Hello,

Using FF 7 and when I start to type http:// or https:// in the address bar it skips the "h" and enters a "w" instead. So i get "wttp://" or "wttps://". How do I stop this from happening.

Thanks.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I found that going to about:config and setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false seems to have fixed the problem.
