Firefox keeps adding www. prefix to my domain name in address bar.

more options

I have the subdomain www as a different IP address as my domain name. Even after setting browser.fixup.alternate.prefix to false in about:config, Firefox keeps adding www. to my domain name. After searching google for a solution, it seems this workaround in about:config worked back in 2017, but doesn't seem to work for me with the newest Firefox. Any other solutions? Internet Explorer does not have this issue for me.

Does this problem occur with a full URL such as https://example.com ?

The top bar of the drop-down usually shows what Firefox intends to do with the text if you submit it at that point. Does the in-URL-bar autofill feature show you the address you want, or is it not suggesting either match?

In case the problem is a cached redirect, you could clear the web cache: How to clear the Firefox cache (in the Clear Data dialog, don't remove all your cookies and site data, just clear the cache for now).
