I know you've fixed this by disabling the domain guessing feature. A
different way to fix this is to configure domain searching in your
resolv.conf (or the settings distributing via DHCP if you use that) so that
houseweb.domain resolves. Firefox will try this before domain guessing.
This means you can still using domain guessing for other words.
