For the record, Firefox on my Debian Sarge system does not exhibit the
behaviour you're seeing.

I have a number of simple hostnames in my hosts file and they all work
fine from Firefox.  Just to be sure, I added 'wombat' as an alias for my
ADSL router and that works too.

In the event that I misspell a hostname, my default Firefox behaviour is
to use Google's I'm feeling lucky search (keyword.enabled is set to
true).
