From your description I would guess at a sequence of events like this:
- Firefox tries to find perlmonks.org and kicks open the network connection dialog.
- Network connection dialog blocks Firefox's attempt to resolve perlmonks.org until it is dismissed.
- Network connection is established outside of the Firefox/network connection dialog
- Canceling the connection dialog returns a failed status on the attempt to resolve perlmonks.org
- Firefox thinking it can't find perlmonks.org begins searching for similar names by prepending 'www.' or appending '.com', '.org', '.net', etc.
- Firefox finds www.perlmonks.org since there is now a valid network connection (but fails to update the URL in the location bar?)
I would think 6 (and possibly 4) could be considered Firefox bugs and should be reported.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
