Cannot use the address bar to search or go to Web sites
I can't type in an address such yahoo.com, press on enter and do go to yahoo.com. Nothing happens. I click on the arrow, nothing happens. I try to search in the address bar and nothing happens. Something off? Blocked? security implementation?
Thank you
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?

It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?
And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?
Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.
Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

Cannot search from the address bar or search even in safe mode
Hello
I can't search in the address bar or search, even in safe mode. I refreshed Firefox, delete all cookies, empty my cache, but nothing works. Also, I get a message that does not respect the firefox sync, and "this object pushed." I know that these are all different questions, but I suspect that there is a link.
I have very limited FTP and general computer knowledge, so please take I don't know anything when he answers! Really hope you can help!
Thanks in advance.
You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.
If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

Today, I was unable to obtain results when I put a topic into the google search bar. However, if I use the address bar it will work and I eventually switched to internet explore and was able to get results in the google search bar.
Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.
'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:
- Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

By clicking on the address bar or search bar and typing does not erase the previous text inside
When I click on the address bar or search bar and start typing a new entry, it does not erase the previous text. I always have to remove it first to clear the field and then I can type in the new URL or keyword...
OK, I found the search the on: configuration database. The problem is that browser.urlbar.clickSelects.All is set to "false". I changed it to "true" and now everything is perfect...
Also to solve the same problem with the search bar, I changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground from false to true.

How to change background on the address bar and search - it ruins my characters
I'm addicted to personas however the address bar and search bar are in glaring white instead of transparent like the rest of the top page. This completely destroys the continuity of the photo. I want to make these bars, and everything above the upper transparent reading as the toolbar pane so that the only thing that shows is the icons and text. I tried dozens of search terms, none address the issue. 18.01 Firefox. Can someone help with this problem? Screenshot available.
Thank you

Use of the address bar to search for phrases that contain no spaces?
When I type the sentences that contain spaces in the search bar, it evokes a search on google as specified by my topic: config under the keyword. URL
However, when I type something who * do not * contains a space (e.g. potatoes), firefox tries to connect to http://potatoes/, return an "impossible to establish connection to the server to potatoes.

Cannot type in the address bar or search... even in safe mode
I use Firefox for years, so I'm not new at this. I already tried in SafeMode... same problem... so who says this isn't an add-on / plugin problem. I have not installed brand new in any case within a period of time.
The only thing I can think is playing the game DC Universe Online I could hit a key combination and I was check what competencies would be a good thing on the Web site and the tab then return in the game. But what combination of keys would prevent you from typing in the search bar or the address bar?
I'm able to stick in the bar and in this way but if I type and copy it from another browser to search... I might as well just use this other browser.
After much searching I found the answer here:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/947513
«Some have reported that one or several times by pressing the F9 + Windows worked to solve problems with typing in Firefox bar does not.»

I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?
Hello
If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:
- Type of topic: config in the address bar.
- A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
- Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
- Double-click the item that appears.
- Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).
(I have attached a screenshot).

Addresses by typing in the address bar does not at all; bottom of screen says 'Done '. But clicking on bookmarks or a search works very well.
Upgrade your browser Firefox 3.6.24 or 8 and check
