After reset my Firefox is no longer opens web pages automatically when I type keywords in the address bar. How can I fix it?

Before I reset my Firefox I could any words in the address bar and Firefox would redirect me to the Web site. For example, typing ' reservoir dogs, imdb "would redirect to the film's IMDB page, and type a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of a company that uses these characters as an abbreviation of his name.

I never put this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now, this possibility came to me and I can't seem to fix it.

I use Mozilla Firefox 21 laters.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • After downloading Firefox 4, when I type something in the address bar that he used to go directly to the site, now it goes to google. How can I change this back?

    For example: I could type 'facebook' in the address bar and it would automatically take me to facebook.com now he takes me to google.com and shows me the search results. I want that Firefox take me directly to the page as before I installed Firefox 4.

    I hate this new feature. Here's how to disable if:

    Come on in "subject: config" in the URL
    type in 'keyword' in the filter bar
    Locate the property "keyword.enabled.
    Double click on it to make sure that the value is set to FALSE

    eventually Firefox will take you directly to a Web site when you type in, instead of doing a search for it. Know that, if the word that you type does not lead to a Web site live while you're not going nowhere.

    To counter that, for example, if you want to go to Facebook.com , but don't want to change anything in the settings of Firefox, hold down the 'Ctrl' on Windows when you enter a URL. Which will automatically add the ".com" at the end of any word you typed in. Note that this adds only the ".com" and will not automatically recognize ".edu", ".gov", etc.

  • When I click on firefox Web page size of postage stamp and does not load. How can I fix?

    I was not able to use firefox to get online, because when I click on it the page is only the size of a large postage stamp and disappears when I try to click on it to make it bigger. What can I do about it?

    The main window of Firefox has sometimes "off screen" somehow. You can often force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image floating above the taskbar and choosing expand them. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is when the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to the standard window size/position.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button '3-bar' menu > '? ' button > Troubleshooting Information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close this window or close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • My tab bar no longer allows me to open additional tabs: there is no + after open tabs. It has something to do with the homepage. How can I fix it?

    no real details, just changed the home page

    You can open a new tab via Firefox > new tab > new tab?

    You can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

    You can find the button new tab showing as a '+' on the tab bar.

    You can open the window customize and drag the button new tab that indicates that a sign plus bar tabs on another toolbar and it will become a regular tools like the new button bar button tab you have in versions of Firefox 3.

    If you can not find the new button tab then click the button 'Restore Default Set' in the window customize.

    If you would like the button tab at the right end of the tab bar, then place a flexible space to the left of it.

  • After typing the web address in the address bar I can no longer just press on enter for the webpage to load, I have to use the mouse to select the arrow at the end of the address bar

    I downloaded the latest version of firefox and since then when I type a web address in the address bar, I can not only support on enter to get onto the site I want, instead, I have to use the mouse to point the arrow at the end of the address bar and click it.

    Driving me crazy! Never had this before!

  • When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

    When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

    Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

    On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

    You can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

  • With the upgrade to version 8.0.1, I can not more long scrolling with my touch pad or button (Lenovo T61). It was possible before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

    The touchpad and the 'red button' continue to work on other programs but just not Firefox.

    Try to change the pref on the subject ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled: page default config-1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the work button.

    Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
    • Preferences that have changed also show "BOLD" (user set).
    • Preferences can be reset to the default value using the context menu if they are set of users

  • How can I return search box in a new tab? When I open a new tab, it is only to show the address bar.

    When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.

    I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.

    I have attached a picture of your understanding.

    I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.

    user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.

    Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.

    In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.

    Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs

    • Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
    • Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
    • topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc

    You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).

    It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.

    First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
    For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start Firefox

    The second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.

  • Keyword.URL no longer works, default search uses it who is selected in the search box, how can I get this search keyword.url in the address bar works again?

    just changed after the last update of firefox. It's very embarrassing because the address bar and search bar are two different entities.

    CTRL + L moves the focus to the address bar

    Ctrl + A then selects all the content
    Ctrl + Del, or a plain Del, or Ctrl + X then deletes that content.

  • Lightroom 5.7.1 does not open.  There is an error message that there is an error while reading from the cache of the preview.  How can I fix this error?

    Lightroom 5.7.1 does not open.  There is a message that there is an "error reading from the preview cache".  How can I fix this error?  I can not find the folder cache of Lightroom preview either in the "Programs folder or the programs (X 86) folder."

    Hi PMB.

    You must remove the preview for your Lightroom Catalog Cache.

    It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted. Here is a picture of what it is named as default Lightroom5catalogPreviews.Lrdata.

    Delete this folder and restart Lightroom

  • When I open some page of wikipedia in firefox, formula are in latex format, and there is no image of the formula. How can I fix?

    For example, I see something like this:

    M ^ \text {T} \Omega M = \Omega\,.

    and I do not see the image of the formula format. This problem will occur many pages of Wikipedia when I use Firefox to open.

    Is he missing images then check that you do not block the images of certain areas.
    You can press the ALT key, or press F10 to display the Menu bar
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.

    Search for "tools > Page Info > media ' blocked images

    • Select the first link of the image, and then use the cursor key to scroll the list.
    • If an image in the list is grayed out and 'block Images of..."is checked then uncheck this box to unlock pictures of this area.

    Make sure that you do not block the (third) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the topic: config page should be 1.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) and anti-virus software that can block the images and other content.
