When I type in the address bar the top-level URL, such as oceanviewlofts.net it insists on going to a previously visited sub-URL, such as oceanviewlofts.net/cftp . This is driving me crazy and totally thwarting what I'm trying to do. Clearing recent history does not help. Boooo. Firefox is useless to me in the work I'm trying to do
