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.

Sometimes modules can 'break' when a new version of Firefox is available and cause strange glitches in the user interface.
Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
and OK reboot.
Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Any difference?

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

Whenever I am clicking on the results of the search from the Google search bar, it always opens the homepage of Google. I can only open in a new tab search results by clicking twice. It started when I installed Firefox 12.
Off all extensions and on each one. Everytime you had to restart the browser. The problem is resolved after you turn off the 'Indian Rail Info App 4.78 Firefox' extension. He worked with previous versions of Firefox but the problem came with the installation of Firefox 12.
Anyway, many many thanks. -
How can you keep the url displayed in the address bar?
With some (but not all) URLs of links display briefly but disappear when the page loads. (Example, I was able to capture is: < < http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/2015-news/08-20-2015-tuskegee-next-teen-flies-with-young-eagles-chairman > >)
The address bar then return to "search for or type the address" (in italics).
There are many who suffer from this problem (see forum "Urls are no longer visible in the address bar") but no useful responses are given, only tips to "Start in safe mode", which does not solve the problem.Hmm, I've not seen this before.
Normally, I expect only the text placeholder to appear if the address bar has been selected and you press on delete or BACKSPACE to remove the URL of the page. In this case, you can press ESC to restore it. The next time you see this, you can try pressing ESC?
There are a few different keys that can move focus to the address instead of the page bar, in which case it is a keyboard problem. These include:
- F6
- CTRL + L
- ALT + D
If you notice any pattern to it, which could help improve the diagnosis!

I can only open Firefox Web sites by using a url link. If I try to type something into the address bar it not even trying to load the page, no circle of loading, no error or no connection message. I'm on youtube.com and I type in Google.com and tape INPUT. Nothing happens. Nothing. I hit the key twice in the same direction. I can open new empty tabs, but cannot get the address bar to work. I can right-click on videos and make them properly open in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
Internet Explorer works perfectly fine however. Despite the announcements.I've updated reinstalled disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, has not done jack diddly squat. If anyone has an idea of what's going on here, I would highly appreciate your help.
Hello
Try clicking on tools-> Options-> advanced-> general tab uncheck the box "Use Hardware Acceleration..." ". You have the entire module as avg safe search installed?
Hope that helps.

How can I stop Firefox giving search suggestions in the address bar?
From the last update, if I start typing something in the address bar, I get random search suggestions as if I was using the search instead. How can I disable this? It is kind of annoying, and it really bothers me. I read in another article that I went to about: config and checked "I'll be careful", it would stop, but I'm worried it may screw up my browser. Is there another way to solve this problem? Or do I just move a superior browser?
No it won't cause other problems as long as you do not change other preferences.

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.See:

Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
