Before the last update of my Mozilla Firefox, the start page for Firefox contained one area internet address to the top of the screen, where I could enter a Web address and go success. She also showed the Google search box in the middle of the screen.
Now, after the update of Firefox, the start page shows that the Google search box. There is no internet address box or an impressive "box", which, according to my reading of the new features, is supposed to have replaced the internet address box.

Someone has just a difficulty to stop to open with the home page homepage?
I see that this problem is widespread, but some of the 'easy' patches are for computer geeks only. I would like to know if anyone could tell me how to get rid of the home page without delving into the bowels of my computer? I'm not writing software, and I'm not going to jump through hoops to try to get rid of this nuisance.
There must be more people like me who look at some of these answers and think, 'What?'... especially when you see what you see apparently when you "walk through" the steps to correct this problem.
I think that Firefox should address this personally, since it's their update that we screwed everything. Supposedly, updates are supposed to make us 'ready to take advantage of the latest speed, flexibility and security. Yes, good. How to fix this bug, Firefox? Instead of making your users solve problems for you. This is ridiculous.
If no one can help me to solve this problem without having to get a degree in computer science, can someone tell me how to get rid of the update total? I'll take my chances of NOT being "ready to enjoy the last speed, flexibility and security.
I'm sorry for the frustration, but it's just simply unacceptable. We shouldn't have go through it whenever we update. Thanks for any help!
See? Complicated. I'll just live with it. Thank you.

I can't get my cursor will appear in a search box (e.g., Google, amazon.com, etc.) in Firefox Version 16. It seems to be a kind of focus problem. Is it a Firefox problem or a problem of Windows 7? Could this be a script problem? Thanks for any ideas on how to solve this problem.

How can I stop Firefox from sinking my IP when I use the proxy settings?
So basically I use settings from manual proxy on Firefox from time to time to be more anonymous. These proxies are normally rather slow (but hey, it's the price for you to pay for anonymity). Sometimes I'll see a sudden leap of speed. I suspected that the proxy may not work for some reason any. So, I use a website that tells you that your IP address is to see if the proxy settings are really working. Of course when I update the site it gives me my real IP. I have check the proxy settings and it turns out that the browser was restored to use the proxy settings of the system (for some reason that is the default instead of no proxy). This happens randomly and why not apparently when I use the Manual proxy settings and it flees my IP every time that happens (and I never know when it does, unless I am very attentive). Is it possible to prevent him from returning to the system without no reason proxy settings? BTW, I tested the proxy in question after what is happening so it still works which preclude the possibility of the proxy does not (even if that were the case, I'd rather my IP don't Connect at all that the leak). So yes, any help in getting it to stop doing that would be nice.
Hi internetman, in your system more than details it shows as active. It may or may not be something, but try to disable in case it makes a difference.

bar menus and apple icon frozen when Firefox has focus on mac
For some reason any when I start firefox now and give it focus on my macbook the menu bar does not respond. None of the items in menu firefox opens, and the apple icon is even frozen. Firefox worked, and I'm not sure what I could have changed to make this arise problem. Unfortunately, I can't change the settings of firefox, because I can't pull down of items of menu o FLE. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no change. Help!
Try uninstalling (trash) and reinstalling Firefox.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:
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.
