i hope im not repeating a topic ..
I tried to google .. but didnt get any good solutions

As much as I know .. in FireFox .. you type, say "urlname" then press
Control + Enter = it will add "*www." and ".com" ->*www.urlname.com
Shift + Enter = it will add "*www." and ".net" ->*www.urlname.net
Ctrl+Shift+Enter = it will add "*www." and ".org ->*www.urlname.org

Now my question is that ..
is it possible to add more combinations of buttons into it ..
ex. .co.in or .ernet.in etc

hmmmm nice question....

yeah... i think it can be done.... but how??... any FF developer here.... lol.. or any extension for this....???

i think shortcut keys for .co.in and .ernet.in are difficult as they've one more . and few more letters...

i googled and MSNBETA around but couldn't find matching...

grrrrrr :evil: :evil:
im not changing any more browsers ..

The crappy OPERA doesnot allow us to do anything ...
it just does it all on its own ...
say i've configured to have .com before .net in the autocomplete settings..
then i cant open .net by simply putting urlname in the address box ..
My love with Opera is very much over :p

So any help there with FF, ....
somebody ... *read that* = [Dexy] :)

Hehe.. @ Jeba .. Maxthon have that tooo for ages ...
And its much better .. If you enable an option all the links you open will be opened in a new tab . .. so you dont have to press middle button again and again ... Firefox is nothing against Maxthon ...

firefox also have the option to configure all these options from the option menu

if you want more options and power try "about:config" in the address bar

well i have not used maxthon but i certainly feel firefox is just great

lol.But bat there is a extension for that in firefox.Tabbed Browser Preferences
The only primary reason 11 million downloads is because of having extensions.Install what you want & not what they give you[maxthon] :twisted:
Btw since ur pushing maxthon so much,let me ask you this,is there something called auto copy for maxthon? It copies anything thats selected on the page. :roll:

My point is use Opera,Firefox or Maxthon but for godsake dont use IE. :)

Hmm.. Maxthon too can be customized using Plugins .. And the features I told were all inbuilt ...

Hmm.. That thing can be done easily too .. I will write a plugin for that when I get time ...

I noticed it when i wanted to go to www.http-tunnel.com and the ctrl+enter wasnt working ..

good un !

:arrow: Here's another one... Suppose you wanna come to the digit forums whaddaya do? type in www.thinkdigit.com/forum

Well, think again... just type "thinkdigit forum" and inya go...

try the same for various well known sites...

This is due to the fact that ff is connected to google and it follows the "I'm feeling Lucky" route...

ya ..
infact the google-im-feeling-lucky route sometimes irritates too ..
u want to go to some site and it leades you to a different one!

haha fat bat.After all the trolling going on regarding browsers all over the forum I still keep my stance Firefox rulz.
I hope alib_i will support me now since ...:twisted:
Gee .. You remind me of Uday chopra (or whatever his name is) of Dhoom .. Alibhai ..

Anyways jokes apart its just the matter of preference along with security that matters.Use firefox/opera/maxthon or any other secure browser but for gods sake dont use IE.

do not mean to Intrude, But Did u Know ? Opera can Complete the srver names for u.!! :) Suppose u type in "google" and hit enter. Opera will search 4 www.google.com !!
Find it in :Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Network>Server Name Completion. There in "suffixes" field put "www,....,..." as thou wisheth, in "prefixes" field put "com,net,org,...". Opera will search in the given order like
www.thesite.com, www.thesite.net, www.thesite.org the first hit is where u r taken.
Cool huh?
One more reason to use opera!!
Firefox is cool too. Will look what can I Find there!

you call that a feature .. frankly speaking it's a pain in a**
reason:-
you want to go to ww.thesite.org .. opera will still send you over to www.thesite.com, if it exists
it will send you to .org only if .com doesnt exist
this feature is only useful for .com sites .. for other sites, it irritates you.
i think you should have control over where you want to go .. not the browser decide it for you.
( im not a heavy firefox fan and i've used opera, i mean in not taking sides )

And Thanks Indyan! BTW does anybody know here what does "Author Mode" / "User Mode" means in Opera ? It changes the display allright, but it actually does ?
