• 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.

• When I type in the address bar the first option on the menu drop-down is always of the form 'visit' or 'search' How do I prevent these from appearing?

  Until typing today on behalf of the part of a site or a page that is shown a list of suggestions from my previous navigation. However, since installed 43, the first option is now either visit: xxxx, which is always a site, never a page, or when the string does not have a page it goes to the research: what I just typed.

  I would like to disable this, but I am struggling to find the solution for it.

  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

  You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion of visit page from the drop-down list.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• 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?

• Why, when I type in the address bar and select from the drop-down list, I seem to "click on" on one of the toolbar buttons?

  I noticed recently that, sometimes, when I chose an entry in the drop-down list after I started typing in the address bar, I would get a different page than I wanted to. It turned out that I was actually clicking the bookmarks toolbar button that has been hidden under the list entry, I thought I was clicking.

  Hi, thanks, but disabling hardware acceleration does not fix it. However, I just swapped my mouse, and seems not to happen anymore!

• 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?

• 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/

• When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  When I open a page in firefox there is nothing on it just a black page with no address bar or whatever it is

  Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new faster way to loading Web pages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still tweaks to the Mozilla developers make this.

  There is a known issue that Mozilla works very hard to fix: If you have black pages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:

  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 is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  To disable hardware acceleration

  • Click the menu button

    

    then select Options.

  • In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.

  Now, quit Firefox, wait a few seconds and start normally.

  Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also collecting more information on the question would require that you fill out this survey

  also consider joining Google analytic (also free).  Analytical will allow you to 'see' who is visiting your site and how they experience through research, order the seizure of the URL, or through the links, etc.  Also from where they come, how much per day, etc.  Lots of good information.
