Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. However, the URL you posted is not valid, as it contains a backslash ('\') where a forward-slash character should be ('/'). If you replace this character with the correct one (so the URL is "www.streamingfaith.com:8000/admin"), then it behaves correctly without having to explicitly specify the protocol.
Thanks ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- when i tried to visit www.streamingfaith.com:8000 (without typing http://) firefox incorrectly assumed that www.streamingfaith.com was the protocol and 8000 was the address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
