Url Fixer Extension for Firefox

I’m a fast typer and it occasionally happens that I make errors when entering urls. I always hate it when I have to edit the url because i typed ghacks.nez instead of ghacks.net for instance. I’m lazy and always looking for ways to keep being lazy. Url Fixer is one of those nice little extensions for Firefox that helps me a lot when I’m using Firefox.

Url Fixer is auto correcting urls that have obvious errors like a unknown extension (.cor instead of .com) but also takes a look at http and https and fixes those if an error occured. It does not however work with links that you click on websites which would be really awesome to say the least.

Url Fixer will also correct country code extensions such as .de for Germany or .co.uk for the United Kingdom. Definitely a must have add-on for Firefox.
