A surprisingly large number of people always use their favorite search engine to get to other sites. They Google for "facebook" or "www.facebook.com". This goes for all web sites.

I do it all the time. With all these web 2.0 domain names I can never be sure was it wufoo or woofu or woofoo dot com. But google is sure.
That's the nice thing about firefox. Once I visit a site a few times it comes up in a list when I start typing the site. And if it's not in my list, I can just google it right from my address bar.
