FireFox now automagically gives you its latest and greatest… whether you want to or not. Perhaps ok, perhaps not. But: some things change. Things I do care about. I don’t like someone assuming I’m okay with them in this fashion.
Anyway, rant over.
The new Firefox (shiny new version 7, at least new right now) removes the standard url prefix “http://”. I like that prefix. So, let’s add it back!
From somewhere on the web:
To restore the “http” prefix:
- Type “about:config” in the location bar and press Enter.
- Toggle the “browser.urlbar.trimURLs” preference to change its value to “false”
And Firefox behaves again.
