URL Fixer

Note: watch the URL Fixer section of my blog for information on updates to this extension.

URL Fixer is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that corrects typos in URLs that you enter in the address bar. For example, if you type google.con, it will correct it to google.com (asking first, if you enable confirmation).

How It Works

URL Fixer fixes common typos in URLs entered in the address bar. It will fix errors like “google.con” or “youtube,com”. You have the option of being asked to confirm corrections before they are applied.

With URL Fixer, you can also specify your own set of custom corrections. Add or remove your own corrections in URL Fixer’s options dialog, accessible via Tools » Add-ons » URL Fixer » Preferences.

You can also correct errors as they happen; if Firefox can’t find the website you typed in, URL Fixer lets you mark that URL as a typo, and you’ll never see that error page again.

    URL Fixer is great

    Now you want me to be even “worser” speller.. havent you learned from microsoft word….thanks buddy .. thanks… ;)

  3. timendum Says:

    Please, could it correct “ttp” in “http” ? Thanks!

  4. Christopher Finke Says:

    timendum: If I’m not mistaken, it will already correct “ttp://[...]” to “http://[...]“. In what situation is that not happening?

  5. dfgdfgdfgdfgdf Says:

    Hi, thanks for the extension. Nice idea.

    It would be great if there would be way to configure it though, since I’d rather have it correct “.ed” to “.de” than to “.edu”.

  6. charl.ie Says:

    it doesn’t fix .ku to .uk :(

  7. Christopher Finke Says:

    charl.ie: It does now. :-)

  8. Bashar Says:

    Well thanks a lot. Those small things really come in handy.

  11. Pedro B. Moita Says:

    .py .pr .tp to .pt :)

    great extension, thank you.

  12. oystershucker Says:

    c’mon people.
    no one should every be typing “http://” or “.com,” ever.

    control-enter: adds http:// and .com to whatever you type in the address bar.

    e.g.: type “steepandcheap” into the address bar and hit ctrl-enter

    control-shift-enter for .org
    shift-enter for .net

  13. Christopher Finke Says:

    oystershucker: And what are the keys for .edu, .mil, .gov, and .co.uk? You can’t always avoid typing a full Web address, and for most people, it would be easier to remember “.org” than “ctrl-shift-enter.”

  14. Joe Says:

    .co to .com puh-lease!

  15. paulo Says:

    wicked cool stuff. thanks….

  16. Bryan Says:

    This is great and all, but it doesn’t seem to work if you click on a link that has the URL mistyped. Is support for mistyped links going to be implemented?

  17. Chris Says:

    Awesome extension. If I type wwwebay.com it doesn’t fix that however it does fix http://www.ebaycom. Any chance of fixing that? I’ve got real clumsy fingers and I’m depending on you to make up for my shortcomings.

  18. Nick Says:

    Can you make it so typing google.con won’t take me to http://www.google.com?

    I don’t want the www in my URLs in a few cases.

  19. Dan Cook Says:

    The worst one for me is http://www.cnn.cm

    (.cm -> .com)

    YOU GOTTA PUT THAT IN!

  20. Bashar Says:

    Finke: I think you’re gonna be stuck for the rest of your life fixing what we write wrong rather than we improve our writing skills. This reminds me of a quote for Rich Cook:

    “Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.”

    No offense though, I am just kidding :)

  21. Evilpig Says:

    Good idea. And with the help of the comments it looks like it could be even bettr. :)

  22. houseofbugs Says:

    change c.om to .com

  23. Kal Says:

    Can we configure it
    like .cn -> .com
    .ed -> .edu
    in some config file based on user choices?
    thx

  24. hey Says:

    Hey this is an awesome!

    Can you make this fix links too?

  25. hey Says:

    an awesome extension*

  26. hey Says:

    how about .xom -> .com i do that every so often.

  27. Kevin Cannon Says:

    Nice idea. Always thought something like this would be cool.

