How can I get Firefox to include the http when copying and pasting from the address bar?

I know you can use "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to re-enable the display of "http://" on URLs in the address bar, but I think there's an actual bug with hiding them in the address bar that should be corrected:
When I click and drag in the address bar to select part of an address, including the beginning of the address, then use CTRL+C to copy it, and CTRL+V to paste it into something else, the pasted URL does not include "http://"; this is often inconvenient and will break in certain forms and so on.
In Chrome--where I guess the http-hiding feature was copied from--if you click and drag to select part of the URL including the beginning, then copy, when you paste, the "http://," hidden in their address bar, *is* included. That's how it *should* work. Firefox's implementation is incomplete and frustrating.

This is a known problem and should be fixed in Firefox 8.<br>

  • How can I get chekbox or button to function as copy and pasting the information on acrobat?

    I need to have a checkbox or a button where information will be copied from another filled out text.  For example, when you purchase something online, there is a box where you can click if you billing address is the same as shipping address.  When you click on the box, the whole entire information under shipping address gets copied on billing address. 
    Can somebody please help me how I can do this function on adobe acrobat?  I am using windows by the way.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    Just thinking.
    • Did You try more than one stand alone DVD-player ?
    • When You burned Your DVD - Did the internal Hard disk have more than 25Gb free space
    iDVD and Mac OS Can't address any other for it's temp files - pretty important.
    If so I would.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.

  • Before, when I typed an http address in my hotmail account, it would be highlighted; since I got firefox, it is NOT highlighted. How can I get firefox to highlight an http address when I type it?

    The above say it all:

    Do you mean to create a clickable hyperlink while composing a new mail?
    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

  • How do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store?

    how do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store now that the app store has discontinued selling the product?
    Thanks
    -Ethan

    Purchases from the App Store do not include serial numbers. The App Store itself provides the licensing for the product. You will have to contact Apple to have them help you reinstall Lightroom through the App store (just because it is no longer for sale does not mean that you will not be able to download your past purchases).

  • How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

    How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

    As long as the right-click displays the dropdown menu, then it is enabled and you just have to select "copy" or "paste".
    I find the quickest way to copy/paste is to use the keyboard shut-cut of, command C and command V. Quick and easy and less moving of the mouse.
    Good luck.

  • How can I get Firefox to fill my screen? There are gaps in the top and bottom of my screen, thanks.

    I dropped my laptop recently and messed up the hard drive so after installing new hard drive I reloaded win 7 and Mozilla Firefox. When Firefox loads up there is a 1" plus gap on the top and a half inch gap at the bottom of all pages. How can I get the browser to fill the screen? Thanks.

    This website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

  • How can I get Firefox to pass its downloads to Speed Download as all the other browsers do (it used to be able to do this)?

    Until a few months ago All our browsers could automatically pass their downloads to "Speed Download" for downloading, very handy to have them all working in one place.
    Now after recent updated in the last six months or so Firefox alone no longer does this but insists on using its own download setting.
    how can I get it to respond to Speed Download as before, along with Google Chrome, Camino and Safari?

    Have you tried the update to Fast Dial, version 4.2.1 or later? It should override the built-in new tab page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/ ''(Note: I haven't tested it myself)''
    If you are using a similar add-on that isn't the same "Fast Dial", which one is it?

  • How can I get back an older version of a document in Pages from the icloud

    In Pages I thought I could edit down and rename a document and it would keep the original intact - how can I get the original back?

    If you resaved the file and changed its name it is wherever you saved it to.
    If you changed the name of the open file then that is your only copy.
    You can go back to previous versions by various methods. In Pages 5 it is:
    Menu > File > Revert

  • How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

    When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
    The file manager I'm using is nemo.
    I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
    Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

    I have the exact same problem.
    The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
    I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
    If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
    If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
    What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?

  • I can't copy and paste from the Internet (using commands or manually).

    I can cut and paste within word but just not from the Safari to word.  I have just recently purchased MacKeeper if that has anything to do with it?  HELP!!

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • How can I get Firefox to go directly to home page and not to how to syn page as I do not want to syn anything

    whenever I now go to mozilla firefox, it opens the whats new, or how to syn ? I don't have anything to sync, just want to go to the Home page I selected

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.
