I have browser.fixup.alternate options enabled to go directly to www.url.com when I type "url" in the address bar and hit enter. It works fine normally, but in Firefox 91, it does not work in private windows. For example, I can type nfl in the address bar of a normal window and go directly to www.nfl.com, with "https://www.nfl.com" in the address bar. But, in a private window, I get a server not found error (I assume since the html error number isn't shown), and the address bar shows "https://nfl". That is different from the behavior in earlier versions of Firefox. Is this a new "feature" or a bug?

You can use "Ctrl+Enter" to canonize the URL.

  • about:config => browser.urlbar.ctrlCanonizesURLs = true

I know that, and that's been my workaround. The problem is that I have to do something different in a private window and remember only half the time.
