Confirming.

Suspect this may be because the author did not include http:// 

Interestingly, on the extension page - https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=1577 - the homepage link points at the correct url. 

Need to work our what the difference is in how this code is generated.

Author's profile updated.

Shouldn't we patch something so that it automatically includes the http:// and this doesn't happen in future? or so that the authorprofiles.php page generates the web address in the same way that moreinfo.php does?
