www does NOT prefix all web addresses

1 replies · 1,758 views · Started 16 September 2009

In the bookmarks page of the N97 browser 'http://www.' is always there when I start to type
an address. The 'http://www.' does not appear until I start typing, so m.facebook.com begins
as 'http://www.m', then I delete the five unwanted characters before starting again.

I can save one keypress by clicking the 'Go to web address' button instead of just starting to
type, but the 'http://www.' prefix is still there.

Is there a way to remove the 'www.' prefix when starting to enter an address?

I also find this of annoyance also but I have developed a habit of typing any letter to bring the url box up, swiping the url box with my finger all the way to the left, including the http:// to highlight all of the text then i type my url into the empty box without the http or www

Would be good if there was an option to remove the auto fill.
