• 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),

• How can I get the Awesome Bar Google search parameters?

  For example: if I type "site:support.mozilla.org browser" in Google or even some new-tab for Firefox addons, I get a page with the Google search results on this site for that keyword. If I type the same line in the "Awesome Bar", I get an error page.

  I would like different settings of Google search through when you use the address bar to search.

  This should work if you type search terms and additional parameters such as site:xxx.com at the end.

• The awesome bar in FF4 does not display the URL of the previous page visited the current.

  The awesome bar to view the URL of the visited page, given that the upgrade to 4 FF is no longer the fact. It displays the URL of the first page visited say a goodle search so if you navigate to another page or return to the search results, it continues to display the URL of the old or none at all.

  A few possible causes. There may be an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4 the cause. For details of how to troubleshoot see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  The URL does not update can also be caused if there is a problem with the file that stores the browsing history and bookmarks. To see if this is the case, open your profile file, for more details on how to find this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  Now, close Firefox and places.sqlite and rename it places.sqlite.old. If there is a file called places.sqlite - journal you can remove it. Restart Firefox and it will recreate this file, import bookmarks from a backup, if browsing history will be lost. Now check if the URL changes.

• 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.

• 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.

  • Clear recent searches from the search bar
  • Delete Web sites suggestions from the Awesome Bar

  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.

• Remove bar below awesome bar

  There is a bar that had websites like ebay and other whatnot listed under the Awesome bar.

I don't see a place to add a screenshot, but I have one that signals if I'm not clear.

• 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.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
  • Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

  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.

• 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).

• What happened to the Awesome Bar?

  My 'Awesome Bar' is more impressive. It adds is more my entry by "http://" and ".com" it just gives me a page from google Web with suggested sites. I uninstalled my FF10 & reinstalled with 3.6.26. It worked fine with 3.6.26. I tried version 8, and he had the same results as version 10. Back to FF 10. Aside from the awesome bar works not properly, now when I go into my research, I have to click on the small arrow to the right of the URL bar instead of hitting "enter", very annoying. Is there a fix for two issues? Version 11 of may?

• After the upgrade to version 9.0, why the text in the Awesome bar is gray and a part of the text is black?

  Some of the text is grayed out in the Awesome Bar, this page is grayed out except for mozilla.org is black. It is present on every page.

  The beginning of new behavior in Firefox 7 is to highlight the area (i.e., mozilla.org) in the address/URL/location bar for easy identification.

  Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about: config

  1. type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  2. If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)
  3. Filter = browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
  4. Double-click the pref in the lower panel of toggle it on 'false' OR , do a right-click on the pref in the lower panel, then choose "Toggle" switch it on "false."
  5. close the topic: config tab
