You’ll note that the URL (website address) is short. But it really isn’t. All you have to do is click on it to see that’s there’s more there:

It seems that Apple decided that reducing the length of the URL was a feature that people wanted. I for one don’t want that and I am willing to bet that you do not either. The question is how do you fix it. Here’s how:

2. Go to Preferences
3. Click on Advanced and put a checkmark in the check box where I’ve put a red rectangle.
