After upgrade to Firefox 8 I found out that when I try to search from location bar anything with diacritics (eg. “ěščřžýýáíéäö”) those characters were either removed, either replaced by ’?’ character.
At least in my case problem was caused by Locationbar² extension. By disabling it, everything started to work again.

After updating to version 9.0.1 of Firefox I noticed that the icon on the right of the address bar would sometimes look like it’s vibrating along with Flagfox. Also when this behavior occurs the CPU usage for Firefox increases significantly. I disabled Locationbar2 and that stopped the behavior. Some kind of incompatibility issue (with version 9 itself or Flagfox maybe) I would venture to guess?

Hello, I think I found a bug or at least a unwanted feature: If I copy a part of an URL including the protocol, the pasted text looks like: “http://http://mywebsite.tld/”.
Maybe the plugin interferes with some other settings? (I’m using Firefox 9/Win64)

Like the two posters above, I came here to report the double http:// copy bug. It began occurring, I believe, with Firefox 8, but I know it occurs every time with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1.
I much appreciate your fine extension; it is an essential part of Firefox to me.

I tried to pick apart the extension to see if I could prevent double http:// when protocol hiding is on, but without luck.
My findings:
I constructed this regex for actually detecting and removing double protocol, but couldn’t find out where in the urlbar.xml file it should be placed. – http://jsfiddle.net/LmD73/3/
The closest I got was to put it on line 244 in the setter, before storing this.inputField. This makes the copying work as intended but display is borked. Leads me to believe the http:// is added outside this extension, just weird how it only does so for http and not ftp.
Thanks a lot Dão, for this very useful addon. Curious: Have you stopped using it yourself?
Love it, hope that the next release might include a fix for the double http:// bug and would also love to be able to seperate anchors (click before the #)
I have a bug to report: when hiding the protocol (http://), I get gaps on both sides of the host name, regardless of the “Margin between segments” setting. (Firefox 14.0.1 on Ubuntu).

Same for me w/ FFox 14.0.1 on Win XP …

Is this where we are supposed to notify about bugs?
I don’t know if this is a locationbar issue or a Firefox (14.0.1) issue.
Or maybe it’s an Adobe PDF reader issue, or a Reader-locationbar conflict.
For PDF files, the ability to click on the various sub-directories and such to jump to those
locations doesn’t work, and it doesn’t format the address with the different parts like usual.
Also, you can’t even modify the URL in the address bar. It’s read-only.
If this isn’t your issue, can you let me know so I can contact Adobe support. Thanks.
In Firefox 15 Locationbar destroys the feature to select the whole URL when you do a single click in the URLbar.
This worked in Fx14 but in Fx15 you always have to click twice: the first click only disables the layout of the URL and the second finally selects the address.
Can you fix that?
Locationbar²
