There's another file - can't remember its name - that tells your

Do you mean /etc/nsswitch.conf?
Ah yes. Any idea why Firefox seems to ignore it? Whenever I try to
browse to local machines in /etc/hosts, firefox gives me a google search
page which is a bloody nuisance. If I type a VALID ADDRESS in the
ADDRESS BAR, that's where I expect to go! Not some damn random search page!
