Locationbar² (Tito's Hack)

Locationbar² (Tito's Hack)

This is a modified version of the original Locationbar² that solve some issues with the UTF8 encoding.

This images shows the problem when clicking a URL with UTF8 encoding.

Original Version

Hacked Version

Features of Locationbar² (Tito's Hack)

• This version will allow you click on URLs that use the UTF8 encoding without breaking the URL
• The protocols are not greyed
• Clicks on the URL bar will auto decode the URLs.

UPDATE: Seems that with the Original version some UTF8 URLs are broken but not all. Wikipedia is not broken but this site and dmoz.org are broken. Strange.. so the problem seem to be on how server handle requests.
So the hacked version fix the problem for theses servers.

This add-on was hacked without the authorization of the original author. I mailed this author but not received any response.

Sorry, I'm not the developer of this add-on, I just hacked it to get it working on sites that I use.
