Thanks!:) What was even more confusing, but I didn't mention in the article, was that visiting domain.name in my browser did take me to a similar website. That was because firefox will try www.<doman.tld> when <domain.tld> fails, so it was actually www.domain.name I was getting instead of domain.name. This behavior can be turned off by setting `browser.fixup.alternate.enabled` to false.

I had no idea about that config, but I've seen the behavior before. That behavior is even more interesting considering that Firefox will hide the 'www' subdomain in the URL[1]. So not only will it silently add the www, but it also won't show it in the URL!
