Yes, that's what I'm describing. Here are my steps to repro:
1) Search something on google.com (for example: unc)
2) Mouseover on a link shows actual address (for instance, http://www.unc.edu http://www.unc.edu); clicking on the link goes directly to page.
3) Right click, copy link location. Paste that link:
- Expected result: http://www.unc.edu http://www.unc.edu
- My example result: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CA4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unc.edu.. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&.... (clipped for brevity)
4) Mouseover on same link or click on it.
- Expected result: http://www.unc.edu http://www.unc.edu (as before)
- My result: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CA4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unc.edu.. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&.... (etc)
If it helps, I'm running FF 3.5.6 on Win7; I can try on Linux and OSX later tonight if that would be useful.
p.s. -- add some contact info to your profile; I'd prefer to email directly rather than pollute this thread with bug reports.
- srram 17y agoI have added my email address to my profile. Let's take it offline. I have tried to reproduce what you are saying (firefox 3.5.6 on Win 7) and failed. I do not see how what you are saying is possible. If you are going to the actual URL directly, a right click has to result in the same link being copied. That is the behavior I am seeing.
- shaddi 17y agoI'm full of fail today -- not seeing your email in your profile (n.b., email field is not public; it must be in your "about" section). Shoot me an email and we'll see if we can figure this out... I don't know why it's happening, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing.
- breck 17y agogoogle doesn't always do this, just sometimes. it's not a browser issue. it could only be if you're logged in to your google account. that's why you're having trouble reproducing it.
