• Use Firefox 4, the URL bar displays most web address to my current web site so I can't copy and paste links. In addition, there is no refresh button.

  I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really like it, but I want to give him a chance again. However, the URL address bar displays more current address for that I surfed on websites. It is therefore sharing pages or emailing links almost impossible. In addition to this, there is no icon refresh I can find so I'm stuck just hit F5 to refresh my page.

  Short of downgrading, is anyway I can change these specific issues?

  This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

• How can I stop Firefox giving search suggestions in the address bar?

  From the last update, if I start typing something in the address bar, I get random search suggestions as if I was using the search instead. How can I disable this? It is kind of annoying, and it really bothers me. I read in another article that I went to about: config and checked "I'll be careful", it would stop, but I'm worried it may screw up my browser. Is there another way to solve this problem? Or do I just move a superior browser?

  No it won't cause other problems as long as you do not change other preferences.

• When you look in the Explorer, there are hidden folders, but when you type the location in the address bar, see the files/folders

  Personally, I am frustrated to discover file that are currently hidden by vista.

  For example my temporary Internet folder located in my Temp folder

  If I open Explorer and browser to the Temp folder is empty - no doubt.   It doesn't even have a drop down menu arrow to indicate that the Temp folder has all the data inside.

  But if I type in the Address bar D:\Temp\Temporary Internet folder, it will appear with all internet data inside the it - except for the index.dat file.  The index.dat file does not appear, even if I have a cleaning program story who insists he's here...

  Subsequently, if I close the browser and reopen it in the Temp directory the temporary Internet folder is still invisiable.

  I checked and rechecked all over the place and the cant "find any feature that dictates why this file is hidden and not accessible to me.

  If anyone has any ideas about this phenomenon?

  What worries me the most is that I (as most people can have too) have hundreds, maybe thousands of records.   Now, I wonder what are those who also hid Vista.

• FF 37 - I've removed my address bar, can't get it back

  I upgraded to 38 FF, and it has some features that I didn't like the Pocket - click right on it and deleted the icon from the toolbar. Well, went to a site, and something came for a "Reader", tried that a blank page. I went to remove it too - right click and delete any missing address bar. When I try to open the Customize menu, it opens a new tab with a blank page. I went down to 37 FF, to see if that would fix it, but no luck. Now I have only a wide search window, and the icons for may Add ons in this toolbar. Here is a picture with the Customize tab empty. I searched around a solution but could not find anyone else as stupid. I could reset the FF to the default values, but I have a ton of plugins, the changes in the topic: config file, I can't even remember.

  Thank you!

  WOOHOO!

  Restarted mode without failure. Curiously, the address bar was there, but to the right of the search bar. Open customize and reset default. Rebooted normally and everything is where it should be. Now I can try 38 FF...

  THANK you, jscher200!

• Why is the address bar covered or hidden?

  My address bar displays only solid color bars; I do not see a URL I type it. If G = Green, Y = B = black, and gray now, it looks like this: GAËLLE GIROT YYYYYYYYY BATH YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I wish I could erase the old URL and start typing a new one with minimum keystrokes, but cannot figure out how.

  I have a second question, while we are there. My Adobe Flash only is not good enough for Firefox, until I have "let him" once the prompt appears. I can't understand how (tried and failed several times) to acquire or download an update of Adobe Flash version that meets Firefox. How is that done?

  The colors reflect the actual characters being replaced by solid rectangles, so for regular sites, the text is gray except for the area, who is black, and green is used for the name of the company that operates sites that have a certificate Extended Validation SSL. As to WHY, it's a bug with Ubuntu on some systems. If you follow the link to the message of the source, there is a link to the bug.

• desertdave760 why doesn't the URL frequently disappears from the address bar?

  Thus, for example, here, this page is not the address in the address bar. If I wanted to send the site to someone, I have to go to IE (God forbid) and retype the url there.

  This happens for many but not all sites, I'm sure. He says now, search or enter the address

  It's strange. "Search or enter the address" appears if you delete the current address, but if you click in the address bar and press the ESC key it should display immediately again (Esc cancels the change).

  This text appears also with a few built-in Firefox pages, like the homepage and the new tab page. But for the 'real' web pages, you should see the address.

  In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

  Also, maybe it's not relevant to you, but sometimes users have a bookmark that opens a page in the sidebar to the left in the main part of the tab instead of. The address bar displays only the address of the main part of the tab. If your Firefox seems to have a split screen (left-right), that might be the problem.

• I wish increast the font size in the address bar, cession bar and tab headings do not see how

  I would like to increase the font size or make the "BOLD" font, so I can read them better for the address bar in particular, but also for the entries tab, the menu bar and the bookmarks bar. Is this possible?

  Thank you

  I don't think that there is still a setting for this in Firefox. You can, however, install the addon address bar font size bigger your version of Firefox to adjust the size of the font of the address bar.

  Let us know if it works for you.

• Can not enter in the address bar.

  Since I usually use bookmarks or pinned tabs, it's perhaps a week or more as the last, I tried to do, but when I tried today the area of the address bar is there, but completely empty and the edge of the box seems to be missing to the left and down. The mouse arrow does not a cursor change when hovered over the box and I can't enter type.
