  • How can I change the order of the sites when you type in the address bar?

    I used to type 'go' in the address bar if I want to go to google, so it automatically ends and I just click ENTER after 'go', but lately, one other site took place so when I click on enter I come to the wrong site. I didn't want this site more than google. How can I decide that there will be automatic? It's really annoying!

    If AutoFill (browser.urlbar.autoFill = true) is enabled, then you can not get a drop-down list, but Firefox will AutoComplete entry automatically.

  • IE 8 on Windows XP: Favorites do not appear when you type in the address bar.

    System:

    IE 8:

    Version: 8.0.6001.18702CO

    I can't my favorites appear in the address bar when I type in.  I have removed/disabled all the parameters 'InPrivate', my 'Securty level for this zone"is set to"Low ".  I "restored the advanced settings.  I deleted all cookies, temporary files, history, etc.  Also, I tried to update my registry and that does not work either.  I reinstalled IE8 and it does not work.  I also ran a 'fix' and who does not.

    Can anyone provide a viable solution?  Also, please don't refer to another thread.  Just put the answer in this thread.  It would be much appreciated.

    My only thought is to reset Internet Explorer...

    Tools. Internet Options > Advanced tab > reset > reset Internet Explorer settings > click on Reset

    IE close and reopen, and see what happens.

    My last thought would be have you started something new installed on your computer for this?

  • How can I fix slow shift when you type?

    It's weird. In recent days, when you type anything on Facebook or other applications, including the subject of this question, I feel a very important gap between what I get and when it appears on the screen. However, as I type this question, there is no lag whatsoever.

    Anyone know what is happening and how to fix?

    I have run virus scans on Webroot and no problems were found.

    Thanks for any help you may have.

    The first step and perhaps the only necessary one, is to get rid of your software "anti-virus" without value.

    Please remove the "Webroot" product by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the steps may be different.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

  • When I type in the address bar the first option on the menu drop-down is always of the form 'visit' or 'search' How do I prevent these from appearing?

    Until typing today on behalf of the part of a site or a page that is shown a list of suggestions from my previous navigation. However, since installed 43, the first option is now either visit: xxxx, which is always a site, never a page, or when the string does not have a page it goes to the research: what I just typed.

    I would like to disable this, but I am struggling to find the solution for it.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion of visit page from the drop-down list.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Safari now closes when you click on the address bar

    Hey all, recently I went to a Web site with a pop - up I accidentally clicked while trying to scroll down around him. After clicking on the pop-up a new tab tried opening that I immediately closed, as well as the 1st original tab open. I have then double click the home button on the iPhone and crept up to close the application currently open safari. But then when I restarted safari, whenever I click on the URL address bar to type something, it immediately closes on my safari. Now, I'm not completely clueless when it comes to try to empty the pop ups, I have delt with the "FBI warning all ' on my and several other phones... so I tried the history of obvious and this compensation that not, but still my safari stops if I touch the address at the top of the page bar.

    So far I have tried:

    1. Double-click on the House, by sweeping up app close
    2. "Restart iPhone' holding the home button and top 10 seconds
    3. ' 'Parameters '; Safari. " 'Clear the history data and the Web site '.
    4. DIssbling JavaScript in 'advanced configuration' for safari
    5. Entered into airplane mode / click on the address bar - still farm safari down
    6. Loading of several empty tabs and clicking on their URL

    And just to be more specific, if I copy and paste a link I am able to visit a Web site... but again if I go to a website and immediately click on the address bar it will close and restart safari.

    OR if I load up Safari in 'Private' I'm finally able to click on the address bar and type websites like Google.com and it works perfectly fine, but if I get out of private and try to type in Google.com, it closes...

    Any ideas?

  • Is it possible to get the option "Switch to tab" higher when you type in the awesome bar?

    Hello

    I am currently under the latest version of Aurora and although I really like it, there is one thing that has bothered me kind of. I am often under more than 100 tablets at once and all of them to find the desired search tab takes a long time, so I would like to use the function "Switch to tab", but more often than not, this option is very far down the list of suggestions, causing me to miss them. So I would like to know if it is possible for this option as one of the first suggestions, instead of putting down in the list.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Why, when I type in the address bar and select from the drop-down list, I seem to "click on" on one of the toolbar buttons?

    I noticed recently that, sometimes, when I chose an entry in the drop-down list after I started typing in the address bar, I would get a different page than I wanted to. It turned out that I was actually clicking the bookmarks toolbar button that has been hidden under the list entry, I thought I was clicking.

    Hi, thanks, but disabling hardware acceleration does not fix it. However, I just swapped my mouse, and seems not to happen anymore!
