Windows 8 Hal/Chrome issue
« on: August 03, 2015, 01:49:25 pm »
Just ran into a small problem. I use several plugins that allow Hal to open chrome, FB, Youtube, Gmail ETC. However, whenever used on windows 8, I get a bizarre secondary tab that opens directing to http://0.0.0.1.
The other tab is the correct tab for the location. It happens every single time Hal open chrome. Opened alone, Chrome does not do this. It's very strange and I am at a complete loss. There is no script directing it to that location and on windows 7 the problem is non-existent. It really is a mystery. For example, I use the GoogleSearch plugin. Whenever information is opened via Hal with chrome, the second tab appears with a *Can not connect to network* error. The second tab though, has the requested Google search.

Has anyone heard of this? Does http://0.0.0.1 mean anything to anyone or any idea why Hal would go there?

It's just a minor issue, but very annoying as I use that plug in often.

Thanks,
