How to Display Full URL in Address Bar?

I'm using Firefox 14.0.1 on a new computer running Windows 7 Home Edition. I cannot for the life of me figure out why my URLs are getting truncated. For instance, right now, all I can see in my address bar for this website is "https://support.mozil;" if I type in yahoo.com I end up with "http://www.yahoo.co." I can scroll through in the address bar to see the rest of the URL, but I'd like to see the whole thing at once!
I know you can type about:config into the address bar and change the value of browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false, but I tried that and it doesn't do a thing. I have Firefox on my old computer, and it's not giving me the issue there. So perhaps I have an interfering plugin? The only new thing I have on this system is HP SimplePass (I can't stand HP software). Anyone know what might be causing the issue?

I, too, had the truncated URL in the address bar. (Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 Home Premium)
These measures did not help:
# about:config and change browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false
# Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox
This measure did help:
# uninstall HP SimplePass
I had had the full URL in the address bar while running HP SimplePass, so I do not believe that they are inherently incompatible. I'm just saying these measures, in this order, gave me back the full URL.

  • How to display Site Title in Address Bar History

    Titles of sites are displayed in the History drop-down menu, but when I start typing in the Address Bar only the URLs of matching sites are displayed, not the names. This is really frustrating if you have a site like a forum with a numbering scheme:
    forum.site.com/forum.php?1
    forum.site.com/forum.php?2
    etc...
    Firefox displays the site titles like this:
    forum.site.com/forum.php?1 Help Forum
    forum.site.com/forum.php?2 General Forum
    etc...
    Is there any way to make Safari (3) behave like Firefox in this respect?

    Brian, I understand your frustration.
    Just a note. I use QuickSilver a lot, and its Safari plugin module has some form of bookmark and history searching involving page titles. I don't use it myself, but I know that it's available. I understand it's not what you're looking for exactly, but it might be a viable workaround if you care to explore it more than I have.

  • Display full page URL in address bar

    I've published my site from MUSE to HTML and posted it to the GoDaddy server.  Everything works, but no matter what page I'm on, the address in the browser address bar remains the same.  My client wants the full address to appear so they can cut and copy the URL to specific pages into emails.
    How do I get the full URL for the pages of the web site to display propertly in the address bar?
    I want to mention that other sites that my client accesses are displaying correctly so it's not a browser setting.  It's only when we browse to their site that the URL remains fixed for the duration of our visit.
    Thanks.
    Andy.

    That is an Edge animation you have there. When an Edge Animation is Placed into Muse it's put inside an iframe. So when welcome.html is loaded within an iFrame, all relatively called assets are loaded within the same frame and hence the URL in the address bar never changes. You may want to set target="_top" or "_parent" on the link in Edge Animate so when the link is followed it loads in the browser and not just within the iframe Muse uses to display the Edge Animate content.
    Thanks,

    The question is why do you want to show the URL?
    Faces apps don't change the url with each click (as the click might be going into a region).
    Can you give us a use case? Do you use bounded task flows?
    JDev version?

  • Launching URL without Address bar and Menu Bar

    Guys,
    I use the following piece of code to launch an URL from the application. I want to launch the URL without address bar & Menu bar. how this could be achieved?
    <af:goLink id="gl1" targetFrame="_blank"
    destination="/faces/com/abc/xyz/pages/page2.jspx?oppid=#{row.oppId}">
    <af:outputText value="#{row.OpportunityNumber}" id="ot13">
    </af:outputText>
    </af:goLink>

    Dev,
    As far as I know, the only way to request a browser window to open without address/menu bar is via JavaScript (note that it's just a request - depending upon the browser being used and the security settings, the address bar in particular may end up being shown anyway). So, I don't believe you can do this with an af:goLink.
    Note: why do you include an af:outputText as a child for af:goLink? af:goLink has a "text" property to display the text.
    Note #2: It appears as if you are launching a link to the app itself - is the only reason you're using af:goLink instead of af:commandLink in order to ensure that the link opens in a new window?

