Hmmmm... Matthew. I did exactly as you describe above and everything
works fine. www.topgear.com displays **perfectly** in Konqui (3.4.0). And if I copy the URL from Konqui it pastes into Firefox and then Firefox (1.5.0.2) shows the website.
Everything works exactly as one would expect.

I've always had this problem, some sites work in Konq and don't in FF and vice versa which is why I use both.
The copy n paste method is as described as other users on here. Just doesn't work. I'll try a re-install but it had this problem out of the box going back to Suse 9 (ran Windows on desktop before then) and I've had fresh installs up to 10 and have installed latest KDE revisions as they've come out.

Very odd. While I have never been to a website that failed to display in Konqui but did display in Firefox (or visa-versa), at times I have noticed that certain sites display differently in Konqui and Firefox (or display badly in one but not the other). For example, up until about a month ago my own website graphics had all sorts of display problems in Konqui, but looked fine in Firefox. Turns out that my previous Webmaster (who knows only Windoze and used the always-problematic Front Page) had coded the site in a manner that was not compliant with modern standards, and which caused display problems in some browsers. Carl Hartung figured out the problem and he recently recoded my site, and now the graphics display correctly in all browsers. :o) So I can see where the way a site is coded could have an effect (perhaps a profound effect) on how it's displayed in Konqui vs Firefox. But your problem doing something as simple as a cut-and-paste of an URL between browsers isn't (??) a website coding issue, especially when you've heard from several other SuSE users none of whom have the same problem you've described. Since Konqui seems to be the starting point of your problem maybe you could uninstall and then reinstall Konqui. Don't make any configuration changes to the reinstalled Konqui -- just try it with all defaults, and at least for the moment accept all cookies just so as not to insert any potential complications. www. topgear.com should display perfectly. If after a default reinstall you still can't cut-and-paste an URL from Konqui to Firefox (using either "edit-copy" and "edit-paste" or "ctrl-c" and "ctrl-v") then something truly bizarre is going on. Let us know. Thx. Gil
