Hi, Mike.

That's right, but I think it works only if it's a commonly visited website
or one in your history. Let's see if I can summarize what we've discussed,
with some additional information that has come to mind.

1. Control-l brings up the edit field in which to type a Web address in
both
IE and Firefox. Control-o does the same in IE but not FF. So using
control-l
in both cases avoids confusion.

2. In Firefox, you can save yourself having to type the http://www. Prefix
and .com if you just write the Website name and press control-enter. This
shortcut works only for .com addresses.

3. In most cases, it isn't necessary to write http://www. Before the
Website
address whether in IE or FF. However, it may be necessary to write www.
Before addresses that are rarely visited and/or aren't in your history.
Also, beware of addresses that don't begin http://, such as high security
websites.

Is that a fair summary?

Hi Adrian,

In IE if I invoke the Control +l or O keystroke, type in for example,
blind-computing.com, & press enter or control + enter, IE will take me to
the webpage but, I have to put the, .com, at the end but, I don't need to
put anything in front of, blind-computing.com. IE automatically puts the,
http://www. , in the front of the URL. At least, this is the way it works
for me. Take care.
Mike

Control-l in IE does the same thing as control-o in IE and as control-l
in
FF. So I've made a habit of using control-l for both browsers.

To clarify what I wrote before, pressing control-enter after typing a
web
address in Firefox saves you from having to type http://www. It doesn't
work
in IE.

Hi Adrian,

Thank you very much for this very helpful information. 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 or, control + enter. In Firefox you invoke the, Control + L,
keystroke, then type in the URL you want & press enter or, control +
enter.
Invoking the Control + O, keystroke in Firefox, is the keystroke for
opening

specific files. Thanks again, take care.
Mike

Mike,

Skip both the http and ww prefixes and press control-enter after you
type
the website name. I just checked with this address, and it worked.

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? All
advice
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
Mike
