Launch Firefox 2. type "http://www;fido.com" Actual Results: redirect to www.lemonde.fr "Works" only in French version ?
It "works" in all versions, but because it "works" by doing a Google "I'm feeling lucky" search for just "www" the end result depends on what your localized version of Google thinks should be the top result for that useless query. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 235786 ***

I get different results for http://www; when I try a different DNS server. :?
If for some reason you actually want to see it redirect to Le Monde, change the pref "keyword.URL" from ...google.com... to ...google.fr...
