Awesome bar shows no history

Hi all

My story no longer shows in my address bar. I tried several fixes I found around the internet, such as departure and safe mode and check the settings in the Privacy tab. The problem persisted in safe mode and then manually disarm all my addons and drop my themes.
I tried Firefox uninstall and download it again. No effect.
When the problem started, the location bar under preferences has been set to show the history and bookmarks. I tried setting it only history, and he showed bookmarks I had read recently. I tried to go back to the history and bookmarks, and it showed only the bookmarks again. I guess this means that the address bar is not properly reading the folder containing my story, but I don't have the computer know-how to confirm, and still less difficulty, this problem.
I'm talking to the latest version of Firefox on mac.

Thanks for your help,
John

Hello

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

Enter Subject: support your address bar, or go to:

  • Help (or

    >

    ) > Troubleshooting information

Next to the profile folder, click on the "view file" button to access the location of the file. Make sure it is not read-only. Alternatively, you can install the extension of Maintenance of places to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first, because they provide useful tips and instructions that may be useful for you:

  • Cannot remove the awesome bar history

    So I completely wiped my browser history, several times. But I always /all/ of my story in the awesome bar, which is just super aggravating. What can I do?

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

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • How can I get more results that contain the tag/bookmark appears in the awesome bar? Currently, it will show only 4.

    When I type a word in the address/url/awesome bar it's a word that I know that I used as a tag on several pages of a bookmark, only 4 results in the menu drop-down are marked pages of a bookmark. The rest of the pages in the menu drop-down are other pages available on the web. Because only 4 results are pages I tagged, the page I want to (and scoring) often does not appear. Is there a setting I can change to make it show more results? Or is there a way once I get the original results to add extra elements containing the tag / my favorites?

  • awesome bar does not display existing addresses

    Firefox itself upgrade just esr 38.2.0, and when I type in the awesome bar, it brings not existing more addresses.

    For example. I used to type s in the bar, and he would show slashdot.org, as it was the most common s that I visited. Now, it's just completely empty.

    This is intolerable. What is broken?

    The appearance of the parameters in the Options/preferences bar location has changed a drop-down list of option buttons.
    I don't know if he took part code of specific migration with this change because the prefs browser.urlbar.suggest. * underlying have not changed.
    If other prefs obtained were changed by default while this could have caused it.
    Installed extensions may also have caused such a change.

  • The 'Awesome Bar' does not work. He does not remember anything of the bookmarks

    Just updated again Firefox. In the past, when I'd start typing a site in the firefox address bar it would complete as it was already in my favorites. But now it does nothing. It just sits there waiting for me the full address. I could start typing Netf and it automatically end Netflix.com

    Why is happening. Also, for the first days of the new version I had to go back in the tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they finally remained as I wanted.

    I would say he never remember history and after while I would look and he said, do not forget history. I wanted a blank start page, and not to change it. It's normal now but the Awesome Bar does not at all.

    Your bookmarks are displayed in the drop-down list auto suggestion?

    Otherwise: Under Options > confidentiality, in the lower part, does always show that Firefox should suggest bookmarks in the location bar?

    If auto-suggest works but the AutoFill does, you may check that it has not been disabled here:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste autofs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If browser.urlbar.autoFill preference is "BOLD" and "user" false, double-click it to change its value to the default value true. It should work in new tabs.

    It already is the value true, hmm, I wonder if there is a problem of private browsing? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing).

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

    Hello

    To disable the address bar to not display search history results. You can do this by going to Firefox-> Options-> privacy and select the option that says: "when you use the location bar suggest" and set it to "nothing". I have attached a screenshot that might make it easy for you to locate.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

    Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

    For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

    Is it possible to either:

    1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

    2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

    In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

    Hi Danon72.

    To disable the 'Visit' item in the list, please edit the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in The editor of Configuration of Firefox to false.

  • How can I remove the default awesome bar visit link?

    I just upgraded to firefox v43.0.1 and the awesome bar began including that this "visit < URL >" link whenever I have started typing a few letters. It's driving me crazy. The only thing I want to show that it is my favorite items (i.e. marked with a bookmark). This "visit < URL >" just started to appear immediately after I've updated today.

    The only thing I've enabled in tools > Options > privacy > address 'Bookmarks' bar which is how it has always been. Why is it now show this '< URL > visit' in the drop-down list and how do I get rid of him?

