Hello,

I'm new to using a smart phone and have downloaded Firefox Mobile onto my Android phone. It works great when searching for a website but I have one that I already know and would like to go directly to it. Unfortunately every time I enter the URL I get a search for the website, not the website itself.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I'm not using my phone to post this question but rather my laptop (which I find easier to use). My phone is a Moto G Power (2020) using Android 11 and FF 110.0.1

Thanks, Andre'a

Hi Paul,

Thanks for responding. I appreciate the help.

Here's what I've learned:

1.) I don't always need the "www" at the beginning. For instance I entered "npr.org" and it took me directly to the site.

2.) The site I was trying to go to was a YouTube Private Playlist. I had been entering it (as you suggest) with the "www" but that didn't work. It only took me to a search. In the end I discovered that INSTEAD of "www" I needed to place an "m" at the beginning. That finally worked.

It's interesting that we're getting different results. It seems that the methods FF uses aren't always consistent. Bummer.

Thanks again for the response! - Andre'a

Hi

if you type in the address, but starting with "www", the site should open without a search. I tried www.mozilla.org and Firefox for Android took me straight to it.
