Firefox doesn't redirect us to the website when we type the site name in the address bar

• 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/

• Hello, is it possible to make Firefox copy non-Latin URLS in the address bar in full instead of encoded in percentage?

  When I copy a url in the address bar in the clipborad and paste it elsewhere, it is truncated. This is particularly annoying when trying to someone send a link to a non-English wikipedia article (or other sites with the "descriptive" URLS.) is there a way to disable this option?

  To avoid that you can place a character like a '-' to the far left of the address bar and select the URL without leading the hyphen.

• After reset my Firefox is no longer opens web pages automatically when I type keywords in the address bar. How can I fix it?

  Before I reset my Firefox I could any words in the address bar and Firefox would redirect me to the Web site. For example, typing ' reservoir dogs, imdb "would redirect to the film's IMDB page, and type a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of a company that uses these characters as an abbreviation of his name.

  I never put this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now, this possibility came to me and I can't seem to fix it.

  I use Mozilla Firefox 21 laters.

  You are probably referring to location bar history. If you click this button, a list of Internet sites must appear. This article will give you information about the history of compensation.

  You should also look Awesome Bar - find your Firefox bookmarks, history and tabs in the address bar for other cool things you can do with the address bar.

  Hope this helps!

• Firefox prompts to save passwords of websites. The key to the Password Manager icon appears on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window asking if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions

  I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...

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

  It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
  
  Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
  
  You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.
  
  You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.
  
  If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

• Firefox opens only the websites via the url link, don't even try to connect via the address bar.

  I can only open Firefox Web sites by using a url link. If I try to type something into the address bar it not even trying to load the page, no circle of loading, no error or no connection message. I'm on youtube.com and I type in Google.com and tape INPUT. Nothing happens. Nothing. I hit the key twice in the same direction. I can open new empty tabs, but cannot get the address bar to work. I can right-click on videos and make them properly open in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
  Internet Explorer works perfectly fine however. Despite the announcements.

  I've updated reinstalled disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, has not done jack diddly squat. If anyone has an idea of what's going on here, I would highly appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Try clicking on tools-> Options-> advanced-> general tab uncheck the box "Use Hardware Acceleration..." ". You have the entire module as avg safe search installed?

  Hope that helps.

• I can't access websites via the firefox address bar, only through links and the address bar of windows. Why is this?

  When I enter a Web site URL and press enter nothing happens. Same thing with the green arrow next to the address bar. Only by clicking on the links or by typing the URL in the address bar of windows I can access websites.

  Found the problem. Tab Mix more is to be stupid. Dev-update to the current release has not helped, but disable did the trick.

• When I open Firefox now goes out of the screen as it does with the website in the address bar, I'm going to.

  In order to enter anything in the address bar, I need to move the cursor to the top edge of the screen in Firefox and the site chosen.

  Try to hit F11.

  It is a toggle that maximizes the window beyond 'normal' maximize and gives you the most possible real estate for navigation, with less waste on the edges and buttons.

  It might be the bad form to mention here, but other browsers use the same key for this.

• Firefox redirects to bing, I despise bing. How to make the default search google (not the address bar search bar redirects to BING when I get anything apart from a url. I would refrain from google.

• 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.

• How can I get the address bar does not redirect me?

  Since the recent update for Firefox 36.0.1, a URL typed on the address bar is now taking me to a website where I can buy this unused domain name (buydomains.com). This is not where I want to go. I have no intention to buy a domain name; I don't particularly appreciate receive advertising in response to my fault for typing. What I would like is a good, not old Error 404 to tell me that I looked for something that didn't exist. How can I prevent the address bar to send me off, in the arms of the advertiser, but get just a 404 instead of this message?

  Hello

  I have to fully understand and appreciate the magnificence of a 404 error. He immediately told you what you wanted to know - that the site is not found!

  What you see is where the registration and ownership of the site was passed to the registry which is owner of the domain. The site is located, it is just acting as an announcement of the person who is the owner of the URL so that they can sell or resell.

  The address bar works as it should - it displays the URL as requested - it's just not the preferred outcome. One way you can get around this is use a parental control addon and include the name of the registry in the watchlist (or edit list so that it is the only entrance). She stops at the page to display. (Link) is an example of the kind of addon, that you could use.

  I have three users on my desktop PC, that is to say me and my wife, and a more. I am running Windows 8.1
  My firefox works fine, as is the other, but when I switch to the user there is a problem
  When I type a URL, it is www.xxxxxxxxx in the address bar and press return or enter, nothing happens. Even the small arrow on the right side of the address bar doesn't do anything when you click it.
  I tried to disable all add ons and extensions, and accelerator hardware and even started in safe mode. Even reinstalled Firefox and the problem remains. However, problem is still there. Have also installed Chrome and works, just to check.
  It started a week ago.
  As I said the other users on the same office very well work this eliminates normally like all windows updates the user are performed. Why this phenomenon happens only to a single user?
