I’ve assigned domain names using a custom TLD to my home servers for ease of access.
When I put, say proxmox.server
, in my address bar, it searches the web. To avoid that behavior, I have to specify http://proxmox.server
.
I want Firefox to recognize .server
as a valid TLD. I’ve searched the web to no avail, so that’s why I’m writing this.
I came across this post in Stack Exchange, but the method described (ie, network.IDN.whitelist.
server
) doesn’t work.
Does anybody know how can I add a custom domain to Firefox?
What OS are you running? You could use .local instead; I have mappings in /etc/hosts for ‘gitlab.local’ for example and they work fine.
.local
is reserved for mDNS, that’s why I don’t use it. Since it’s reserved, Firefox “knows” that if you typesomething.local
it shouldn’t search the web.I’m using Fedora, I know I can edit my hosts file to point to a domain, but I don’t want to do that. I map the domains with a pihole instance, and I’d like to keep the record of domains centralized. Also, editing the hosts file won’t solve the issue with Firefox not pointing to the site.
Looks like you can add custom domains in
about:config
as a true boolean withbrowser.fixup.domainwhitelist.yourdomain.yoursuffix
. Just needs to be full domain with tld.
