Address bar has unwanted keywords "search for" appearing

For no apparent reason my address bar now unwanted shows in terms of 'finding '. As I type these words will appear with an icon of a magnifying glass located next to them.

I want to stop and I can not find a solution. When I type in the address bar I want to ONLY places I've already been to appear as options.

Hello, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, then one of your installed extensions intrudes here...

  • My address bar has changed color in itself

    I use the default theme in Mozilla and today the address bar has changed color from clear blue to windows blue, and the arrows and the "home" button are white instead of black. Since I haven't done anything intentionally and don't want it to appear like that, how can I reverse it? Curiously, the address bar when 'Help' is opened seems the usual way.

    Hi Jscher,

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my question. I managed to me after a little sorting (Finally, a little) tweaking autour. It seems that I unchecked the "always show the bar of tabs" under Options/tabs and made the section of bar any transparent address as the windows and buttons next to him white instead of black. After I checked it again, everything is back to normal.

  • The address bar has disappeared from the top of a tab object that I opened. How can I get it back?

    The address bar has disappeared from the top of any tab, I opened, so there is nowhere to enter a web address. Could I have accidentally made it happen? How can I get that back?

    Just to be clear, it is not on the tab bar is? (It's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5).

    To show or hide the toolbars, you can use the old view menu.

    If you have the orange Firefox button, press the Alt key to temporarily show the classic menu bar.

    Menu view > toolbars > check the Navigation bar

    If you view the navigation toolbar, but it is incomplete or damaged, you can reset your toolbars.

    Menu view > toolbars > customize

    In the great dialog box with the icons, to the bottom, click on restore by default.

  • How can I enter a Web site in the address bar without triggering the search via Google, etc. ? Awesome Bar is ideal for the recovery of previously visited sites - but please let me go directly to the site in that I type.

    When you tap on the address bar, the impressive Bar starts. The "reload" icon"becomes a"Magnifying glass"icon You have to search for. If you select this option to search using Google you could get a result you can select. All very indirect. There must be an easy way to type a right address in and go to this website - without the intermediary of research. For example, I often type in websites secure that is not yet indexed by Google. So not useful results - and now how to directly access sites secure.

    To directly access an address without the search, type the address, and press 'Enter' or 'Go' on your keyboard. (This depends on what phone or the keyboard you use, but in general it is the button at the bottom right of the keyboard).

  • Why my address bar has a series of icons (rather than the url) when I click on certain sites?

    When I visit certain websites, instead of the URL for the site appearing in my address bar, I get this long string of weird looking for icons that extend all the way through to the address bar in the search bar. I have never seen this before until a few months ago. When I click the icon on the far left inside the address bar I get this message: "this website does not provide identity information.

    Is it possible to get rid of these icons and have the site URL appears in the place?

    Hello

    The leftmost button is the Site identity button. For more information about this, please see:

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the other icons disappear. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If these icons are still there on your address in safe mode bar, please provide us with a screenshot. If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How to make a screenshot of my problem?

    Once you have done so, attach the file to screen shot saved to your post on the forum by clicking on the button Browse... under the box to post your reply . This will help us to visualize the problem.

  • Cannot submit the URL from the address bar or present Google searches

    I can type a URL in the address bar, but I can't submit the URL via the Enter key or 'go' button. I have google as my home page and I can type a search but not submit them. I reinstalled FF several times. I deleted my profiles. I disabled addons. Nothing works. I am running version 20. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy. User on the computer never has this problem.

    If you are in a corporate network environment:

    20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\greg). Currently, there is a solution for this. A solution could be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could switch to Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

    If you are in a home environment or the local settings folder, then please ignore the above.

  • I get a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar in Firefox 29,0 for Mac.

    I just installed Firefox 29,0 for Mac.
    I have a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar with this new version.
    Instead of the address bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it is impossible to write anything in the address bar.
    (I add a screenshot, but I can't find a way to do it).

  • Since the update to 28.0 typing too many address in the address bar has no effect.

    Updated to 28.0 31/03/2014. Nothing happens when I have too much to type the address in the address bar and press ENTER. Cannot access that tied to the breast of the web pages or emails, or addresses marked with a bookmark.

    First check your Firefox search bar works well and that it is set to a reasonable option. Many users probably doesn't realize that search bar search engine is used for all searches from Firefox now, including the search from the address bar.

    Of course, this does not affect anyone with Firefox 28. It's actually a rare problem, and I don't know what is the cause. All I can do is suggest a process of elimination.

    If the problem is that after the update it must still be another factor involved.

    No antimalware product is perfect. It is always worth trying to sweeps multiples and up-to-date anti-malware tools.

    Try test following a process of elimination (probably the best in this order and check after each step)

    1. In safe mode and with all plugins disabled.

    2. A new profile. Or reset Firefox.
    3. A clean reinstall

  • How to stop the address bar to give me search results?

    Then just update my firefox. When I type something into the address bar, first of all I give myself a symbol magnifying glass with "suggestions" of what I might be typing. I already have firefox to see the only my bookmarks or Favorites in the address bar, so I don't know why I make suggestions. For example, a bookmark I begins with the letter E, so as soon as I start typing the letter E, the magnifying glass symbol appears and I get a result for ebay. All I want is to type the full address in me or for firefox suggest to my favorites, nothing else.

    This is not the default. If you disable or remove Swag Bucks, this behavior goes away? Disable or remove modules

  • How can I have the address bar also be the search bar?

    How can I do in firefox address bar being the same as Chrome - it acts as the area of research as well as the address box

    I hate having to hit tab or use my mouse to move to the search bar

    Chrome: I love how just type anything and just hit return - it will do a search using your search engine

    YES: I know that if you add ' google: "all that you want to search, then the same behavior is created

    But having to type 7 characters is a little too much for me!

    Y at - it a software plugin that modifies the behavior?

    I'll be honest, because of this unique feature, I use Chrome instead of Firefox - I always use Firefox, 10% of the time - but it's because of other reasons

    Thank you

  • Address bar does not any suggestions for my story

    The address bar doesn't pull up of suggestions of my story, bookmarks of GOLD, even if I put it to remember my story in the parameters and suggest both individuals, as well as am able to see these bookmarks and historied pages in their respective fields. I also put all: settings with browser.urlbar to true and that this behavior exists also when I run in safe mode... do not know what else to try...

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can check the problems caused by a corrupt localstore.rdf file.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • Error 80224800 has "can not search for new updates"

    This has been driving me crazy. I get this whenever I have to manually search for updates of Windows (Win8). I do now so that I can update to Win8.1. Not found NO answer in the community or messages of support.

    Update (EH Bentley written as EBKatz):

    I tried different solutions listed in other issues of the forum. Watched firewall and other settings (turned some of them, then go back on it), played safety and made all of the above steps.
    A few days later, I opened charms > settings > Windows update. Still no joy, same error.
    Is off the computer. Put on market a few hours later and here is, on the left 1/3 of the login screen is the message "windows updates are available"
    Now a few days after I saw that these update messages on all the other days I. Just ran a huge update last night and finished it this morning.
    At this point, I can't say exactly what it was that I did, but I suspect that it was a combination of the above solution and the various other things I tried after watching the many Q & A forum.
