In other OSes here, When Firefox is unable to find the URL entered in the 
navigation field, it says so (Error 404). And it is possible to enter into 
the the field a URL less top domain, e.g. "cnn", without "com" (at least for 
the "com" case, if not others, and FF would make the guess.

That is not what happens in the browsers on my openSUSE v10.3. I have been 
trying to understand what actually does happen -- in both Firefox and 
Konqueror. Entering a defective URL in either browser brings the home page of 
my own web page, and I am unable to find why or how browsers do this. My 
Firefox home page is a blank page, not my website;  I have cleared Browsing 
History and Cache, the only places I can think of where that URL is known to 
Firefox (which shouldn't matter anyway to Konqueror).

The same thing happens if I enter into the Alt-F2 field a program name not 
known ti the  system: Konqueror obliges with my website.

Where have I neglected to remove the offending URL?

I am assuming that straightening this out will also enable browsers to 
find "com" by themselves.
