Revert to previous behaviour in the address bar
Just upgraded to Firefox 31.2 and I find the new behaviour of the address bar conflicts with the way I work. I often cut and paste URLs, I type directly into the address bar, I use a current tab to go to about.config and none of these work. I found one reference to changing gfx.xrender.enabled to false but this hasn't helped. Any clues on how to revert to the old behaviour?

hello msjs, i'm not entirely sure what you're referring to by the new behaviour in the address bar. maybe this is also something caused bay one of your addons - which you could check by launching firefox into safe mode once for testing purposes...

Thanks Philip But I have NOT changed any addons for the last three versions so it is unlikely to be that. I will take a look though.
The behaviour I was talking about was how parts of the url disappeared when I clicked into the address bar, the same when I would try to copy a URL. When I would type about.config into a used tab, I end up getting "Firefox can't find the server at www.about.config" even though I did not type the "www". If I typed it into a new tab, about.config still works.
By changing "gfx.xrender.enabled" and "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" to false in about.config I appear to have solved the first two parts of the problem.

Derrrrr.... Facepalm! I knew that, I used it earlier. Too many hrs out of bed.
All three problems solved and the 4th about to be.
