Website URL changes after I hit enter

Steps:
I enter "wowt.com" (that's a local TV station web site) into the address bar. When I do this, I get suggestions of sites that I have visited before (that's ok). As soon as I hit "Enter" on the keyboard, it takes me to "woot.com". This is not an autocomplete issue. This only happens in Firefox (I've tried in Chrome and IE9).
This seems like a spellcheck feature for the address bar in Firefox that needs to be turned off.

Nevermind... it was the AdBlock Plus plug-in doing the change.

  • In previous versions, I could type a partial address in the address bar -- say, nytimes or amazon -- and it would go to the correct site after I hit enter. With Firefox 6, it just goes to Google. How do I get that older, more efficient function back?

    After typing the partial address, I do get a dropdown that usually includes the correct, full address in the first listing. Also, the sites are all in my bookmarks folder.

    You can also do this without an extension by modifying a pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use a Google Lucky search.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • URL changing after been redirected to another component ....

    Hi,
    I have modified to display additional page for every authenticated user before displaying the portal home page ..
    here is the code ..
    IPortalComponentURI uri = request.createPortalComponentURI();
    uri.setContextName("com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.TermsAndConditions");
    String Url = uri.toString();
    action=\"servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.TermsAndConditions\">");
    response.write("<form id=\"redirform\" method=\"post\" target=\"_parent\" action="Url">");
    response.write("</form>");
    response.write("<script>document.getElementById(\"redirform\").submit();</script>");
    Terms and conditions page is being displaying but the URL looks like ..
    ...../irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.TermsAndConditions
    but i want it to be as  ..../irj/portal ..
    how can i achieve this.
    I want to make my page to be appeared before displaying home page.

    HI,
    Long visible URL doesn't ok to the management.
    Initially i tried to direct to the T&C's page from masthead page using response.include(.., ..); but in that case T&C's page is being displaying only in masthead part i want it to place on the top of whole page.
    so as a next choice i'm using <form> tag and in action="irj/servlet/prt/portal/portalroot/com.sap.portal.termsandconditions.Component" but unfortunately long visible URL taking place in the address bar.
    Can't we find the place where exactly the control being passing on to default frame work page? if yes then i can redirect every one to my component first and after checking can be redirected to default framework page.
    I read some where that by changing "com.sap.portal.desktop.url" we can achieve this. but don't know where should i assign my URL to that attribute in session object, even don't know whether it will work or not?
    Thanks

  • Weather channel URL changes?

    Am I the only one who is seeing the TWC URL change after installing it on the original iPhone's home screen? I've installed my 2 favorite weather channel pages on the home screen so many times. Sometimes they'll work for a day, many times only a few minutes. Anyone else? Oh, yeah, 2.0 firmware.

    I found a discussion about this with some more info.
    http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/weather-channel-blocks-i phone-5278.html
    Someone had emailed the weather channel about this and this is the response they got...
    "Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us. We felt that the load time for weather.com was excessive so we made the decision to force the mobile site and thereby cut our download time in half. We are actively monitoring this, as well as consumer feedback and may make an update to our current strategy soon.
    Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you feel and please send any additional thoughts or comments directly to me."

  • Why do I have to click the go button after typing a URL? Before FF6 I could just hit enter.

    I just recently updated to Firefox 6. Before the update, I was able to type a address into the URL bar and hit return. Nice and easy. Now if I do this I get no response. To direct to a web page I have to move my cursor to click the go button. It's annoying and a waste of time. What happened here? Any way I can change things so I can just hit enter again?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Firefox stops responding for about 30 seconds after hitting Enter on any website's search bar, even the built in Google search or when signing into Facebook.

    As the title says, I run Firefox Beta 6 and just reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my system due to seriously messed up Windows update, and when I downloaded and installed Firefox, I noticed every time I searched using the Google search next to the URL bar, FF would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute, with nothing running in the background and no other programs running. I also disabled all Add-Ons and it still continues to act up, so that leads me to believe it's a FF issue, but even on every other website when using the search bar as soon as I hit enter, it locks up and stops responding then goes back to normal about 30 secs later, or if I sign into Facebook it does the same, and even when I had the FF 5 Beta before I had to reinstall I never had a problem.

