Hi, The open dialog in Firefox threw a curve ball at me too when I first started using it. That dialog is really only meant for opening files stored locally on your computer. If you use alt d to go to the address bar rather than control o, you should have no problems typing in addresses whether you shorten them or not. HTH.
