URL bar not going to the website I type?

Typing reddit.com into the URL bar instead takes me to some page from my history that firefox seems to think is associated with the page.
It's worse when I search for less-used things. I typed in maps.google.com and got sent to a website I'd browsed yesterday about cell phones. It's really quite annoying. Is there a way to turn it off or change it? I haven't been able to find an option for it.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • I delete a specific cookie and it automatically reappears. How do i permanently delete a cookie? I do not go on the website, but the cookie wont go away.

    I went in and deleted my cookies and I closed my options and then went back in and one in particular was back. So, I completely closed FireFox, re-opened it and left it on the blank FireFox homepage. Then I went in and deleted said cookie again, but no matter how many times I delete it, it just re-appears. I am not going onto that website, it just wont go away.
    Cookie information is below:
    Name: synthasiteVisitorId

    Edit:
    I was deleting all my cookies except for the 5 or 6 that are from websites I visit daily. I went in and deleted ALL cookies and the above cookie successfully deleted.

    This error is happening everyday. Please advise for a fix.
    If this is happening on an UPSTREAM server it is because you have approved updates that are no longer available from Microsoft. Almost always this involves approvals of *EXPIRED* updates (which have been pulled from the catalog and cannot be downloaded).
    If this is happening on a DOWNSTREAM server it's because something/someone deleted the files from the upstream server. It can also happen if the entire upstream ~\WSUSContent folder has gone amuk.
    For an upstream server, find the expired updates, remove the approvals, cancel the downloads, and then decline the updates.
    For a downstream server, figure out what the affected updates are and fix the upstream server.

  • A link in a thunderbird message fails to activate firefox but if i copy & paste it in the ffx location bar, it goes to the linked web page

    a link in a thunderbird message fails to activate firefox but if i copy & paste it in the ffx location bar, it goes to the linked web page. Also, some web page links are failing except that some will work if i use right-click with open in new tab. just updated ffx to 3.6.13, then updated java per mozilla notification (plugin checker)

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks...that was one of the things I first tried. I did a save as another document.
    I also resized the image in PS so it would be at 100% of size, figuring that would help and I made the image box's background white instead of none, but nothing so far.
    It almosat seems like it is coming from the origianl template file?

  • My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

    My ibook g4 took a install from apple update . Why is it not going past the screen where is shows Mac OS X

    Did you verify the hard drive before installing the update? You could have had hard drive corruption where the computer did not know where all the files are and something didn't get installed correctly.
    Did you repair permissions?  The installer may not have been able to overwrite a file if the permissions on files were not set correctly.
    Frankly, the easiest thing will be to re-install the operating system from the installer disc.  While booted to the disc make sure you run Disk Utility First Aid to repair the drive and permissions, then install.  Many of us prefer to download updates from Apple rather than rely upon Software update. we use SU to tell us what we need but we download them separately.
    For which operating system was this update?  Apple hasn't brought out a new system update for G4s in quite a while.

  • Common URL and not to use the hostname.domain to connect

    Hi All
    We are interested in geeting information regarding the iAS vs. load balancer our question is : we have one common URL but we need to configure iAS10g to use this common URL and not to use the hostname.domain to connect
    Can you please share some solutions ?
    Thanks

    Well, let me step back. I am not sure if I understand your question completely. Can you give me an example of what do you mean by "common url"?
    Also when you say you want to use a common url vs. hostname.domain to connect, what is this connection you are talking about? Is this the connection to EM (AS Control)? Your application? Or something else?
    Knowing this will help me suggest you the right/appropriate solution.
    Thanks

  • User decision activity not going to the agents(Position Maintained).

    Hi All,
    I assigned a specific Position in the agent field of  the user decision activity. But after assigning, the decisiion step is not going to the expected agent but it getting executed by the WF-BATCH user.
    I have checked the same in the Tcode : PO13 and the corresponding user is the only one maintained for that position.
    Kindly guide what can be the possible reasons. Is there any thing i am missing.
    Thanks,
    Neslin.

    Thanks.Yes.Latest start and latest end are already maintained and there is a Rule when the latest start missed also.  kindly let me know how i can avoid this also..
    How to check whether the position is maintained to the SAP user id?.I have seen the user maintained under the position in Tcode PO13..
    The deadline is calculated 4 days after sydatum.
    One more thing the Workitem got reserved by the WF-batch and executed by WF-batch.

  • SharePoint 2013 web service: Error while sending claim based authentication request (The corresponding SID in the domain is not part of the intended account type)

    We are using .asmx services for SharePoint features such as comments, and rating.
    Service
    Feature   used
    http://<<hostname>>/_vti_bin/socialdataservice.asmx
    Commenting, Rating
    http://<<hostname>>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
    For out of box workflows
    In SharePoint 2013,
    SharePoint – 80  web application is on claims based mode and user is logging in with windows authentication. With logged-in client context used to call SharePoint's default web service, we are getting below error message from
    web service (Social data and user profile services).
    Server was unable to process request. ---> The corresponding SID in the domain is not part of the intended account type.
    When the service is accessed using console application with Visual Studio credentials (logged in user), we are able to access the service. Below is the code snippet
    using   (SocialDataService
    service = new  
    SocialDataService())
                      service.Credentials =
    CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
    SocialCommentDetail detail =   service.AddComment("<<url>>",
      "Test Comment",
    null,  
    null);
    Are SharePoint 2013 web services not supporting request coming with claim based authentication web application?
    Thanks, Pratik Agrawal (MAQ Software)

    While this applies to 2010, I believe the same is true with 2013:

  • Logon failure; the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer (IE App)

    Hello,
    Question of a newbie:
    In Windows Server 2012 I'm using IE10 to simulate numerous different users. But for some of these "fake" users I got the error:
    Logon failure; the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
    So I opened PowerShell : GPEDIT.MSC
    Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / User Rights Assignment.
    In the detail zone : Double-Clic sur Allow log on locally.
    Dialog box : Allow log on locally properties
    But the Add User or Group
    button is grayed out!
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help!

    Several months after...
    I found the solution : the user has to be member of the Server
    Operators in Active Directory. 
    That's all :)
    Thanks

  • I can't import my movies to work on them. They are coming from a external hard drive, not directly from the camera, its type mpeg-e (.mts)

    My movies are type MPEG-2
    I can't import my movies to work on them. They are coming from a external hard drive, not directly from the camera, its type mpeg-2 (.mts)
    What can I do ?

    1. Is your external HD connected by firewire?
    2. mpeg2 is the final compressed delivery format of a DVD, not intended for editing, and iMovie cannot handle such files, so you need to convert them first:
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.

  • Failed to start worker process: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (0x80070569

    We just rebuilt our machine with server 2012, and it was working flawlessly and then randomly it started giving me this error if i would try to start up a machine. At first this was just an annoyance but now it is worrying me greatly. I have tried
    everything from logging on as the domain admin account to the actual server administrator account. Nothing seems to start these machines up, and I need them to start.