  • Safari does not display full URL

    Safari 6.0.5 will not display full URL until I click in the URL Location bar.  For example, the full URL of this page is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/question-post!input.jspa?containe rType=14&container=2131&fromWidget=true&question=Safari%20does%20not%20display%2 0full%20URL
    However, in my Safari location bar it displays only the domain level path, i.e.:
    https://discussions.apple.com
    Is this new behavior a featue or a bug?  Is there any way to make it display the full URL as it has since the beginning of time?
    Thanks!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Resetting / Removing Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs

    How do you Reset / Remove Old URLs From Address Bar When Manually Typing In URLs. You know, when you start to tpye in www. and about 2000 URLs visted in your life, and past life, appear in a list. It's annoying as all heck, and since it's in alphabetical order it's always throwing in the first one in the list... 1800flowers in my case. Isn't there a way to reset this or something? Or better, to turn it off? I've already tried emptying cache and clearing history. I also removed the .plist files as well. What would happen if I did a reinstall of Safari?

    Hello Jonny Apple Seed
    The way to clear the address bar is to reset Safari, under Safari menu,
    this will also clear,
    "Resetting Safari clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries.
    In addition, any open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons". From Safari Help
    A reinstalled Safari will just come to be the same, after a while. Not worth it in my opinion. The address bar will not be completely empty.
    Hth some.

  • Entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball...doesn't return

    entering URL in address bar causes spinning beach ball. Safari then doesn't return and I have to force quit. This happens every time I try to type a url. It only
    does this on one account on the computer and not another on same computer.
    Under library preference I dragged the internet pref pane into trash. This did not help. I also dragged the system user perference pane com.apple.safari.plist as well into the trash but also did not fix the problem.
    I can not drag the internet pref pane from the trash back to the library folder. Will this cuase any problems?

    Glad you took the next step. My next suggestion was going to be the History file, which too is in the Safari folder. Sounds like that was the culprit.
    Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

  • Http redirects not changing url in address bar

    I'm going crazy trying to fix a major bug in our application. Http
    redirects are not changing the url in the address bar of the latest versions of internet explorer. But this only happens if the redirected page is an xml page with an xslt reference for the browser to do the transformation. Mozilla seems to work fine, but I seem to have encountered a major bug in Internet Explorer. If anybody can help or at least point me in a direction I'd be SO grateful. This doesn't seem to be a java servlet specific issue, but that's what we're using so I thought I'd ask the question here too.
    We have an MVC type framework we developed. For example, if you were to add something to a shopping cart, the url might be:
    http://ecommerce.com/cart/add?sku=54321. In the add servlet, we would add the sku to your shopping cart and then redirect to, let's say,
    http://ecommerce.com/displaycart. I think this is how most MVC frameworks work. And it works great for us.
    The problem began when we started sending XML to the browser with an XSLT stylesheet. So now the browser does the transformations (if the browser is capable of doing them, which we check) instead of the server. This is a major part of our project. One of the reasons we started this.
    The problem is that Internet Explorer no longer updates the url in the
    address bar after a redirect. Mozilla works great though. We haven't
    tested on other xslt capable browsers yet. In the example above, what would happen is after adding something to your shopping cart, the "displaycart" page would be shown but the http://ecommerce.com/cart/add?sku=54321 url would be shown in the address bar. It wouldn't seem to be too big of a deal since everything works. But now all the relative links are messed up. They start from the "cart" directory. So we need absolute links. But that introduces many other problems. We then need to know the host and the parent directories (not as easy as it seems).
    So is there a solution? Is this a big bug that nobody has realized yet (or maybe they have, but my searches don't see it) in internet explorer? Is there a way for the redirected url to appear in the address bar from a browser-based xslt transformation in internet explorer? By the way, I'm testing with the latest version of IE6.0 as of July 7, 2003.
    When testing, redirects work perfect if I do the xslt transformation on the server side and just send plain html to internet explorer. And it works perfect with either serverside or browserside xslt transformations in mozilla.

    As I've been reading in the specs, microsoft, etc, it seems that it's not what's supposed to happen. But the specs are not very specific about this. However, internet explorer DOES always replace the url in the address bar with the redirected url if HTML is being returned from the redirected servlet. As is the case with all other browsers. So, at least, this behavior is the de-facto standard.
    BUT when the redirected to page is an xml page which references an xslt stylesheet.. then, ONLY in internet explorer, the original url is what's shown in the address bar (and, more importantly, what's used as the base url). Regardless of what the links look like or how they're manipulated in the transformed HTML that ends up being shown, I can't seem to make the url in the address bar the redirected url..