    I’ve spotted a bug in it though. You can’t go to the website http://www.met.ie because it tries to fix it to http://www.net.ie.

    I think your checking code needs to be adjusted so it only applies the change to the TLD itself.

  28. Sjoerd Says:

    Please put .ln -> .nl in for the Dutch! :)

  29. charl.ie Says:

    Thanks Chris :) Perfect!

  30. mark Says:

    Very useful, thanks!

  31. Nippon Says:

    Why don’t you support “.jp” Domains?
    Please support this, please!!

    I often mistake “.jp” to “.jo”, “.j@”, “j-”.

  32. BenEnglish Says:

    I’m at work and can’t test (IE only shop), but is URL Fixer any help with clickable links? Some web forums don’t want links tracked back to them, so they require members to post only broken links like:

    htp:
    htttp:
    -http:
    variousrandomnonsense:
    ht tp:

    I usually middle-click the links to open them in a new tab, then edit the URL and hit . Will URL Fixer treat this as if it were typed into the address bar for the new tab and do the editing for me? If so, there are some communities that would be forever grateful for that kind of help.

    I realize that fixing clickable links isn’t the intent, here, but I was wondering if it was possible. Whether it is possible or not, I think the whole idea is just wonderful. I’ll download and test tonite at home. In the meantime, thank you so very much for your work.

  33. Jonas Says:

    It would also be great if it could correct typos like eee.google.com or qqq.google.com. Are you feeling me?

  34. amphiton Says:

    I was looking for some sort of plug-in like this that would correct the typed URL from цццюпщщпдуюсщь to http://www.google.com – from ukrainian (any non-english) to english letters.

    Maybe you could also add this feature?

  35. REVERSE Says:

    There is a suggestion, can you make a layout auto selection? Just like this: i’m typing in russian on a page, when i click in to address bar, the layout will be fixed to english.

    Respect.

  38. Sentvid Says:

    Very Nice add-on. Good Job Christopher Finke. Adding an option for configuration will be good next step.

  39. chris Says:

    great idea! i was hoping someone had made something like this, just a request – all i really need is for it to change .ai to .au, as I never visit any .ai sites, and it really frustrates me. thanks.

  41. James Cridland Says:

    This looks an excellent extension. Some users might prefer http://www.opendns.com/ which does a similar job (turns craigslist.og into craigslist.org for example), plus spots phishing websites and can even speed up your net connection. Free, too: and works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and more. (No link with them other than a satisfied user).

  42. Roman Says:

    Christopher, excellent tool;
    I do have a request for Austria though; we use .gv.at instead of .gov.at, so for .at domains, the .gov->.gv rule should not apply…

    Keep up the work.

  43. Roman Says:

    sorry, typo; I meant to say the .gv ->.gov rule should not apply… of course.
    thanks

  44. sputnik Says:

    url fixer is very very useful to me. Thank you for creating it and I hope you will maintain it into the future.

    Fantastic – This should be built right into Firefox it’s so damn useful.

  45. Anders Says:

    This extension is very useful, however it should have been possible to configure it, because of the local variations in URLs. Is a configuration option possible to make, and may we see it in an update in the future?

    Keep up the good work.

  46. Marvin Says:

    Serious issue with .jp because I can’t go to urls like http://www.teatime.ne.jp because it changes it making it impossible for me to go to the site to http://www.teatime.net.jp REALLY BAD BAD issue.

  47. Sudhin Says:

    At my place of work, the admins have blocked URLs over instant messengers. So, if we have to send a uRL accross, we insert spaces, as in http ://www .google.com. It would be great if you could take care of removing all spaces from URLs. Now, it oonly removes the first space, and not the others.

  48. Niels Says:

    How about support for .kd > .dk

  49. Jim Says:

    Yeah, small trick but handy.

  50. marc Says:

    Great tip and program but does this work with the new Firefox?

  51. Sun Bingo Says:

    great program ive told all my friends about it

  52. Jim Says:

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure this works with the new firefox

  53. think bingo plus Says:

    i does jim it does

  54. Irvin Says:

    For me does not work. Why?

