everything that I type in the address bar

for now, literally as I type everything in the address first, bar even if the cursor is visible somewhere else. For example if I try to type a message to facebook, it goes first in the location box. Only, he started doing this recently

The OP is on Linux, as you can see in the details of the system, kind of malware is very likely in this case and an extension is a more likely cause.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

    Hey! Take a look at this. This temporary has helped a number of users here. Over time, everything should be resolved then wait for a while.

    A possible solution to the problem of address bar: disable the Safari Suggestions

    If you have problems to open Web pages, take a look at these techniques proposed by Apple of troubleshooting.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204098

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    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.

    Open the menu to go with the Option (Alt) key - library - key locate Safari folder and place it on your desktop. Restart your Mac, open Safari and delete the file from your desktop.

    Also, try the following steps:

    Restart your Mac.

    Try to start:

    -Stop your Mac

    -Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the power button

    -Just after you hear the startup tone, press in and hold the SHIFT key

    -Release the SHIFT key when you see a gray Apple sign and the progress under this sign bar

    -Once your Mac boot, restart dhcpd as you usually do.

  • Every folder I open it in Windows Explorer starts to run an analysis that goes anywhere in the address bar. How can I stop this?

    In earlier versions of Windows, I would allow the address bar appears at the top of any folder that has been opened.  I'm on Vista Ultimate SP2 now and I'm not sure if the same name is still assigned to this bar at the top that displays inside the location of the folder structure of windows to the folder that is open.

    It is the same field that indicates the status of your search in Vista.  This is the area, to which I am referring.  In the upper left of the folder.

    Whenever I open a folder, it starts what appears to be a search, and the progress of the present poster with the field more in more blue from the far left and go right.

    I thought that since that acts of domain the same when I do an actual search, as she does when I open a folder, that maybe Vista makes some sort of search, or perhapes an indexing function.  I disabled indexing on my system.

    But when even scan darn, or whatever it is, starts on every window I opened.  Is it that a folder with pictures, the pictures does not show until scanning, or everything he does ends or is almost finished.

    Whenever this address bar starts its thing, I can him an 'X' that appears to the right of the address field.  The blue progress bar will suddenly zip through as if it ended, but often nothing happens, like the display of thumbnails for a period after you click 'X'... as if it still makes of anything, that he was not concerned that I hit the 'X '.

    Sorry for the length of this post.  I'm strugglng to describe my question clearly enough.

    If you know what is happening and how to stop it, I'd love to help...

    Thanks for the clear explanation.  I've never heard of this problem before, but it does not sound like opening the file automatically starts the search function - a problem that could be caused by a number of things.  The first that comes to mind is a recent installation program or the Windows Update (or a corruption of the registry) that is causing the problem.  We will approach the problem systematically until we discover the problem (with the procedure with the highest probability of success first).

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  If this started recently, I think that this procedure can solve the problem without requiring you need to go further (but I could be wrong, and the problem may be with some corrupted system files that must be identified and repaired).

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    This could also be malware (although I have never seeen before a kind). Let us make sure that it is not.  In Safe Mode with network (click several times F8 during the boot process) try to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Set the scans to be comprehensive analyses and configure the program to fix any problems they find.  Restart after you have completed all the scans. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html , as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure:

  • 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.

    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?
