How can I change the search to an address bar bar?

Not sure yet of the terminlogy here, but it's my problem better that I can describe it: I want the ability to directly access a site whose URL I type in the navigation bar. but, as it is right now, what I type must first go through a search. I am reluctant to uninstall my current Web bar and try starting with something else, like this search only restriction made it almost impossible for me to open everything: config (instead of simply look up references to it), until I found a link that did the trick - including the icon is now on the navigation very bar that I want to change.

Been all along ready answers offered at Mozilla and elsewhere and found nothing reassuring, although Awesome Bar On looks like it's maybe the thing - at least I thought I saw an icon of green arrow instead of a magnifying glass at the end of the bar icon. But bar features have not been detailed in a way that allowed to take an informed decision on installation - just got a sales pitch of "Here's what you can do", highlighting a number of things gimmicy I don't even want.

Can anyone suggest a solution for me, please?

Yes, use the address bar.

If you have not changed anything note you can drag the address bar and the search bar, they will change size if that helps.

Because you might be new on our terminology and Firefox you can find these two useful introductory articles

Post back about how you will after reading related articles.

Some other search bar which is now masking bars of Firefox could have installed.

The address bar also known as the awesome bar and use of the search bar in Firefox, are the two standard features of Firefox and require no additional installation. They both appear on the navigation bar that displays by default in Firefox.
(Default blue included above, text links Clickable)

Firefox is of course very editable, and you can hide these or replace them, but you don't seem to be able to access.

Subject: config is a quite specific example, it's actually a Protocol, others are also available try for instance drop-down list:

  • help-> troubleshooting information

You can go to these "subject:" pages with the help of the location, bar, reception for the first time you try on: config it will probably give you a warning, because it is not always the best way to change things.

  • How can I change the search engines if /searchreset does not work?

    I just upgraded to 23 FF, and it or some other setting changed my default Yahoo search engine. I want to go back to Google, which I think is the default value. Another thread of support was driven to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/, but that has not worked. I went in: config and Yahoo changed to Google on several lines, but it did nothing. I tried to change the searchreset.backup.keyword.URL and the keyword. URL, but they would not change the setting Yahoo.

    Not only is my default stuck with Yahoo, but even if I click on the arrow pointing downwards in the search box, I can not select a different search manually engine. The drop down menu shows me a list of search engines, but by selecting one of them has no effect. Help?

    To avoid any misunderstanding, Firefox is not a 'search engine', nor Firefox has its own search engine - its strictly a web browser. If you do a search in the address bar, the search engine that is selected in the search bar is used.

    In addition to the cookies and cache, as phillip mentioned, if you have a Google + or account Gmail are logged in Google when that happens?

    If so, have you tried logging in your Google account to see if it changes anything?

    Are there not such somewhere or an XML file that contains these entries?

    Firefox gathers information about the plugins of research from two sources - the default searchplugins folder that is shared by all profiles Firefox (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and the folder searchplugins in your active profile. They are combined into a data file named search.json.

    I read a few threads on the net about the modification of these search plugins, and it seems to require some trial and error. Assume that the ONO plugin is in your profile.

    Under help > troubleshooting information, you can click the open folder containing (pre-Fx12) or folder (Fx12) Show to open your folder of the currently active profile. Snap searchplugins. Here are the XML files you can edit in your favorite text editor. If you break one, you can probably just download again, but if you're a cautious type, go ahead and make a backup.

    After the change the short name and save and close the file, change your probably not will immediately appear in Firefox because some trigger event may be necessary to update search.json. If the restart of Firefox is not enough, you can try to rename search.json before restarting, but this can cause you to lose the keywords that you have assigned through the dialog box handle the search engines.

    In any case, it's all improvised that have not tried-TI-me-even, then I suggest to do some additional research.

    (If there is an Add on very practical to do this, I don't find it.)
