Firefox has a few other options for entering addresses/url's.

Ctrl+Enter will add http://www. before and .com after the text in the toolbar and load the resulting url.

Shift+Enter will add http://www. and .net

Ctrl+Shift+Enter will add http://www. and .org

Also, if you're interested!

Ctrl+Left Arrow will move caret to previous non-alphanumeric character in URL

Ctrl+Right Arrow will move caret to next non-alphanumeric character in URL
