Address bar does not automatically go to the pages

I love Firefox 4, but a very important feature that I liked what was still in Firefox was not found in 4.0 but it was 3.

Firefox would automatically redirect me to pages that would often appear first in Google when I typed in the address bar. For example, if I typed blog ps it would be b = me on the PlayStation blog, if I typed in gmail, it would bring right to Gmail, ect. But not there looking for just what I'm typing. When I type gmail it will bring up a search on google for gmail.

I tried to see if changing some options in all: config but nothing worked so I reset that I changed.

Help, please! I'm debating back to v. 3.6.16.

The change between Firefox 3.6. * and Firefox 4 is how the location bar search. In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it performs just a search on Google, if you type in something that is not recognized as a URL.

To get the behavior of Firefox 3.6 on Firefox 4, you must change a hidden preference.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing traverse it by extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

  • Firefox address bar does not work

    I recently updated my software Kaspersky of Kaspersky Internet Security Kaspersky Total security, 2015 at around the time that Firefox automatically updated from version 35 to 36. I don't know if the update of Kaspersky has nothing to do with the problem, but now the Firefox address bar does not work. I've 'come down' Firefox to version 35, but it still does not work.

    You can add a URL in a window of the Firefox window (Firefox or Google) search engine, and that works, like clicking on the hyperlinks that appear. But the address bar is totally dead! The address in my browser Google toolbar also works OK

    I hope that someone familiar with the operation of Firefox knows how to solve this frustrating problem as I prefer Firefox Google.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Mozilla firefox 36 address bar does not

    I've recently updated Firefox to 36 because of an error running on an earlier version. I am running Win XP with SP3 and also using Norton 360. After the update the address bar does not work, either by using the Enter key, or menu drop down recent sites and selecting a.
    My Favorites function as it should and I can go to any site that I have here. My Google home page works as it should and it will take me to any site on my homepage.
    I tried to use the method of Mozilla Firefox 'safe start' with no difference. I also upgraded my Norton 360 with the latest changes and it is to this day. I have "authorized" Mozilla Firefox to the Norton firewall configuration, but none of these things have had an impact on the problem.
    I have read and tried everything I could find on the subject "problems bar" but nothing works.
    I like Firefox, but it becomes quite annoying and I don't want to go back to IE 8.
    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in compatibility mode.

    You can open the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut via the context menu and check under the tab "compatibility".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Address bar does not open current tab URL COMPLETE

    The address bar does not show the current tabs URL COMPLETE. I tried the Trim URL thing nothing helped. It is also one that there is no option to COPY the LINK in the file menu. I need to be able to view the full URL and be able to copy for a variety of reasons. Would also be nice to make sure that I am on a HTTPS page and don't have to guess.
    Take a look at this site and see that no matter what you go to the page, the URL remains the same.

    Really want to know the reason that FF out of the combination, what is the problem or the issue or was it just someone's idea of a nice piece of code?

    If you are on a secure connection HTTPS, then you will always see the https: Protocol. Only the http: Protocol is hidden.

    If a page uses frames and other pages are open in a frame, then you will not see this picture link in the address bar.

    You can right click on a web page to see if images are used (this frame > view frame info)

    If your settings for brightness and contrast are wrong then you will see only the field highlighted.

    You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled false on the topic: config page to turn off the development of the field and to better discern the full URL.

  • Address bar does not not in Safari

    My address bar does not work properly in safari, I can't click on it and enter the address manually, which is quite annoying. I deleted the plist of safari in the library but still no luck. Found a temporary solution to http://osxdaily.com/2016/01/05/fix-safari-freezing-address-bar-use/ that is to disable the functions of smart search which solved my problem, but is there a way that can solve the problem without disabling these features? I use a MBPR 2012 with El Capitan and never had this problem before.

    Has't Apple has yet published an official commentary or difficulty with this problem, so for now the only solution is that you mentioned in your message.

  • What happened to the button on the address bar which allow you to see the pages you had been so that you don't have to click the back button several times? I use it all the time and it is not on FF4.

    What happened to the button on the left end of the address bar which allow you to see the pages you had been so that you don't have to click the back button several times? You can look at the drop down window of pages and just choose whatever you want. I use it all the time and it is not on FF4. I want to go back to the old FF.

    If you right click on your back button, or click and hold down the mouse button, it will display the list. (I prefer a click-right, because sometimes my fingers slide when I try to click and hold)

  • Hi, my navigation bar does not work and only the white pages are displayed

    Hi, my navigation bar does not work and that white pages are displayed - I watched the debate and made sure that each page is checked on "Export Page"; I checked that all pages are included with hyperlink. I deleted everything and started a new navigation bar; I have created a new site and started from scratch... nothing seems to work!

