Uppity doesn't show paths from URLs with 'double slash'

Installation

Install from addons.mozilla.org

Documentation

The point of Uppity is to "go up" on the web. It relies primarily on the fact that URLs are arranged in a way similar to a file system, with other well defined pieces. A URL can look something like this:

http://www.example.com/path/to/file.txt?query=value#anchor

If you were on a page with that URL, Uppity would descend to these URLs, one by one, in this order:

• http://www.example.com/path/to/file.txt?query=value
• http://www.example.com/path/to/file.txt
• http://www.example.com/path/to/
• http://www.example.com/path/
• http://www.example.com/
• http://example.com/

Clicking either the button on the toolbar or status bar will move from one page to the next in that list. The keyboard shortcut ALT-Up will also navigate this way. Clicking the drop-down arrow next to the toolbar button will present that entire list, from where you can navigate directly to any of those options. The ALT-Down key will also open this list.

Both of these buttons are disabled by default. (Don't you hate when an extension thinks it's important enough to own your browser? I do.) So, pick which one you'd like to use and turn it on yourself. The statusbar button is controlled by the extension options. The toolbar button is controlled like any other toolbar button. Right click on your toolbar, choose Customize, and then just drag-and-drop the Uppity button to where you like it.