  55. Randy Says:

    Doesn’t work on Netscape Navigator 9 on OS X. (My other 25+ extensions work fine.) What it does… It disables return-in-urlbar; in other words, the only way to go to a website is to type the url and then physically click the “go” button to the right of the url field. Hope this helps. (I doubt many folks are using Netscape anymore, but I like it.)

  56. Christopher Finke Says:

    It doesn’t work in Navigator 9 because it is built into the browser. You should already be getting the same corrections in Navigator without installing the
    extension.

  57. Jim Says:

    No idea Irvin, it should work fine.

  58. butlimous Says:

    This extension is very useful, I love it!

  59. Jim Says:

    Agree’d butlimous. Very very nice extension

  60. Jonathon Mah Says:

    I’ve been loving this for several months now. But I just discovered that it incorrectly tries to fix the Git URL .

  61. lester Says:

    This is wonderful. Thank you.

  62. boo Says:

    hi:)
    well i like it but you should add another function :)
    add your own corrections thx

  63. Ringtails Says:

    Yeah, having an options screen where you can set your own would be nice.

    Is it possible to have .co -> .com

  64. Free PS3 Guru Says:

    Holy crow, this is an awesome tool! I’m a fast typist but also very sloppy and I HATE being redirected to the wrong place. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

  65. PS fan Says:

    Nice tool, thanks.

  66. Keno Says:

    thank you!r

    Thank you :)

  72. jen Says:

    Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for!

  73. Kajsa Says:

    As others have suggested, configurable fixes would be awesome. In the meantime, for those of us on Dvorak keyboards, .cow -> .com would be greatly appreciated :) [[w on dvorak is next to m; I hit it by mistake way too often :( ]]

    oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  75. Website Design Belfast Says:

    Great extension!

  76. Marvin Says:

    Ok I do find some issues with this plugin for example no matter what I do I am not able to browse sites like http://hatena.ne.jp because it makes ne.jp into net.jp.

    I would like to be able to see a method to add our own patterns to the plugin where we could manually add net.jp not to change or a key that we can push to make it bypass the check like maybe the ctrl key so we can still get to these urls without disabling urlfixer entirely.

  77. galabingo sharon Says:

    great tool thanks a million
    i apreciate it

  78. Den Says:

    Handy tool. Thanks!

  79. What is a URL? Says:

    This thing will only get people into the habit of being lazy, sloppy typers. Bad idea.

  80. mark Says:

    Should be built straight into Firefox 3 :)

  81. free ps3 Says:

    This is why the net works, because everyone gets to participate in making everything better. Right on man.

  82. Brandon Says:

    Love this tool been using it for a while now

  83. Dwayne Says:

    Agggggh! What’s with the semicolon being changed into a period?!?!?! Haven’t you ever heard of javascript injection?! You need following semicolons after commands. Please remove that function, or add an option so we can turn it off! Thank you!

  84. free ipod touch Says:

    Works great. Thanks a lot!

  85. Jose Says:

    Great tool :) I guess I’ll be seeing less “Error this page cannot be found” errors :)

  86. dan Says:

    very good read. i can see why it got so many diggs. this may be the post of the year (since it’s been popular all year long)

  87. Tommy Johnson Says:

    I downloaded firefox ,installed it but when I clicked on the icon a popup said that the URL was invalid cannot load. How can I fix it?

  88. Free PS3 Says:

    I love firefox.

  89. tom Says:

    i downloaded this last weekend, it works great. thanks for the recommendation.

  90. Ryan Says:

    One thing that would be nice to have implemented if a button that you could hold to disable the autofix. Like with http://www.wacom.com if i go to type in just “wacom” into firefox so that it finds the rest of the url itself it tries to fix the url to “wa.com”. Something like holding the control button when you hit the enter key to turn of the url fixer would be handy in this situation.

