Displays no text entered in the address bar
I am running Windows 7, and today I updated to version 40.0.2 of Firefox and then encountered the following problem.
Text I entered in the browser's address bar does not appear, or appear irregularly, as by displaying only after that I get a certain number of characters.
For example, just as I type "www.aninterestingurl.com" in the address bar. Nothing actually appears immediately, even if the cursor is visible to the right. And if I select the text by highlighting, then the text will be displayed.
Please see the attached screenshot for a demonstration.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your display driver graphic card and search for hardware acceleration of related issues.

How do I put FF so hit enter in the address bar refreshes a page if it is already loaded?
Currently FF do not reload a Web page if you re - enter in the address bar.
For example, go to your address bar right now. Don't change anything and press ENTER. Note that nothing happens? Even if there was new data on the page, it would not show upward. You must hit refresh on the page refresh in fact.
EDIT: Good so it was a bad example... because it refreshes rofl. I can't say the same thing to happen for most of the other good sites.I want to change it so refresh applies to hit entry in the address bar, on all sites!
Suggestions? Thank you!
The keyboard shortcut is "button"F5"or"Ctrl + F5"to bypass the cache.
I had problems if the file is on my local drive and there is an ID on the url fragment.
So I have some time to recharge without this fragment id (mypage.htm vs mypage.htm #step41) -
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.

Can not enter in the address bar.
Since I usually use bookmarks or pinned tabs, it's perhaps a week or more as the last, I tried to do, but when I tried today the area of the address bar is there, but completely empty and the edge of the box seems to be missing to the left and down. The mouse arrow does not a cursor change when hovered over the box and I can't enter type.
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.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

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

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.

Display full page URL in the address bar
I published my site of MUSE in HTML format and posted on the GoDaddy server. Everything works, but regardless of what I am on the page, the address in the address bar of browser remains the same. My client wants that the full address to appear so that they can cut and copy URL address of specific pages in the emails.
How to the pages of the web site to correctly display the full URL in the address bar?
I would like to mention other sites accessing my client will be displayed properly is not a browser setting. It is only when us travel to their site URL remains fixed for the duration of our visit.
Thank you.
Andy.
This is an animation of edge you have there. When an Animation of edge is placed in Muse, she is placed inside an iframe. So when www is loaded into an iFrame, all relatively called assets are loaded in the same period and so the URL in the address bar never changes. You can set target = "_top" or "_parent" on the dashboard link then animate when the link is followed it loads in the browser and not only within the iframe Muse uses to display the content of edge animate.
Thank you

Web site looks different without "www" is entered in the address bar.
Hello, I just created a web site, www.danwoodard.com. When I type in "www.danwoodard.com" everything seems as it should. However, if I omit the "www" and enter only "danwoodard.com" the site is much larger than it should be. This does not happen with other browsers on my computer. Can anyone suggest what could happen? Thank you.

Windows xp pro. This means that my files are corrupt? so even if I wanted to return the old version of firefox my story will be bad?

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?

Enter key no longer works in the address bar after updating FF
After the update of the Enter key no longer works. When I type the url directly, nor when I select in the history.

cannot drag and drop a shortcut on the desktop of the address bar.
I can drag and drop a shortcut to the menu of bookmarks. I can't drag and drop in the menu bookmark on the desktop. I can't drag and drop the address bar on the desktop.
You drag the text selected in the address bar or the button "Site Identity" (lock/globe)?

JavaScript command works not in the address bar
Until FF Version 6.0.2 is supported by the following command via the address bar "javascript:window.resizeTo (1280,1024); In the 7.0.1 version and beta version 8 - it is no longer supported. I use it all day in my role as project manager for testing web pages in different screen resolutions, and I had to downgrade to 6.0.2 just for this feature.
Support for this was removed permanently or is there a way to enable it in v7 or v8?
Thank you.
6 javascript in the url bar from Firefox works with a principal null for security reasons. In other words, that it is almost off. You need a bookmarklet or an add-on for a workaround. See question 871828.
Bug 656433 - do not allow javascript: data: URLS entered in the address bar to inherit from the principal of the currently loaded page
From the window of Firefox 7 moving and resizing is no longer allowed with some exceptions. See question 880032.

the address bar of Firefox 40 will not act on the entered text.
I can only access different websites using bookmarks. Although the address bar shows the current site accurately, you can enter the new text in the address bar and pressing Enter has no effect. Nothing happens. How can I fix?
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

Why the address bar is not displayed marked bookmark first when entering?
I have all the tag bookmarks. When I type the given tag name (exact) in the address bar it shows mixed history results ignoring added fresh bookmarks. I have to manually go through the Bookmarks Manager and select them by label. How to solve this problem? It's really annoying.
Thanks for the link.
The solution is to add ' *' at the end of sentence so that history in this way is omitted. It seems that in the standard semiautomatic results are also sorted by how many times links were visited. That's why my favorites were not included in the list.

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.
