Hello,

Hopefully someone can assist me, when you type my domain name with out www or trailing .com firefox redirects to the wrong site.

Example: findwhere
Should go to findwhere.com
Currently directs to ifindwhere.com

Any suggestions how I can fix?

Thanks,

It's because, FF defaults to the first search engine result. In your case findwhere.com is NOT the first result (at least on Google as default search engine). ifindwhere.com is the first result.

Only way to "fix" it is to have first SERP for your site.
