Thank you for your effort on locationbar2 at first.
I just want to ask is it possible to disable the “hide protocols” function in locationbar2? or can you make it act like what firefox7 does?
It seems not good as what now locationbar2 acts, there is very very big blank place between domain and first segment,
you know, firefox7 has handed over “hide protocols” function itself, I prefer it’s way to hide protocols.
Is it possible, that you can make a difference between the url and the anchor (everything behind the #)!?
Example: “http://exaple.com/file#anchor”
That there is da difference between “file” and “anchor” … that i can click separate in “file” and “anchor” and not altogether!
That the “#” character is the same separator like the “/”!
I hope you understand me …
Btw: it works fine (with a little modification) on firefox7!
Great work!

Cyrilic urls looks weird when mouse cursor is not over them. Try on this, for example: http://спортотдых.рф/

Hello all
First of all, thanks for your efforts and your work to offer us this very useful extension.
I would like to report that Locationbar2 conflicts with Status-4-Evar extension.
Specifically the conflict occurs with the part of S4E which interacts with location
bar.
Since S4E is an essential upon the release of Firefox4, i hope and i encourage
you to improve Locationbar2, making it compatible with S4E.
Personally i use Locationbar2 almost since its appearance and now i feel that is a
part of Firefox, so i can’t do without it in my Firefox environment! It has served me
so many times!
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 #)
