Keeping Firefox from trying to search my local domain

For all my services that are local I tried out the .local domain but for whatever reason my network doesn’t like to resolve them. So now I use the .pug domain for all my services that I expose through metallb and pihole using dns and cname resolution. The issue that I ran across is that in firefox, it always tries to search with my default search provider unless I add http://. This is annoying on my phone and even in my browser window. To fix this I added a boolean value under the following key: browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.pug
