How can I get Firefox to stop doing this? I'm using http:// in front of the address but it makes no difference

If the address is valid it should work.

Can you open e.g. https://1.1.1.1/ or http://97.77.230.146:8088/ that are working for everyone else?

If you type just 1.1.1.1 in your location, does that also search instead of navigating?

Oh dear! It looks like I simply mistyped the ip address (several times, too)because I’ve got I this time.

Thank you for taking the time to help this dummy!