  91. Jmaes A. Calwell III Says:

    It’s great and all, but it would be nice if the user could define their own corrections (with regular expression support of course). I also would like to see corrections for “c.om” ? “.com” and others.

  92. get free ps3 Says:

    great plugin, thanks for sharing it with us.

  93. furrykef Says:

    As Marvin has said, it “corrects” .ne.jp domains to .net.jp, which causes it to fail. The same also happens with .or.jp, which gets “corrected” to .org.jp.

    To Marvin – you can right-click the address bar and change it to “confirm” mode. That way you can just click “No” (or type “N”) when you try to go to one of these sites and it won’t auto-correct the URL.

  94. MD Says:

    This seems like a great extension, will start using it immediately.

  95. Anderson de oliveira Says:

    muito bom!!!!

  96. rosa Says:

    you should make it learn from the list of sites visited how to alter the mistyped url that way nobody will get send to some random site becuase they mistyped somehting.

  97. free iphone Says:

    Firefox needs to implement this by default.

  98. Me Says:

    Looks interesting, may have to give it a whirl..

    yeah.. maybe it should have something like an on/off button when we want the spelling to be corrected?

  101. fallar Says:

    fal, taro, kahve fal?, ask fal?, y?ld?z fal?, fallar.

  102. trimel Says:

    And QuietUrl extension, too — would you care to contrast URL Fixer to this one, too? (at the top of this page)

  103. Hi Says:

    Can you turn all http into https?
    Dr J

  104. Jens Says:

    Great tool!! But can you let fix it multiple dots like in http://www.urlfixer..com

  105. Michael Says:

    Great tool. They should really put this standard download of firefox.

  106. fee ps3 Says:

    I hope they include it for firefox next update.

  113. gamermediadownload Says:

    Excellent tool..hopefully, I’ll be fewer “Error this page cannot be found” errors.

  114. Amyobus Key Says:

    I dislike “fixers” because quite often I am typing the correctc version of what I want, but the respondent robotic software decides that it is more brilliant than I am, and forces an answer on me that I do not want. If it suggests a better spelling, which I may then choose, then that is fine. I recall battling incessantly with Google once when it attempted to force me into accepting a International Google search engine rather than the U.S. engine, simply because I was performing my search from the nation in question, when in fact my questions related to my own websites which were U.S. based. I hate helpful tools because they consistently make false assumptions.

  115. Gene Says:

    I dont like fixers as well the assumptions is like when your texting with your cell phone and it trys to spell out the word and it fails repeatedly.

  116. http://www.burclarfal.com Says:

    Hey, I just found out of your plugin! Very nice, and will there come support for FF3?

    This is absolutely amazing. I’ve been waiting for something like this for years.

  123. Josh Says:

    Very handy! One small conflict: it makes the InfoLister “about:info” plug-in stop working as it attempts to correct the url to “about:.info.”

  124. Dude Says:

    Still the only extension of the kind that I find useful is URL Corrector (no longer updated) urlcorrector.mozdev.org
    Wish you could manage to implement its functionality in the URL Fixer
    Cheers!

  125. shiv179 Says:

    Great extension.

    However, if I type something like http://intranet (my Intranet at work),
    URL Fixer changes it to http://intra.net, which is incorrect (and doesn’t exist!).

    Please fix this!

    Thanks.

  126. Josh Says:

    Maybe an exclusion feature would fix these issues? Exclude about:info, http://intranet, etc.?

  127. Felipe Says:

    Please

    Please, could it correct “rb” in “br’?

    Thanks!

  128. Olivier Says:

    Great add-on but I would like to have a way to configurate it to change my mistakes.

  129. wasige wielhelm Says:

    url-fixer doesn’t add much functionality I can use and caused some teeth-grinding whilst testing it.

    + very idiot proof

    - url-fixing occured only in a few standard TLDs.
    - no configuration options (like adding a country TLD)
    - should have a learning/indexing function of mistypet URLs and corrected URLs instead of
    - redirection to the ‘fixed-url’ to (in most cases) an unappropriate third-party URL.