    I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
    http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b

  • I use to be able to enter a URL and hit enter and Firefox would go to that site. Now I must hit the arrow in the address bar to go to the web page. How can I change that back

    I can no longer just hit enter to go to a web page. Now I have to hit the arrow on the right side of the address bar.

    There is a known issue for Firefox 10 on Windows. It involves AVG Safe Search making the "Enter" key not work in the Location/URL bar. AVG needs to fix the problem with their Add-on for Firefox.

  • If I am on Website A, where/how can I simply enter the address for Website B and hit Enter to get there?

    Firefox appears to have made some changes in the last couple of weeks. In the past, if I were on, say, the Bank of America website, bankofamerica.com would appear in one of the lines at the top left portion of the screen. When I finished my business with B of A, I could erase or overtype that address, type in the address of the website I wanted to visit next-- americanexpress.com, ubs.com, etc.,--hit Enter, and I would be connected to the new website. It appears to me that this capability no longer exists; if it does, I don't know how to use it. I also cannot find any back or forward arrows allowing one to move between screens. If the features I've mentioned are, in fact, still available, please tell me how to use them.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *Firefox > Options
    *"View > Toolbars"
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • How do I set the enter button on my keyboard to go to websites after I have entered the web address

    After I type in the web address and hit enter it doesnt go to the site. I have to manually use the mouse and click the button to proceed to the web site. On all of my old versions i would type the web address and click enter and it would take me to the site.

    Hi goldowskin,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I'm changing from powerpoint to Keynote.  In powerpoint you can change slides by typing in the slide number and hitting enter.  I want to do the same in keynote without the slide switcher popping up at the top.  Possible?

  • When hitting enter on some web pages(after entering information), the page just reloads. How can I fix this? It worked before, but no longer does.

    When I go to certain web sites, and enter in my information(like my Bank website), I hit enter, and the page just reloads.
    Or when I finish making a post to my blog, and I hit "Post Entry", the page just reloads.
    I did not have this problem until a few days ago. I've been using the same Firefox browser, and have deleted my cookies/history...ect.
    But nothing works.

  • After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!

    After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!
    take for example facebook & ebay, the fonts have changed to a distorted block type font, very un-readable, Only after I installed adobe CC, this took place...
    I am using google chrome
    Can any one help me?
    I have tried to fix it by tinkering with some settings in google chrome but had no luck!
    here is a screenshot of the problem:

    Unless a web page uses a “web font” that it supplies itself, web pages typically provide a list of fonts, in priority order, of fonts to be used to render text. Typically, this list of fonts represents “system fonts” of MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android - fonts that can be counted on being installed. Helvetica Neue is a MacOS system font that is not typically found on Windows systems. And even if a user licenses recent versions of Helvetica Neue OpenType fonts and installs same on Windows systems, they are in the “Helvetica Neue Std” family which would not match “Helvetica Neue” which is native to MacOS. Thus, I suspect that the Helvetica Neue you have installed on Windows is an older font offering.
    There are three issues here:
    The first is that web pages provide a priority list for font usage. I suspect that the web pages you are seeing Helvetica Neue actually used on your system are requesting fonts in the order of Helvetica Neue and then Arial. The typical MacOS system would display the content with Helvetica Neue and the typical Windows system would display the content with Arial. Since you have Helvetica Neue on your system, you are getting rendering similar to what a MacOS system would have.
    The second issue is that there is no way to force a web page to reverse the order of priority of the fonts it lists.
    And finally, the third issue is that there is no way to hide a font selectively by application.
    The only way you can avoid Helvetica Neue being used on web pages preferring Helvetica Neue to let's say Arial or any other font on its list for particular text rendering is to uninstall Helvetica Neue.
    That having been said, other than perhaps personal type design preferences, are there any other issues with regards to use of Helvetica Neue for display of these web pages?

  • Why can't I load a page by hitting enter after I type it into the location bar? I have to click on the green arrow to load new pages.

    When I type a URL into the location bar, I have to click on the green arrow at the right end of the location bar for the new page to load. In previous versions of Firefox you just hit enter to load the new page.

    This didn't help my problem. When I restart Firefox in Safe Mode, the problem goes away but none of the other troubleshooting tips help. I noticed today that when I start Firefox in normal mode, I get this error: "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined." It's a Javascript error, and I also noticed that when I go to the Gmail page in normal mode the cursor isn't automatically placed in the username field like usual. When I start Firefox in safe mode it does this, however.