    It does not appear in the preview IE. I created 4 pages and when you perform a navigation bar, the title of the pages appears but when I saw and click one of the links, I get a full blank page with no navigation bar. What I am doing wrong? He worked for a time perfectly, but no more.

    Also, is it possible to manually check the links to see where I am redirected to?

    Thanks for sharing the file with me. Everything looks fine when I checked your file on my machine.

    Clear the browser cookies could solve the problem as default browser preview Muse use to render the pages.

    Kind regards

  • The address bar does not appear the URL of the page

    When I open a tab, I don't see the URL of the page that is open in it. If I enter a new address and press ENTER, I go to the page. The URL displays the entered URL, but does not change for new pages that load.

    In addition, previous/next buttons do not work. I'm guessing that it is related to the issue of address bar.

  • How can I get the address bar does not redirect me?

    Since the recent update for Firefox 36.0.1, a URL typed on the address bar is now taking me to a website where I can buy this unused domain name (buydomains.com). This is not where I want to go. I have no intention to buy a domain name; I don't particularly appreciate receive advertising in response to my fault for typing. What I would like is a good, not old Error 404 to tell me that I looked for something that didn't exist. How can I prevent the address bar to send me off, in the arms of the advertiser, but get just a 404 instead of this message?

    Hello

    I have to fully understand and appreciate the magnificence of a 404 error. He immediately told you what you wanted to know - that the site is not found!

    What you see is where the registration and ownership of the site was passed to the registry which is owner of the domain. The site is located, it is just acting as an announcement of the person who is the owner of the URL so that they can sell or resell.

    The address bar works as it should - it displays the URL as requested - it's just not the preferred outcome. One way you can get around this is use a parental control addon and include the name of the registry in the watchlist (or edit list so that it is the only entrance). She stops at the page to display. (Link) is an example of the kind of addon, that you could use.

  • Auto-completion in the address bar does not work well

    Usually, I always opened in the browser 2 tabs: gmail and hotmail. When I open a tab mew and I start typing in one'm ' to connect to facebook and open my page the mouse the automatic completion feature removes follow her ' I have typed and replaces it with the "switch to tab" Gmail, placing them directly in the address bar "https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox'."
    So follow her ' I typed becomes magically an 'h', followed by the rest of the address.
    I suggest to improve the auto-completion: if I type one me ' auto complete it with an address that begins with the'm 'or with the part of an address that begins with what am '.
    A great idea (in my opinion) can show "https://" in an area between the one with the ' switch to tab:' text, display, in the rest of the address bar, am 'I typed followed by the right side of the address provided, in this case it would be'ail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox'. In this way, when I type the 'o' of the mouse, you can change the "prediction" and fill it in this way: ' mohttp://apps.facebook.com/. usehunt', where the square brackets identifies the box and the vertical bar (|) identifies the beginning of auto-completion.

  • address bar does not display icons associated with the websites you have visited - when you click the menu drop-down

    The address bar of firefox has a drop-down menu that shows some of the previous websites visited. In versions of Firefox I have used in the past, these menu entries give the address of the web site, a text describing in more on the site and also a small official icon in the left column. I just installed Fedora 19 and the version of Firefox is included with it. Then I upgraded to firefox - 29.0.1 - 1.fc19.x86_64. Now the address bar pull down menu only gives the address of the web site and also the text describing in more on the site (such as an official title). But instead of the icons I see small places with dotted lines.
    How can I get this version of firefox to display these icons. I noticed that the bar at the top of the page shows search engine these this type of icon for that available such as google, yahoo, bing etc.

    I checked these preferences on the about: config page and they have already been put to true. The problem seems to be elsewhere.

  • When you surf, the URL does not change to reflect the page I'm. Also, if I have two consecutive sites, he is stuck with the first favicon and don't change either.

    Let's say I'm surfing a Web site. Any Web site. I type domain.com and start riding on the inside pages. "Domain.com" in the URL bar does not change.

    Also, if I visit two sites in a row and both have some favicons, I'll be stuck with the favorite of the first icon.

  • automatic search in the address bar does not work

    I used to be able to type a word in the address bar (or rental) and I would like to get done for the best site that google might think. If I typed 'dogs' in there and press ENTER, I would go to the dog of wikipedia page. If I type "hotmail", I'll get sent to hotmail.com. This happens either. Now I just get the google search results for the keyword that I entered. I tried to go to about: config and ensuring that the keyword.url is default and I tried different things with the browser.fixup stuff, but nothing works. All this happened when I updated firefox too, so I think that's the problem. What can I do to fix and recover?

    You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.
