Do not type in the address bar?

Then... I have Firefox v. 4.0.1 and it is not allowing me to type in the search bar or the Awesome bar.
But... CometBird 4.0.0 (a firefox browser based) works very well.
Is this a Firefox problem or... is it just me? xD

Edit: But I can type in the boxes on Web sites. O_o

Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

In Firefox 4, you can use one of them to start in the questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode:

  • Help > restart with disabled modules
  • Hold down the SHIFT key while double-clicking the shortcut from the desktop Firefox (Windows)

  • We are unable to type in the address bar and change the homepage

    Hello, after I accidentally installed snapdo, we can not type in the address bar or the search bar. I managed to remove snapdo now of the laptop. Export my bookmarks, reset firefox, nothing has changed - still does not. Uninstalled firefox, reinstalled, still does not.

    In the end, we tried all those - they didn't work, but this thread and recommended prog worked.

    http://www.techsupportall.com/how-to-remove-doSearch-com-from-Internet-Explorer-chrome-Firefox/

    Then we uninstalled Firefox, deleted all associated files - in the AppData folder and then reinstalled.

    So it has now been resolved.

  • When you open a new window, it automatically loads the last content pop up (?) and I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

    I don't know if they are technically pop-up windows (for example, if you perform a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new window of priceline.com with the search results), but that happens with Blocker on or off. Other examples are a little info to a financial site window or .edu, which opens a session is about to expire, or answer a FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows have an address bar or view a URL). In any case, once these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of this "pop-up". Whenever he does, I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in this window.

    How can I fix it? What I want is to open a new window which is empty, not load the previous contents.

    No, I just realized that I was holding Command-Shift-N rather than command-N

  • Stop Auto-loading that I type in the address bar.

    Today, I realized that if I pasted the text in the location bar, it automatically does a search via Google. I tried to stop this behavior, so I looked into it. I ended up trying to change keyword.enabled from true to false. He did not take what I wanted. Now whenever I type in the address bar that Firefox opens not only a drop to the low menu suggestions charge but immediately one closest with each character typed. I need to get back to where I started and be able to type in the address bar without loading any page. I tried switching keyword.enabled back, but the browser will not stop this new behavior.

    Too bad. It was an option for an add-on I use to count the words on a Web page. I didn't know that instant search is part of the add-on.

  • With the help of Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not appear in the address bar. Why?

    When I opened a web page link in "a new window" opens the link, but the information of the web page does not appear in the address bar. It is empty. If I open the link in a new tab, ho problem exists.

    In addition, if one open a link in the tab without a location in a new tab in the same window and then go to the original tab, the address bar fills up with the web address.

    Made it from several places, so it not dependent on location.

    That behavior is likely to be the top caused by an add-on, and in your case the probable guilty is IE Tab 2, the different versions of IE Tab caused problems with Firefox 4 beta, including issues with the location bar not updated.

    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling the it and then see if the address in a new window bar displays the address. If it isn't this add-on causing the problem, see Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems.

    FYI, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you can try this one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

  • IE 8 on Windows XP: Favorites do not appear when you type in the address bar.

    System:

    -Windows XP Pro

    -Version: 2002

    -SP 3

    IE 8:

    Version: 8.0.6001.18702CO

    I can't my favorites appear in the address bar when I type in.  I have removed/disabled all the parameters 'InPrivate', my 'Securty level for this zone"is set to"Low ".  I "restored the advanced settings.  I deleted all cookies, temporary files, history, etc.  Also, I tried to update my registry and that does not work either.  I reinstalled IE8 and it does not work.  I also ran a 'fix' and who does not.

    Can anyone provide a viable solution?  Also, please don't refer to another thread.  Just put the answer in this thread.  It would be much appreciated.

    My only thought is to reset Internet Explorer...

    Tools. Internet Options > Advanced tab > reset > reset Internet Explorer settings > click on Reset

    IE close and reopen, and see what happens.

    My last thought would be have you started something new installed on your computer for this?

  • Since the last update for FF, I have not been able to use my return/enter button when you type in the address bar. Help?

    Whenever trying to type something into the address bar, I'm able to use my enter/return key to go to the site. I hit the button the arrow to navigate around.

    Disable the AVG Safe Search via modules | Extensions. It blocks the Enter key.

  • 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":

    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.

  • Can not navigate using the address bar

    I can type an address in the address bar or choose from the drop-down list, but Firefox will not respond. I've updated my Add - ons, but that did not help, so I started the browser in safe mode, but the problem persists. I tried to install a more recent version, even though I was already up to date, but which has not yet solved the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for publishing and confirming a create a new profile corrected it for you.

    I have made a few posts and update most of them, but missed this thread so far. I'll uncheck the station you have chosen as a solution and mark this on the spot.

    I know that is not intuitive, but for everyone suffering from this bug, it's a problem with the bookmarks database that breaks the: address bar. address bar | URL bar | awesome bar, or anything else you like.

    Current fix suggested. (Bug 1180419 partner)
    Rename the places.sqlite file as explained in this recently revised article.

    I will post more shortly and updated information further down in this thread and edit my previous post/solution (#answer-750303)

    There is one bug fix in one of the pre versions release already, and with a bit of luck, this will be in the regular version in the next few days.

  • Enter key does not work on the address bar (OSX)

    I don't know what happened, but type or paste something into the address bar, then press on enter is no longer works (more than the Go button).

    I use OSX 10.9.4 and 39.0 Firefox, so other suggestions such as restart in safe mode or by disabling hardware acceleration is not applicable.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    My wife said as she loaded a Java update that did not work as expected. Wonderful. I unloaded all things Java and still no good.

    Fortunately, my homepage is set to Google and I can search in Google and click on the links to navigate.

    I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.

    Hi the indoorwthrman, since your Windows determines itself as a "Windows NT 4.10" (Windows 98), instead of Windows XP, you could check something. Right click on your program of Firefox shortcut, click Properties, then the Compatibility tab. If something is selected here, deselect, you don't want Firefox to run without all the features of Windows XP. If you make changes, try to exit Firefox and restart to see if it makes a difference.

  • I can't upgrade spent 28 my dropdown does not work in the address bar I can't get stuck at home page address bar

  • 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:

  • How can I change the order of the sites when you type in the address bar?

    I used to type 'go' in the address bar if I want to go to google, so it automatically ends and I just click ENTER after 'go', but lately, one other site took place so when I click on enter I come to the wrong site. I didn't want this site more than google. How can I decide that there will be automatic? It's really annoying!

    If AutoFill (browser.urlbar.autoFill = true) is enabled, then you can not get a drop-down list, but Firefox will AutoComplete entry automatically.
