Some do, some don't. Some have a redirect from TLD to www.TLD, some
have a redirect from www.TLD to TLD, some allow www.TLD and TLD to be
used interchangably (eg have set Apache to consided one an alias for
the other without any redirect directives). There is NO hard and fast
rule for this. And still others have various <mumble>.TLD, in some
cases several *different* servers (physical or virtual), all running a
httpd server daemon (static.TLD, images.TLD, www.TLD ... -- visit
www.facebook.com and watch the status bar on your browser for
enlightenment).
I think Firefox (maybe IE) will automagically stick www. on front of a
domain name when it is entered in the location field and the bare domain
name fails to resolve to an IP number.
