Many new TLDs appear to be coming. This may affect how Mozilla
interprets input in the URL bar, and has security implications.
Single-word domain names are about to become a common form of
URL. Now the browser has to decide whether "example" is looked
up in DNS or a search engine.
Is DNS always preferred over search? Does this introduce any
security risks? Will other browsers from search engine vendors
(Microsoft and Google) make the same choice? Is adding
".com" to single words and retrying still appropriate behavior?
Should command completion/"suggest" use DNS information?
