desertdave760 why doesn't the URL frequently disappears from the address bar?

Thus, for example, here, this page is not the address in the address bar. If I wanted to send the site to someone, I have to go to IE (God forbid) and retype the url there.

This happens for many but not all sites, I'm sure. He says now, search or enter the address

It's strange. "Search or enter the address" appears if you delete the current address, but if you click in the address bar and press the ESC key it should display immediately again (Esc cancels the change).

This text appears also with a few built-in Firefox pages, like the homepage and the new tab page. But for the 'real' web pages, you should see the address.

In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

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

Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

Any difference?

Also, maybe it's not relevant to you, but sometimes users have a bookmark that opens a page in the sidebar to the left in the main part of the tab instead of. The address bar displays only the address of the main part of the tab. If your Firefox seems to have a split screen (left-right), that might be the problem.

  • Why doesn't the space bar "click on" than the tab through the form?

    I want to know if it is possible to change the buttons on my form so that when a user presses Tab through the form by typing they can simply press the SPACEBAR while the button is highlighted to 'click' top.  Also, if anyone knows a button cancel out of the tab order?

    Hello

    Not that I know of. The default behavior is that when a button has focus, the button enter fire the click event.

    Also, I don't think you can exclude a button in the tab order. If you open the palette tab, you can move the button to the bottom of the tab order, but you can't completely eliiminate it.

  • Text on the buttons labels have disappeared, and the legs went above the address bar. Why?

    Last night, I've updated for Firefox 29.0.1. Now, I don't mind not change - and reworks - doesn't bother me but I HATE it when the options are removed. I want text labels on buttons (the ' Home' button, for example"). In the previous version of Firefox, you can click in the gray area at the top right and select "Customize". From there, you could drag and drop of what things you want to appear in your toolbar or not - and there is a check box for Select if you wanted the labels of text appears under them or not. Now as hard as I look, I can not find this option. So you're now forcing people to use ONLY icons. I hate this. My brain processes the word 'Home' much more quickly that it recognizes a bit the image of a House. You must understand that people act in different ways - and all simply because the developers of Firefox can not personally use text labels, which does not mean that person only!

    What is the point in removing the option? Not at all. Please re - introduce the option. In the meantime, I'll be back to the previous version of Firefox.

    In addition, I see that the tabs are now moved on top of the address bar. New - WHY? I love them below. Why do you feel the need to make changes - and then not giving people the ability to customize things how they like?

    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.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Why is that now, when I click on a link for a Web site I have saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I don't and then drag it to an email to share the link.

    How is it that, in these new versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I opened a link that I recorded, it does NOT display the URL in the bar of addresses?

    I can't drag and drop the link in an email, and I don't see the actual address that I'm connected to for reference OR for security reasons. Why is - this has changed?

    It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link that I saved, by using the 'Properties' window, then copy and paste the URL in the address bar of Firefox, until I can do something with it.

    I had the same problem. Looked at all the addons and extensions referred to in the conversation between philipp and dadmr. All extensions and plugins off and on again with each shot. Problem has been resolved by disabling app 1.0.85 Goodshop and RealDownloader 1.3.2.28. It may be that these versions were outdated, but were postponed during the upgrade from previous versions of Firefox. I hope this helps.

    You already have a userChrome.css file to change the user interface of Firefox? It is the only other method that comes to mind to hide a menu item. You can find such a file in this way:

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

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    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.

    Look for a folder named chrome , and if you find it, click on inside.

    Any userChrome.css file here? If so, you can open in a text editor and view its contents to see if it looks familiar.

    Or maybe your program files have been damaged in the upgrade. This happens from time to time, with unpredictable results. To remedy this situation, I would suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.5 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    You can get reinstalled Firefox?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
  • Why can't I just press ENTER to go to the page when I have the full URL text typed in the address bar?

    I do not know; Maybe I'm just crazy, but I swear, until I downloaded FF4, I used to be able to (1) type in a full URL, or (2) a URL or a partial keyword and choose what I wanted in a drop-down of recent URL, and then press ENTER to be redirected to the page I was looking for - all in the address bar without having to use my mouse click on the small arrow buckled at the right end of the address bar (next to the star of "favorite").

    This will be caused by an add-on that does work properly with Firefox 4. the procedure described in the following link can be used to identify a cause your problem - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    The AVG Safe Search add-on caused this problem for some people.

  • 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!

  • Firefox continues to change url in the address bar, even when I type a url full. How can I force my search?

    Dealing with the same companies daily, weekly, or on a very regular basis. When I get a new business account or a customer, I try to remember to delete erroneous results in the address bar. I hit the full url (.com) in the address bar, but Firefox forces of memory (or history) and the only way I can get where I'm going is to type the address from a search engine.

    I have everything: completion of the configged, but that didn't work. I also tried autofill.typed, but that has not worked. I tried to change tools > address bar, but the choices are not good. I almost never search bookmarks and my story is too often used to remove. (It seems counterproductive). How can I stop Firefox forcing me to go places I want to go?

    It looks like - in the sense to remember shit that I can't remember - and to do my research much more difficult.
    I had problems - particularly in Amazonia. I wrote a couple of times. Nobody has ever gotten back me on why FIREFOX has so many problems. If I get answers here, how can I get answers? I don't want to use IE and I don't want to have to avoid certain websites because results suck. I'm in limbo until solutions are found.

    Thank you.

    I don't know if the problem is that Firefox itself changes the address you type in the address bar, or if the site is immediately Firefox redirection to another page when trying to access the address you specified.

    For example, 1 & 1 Webmail currently redirects to this site for login: https://webmailcluster.perfora.net/

  • Why you can not move the address bar to FF 29.1 and put in place if you wish?

    I hate this version of FF sucks, my set up disappeared (it took forever to put upward the way I liked it and it's just been eliminated in a single update what horror) and I tried to put it was, but it seems that you can not. I love FF in black including my menu bookmark I have poor eyesight and it is much easier to read, FF is black OK, but I can't get the bookmark, menu has changed the way that it used to be. Also can you change the LEGS down. You also don't seem to be able to move the address bar it's stuck on the right side of the page to the most ridiculous place, it might be. I appreciate if anyone has any ideas that could help me I'd love to hear from you, Bravo and thank you for taking the time to read my problems. I hope 30 FF will improve or it will be IE and not more FF.

    It is a problem with my laptop with large screen of 1366px. And it was good until last year when I've upgraded to a new Firefox every night a few months ago, and this problem occurred.

    And the cause of this problem is the address bar, if I removed it the icon has not disappeared (minimize)
    Tried to change the width of the address bar, but nothing helped. What can I do else? Only this folder of bookmarks disappear, all other icons of stays...

    Reset firefox it's a hilarious response. Please stop suggesting such a thing, when it's not neccessery. Since I have not had a response, deleted a few files and the localstore.rdf came out to be the problem, deleted icons and rearranged, again, now it works very well.

    Your solution is dumb as hell, why the hell I start all process (with 30 extensions etc.) during the Setup and can be ended with the same bug?

    I can't give a lot less for your 'solution' but you should go to the corner and think about what you wrote!
