1202824 2011-05-17 12:01:00 Something has changed between 3 and 4 and I cannot find the setting to fix it.

In 3 I could type the word "mightyape" into my address bar and be taken directly there.
This process worked for a multitude of sites and was a real time saver.
Now I type it in and it takes me to a Google search.

How do I restore this?

1202826 2011-05-17 20:59:00 Just tried that in both 3 and 4 and it did the same thing , went to google.

Which I would expect it to, considering you are not telling the url where to go to, eg is it going to .com, .net, .org, .co.nz, .com.au or multi other options.

If you have been to the site before and type mightyape in , yes it will go directly there as long as you have not cleaned out the cookies. Thats nothing to do with FF4.

1202827 2011-05-17 21:55:00 What happens if you first open Mightyape having got there via Google, and then type in mightyape at a later date??

In other words, load your Cookies :) :)


Oops! I'm not alone :)

I agree with you.
I think what he needs to do is enter the URL for the first time and then it will come up automatically subsequent times.

1202830 2011-05-17 23:21:00 Mine goes straight to mightyape.

Though I tried by just typing in faith, it went to Google results.

So I visited the faith.com website (facepalm)

Then tried just typing faith into the address bar...

And got google results again.