  130. AV Says:

    Great Add on – would be really useful if there was a properties file or alike where you can add you’re own “common mistakes” almost like auto correct in Word (sorry to mention an MS product!).

  131. Christian Segesdi Says:

    Hello Christopher!

    I’m asking if there is any possibility to manually add replacement patterns for the extension? Or if not, could you implement in a future extension the replacement of a trailing “-/” with a “/” ? Personally that is the only real, but very common mistyping I make when I forget that the keyboard layout is currently set to Hungarian.
    Thanks in advance for your trouble.

  132. Adam Payne Says:

    Great extension ! I’m in love with it ! Hopefully soon you can add a file to let users enter in their own mistakes. Would be a great upgrade

  133. ce4ko Says:

    update it with .bg! nh->bg vf->bg :)

  134. Yoshi2k Says:

    nice extension. But it would be nice to have an overview of all corrections. Maybe you can offer a dialog in the addons section.

    However, can you please add .d –> .de

    thanks!

  135. Nigel Says:

    Can this addon let you define some URL search/replaces? i.e. some websites like to prepend a blah.com/redirect.cgi? before a link, which gets very annoying.

    Ability to strip those out would be great and this is the closest addon I can find that’d let you do this potentially.

  136. NL Says:

    I want .ml to .nl. Can you do that please?

  137. David Says:

    Hello, good addon. In czech language is problem with qwertz(default czech) x qwerty (default english). Is it possible to add correction .cy -> .cz? Its very often mistake not only in my life :-) Thanx. David

  138. Nano Says:

    It doesn’t fix:
    .cm.br to .com.br
    .combr to .com.br
    .cmbr to .com.br

    and more… =/

    Is a brazilian domain!

    Anyways, good work!

  139. GG Says:

    Great software, but it miss the corrections when we forgot a letter like .cm to .com or .om to .com etc etc.

    It would be great if you add these corrections or a way to permit our own corrections

    Thanks
    Good Pluging

  140. Ben K Says:

    Wonderful extension.
    another vote for configurability-domains to exclude from correction or to accept as OK, etc.
    we have an intranet site with URL http://staffnet/ which gets corrected to staff.net.

  141. Ralf K R Says:

    Great extension, but another suggestion, useful for all German users: if type “.ed” it will be changed into “.edu”, because German URLs end on “.de”. It would be helpful to change “.ed” into “.de” either. Can you create a choice menu for such cases?

  142. Brandon Says:

    This is Great. I’ve been waiting for something like this for awhile.

  143. Chris Says:

    Hi!

    Great little extension, saves me every day!

    Ralf, a little tip, do a computer search for url-fixer.js, and you’ll find the code that does the replacements, if you comment out the lines with .edu. (put // at the start of the line) and add the following line:
    {find : “\\.(ed)$”, replace : “.de”},
    You should be fine.

    The same goes for com.br
    {find : “\\.(cmbr|combr|cm.br)$”, replace : “.com.br”},

  144. Ilkin Says:

    Hello,

    Thanks for great tool. But can you please add feature to make exclusions. For example it is trying to cahnge http://ourintranet.corp to http://ourintranet.coop EVERYTIME which is kind of anoying.

    Regards, Ilkin

    Hello, I would like to request the TLD’s .co.za please :)

    Quite a pain getting those wrong as well!

  162. dasadler Says:

    My biggest error is when I type www,somewebsite,com I always seem to hit commas instead of periods… any browser should automatically detect and chage that… alas, they do not.

  163. D9 Says:

    Requesting:
    “.kd” -> “.dk”

  164. Virgin Bingo Says:

    Thanks! Just what I was looking for. Please keep the updates coming!

  165. Lennardt Says:

    All german users cant use your extension, because german TLD is .de and if the user makes the error to type .ed the extension ask if you mean .edu .
    It would be usefull if you correct this. Or you make it possible to edit an own mistake-list. Something like “ed -> de” and “con -> com”.

