• Cannot open firefox, get cannot open XPCOM. Impossible to open IE. Cannot type anything in the address to Fiefox or IE line. What can I do?

  I ask this in the name of a friend. She has a Toshiba laptop, windows 7. It is not computer. She used her phone OK yesterday, playing a Facebook game (played several times before) and everything was OK.

• 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.

• Safari 9.0.3 duplicates url address.  Cannot enter text in the address bar. With the help of Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Suddenly this morning I could not type into the address bar of Safari 9.0.3, and then noticed that the url has been duplicated.  If I click on the sidebar to get a new Web page, the address bar then includes two urls, those past and present.  Restarted Safari - no change.  Not disabled-extensions (AdBlock, ClicktoFlash and DuckDuckGo) - no change.  Restarted the MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2010) Yosemite 10.10.5 - no change running.  Firefox is running normally.

  Can anyone help please.

  Thank you.

• Why there Chinese looking characters in the address bar of Firefox after I disconnect from my gmail account?

  I stopped using Firefox when I became aware of a worm that had been prevalent. Recently, I used new Firefox instead of Internet Explorer or GoogleChrome, but now, I'm afraid that my computer may have been compromised because of China looking for characters in the address bar of Firefox, after that I registered on my gmail account.

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  Is see above story

  If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the title bar of Firefox or Windows task bar, then that can happen if Firefox go to encoding UTF-16 for some reason any.

  The extension Plugin RealPlayer browser Record (Tools > Modules > Extensions) has reported that causes this problem.

  Be sure not to be confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Modules > Plugins) that plays media files.
  The expansion adds some extra features like save multimedia files.

  You can disable/remove the extension Plugin RealPlayer browser Record in RealPlayer preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > recording and download)

• Nothing happens when I type a URL in the address bar and press ENTER. Nothing happens if I type anything in the search bar.

  Firefox will not go to any URL typed in the address bar. Or it will search for anything typed into the search bar. I tried to open Firefox in Safe Mode, unchecking the compatibility options, the cleaning of my recent history (the history icon is not even appears in the Firefox toolbar more), affecting all the Add-ons "Always enable", restart the computer and uninstall then reinstall Firefox, and there's no up to present work. The uninstall feature does not completely uninstall Firefox because it does not delete my favorites who are all still present. The first symptom of a problem was an error message, the first fix I tried was reinstalling Firefox without uninstalling first. Now, the error message no longer appears, and I don't remember what it was.

  Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.

• Cannot type in the address bar of safari on iPhone

• Under Windows, don't enter anything in the address bar

  I am running Windows and for some reason any this morning I can no longer move anything the text typed in the address bar. Pressing Enter, clicking the button arrow or using Paste & go do not work. I see other users have had this same problem but I do not see a solution for my exact configuration. I use 39.0 and on Windows 7 Professional SP1.

  Sorry, what do you mean by "delete files"?

  Due to the change how Firefox 39 associate keywords to bookmarks and history, the address bar is newly sensitive to corruption in the database that stores your history and bookmarks (the places.sqlite file). I think that's probably the bug you saw in other threads.

  The developers are working on a solution, but that could take weeks to reach you.

  At this point, the best solution is to delete/rename the places.sqlite file, but then you lose all your history, if this really isn't very attractive to people who rely on history to revisit the sites.

  In case you want to try this:

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

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information

  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 places.sqlite to something like oldplaces.sqlite.

  Firefox creates temporary files related to places.sqlite and those should be renamed / remove as well. Check for places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal and rename or delete them as well.

  When you start Firefox back up again, he should start a new database places.sqlite and import your last backup automatic bookmark. Can you confirm that all your bookmarks are present? The address bar works normally again?

• Since I have no address bar, I can't type config in the address bar to activate the address bar.

  New laptop. Downloaded Firefox and could not activate the address bar doesn't so no back arrows or hometown icon or research, etc.
  Please do not suggest that I access the controls in the address bar. I do not have an address bar to access anything whatsoever.
  I don't want to customize the address bar. I just want to be able to see and use the controls in each illustration to the getting started and help watch are here, as they were on my old laptop.

  First of all, make sure that you are not in the mode "full screen" of Firefox. The F11 key toggles between the normal modes and full screen.

  Second, you can activate the individual toolbars on and outside using either:

  • Right click on an empty area of the tab bar
  • Click the "+" button on the tab bar
  • Press the Alt key > menu view > toolbars

  The address box is on the Navigation toolbar.

  If the Navigation bar is displayed but the address box is missing, your bars may be damaged. You can use the 'Restore Default Set' button in the Customize dialog box to restore. Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars.

  A little luck?

• 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.

  Hello

  Today, I have problems with the Safari address bar.

  Direct search through the address bar does not work.

  I can open the first site that I type in. After that, when I select the address bar, the former Web site title will remain as I type. I can repeat that these steps and all text will be overlap in the address bar. No Web site can be opened with Safari. Below a screenshot of my address bar.

  

  I am running the latest version of Safari and OS X...

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Cannot type in the address bar of Safari

  All of a sudden, I can't do anything type in the address/search bar in Safari. I tried everything I can think of to fix it. I searched the internet and support forums of apple, did a restore from a previous backup and finally reinstalled OS x. Nothing works. The only way I've gotten on the apple web site is because my home page has been set to Xfinity, and it has a search capability. Any ideas?

  Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

  Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.