    This is a new feature in Firefox 43. To turn it off to do this:

    1. Go about: config in Firefox
    2. Click on the I'll be careful button
    3. Locate the Boolean browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
    4. Change the false value

    Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

  • I can't the elements removed from the Awesome Bar

    For the latest versions of Firefox, I always wanting to old URLS will appear in the Awesome bar. No matter what I try to delete them, they do not disappear. I did everything suggested (delete history, erase cache, reload with a version of Firefox, etc) - no luck. I also notice that when I start to type an address, there is no drop-down list that appears for me to be able to delete entries.

    I'm sure there's some semisimple difficulty, I just haven't stumble on it and after months of this, I have given up trying to understand me.

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

  • Is it possible to remove the "key words" awesome bar, search

    Is there a way to delete / keywords not registered

    For example, there are many songs of guilty pleasure I'll be embraced if someone will see.

    example: Kylie Minogue

    Is it possible to take off and never save any page associated with this keyword 'kylie Minogue '.

    Since this 1, 2, 3 (can see images)

    Same thing for 3 is there a way not to save keywords or save anything in boxes like this

    What about adult stuff (thank God for navigation of PRIVET) <-just be honest here.

    When you say keyword, are you referring to them, the keywords associated with a search engine? Research Management > double click on the key word column

    You may also delete the history entries if you put history to remember everything. However, in the location in the Options toolbar settings > privacy > you can change what is research: 'Nothing' or the history and bookmarks.

  • Awesome Bar search are more all bookmarks after update of FF 34

    I just upgraded to FF34 and having a horrible time, everything works well again. My current problem is that when I type a name in the awesome bar, it will not look at ALL my favorites. It shows some, but not all. For example if I type Dev, it shows correctly my bookmark for the Guru Dev. If I type fire, it shows nothing even though I have 4-5 bookmarks related to firefox. If I type the letter "s" I see 5 favorite partners but not good. I have the address bar in the historical settings and bookmarks. I have not found solutions on the web and am at a loss what to try next. I even deleted the bookmark and it added. Doesn't seem to help.

    I eventually found my own solution. For anyone who is interested, here is what I had to do to solve this problem:

    Steps to solve the problem of the Awesomebar (address bar), not finding a few bookmarks:
    Press Ctrl + Shift + B to display all bookmarks
    Click on import and backup
    Click backup
    Save the file
    Closing of Firefox
    Go to the Mozilla Director profile (on a Windows 7 box is probably in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\YouFireFoxProfileName)
    Make a copy of the folder bookmarkbackups, places.sqlite, places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal
    Remove all files in the bookmarkbackups folder
    Delete the places.sqlite, places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal
    Open Firefox
    Press Ctrl + Shift + B to display all bookmarks
    Click on import and backup
    Click on restore > > choose file
    Select the file from earlier

  • My new tab page is missing and now when I tap on: newtab in the awesome bar I get a page called subject: topic. Help!

    I use to have the grid pinned Web pages, whenever I clicked the X to a new tab page. It has now disappeared. I figured out if I typed about: newtab in the Awesome bar he would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I tap on: newtab in the awesome bar I get a page called subject: topic... and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned sites on my new tab page?

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type Subject: config.
    If a warning screen is displayed, press the button to be careful .
    That's where Firefox considers the information he should run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter browser.newtab.url
    and press ENTER. browser.newtab.URL
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select Edit. You can change the setting

    topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
    on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
    Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

    or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

    The same instructions are used to the new setting of the window, classified
    browser.startup.homepage.

  • I'm having a strange problem with the awesome bar

    The awesome bar/address bar is as impressive as it used to be. When I start typing in a speech, it seems that he does check more through my history and gives a list of possible matches but gives just the stem of an address. For example, if I type in "goo" will end this at 'google.com' if I add this with a "/ has" it's going to end this to 'google.com/analytics ' but it is also good that he doesn't get, as I say, no history list or bookmarks.

    I checked the options and also about: config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly had not changed any of them when he began to behave badly). I have also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.

    It is driving my crazy, because I quite often use sites whose long addresses and keep in mind each of the components of each address. I would go with Chrome, but I also use Firebug, a fair bit so don't really want to do.

    Of the image, it seems that there is a persistent add-on. He was re-activated?
