FF 3.6.6: address bar no longer works - help?

After updating Firefox version 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP 3, the address bar no longer works to navigate to pages. When to enter in any URL and pressing on enter, the page reloads with google.com (which is my home page in FF). By clicking on certain works of bookmarks. However, navigation in Google search results does not work. I tried to reinstall. Also, I tried to start safe mode. Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

After updating FF 3.6.6

User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1))

I solved the problem by changing the proxy settings of "automatic detection" in the network configured screen.

  • Address bar no longer works with the manually entered URL

    Four days ago the address bar has stopped working. I'm used to manually enter several URLs and pressing "enter", but although I can still enter URL as usual, key 'enter' not charge not the page in question, or the green at the end of the address bar arrow does.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Address bar no longer works in the version 50

    Firefox has update itself version 50, address bar does not work for a search or by directly entering the web address. After entering information and press enter or click the 'go' nothing happens.

    Exactly the same thing happened there are a few updates and had to be fixed.

    Any chance of a fix? Browser is unusable like this...

    Thank you!

    Philipp - you were right, an add-on called URL suffix is the origin of the problem when it is activated.

    Thanks for your help.

    That annoying Mozilla this compatibility publishes from time to time; I can't really recommend it to non-it people. As I say, this exact thing happened on a previous update and I don't think it's the fault of the developer add-on.

  • After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

    Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

    Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

    Plugins:
    Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
    Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
    Google 1.3.21.123 update
    Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 10.9.2.5
    Java (TM) platform SE 7 U9 10.9.2.5

    Microsoft Windows Media Services 4.1.0.3917
    Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.287
    Silverlight Plugin 4.1.10329.0

    Extensions:
    Avast! WebRep 7.0.1473

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

    You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

  • Firefox address bar does not work

    I recently updated my software Kaspersky of Kaspersky Internet Security Kaspersky Total security, 2015 at around the time that Firefox automatically updated from version 35 to 36. I don't know if the update of Kaspersky has nothing to do with the problem, but now the Firefox address bar does not work. I've 'come down' Firefox to version 35, but it still does not work.

    You can add a URL in a window of the Firefox window (Firefox or Google) search engine, and that works, like clicking on the hyperlinks that appear. But the address bar is totally dead! The address in my browser Google toolbar also works OK

    I hope that someone familiar with the operation of Firefox knows how to solve this frustrating problem as I prefer Firefox Google.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Location bar no longer works

    I updated Firefox last night, and now the address bar does not work. If I click on a full link after typing in the part of it (for example FAC poster www.facebook.com) it connects; or hit "enter" after typing the address (with or without the http://) connect. The only way to connect to a site is to click on the button of my house, or click the arrow on the 'go' at the end of the bar. It's incredibly annoying! What can I do about it?

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Address bar doesn't work does not and is not AutoComplete. Places.SQLite file is not damaged.

    Since the last update, Firefox 49 and 50, the address bar has stopped working. First of all, it would not be before semi-automatic with my browsing history, and now he's not let me even in Web sites. I checked the places.sqlite file and it is not corrupt. I also tried to disable hardware acceleration, but it does nothing more. However, I started Firefox in safe mode and it works very well. What should be the problem here?

    Hi, because it works in Mode safe, pointing to an add-on or theme that is not compatible.

    Start Firefox normally, and then disable any topic and the modules one by one until you find the culprit - Manager of modules additional (Ctrl + Shift + A) > appearance/Extensions. You may need to restart Firefox after you disable some of them.

    Any ideas how to fix the main menu bar?

    Well, the aroow is visible now. Maybe you should add a background image in the .link4 style.

    I guess you should check your code for errors more.

  • Bar no longer works with the latest update of El Capitan of Safari address/search

    Last night, I allowed my MacBook Pro was updated to the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.3).

    Safari is now unusable. It is impossible to type anything in the address bar, a URL or a search term. I can click on the text field, but no cursor appears and typing not going anywhere I had to switch to the use of Google Chrome!

    Is there a fix in the pipeline for this?

  • Drop-down menu of Firefox address bar Sporatically stops working

    I had this problem for about a year and some parts of the year are worse than others, and now, according to the latest update of Firefox, this problem is at its absolute worst.

    The drop-down menu in the address bar of Firefox sometimes stops displaying my newest and popularly seen the websites that I have visited. Whenever I have updated Firefox, the problem goes away and he used to stay at the gap to end of weeks in a row, but now the drop stops working almost whenever I close Firefox after this last update a few days earlier.

    This problem persists in the Mode of Firefox safe and apparently appears randomly any plugins/extensions I can I have installed/enabled.

    I am at a complete loss here and would appreciate any help because this drop in the address bar is one of my favorite features in any browser, and it becomes annoying to have to reinstall the plugins more (when I use the Sync feature to reinstall the plugins, the problem is even worse).

    For problems with the file places.sqlite (bookmarks, historical) database, you can check in the Firefox profile folder.

    If the extension of Maintenance of places cannot repair the database places.sqlite file remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to rebuild the database places.sqlite latest JSON Firefox backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

  • address bar does not work

    If I type "amazon.com" or www.amazon.com"in the address bar and press on enter, nothing happens." Even if I click the arrow in the bar nothing address arrives. I have to do a search in the search bar to access a web site. I believe that the version of the file is 37.0.2.5583. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

    I've tried everything as suggested. First the cache then safe mode. Firefox worked in safe mode, but frankly, I'm not the best at solving software problems. So - I clicked on 'refresh Firefox. " Who did. I am very grateful to you people for taking the time to help me!
