URL changed in firefox?

marketing Jul 09, 2012 09:45AM EDT

I have added addthis to two of our company websites. Since adding it however, in firefox the url is different in the address bar- in I.E it is http://www.boardpacks.com/Pages/default.aspx, but in firefox it looks like this: http://www.boardpacks.com/Pages/default.aspx#.T_rgPPWBoUM.

This is concerning to my manager and I wondered if you could explain why this is.

Thanks

The extra text at the end of the URL is part of our Address Bar Sharing feature that helps track when your users copy and paste URL in things like emails and IMs. This can be disabled by changing:

data_track_addressbar: true

to

data_track_addressbar: false

For a full explanation of the feature, check this out:

And if you still have questions, let me know.
