Accidentally typed www.jpg in the address bar of FireFox and I was redirected to - www.accusoft.com
That's interesting - is this a new first-level domain? Or something different? It's not in the list of top-level domains on the wiki. It 's not on the ICANN list either.

Firefox automatically adds .com to the address if the domain is not found and, accordingly, redirects you to www.jpg.com
By default, it is configured only for the www prefix and you can add the .com ending
, you can change the settings in the options, lines:
browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
browser. fixup.alternate.prefix
browser.fixup.alternate.suffix
