Local Virtualhost Always Results in Search Lookup in Firefox

I am setting up some local virtualhosts for developments.

In particular, I have the following two sites enabled.

  1. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName sites.dev ServerAlias sites.dev DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/sites> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

  2. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName xxx.dev ServerAlias xxx.dev DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/xxx/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /var/www/sites/xxx> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Where xxx is some word.

When I enter sites.dev in the browser address bar, I am successfully taken to the local site. However, when I enter xxx.dev, I am taken to a URL that looks like this http://www.dnsrsearch.com/index.php?origURL=http%3A//xxx.dev/&r=&bc=.

That is, it seems to me that the browser is trying to do a look-up on it. How could I fix it or make the browser look locally instead?

This is mostly due to some plugin installed on your browser. Try in incognito mode.

Also make sure you have a local host file entry pointing to localhost for your xxx domain.
