Why in Firefox 35 the URL sequence \] is being transformed in "%"5D?

We have an application that receives an enconding URL having the ] char. On Firefox 35 it is encoded into "%"5D which is causing us trouble decoding the url.
Can you provide details on why this modification was held?
Thanks and regards,
Tito

Those square brackets are unsafe characters and thus are escaped by Firefox.

Why doesn't the URL change in the Wonder Bar when I change tabs, or when I navigate to pages within the site?

Just upgraded to 5.0
The URL in the WOnder Bar doesn't change when I switch from one tab to next.
For instance, I'm currently on this page, but I don't see the URL. What I see in the wonder bar is the last url I typed in: mailchimp.com.
Also, sometimes I get "new Tab" and when I type the URL, the Title tag does not come up on the tab, it stays as "new tab."
SOmetimes I click on a link and FireFox page comes up blank

There have been a couple of different extension that have caused that problem. You'll need to do a little troubleshooting to determine which of your extensions is causing that.

Why doesn't the url for a page not show when I open a 2nd firefox window?

Whenever I open another Firefox window, the address bar is blank. If I type in an address, it'll navigate to the site but all subsequent sites will not be reflected in the address bar.
Also, why is there an orange "Firefox pull down menu" always on these secondary windows?

Does the problem occur when you run in Firefox [[Safe Mode]]? If not, then see the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for help finding the cause of the problem.
On the orange Firefox "pull down menu" menu, do you mean the [[How do I get the Firefox Button?|Firefox Button]] that replaces the Menu Bar (at the top left of each Firefox window) or something else?

Air for iOS, why isn't the setting for device being remembered?

in flash CC with air3.7 and air3.8, everytime i open the general tab in the air for ios settings, the device is marked as iphone and ipad. i change it to iphone only, close the settings, save the file. when i open the settings again, i have to click on the general tab and the device is set back to iphone and ipad.
i consider this a bug. this has never happened in any other version of air. i had to reject an apple binary when i noticed it was set to be a universal app, which it isn't, and had i not caught the error, i would've been waiting only to be rejected by apple...
how can this be fixed? thanks

iOS 7 apparently requires at least 512MB of RAM. The fourth generation iPod touch only has 256MB, and therefore won't get it.

I no longer see the URL of any website so can't copy and past URLs into any emails, etc. Is there some setting to make URLs visible? when I updated, the URLs disappeared. I'm on a MacBook.

When I updated to the latest version of Firefox, the URLs disappeared so they are no longer visible at the top of the Firefox page. I can enter sites, but I can't copy and past the URLs anymore. Why can't I see the http://... info anymore? Is there some setting I changed or what might be the problem?
thanks.

Is there a way to prevent chaging an application ID in the URL

Environment
APEX 3.1.00.09 on AIX 5.3
I had a question posed to me from our middleware person concerning changing the URL by a user.
We have an outward facing APEX application, say ID 100, that uses a reverse proxy inside the firewall to point to the actual server hosting the APEX application. When a user enters the URL given to them for this application the login screen pops up just as planned. When the user now types over the application number in the URL he is taken to the login screen of a different application hosted on that same server.
The question is: How can I do either or both of the following:
1- prevent the user from over-typing the application ID in the URL or
2- when the user does type over the application ID he/she is redirected back to the desired application, in this case ID 100
This is the only outward facing application we have at the moment but I can foresee more coming.
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Hi Scott and others
Our Middleware Admin has some additional information and the same question. He is the expert on this project and I'm the messenger.
I've also forgotten the HTML tag to retain the spacing of his output. If someone will remind me I'll go back and put it in. Thx! :-)

Issue: Need help in restricting access to single application URL
Background/setup:
We currently have the following setup in our environment and trying to expose a single URL to the internet.
[Internet]-à[Firewall] -à [Apache Web Server as proxy] à [OHS + Apex running on same server]
[SERVER1] [SERVER2]
I have defined a virtual host on Apache Web Server residing on [SERVER1] which communicates with a virtual host defined on OHS on [SERVER2].
When I try to access this URL ( http://servername.com/pls/apex/f?p=150:4) from outside it works fine, but if I change the number in the URL to (http://servername.com/pls/apex/f?p=160:5), it is exposing other applications. I tried to define some rewrite rules but they seem to be too restrictive or just don’t do the job.
I was hoping if someone can help with me any valuable suggestions in getting past this issue. I masked some of the IP/server name information for security reasons.
These are the error messages in the error_log which shows how the URL’s are being served:

What does the URL mean -- p?n=#ID#

Hi,
I was going through the File Upload tutorial in the Developer Guide,
we give a url to download the file which is as follows
p?n=#ID#
Can someone explain why we give the URL as above, what does 'p' in the URL mean.
Is there some kind of APEX built in logic to treat 'n' as the file ID,I tried changing the parameter name from 'n' to 'test' and the download functionality did not work.
Please let me have an understanding of the same.
Thanks.
Regards,
Kartik

I have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/MailShoot.html
The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Why does Firefox remove the URL from the query string?

Hello there,
I've writing a servlet to read data from a file stored on a server. I'm using an HTTP <INPUT TYPE=file > element to locate the file to be read. When I run the servlet using IE as the browser it works fine. When I try running it using Firefox, the path to the file is not included in the query string. The full URL to the file shows up in the file input text field but then mysteriously disappears from the query string. Without the path, the servlet can't locate the file and the servlet fails. How do I get Firefox to include the path in the query string or is there some other workaround for this problem. I want my servlet to work on all types of browsers.
thanks,
grant

Well you may also ask it the other way. Why does Microsoft send the full path file with the input type="file" component?
The purpose of this control is to upload a file from the client to the server. That file is sent with the request.
It does not allow you to browse server files at all. Most probably you are working on your developer machine where the client IS the server, so it works right now.
It won't once they're seperate.
<input type="file"> is the wrong tool to use to browser the server. You need to write your own html pages to do that.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Why does firefox 4 incorrectly validate the url input?

Why does Firefox 4, HTML5 validation for URL input elements require the http:// prefix?
Is there a way around it?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

Why can't I see the URL in the address bar when I click on a hyperling, as opposed to typing in a URL? I send a lot of links, but if I can't copy and paste them from your address bar I'll have to abandon Firefox and use another browser.

I just gave you the details. When I click on a hyperlink, the URL of the site/page is not in the address box at the top of the page.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled''' and click '''Toggle'''
* The value is now set to '''False'''
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' and click '''Toggle'''
* The value is now set to '''False'''
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

If I want to open the same website in a second tab and press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, why does Firefox 4 insist on switching to the first tab? Is it possible to turn this off?

I regularly need to open the same website in two tabs, to be able to view changes made between opening the first and second tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, which would be auto-completed by Firefox. This enabled me to quickly open the same website in a second tab. Firefox 4 does not do this, instead it wants me to switch to the existing tab. This is not what I need.
Of course it is possible to open the same website in a second tab via e.g. a bookmark, but this takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select Firefox's behavior in this situation.

To create a duplicate of an existing tab in Firefox 4, do one of the following:
*middle-click the icon on the left end of the URL/Location/Address Bar
*hold down the Ctrl key and drag the tab until a small arrow appears at the border between tabs, then release the mouse button, then release the Ctrl key.

A Linux version fo Mozilla Firefox 6 Start Page states "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." - Why?

However, when moving away to other sites and then clicking home the response was Alert - "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." Having trying everything (apart from using a large club!) I am lost. Any suggestions team? Mark

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
