A Day Late

Here’s a handy firefox tip that enables handling urls with line breaks in them. This is particularly useful for those of us still using Outlook, which seems to improperly wrap URL’s quite often.

Here’s another Mozilla/Firefox tip: if you copy a URL wrapped over multiple lines from somewhere and try to paste it into the address bar, you will end up only with the first line of it. To fix it, go to about:config and change editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines setting to 3 or add:

user_pref(”editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines”, 3);

to your user.js file. Now all the line breaks will be removed upon pasting.