  • How to detach refresh button from address bar in the new UI of FF29?

    IN FF28 it was possible to detach the refresh button from the address bar, but now the whole address bar is just one element. I am really used to have the button on the left side and not on the right side of the screen. I would love to have the opportunity back again to separate them!
    Best,
    Robin

    Firefox is just caught up in the industry wide disease of simplifying their user interface to satisfy the needs of mobile device users. It's probably true that they make up the vast majority of users. It is troubling that this trend ruins the experience for the few of us that still use powerful computers with huge and multiple display screens.
    As a developer of web pages, I often go through a cycle of looking at a web page I am developing, tweaking it, and refreshing the browser. No matter how many times I just proofread the content, I still find mistakes that need correction. So the view, correct, refresh cycle is so frequent that I need it to be efficient with well placed controls to accomplish the cycle.
    I don't mind making the GUI extremely simple for the majority of users, but I am upset with how often these "improvements" make it difficult for the experienced user/developer to use the tool in the way that suits them.

  • How to get full URL when LoaderInfo.isURLInaccessible == true?

    Why is Flash Security so hard to figure out?
    I am trying to load an image; however, the image URL I 1st receive is actually a redirected URL. I wish to load the redirected URL, but I can't get the full redirected URL because LoaderInfo.isURLInaccessible is true even though I think I follow all the precautions detailed on the following page:
    http://www.macromediademos.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10.1_air2_security_chang es.html
    Here is my sitaution...
    I have an image URL: i.e. "http://www.foo.com/image.jpg"
    I attempt to load the image ensuring that I set the LoaderContext's checkPolicyFile to "true"
                    var ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "http://www.foo.com/image.jpg");
                    var l:Loader = new Loader();
                    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoad);
                    var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
                    lc.checkPolicyFile = true;
                    l.load(ur, lc);
    When the Event.COMPLETE is dispatched, I discover that the loaded image's URL is not the one I first used ( "http://www.foo.com/image.jpg") instead the URL is a redirected URL  "http://www.bar.com/image.jpg".
    Because of sandbox issues, I can not use the loaded image and be able to manipulate the image. So instead I need to reload the image using the final URL. However, I cannot determine what the redirected URL is because the LoaderInfo.isURLInaccessible == true and LoaderInfo.url =="http://www.bar.com/", not "http://www.bar.com/image.jpg".
            private function onLoad(e:Event):void {
                   var li:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(e.target);
                   trace("isURLInaccessible = " + li.isURLInaccessible); //output = "isURLInaccessible = true"         
                   trace("li.url  = " + li.url); //output = "li.url = http://www.bar.com/"
    Acording to the Adobe Blog post (see URL above), I need to ensure two things: 1) LoaderContext.checkPolicyFile= true, and 2) the crossdomain policy file gives the proper permission.
    I think I've met both o these criteria. The crossdomain file for BOTH http://www.foo.com/crossdomain.xml and http://www.bar.com/crossdomain.xml is the following:
         <cross-domain-policy>
              <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
              <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
         </cross-domain-policy>
    What am I doing wrong? How do I ensure that I can get the redirected URL and LoaderInfo.isURLInaccessible == false?
    thanks!

    Here's an update. (though still no solution.)
    1) I preloaded ANY image from the redirected server: i.e. http://www.bar.com/image123.jpg. (Mind you, I did nothing with this preloaded image.) When I loaded this image, checkPolicyFile == true.
    2) A few seconds later, I loaded the desired non-redirected image: http://www.foo.com/image.jpg.
    3) This time, isURLInaccessible was true and I had access to the full redirected URL: i.e. http://www.foo.com/image.jpg.
    Please note that the image from the 1st step didn't have to be the same image from the 3rd step.
    It appears that you have to check the policy file on the redirected URL before have knowledge of the redirected URL. However, how can you check the policy file on the redirected URL if you don't know the redirected URL yet?
    Ah, Adobe Flash security makes so much sense and is always so simple. /sarcasm
    So does anyone know how to properly check the policy file for redirected images with this new info?
    Seemingly according to the security page written by Adobe which I linked to my 1st post, it should be as simple as setting the checkPolicyFile property of the LoaderContext. I've tried that and that doesn't work. So either Adobe's page is incorrect (perhaps) or is not clear (most likely).
    Unless anyone can come up with a simpiler way to do this, I'll probably do the following which theoretically should work:
    1) load the non-redirected image
    2) when image loads, determine if the loaded URL == the URL originally used to load the image
    3) If it is determined that the loaded URL is a redirected URL, then check if isURLInaccessible  == true.
    4) if isURLInaccessible  == true, then somehow load the policy file from the incomplete URL (I will need to figure out how to do this.)
    5) Once the policy file loads, then go back to step #1. When the process reaches step #4, then isURLInaccessible should be false at which case, process to step #6
    6) Load the redirected image URL
    The above seems like a lot steps to load an image. Can someone confirm if the above is necessary or if there is a simpler way to load the redirected image's policy file?

