Google (or other search engine selected for the Location/URL bar) tries to resolve what you enter to one, unique web address. Google can not resolve "University of Irvine" to a single web address, as there are many. The same is true of entering "yahoo" in the Location/URL bar. *You can get to www.uci.edu by typing uci.edu in the Location/URL bar; much less typing than "University of Irvine". *You could create a Bookmark for that site or create a Bookmark on your Bookmark Toolbar for that site **See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks#w_how-do-i-create-a-bookmark How do I create a Bookmark] **Other Bookmark info and links: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks How do I use Bookmarks?] '''If this reply solves your problem, please click "Solved It" next to this reply when <u>signed-in</u> to the forum.''' ------------------------- Not related to your question, but...
