• 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

  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.

• After downloading Firefox 4, when I type something in the address bar that he used to go directly to the site, now it goes to google. How can I change this back?

  For example: I could type 'facebook' in the address bar and it would automatically take me to facebook.com now he takes me to google.com and shows me the search results. I want that Firefox take me directly to the page as before I installed Firefox 4.

  I hate this new feature. Here's how to disable if:

  Come on in "subject: config" in the URL
  type in 'keyword' in the filter bar
  Locate the property "keyword.enabled.
  Double click on it to make sure that the value is set to FALSE

  eventually Firefox will take you directly to a Web site when you type in, instead of doing a search for it. Know that, if the word that you type does not lead to a Web site live while you're not going nowhere.

  To counter that, for example, if you want to go to Facebook.com , but don't want to change anything in the settings of Firefox, hold down the 'Ctrl' on Windows when you enter a URL. Which will automatically add the ".com" at the end of any word you typed in. Note that this adds only the ".com" and will not automatically recognize ".edu", ".gov", etc.

• Firefox does not delete browsing history in the address bar

  No matter what you with Firefox in clearing the browser history by going to the history-> delete history, recent and all delete or reset FF by accessing information from troubleshooting, Firefox does not browsing history. The Web site you have traveled still appear in the address bar.

  Several people have already complained about this (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the response from the staff of Firefox is that it is be a malware. That's not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in own computers Windows and Mac with Firefox, do the same thing, or rather not do what it is supposed to do: clean browsing history.

  How dangerous is that. Where your privacy? Firefox must find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they do it on purpose because it has not been fixed after him complains.

• Firefox automatically adds the port number in the address bar when it is not.

  I work for an ISP company that implements regular routers for a customer locations. One of the things I need to change about it is to assign the management port 8080. For example, 192.168.0.1:8080. Once I try to install a new router that Firefox automatically assume I want to go to the same port 8080 and automatically concludes for me. Since the new router has not been configured with the 8080, yet I can't. So basically I would like to see if I can stop Firefox automatically enter this bit of information. It is very annoying and even more annoying that I have to use another browser to make changes since Firefox can not. I found a similar fix posted when Firefox will automatically ".www" but which did not fix my problem.

  Disable the URL bar auto-complete feature. You can always select an address already used by the arrows down on the drop-down list of AutoComplete, but Firefox won't add characters to the URL as you type. Here's how:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the filling and make a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the browser.urlbar.autoFill preference to change its value from true to false.

  Who help me?

• Time Warner has ordered me to use an IP address directly in the address bar, now I can't stop Firefox try to contact this address whenever I start Firefox.

  I was sent a new modem/wireless router by Time Warner in their package of socalled EASYCONNECT connection. They instruct me to search for my current network settings by putting a numeric IP address in the browser's address bar. This IP address could not be contacted, but this isn't the problem:

  Now, whenever I run FIrefox, a tab opens and the browser tries, each time without success, to contact this IP address. I want to STOP this, simply return to what the regular homepage from Firefox / Google invites with NO PRELOADED in the address bar.

  Can someone please tell me what to do? I tried a "reset" of the home page. I can't find this call my story, even if it is perhaps here.

  You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

• How can I disable the search for 3 ~ 'guess' in the address bar, above the suggestions of my story?

  In the new version of Firefox, when I start typing something in the address bar, instead of display the suggestions of my story, it shows 3 ~ ' popular search strings ", as in the Google search bar (for example if I type"a", it shows aol mail aol and amazon). I find this very irritating feature, is there a way I can disable the seach assumptions, so I can browse my pages of the story as before?

  Thank you!

• Firefox 23.0.1, update is no longer automatically highlights the contents of address bar when I open a new tab.

