Firefox forces www. onto website
When I try to visit one of the forums that I frequent (http://pelletheads.com), Firefox forces a www in front of the web address (http://www.pelletheads.com) and I get a "Server Not Found" error. The www. does not belong and am unsure why it is being forced in when I enter the web address. This happens on other websites I visit that doesn't have a www in the address.

Do you hit Ctrl + Enter after typing in the site's address or just plain Enter? Because Ctrl + Enter is a keyboard shortcut that automatically adds the 'http://www.' prefix and appends '.com' to the end.
Does firefox still force 'www.' if you just type in "pelletheads.com" and press regular Enter?
I just type in the address and hit enter and the www. is forced all the time. Sometimes, if I can find a lower level thread in the forum in my browser history and that will work, but it takes a few tries.
Enter about:config into the address bar, click through any warning, then into the Filter box paste:
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
Double-click the line listing that preference to change the value to false
