  I try to customize firefox to look like IE, don't ask why, believe me, I don't want. Anyway, I downloaded FoxE9, that customizes a bit look like ie9, which I think it's the closest I'm going to Firefox.

  Only problem Im crossing is the firefox icon that is in the address bar on the left side, I think its called a favicon?

• With bookmarks only, the address bar shows sites not visited in access of bookmarks

  When you use the address bar, which is attached to only favorite, websites visited, unknown make their appearance.
  I keep no history and I don't have any labeled site. I Redid the settings to the bookmarks that repeatedly and have removed these undesirable, unknown sites that I have never visited or searched individually. Is there a reason why the Favorites only will be not displayed?

• 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.

• I can't stop firefox opening a new tab when I type a URL in the address bar.

  I have the ability to open windows into tabs and I love it. My problem is when I type a URL in the address bar, rather than load him on this page, it opens a new page. No matter what type of page I made this. When I CTRL + T to open a TAB, and then type in the address bar and it opens a new tab the TAB Leaving previous, I opened intact. I would like to just so that it loads the page on that I entered.

• 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 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 tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

  When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

  Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

  On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

  You can open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

  When I open a new tab I see Google search smooth with large beautiful Firefox logo on the top center of research, and makes me automatically type in this research. Is there a way to automatically enter address bar when a new tab is opened? Just moved to Firefox and it's quite annoying.

  Looks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
  2. To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
  3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
  4. In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.

  Otherwise,.

  1. Custom installation tab.
     • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
  2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
  4. The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.
