and http://www.) to a URL Shift+Enter adds .net(and http://www.) to a URL Crtl+Shift+Enter adds .org(and http://www.) to a URL These shortcuts still work, unless there happens to be a "." in the original entry. For example, typing "wikipedia" and pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter will change it to http://www.wikipedia.org and send you to the page. Typing "answers.yahoo" and pressing Ctrl+Enter SHOULD send you to http://answers.yahoo.com, but it does NOT. And if you "don't want to restore this behavior" then I suppose I will have to either downgrade or change browsers.

Can you please fix this? You've marked two properly explained bug reports as duplicates, but this report incorrectly states that it only occurs "after getting a server not found error", and also says "it generally happen only first tab which you try to open but sometimes it happen also on others". It's also flagged as "Resolved", when the issue is still present. This is my only computer that I have (erroneously) upgraded to Firefox 7. I go to work, and use the crtl+enter shortcut just fine, all day. I come home and use my laptop in the afternoon, and have no problems using the shortcut. In the evening, I sit down at my desk and try to use the shortcut with something like "maps.google" only to get a server not found, and then get redirected by my ISP so I have to delete and retype the entire URL, properly. I will do this 7-8 times throughout the night until I am ready to throw my keyboard out the window. I check here every day to see nothing being done. I start seething every time I open Firefox 6 on my other computers, and it pops up a massive window demanding I upgrade to the newest version. I've been a long time supporter of Firefox, but right now the only reason I haven't switched to Chrome is that my saved passwords won't carry over.
Dao, you can't really specify that this is a duplicate of bug 693251. You marked 693251 as a duplicate of this bug. That kind of circular resolution will lead to nothing ever being solved. Secondly, I agree that this issue is the same as in 693251, although, I don't know if possible, but can these reports be linked somehow, as while the issue is the same, it seems two separate circumstances are described here, and the description to get the result here isn't entirely clear. 693251 provides exact specifications on how to duplicate this bug every time, as it happens with any address that already has a . (period). This is affecting any site address with a subdomain when the subdomain is typed instead of the top level domain and CTRL+Enter is used to fill the www. and .com. I know this seems minor to you, but it's an (as far as I know) undocumented change to functionality that Firefox has had from the beginning, and as far as I know, every other modern browser in existence supports.

Instructions > are at http://harthur.github.com/mozregression/. If not, do you have an > idea of when this broke (a day, a week, a month, since FF4, etc)? Tim, I haven't used any beta versions, but as far as I know, it broke between the last update of Firefox 6 and the upgrade to 7.0.1. As of current version (7.0.1) the functionality no longer works as intended, and will only prepend www. and append .com/org/net if you type in a single word top level domain. Im my bug report I specified as an example that: reddit -> CTRL+Enter = http://www.reddit.com whereas kindle.reddit -> CTRL+Enter = Page not found (default search page). Not only that, but google is my default search page, but this is the only instance wherein that doesn't even work, and it displays the ISP search page by default. Normally if a bad address is typed in the address field and not found, it enters it to the browser's default search (in Firefox's case, Google, generally). This is not happening either, in this instance.
I also have been waiting for a fix on this. It broke 2 months ago after an update. Today, I upgraded to version 9 hoping the fix would be there. But, looks like no FF developer or the the guy who broke it is ready to fix it. As a developer myself, I find it strange for a developer not owning up or fixing his "buggy" code. I'm moving on to Chrome not only because of this issue, but because FF browser is so hungry to eat up my laptop's memory or some script is always preventing cleaning up history!! Bye bye FF. It was good while it lasted.

Please reopen this bug as we all need this feature.
agreed this should be reopened.
I've found a partial solution, in Google Chrome this keys combination works yet