  The foregoing. When I opened a new tab in the past, before the new update, firefox would automatically highlight the text in the address bar, and I couldn't just start typing here the address of the site that I wanted to. I could quickly get anywhere I want in less than a second. Now, I need to drag, and then click on in the bar every time to address. I installed an add-on called "custom newtab", but it slows down just me lower due to a lag between opening a new tab and the add-on kick and highlighting the contents of address bar.
  What is happening is this:
  Click "new tab".
  New tab opens blank, and the text appears highlighted "google.co.uk" for about a quarter second.
  Loading the Google page and highlight the text becomes not for another second quarter.
  The module comes in and highlights the text "google.co.uk" Meanwhile I have already started typing and end up losing the first part of words, sending me random web pages and research.

  Why this change? Difficulty please!

  Hi ChrisYeomans, a change has been noted in other threads on google.co.uk

  The http URL now automatically redirects to https. Since you did not specify the Protocol in your newtab.url setting, Firefox attempts http and it is immediately redirected to the https domain. You should be able to see this happen unless your computer is much faster than mine.

  Firefox does not handle this redirect elegantly - the URL in the address bar is not enabled unless you click a different tab, and then click back.

  To work around the problem, update your newtab.url to the URL https://www.google.co.uk/ full

• Address bar "I'm feeling lucky search" missing feature in firefox 4?

  In previous versions of Firefox, I was able to type in the address bar and it would execute an "I'm feeling lucky search.
  For example if I typed "firefox" in the address bar it would take me to www.mozilla.com. This feature seems to be missing in the latest version. Any ideas how to re-enable this function?

  In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "Search by name" rather than "I'm Feeling Lucky." With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it searches only on Google, if you type something that is not recognized as a URL.

  To get the behavior of Firefox 3.6 on Firefox 4, you must change a hidden preference.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

  http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

  If you prefer, you can also do this by installing traverse it by extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

• The tabs in Firefox 4 are hiding my browser themes. Can they be placed UNDER the address bar as it was in Firefox 3?

  Firefox 4 has placed the tabs above the address bar, rather than below (as if it was in previous versions) and the legs are block and hide my browser themes. Is it possible to move the tabs UNDER the address bar? I love being able to customize my browser with a variety of topics, but if I can't see them, then, the purpose of Personas is defeated. I think also, navigate between tabs is much easier to be at the top of the browser window. The address bar must be the head, not the tabs.

  Right-click on a toolbar, and then click the entry "Tabs" at the top to deselect the it.

• When I hover over a link, Firefox adds the site before my link makes it bad.

  I was check the compatibility of my site. So I opened http://www.sethermal.com. It was fine until I flew over a link. Firefox has added the site and broke the link.

  For example.
  I entered the address bar www.sethermal.com . The site came fine.
  I hover over the 'Site Map' link on my page. Link is http://www.sethermal.com/pages/site-map.html
  Before clicking on the link, I looked down and Firefox shows www.sethermal.com/-www.sethermal.com\pages\site-map.html
  When I click on the link of course I 404 page not found

  Why is this happening?

  These links have a backslash instead of a slash.
  Firefox is not so forgiving as other browsers and treats a backslash as a character valid and thus prefixes links with the URL of the page.

• My Firefox interface is messed up. When I hover over or click a button, it becomes all the pixlated, blocks move and lines appear around the buttons.

• How can I stop height tab to change when I hover over them?

  I use Firefox 29. When I move my mouse over any tab, the height of all tabs climbs to about twice the height, they are when I do not hover over them. I do not like this behavior. I'd rather have the tabs remain the same height if I hover over them or not.

  How to disable this behavior?

  If you have not already... To see if one of your extensions is in question, could you test mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

  Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)

  In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

  Any difference?

  Firefox has bigger tab graphic images for displays "high resolution". But I expect the size to be determined once and does not change when you move the cursor or stop... hovering, but to adopt this thought:

  • What is your default zoom level in Windows? For example, it can be 100%, 125%, 150% or a custom value.
  • If you have manually customized the preferences of Firefox "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx", what is its value?

  To verify that a second:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the pix and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) find layout.css.devPixelsPerPx on the list.

  • A value of-1 means Firefox will use your zoom level of Windows to the size of the text and images on your toolbars.
  • Any other value is applied instead of your zoom level of Windows, multiplied by 100, so 1.2 gives you the text and images larger than the old standard of 120%.

  Please do not change this value, which will only make things more confusing.
