wrong autocompletion

Post by Thomsterdam »

hi all
I regularly consult https://www.oersethelp.nl It is a translation site between Dutch and Frisian (no, not a cow, but a language).
When I type ‘oer’ in the address bar, Firefox completes the site to ‘oersethelp.nl’

Great, so I hit enter.

Then it goes wrong, because the automatic completion by Firefox fills in https://www.www.oersethelp.nl/ which of course is wrong and I get the message "We can't find that site, please, check .... etc."

Is there a way I can remove or adjust this URL https://www.www.oersethelp.nl/ from the Firefox history so I will be taken to https://www.oersethelp.nl/
which is the correct URL.

Thanx
Tushman

Hi Thomas:

I do not know anyway to edit the URL from autocomplete settings.

This will delete it from autocomplete:

1) In FF address bar, Highlight the wrong URL (www.www.oersethelp.nl) by using your up & down arrow keys. (Or you can use the mouse cursor).
2) Once it's highlighted, press keyboard combination:

Shift + Delete
