Hi To be consistent between Internet Explorer and Firefox, you can use control+l in both of them to open a web page and the http: is not required.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was pressing,Control + O, for webpages, instead of, Control + L. For those who might not know what I am talking about. In Internett Explorer when you want to open a new webpage you invoke the Control + o, keystroke, then type in the URL where you want to go & press enter. In Firefox you invoke the, Control + L, keystroke, then type in the URL you want & press enter. Invoking the Control + O, keystroke in Firefox, is the keystroke for opening specific files. Thanks again, take care.

Just type in the "jaws-users" portion of the address (without the quotes) and hit Control + Enter. This will prefix the necessary "http://www."; and append the ".com" portions of the address. This however, only works with ",.com" addresses. *Don Marang* Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. -- Dean Kamen On 7/10/2011 7:02 AM, Mike & Barbara In Arcadia wrote: > Hi All, > > When I am using IE& type in a URL, I only have to type, www.jaws-users.com, > but, when I am running Firefox, I have to type, http://www.jaws-users.com. > Can anyone tell me if there is something I can check or uncheck in Firefox > that will put in the http:// for me automatically like IE does?
