Simple question, I think. I just don't know the answer. 
Example: I want to visit Joe's Pizza website. It's www.joespizza.com. In Safari, I can simply type in "joespizza" and the browser knows I need the ".com". In Firefox, however, if I only type in "joespizza", I get an error page because Firefox didn't know to add the ".com".
Can I modify a setting to change this behavior? Thanks!

Firefox normally funs a Google search if you enter something that's not a valid URL. Do you use a special DNS from your ISP?

No.
That's a drag. Got spoiled with that feature in Safari.

In Safari I type apple/trailers and it loads Apple - Movie Trailers as I would expect.
In Firefox if I type apple/trailers it just loads Apple. Annoying.

Command and enter is what you use in Firefox. In Windows, it's control and enter.