  166. Jasper Says:

    Feature request: translate qqq. by www.

    With a QWERTY keyboard sometimes I enter three times Q in stead of W for a website.

  167. Josh Says:

    I’m impressed with URL Fixer, except I’ve noticed that it “corrects” intranet to intra.net when followed by a slash. Could this be added as an exception?

    ~~~~~~

    I would *love* this feature, in fact I’ve just spent 30 minutes playing with my firefox config and turning off everything I can find that might make the default FF3 install correct that… and it wont turn off :(

  169. ExistenceGuest Says:

  178. Paulo Roberto Says:

    Firefox i did not like, the explorer is still the best browser.

  179. Simon Says:

    Can we get a .co.uk check please?

  183. antekly Says:

    Not sure if it is really my web browser considering I still have absolutely no free time to upgrading and i am still utilizing InternetExplorer 7 but while viewing the web page I’ve found some kind of weird letters all around the site . such as Caution: Cannot change head string … and so on. Its a bit abnormal mainly because for me web sites as for example yahoo.com and google.com and also my own one carhire perform ok for me.

  184. E Marketing Says:

  188. matej Says:

    editable (and public) list of ‘translations’ would be nice to have. so that any user can insert his translation.. for exemple i would like to alias url’s…

    it could change http://www.google.cmo to http://www.google.com but also, i would like to convert any ‘www.domain.com/something?asdgj=sadasgg11&dj=r’ to ‘safe.domain.com/something?asdgj=sadasgg11&dj=r’

    or maybe … ‘mysite’ to ‘http://blahblah.com

  189. SteeloFed Says:

    delete plz!

  190. james covert Says:

    This has been so useful for weeding out bleeding urls that are damaged by bots on a level of SEO, such a great programme.

  191. don tata Says:

  192. bingo sites Says:

  199. Ben Starr Says:

    Thanks for informative post, but I think this extension won’t be as useful as it is now in the future. Probably all that will be automatically corrected pretty soon even without asking a user. We’ll see.

  200. Free iPod Codes Says:

    Thanks for the url fixer, it worked as soon as I tried it.

  212. Erunno Says:

    I often read some previously opened web pages while commuting (and therefore being cut off from the Internet). When encountering potentially interesting links I open them in backgroud tabs for later reading when regaining my Internet connection. URL fixer makes suggestion for perfectly valid URLs when opened in offline mode which I consider a minor bug. Would it be possible for the extension whether Firefox is in offline mode and suppress correction suggestions if this is the case? Thanks.

  213. Lord Says:

    I liked the less talk, do more title…

  214. bingostreet Says:

    Useful stuff, it will be interesting to see if the latest version of firefox can do something like this automatically..

  215. Lord Says:

    I liked the “did you mean” window which asks for confirmation.
    Not like the iPhone auto correct.

    Hi just wanted to give you a little heads up and let you know a few of the images are not loading properly. I’m not really sure why but I think it maybe a image link issue. I have viewed it in four different internet browsers and both display the same outcome.

  221. Alain DENIS Says:

    … i wrote those two rules to see my youtube in browser max window and in max HD Quality :

    re:(.*)(/watch\?v=)(.*)(\&)(.*) -> $1/watch_popup?v=$3&autoplay=1&showsearch=0&rel=0&vq=hd1080
    re:(.*)(/watch\?v=)(.*)([^\&]) -> $1/watch_popup?v=$3$4&autoplay=1&showsearch=0&rel=0&vq=hd1080

    one for Url with ‘&’ prameters, one for without.

    Maybe our friend can add a button in the Url Bar to trigger Url_Fixer…
    as they did in urlbarext-1.8.1-fx.xpi..
    ;)

  222. Alain DENIS Says:

    i add this one for when the v= parameter is further :
    re:(.*)watch\?[^(v=)](.*)([\&v=])(.*) -> $1watch_popup?v=$4&autoplay=1&showsearch=0&rel=0&vq=hd1080
