Why Safari is automatically an "s" after "http"?

Safari seems to automatically insert an "s" after "http", which in fact a search for a site secured, when all I want is the precarious site "http." For many sites, I have to manually delete the s in the url. It's infuriating - and probably a setting I don't know everything, but I'm about to go to Chrome or Firefox!

One, do not download Chrome.  Google privacy issues shaded, not to mention, it's a massive RAM hog.  It consumes too many resources of your computer.  If you absolutely hate Safari, go with Firefox.  That being said, there is nothing wrong with a Web site with 'https' in the face instead of "http".  A secure connection is preferable to an unsecured connection.  I mean, you're on this site, are you not?  You should notice the padlock and the fact that "Apple Inc." with the padlock are both green.  This means that your connection to the site is encrypted.  Banks, most online retailers, as well as Twitter all use secure connections.

  • Why attached used pps files opened after the latest Automatic update of the ie8?

    Attn: Microsoft Brainiacs; IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
    attached pps files won't open if clicked in outlook express/ie8 after automatic update more recent.
    When I try to open files pps attached, this is what I get.
    a box with a red x will appear and this is the message;
    "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.
    Create an association in the FOLDER OPTIONS Control Panel."
     
    Before the automatic update, this function worked fine.
    Also, the association for pps files is still there in the Folder Options Control Panel.
    and more if I save the pps file attached somewhere / anywhere and then click on it, it opens fine.
    .. This failure to launch opening pps files attached, that happened after the latest Automatic update,
    .. just one more why people hate automatic updates or updates of any kind.
    like the previous functions of work suddenly and inexplicapbly no longer work after the update took place!
    So what's the cure for this annoying problem?

  • How to enable automatic session restore after a crash

    I'm trying to enable automatic session restore after a crash. I put browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to true, but it is false. Is there is a dependency on another parameter that is the cause of return? Or other means to enable automatic crash recovery?

    The option 'When Firefox starts' is set to ' show my windows and tabs from last time '. I'm not under any session management extensions.

    All browser.sessionstore settings have default values except these:
    Browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo: 500
    Browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo: 100
    Browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs: true
    Browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash: false

    Thank you!

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    If you don't keep changes after a reboot then see:

    Hi everyone, it has been so long that I tried to solve my problem on Safari.

    Let me explain what happens: when I wake my Mac, some site not loading, including Youtube, Facebook and Google until I

    -Close the Safari window and open a new

    -Wait at least a minute or two

    -Spam the shortcut for refresh up to what a "page not found" error.

    I tried all explained in this or other forums and do these things:

    -Reinstall the operating system (but keeping my data)

    -Restore with a Time Capsule

    -Open the terminal and type these commands:

    -Fixed permissions and owner

    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR... - exec chflags h nouchg, nouappnd, noschg, nosappnd {} - exec chown () $UID h - exec chmod + rw {} + - exec chmod () n h ++ - type d - exec chmod h + x {} + 2 > & -.

    -Uninstall all extensions safari

    -Unplug my micro sd card and reboot (which is constantly plugged into my mac)

    I am so angry with my computer because I paid 1.5 k for a computer that is not able to make the task easier for a modern computer. Even a €50 computer has embedded software that can handle a resume from sleep without having to restart the entire software... Imagine if you had to do it on your iPhone, you will eventually get a refund within a week or less because it is not normal in 2015 to have this kind of problem. I hope that I have no problem with safari on my 6s and I don't plan to spend my browser because Safari is part of the Apple ecosystem and have the perfect sync and battery management.

    So I need to get this fixed a problem and I really need your help because a lot of people had this problem on the internet, but NEVER seen someone who explained how it happened is the correction of a problem. My Mac running the latest version of the software which is 11.2 starting today.

    Here is a video of the problem:

    I have Safari 9.1, El Capitan. The changes I make in the Safari preferences are not saved after that I close the program. There is no such thing as a Library/Preferences/Safari. What should do?

    I think you're looking in the root folder not your home folder.   Tilde ~ in front of the first slash indicates the folder.

    Try this...

    Quit Safari.

    Open a Finder window. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    ~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Safari.plist

    Click OK, and then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.

    Restart Safari to test.

  • Printer Hp 6520 automatically shuts down after a few hours

    Original title - printer hp 6520 problem

    My new photosmart 6520 automatically shuts down after a few hours, it disconnects from my Win7 machine without using the material removal tool, if I get a nice loud bang when it does.  It is connected through the usb port on my Pavilion.  I don't mind to go to sleep, but I don't want to disconnect completely, because when I send a new print job, he didn't wake up automatically and print, I don't have to feed it manually upwards then it prints very well.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    I could join HP support on this issue this morning.  There were two things - first HP printers now have a built-in surge protector so you should not connect it to an another surge protector.  Second, the default printer is delivered with activated automatic stop, turning off will do sleep, but not to turn it off, so that it accepts print jobs whenever one is sent.  So, if that helps anyone, good!  And thanks also for your help.  :^) gene
