Post by SeahawksXLVIII »

Tested and it works for me. I'm guessing the "other websites" were all HTTPS. Try safe mode. Sounds like an extension is interfering with the code that correctly copies HTTP URLs.

Alternatively you can set this to false: browser.urlbar.trimURLs
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

It seems for some URI you need to include http(s):.
For a "www" the board will do it automatically.

Code: Select all

[url=www.example.com][/url]
(Automatically) changes to:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.example.com][/url]

Code: Select all

[url=ffsf.aaron-kelley.net/download_8.html][/url]
Is broken.

Code: Select all

[url=http://ffsf.aaron-kelley.net/download_8.html][/url]
Works.