  • Cloaking the entire site's URL in address bar

    Should be a simple one for ya.  Purchased a .com domain, and once it went online I noticed that instead of just www.habittheharley.com showing in the address bar, it shows the indivual page names, some of which look untidy. I remember back in the day when I used to get CJB to just cloak my entire site to example.cjb.net, it was a fairly simple tickbox option i recall.
    How do I get it to somehow cloak the entire website URLs to be just habittheharley.com, instead of habittheharley.com/contact or habittheharley.com/photoblog?  My domain/hosting provider had no idea when I rang them (netfirms)
    Thanks!

    How do I get it to somehow cloak the entire website URLs to be just habittheharley.com, instead of habittheharley.com/contact or habittheharley.com/photoblog?  My domain/hosting provider had no idea when I rang them (netfirms)
    That would be a good enough reason to tell this host goodbye in my opinion.  How can they help you with something important if they can't answer this simple one.
    There would be two ways to do what you want -
    Use frames.  The only URL that appears in the address bar is the URL of the frameset page.  This 'solution' would be like shooting yourself in the foot, but it is one way to solve the problem
    Use .htaccess or mod-rewrite (*nix, and Windows, respectively) to rewrite your URLs to whatever you want.
    There's actually a third way - don't worry about it at all.  Surely there are more important fish for you to fry?

  • Why are sites not showing URLs in address bar or showing incorrect URLs?

    I have just noticed that when I will open a tab and view it the URL for that tab is incorrect. It shows the URL of another site instead of the URL for the site I am viewing.
    Example: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error-8.jpg
    As you can see on that screenshot I am viewing the failblog but the URl showing in the address bar is http://input.mozilla.com/sad when it should be that of the failblog. No matter how many times I refresh, close/reopen same site, close/reopen firefox, the problem persists.
    Now some sites aren't showing a URL at all: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error2.jpg
    As you can see in the second screenshot the URL is missing in the address bar.
    You see, when I wanted to share a link with someone today to an image of two cute piglets it kept showing me the URL to an online game instead in the address bar. This is obviously not something that is suppose to happen.

  • How to display non-URL-based thumbnail images in JTable

    I'm trying to display thumbnail images as a tooltip popup for certain cells in a JTable. The thumbnail images are java image objects that have been retrieved dynamically as the result of a separate process--there is no associated URL. For this reason, I can't use the setToolTipText() method of the JTable.
    My attempts to JTable's createToolTip() method also failed as it seems the ToolTipManager never calls this method for a JTable.
    As a workaround, I've added a MouseMotionListener to the JTable that detects when the mouse is over the desired table cells. However, I'm not sure how to display the popup over the JTable. The only component that I can get to display over the JTable is a JPopupMenu, but I don't want to display a menu--just the image. Can anyone suggest a way to display a small popup image over the table?
    Thanks.

    Thank You Rodney. This explains why my createToolTip() method wasn't being called, but unfortunately I'm no closer to my goal of displaying a true custom tooltip using a non-URL image rather than a text string. If I make a call to setToolTipText(), at any point, the text argument becomes the tooltip and everything I have tried in createToolTip() has no effect. However, as you pointed out, if I don't call setToolTipText(), the table is not registered with the tooltip manager and createToolTip() is never even called.
    To help clarify, I have attached an SSCCE below. Please note that I use a URL image only for testing. In my actual application, the images are available only as Java objects--there are no URLs.
