Did you ever observe that when you enter ‘google’ in the address bar and press ‘Ctrl+Enter’, Firefox takes you to ‘www.google.com

You can change this default setting and instruct Firefox to take you to ‘www.google.co.in’ when you hit ‘Ctrl+Enter’.

  • Open ‘Firefox’
  • Type ‘about:config’ in the address bar and hit ‘Enter’
  • Enter ‘browser.fixup’ in Filter.
    Ctrl Enter
  • The following values are related to the setting. Right click on the values to modify.
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled – You can use this to turn the Ctrl+Enter behavior off entirely.
browser.fixup.alternate.prefix – This value sets the prefix assigned before the keyword you type.
browser.fixup.alternate.suffix – This value sets what is assigned after the keyword. For instance, you could use this to change the default suffix to your country code, like ‘.co.in’

 For any query please send email to saurabh(at)techwhiz(dot)in
