I don't get the Awesome Bar suggestions...

If I type something in the awesome bar, it is not give suggestions. I tried safe mode, but no change...

I use Firefox 4.0.1 but I also had the problem with 4.0 and 5.0 (beta).
I use Windows 7 (64-bit).

Disable "AVG Safe Search", it causes problems of location bar as the ability to use 'Enter' can be a symptom of many other problems such as accidents and crashes. It is listed in the extensions problematic - MozillaZine Knowledge Base , and it must be stuck in the block list. You must follow the instructions to reinstall "AVG Free" without the "Link Scanner" component so that it will not continue to be a problem with the new profiles or new versions of Firefox. Compensation for the "AVG" antivirus version has an option to disable the 'feature '.

Don't know if that will solve your problem, but try it first.

Safe mode would have stopped the extension so it's not the immediate problem.

  1. Make sure that you are not in private browsing
  2. Make sure you're history and not clearing it

Now when I tap on: newtab in the awesome bar I get a page called subject: topic... and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned sites on my new tab page?

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type Subject: config.
    If a warning screen is displayed, press the button to be careful .
    That's where Firefox considers the information he should run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter browser.newtab.url
    and press ENTER. browser.newtab.URL
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select Edit. You can change the setting

    topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
    on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
    Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

    or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

    The same instructions are used to the new setting of the window, classified

  • Stop Search Suggestions in the awesome bar

    Google is my default search engine. I followed the instructions to disable Search Suggestions in Firefox 13. Unfortunately, this seems to work if I search from the search bar. If I am looking in the awesome bar, that I prefer, search suggestions are always displayed. Prevent search suggestions from the Awesome Bar as well? I can do this in Google Chrome - please tell me I can do it in Firefox!

    The way to do it in Chrome is enter the following URL in your default search engine:

    https://www.Google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = %s & btnK = Google + Search

    I don't see a way to do this in Firefox 13. BTW, the above URL also prevents Google Autocomplete and Google instant.

    OK, thanks for the clarification - you can enter Subject: config in the locationbar and search for the preference named keyword.url. DoubleClick and assign https://www.google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = - this should also redirect searches from the address bar of firefox version of google without suggestions.

  • How can I disable the "Awesome Bar" altogether. I don't want any of this feature.

    I WANT an address bar. I DON'T WANT an "Awesome Bar". In previous versions of FF, I was able to NOT SEARCH from the address bar. Now [FF 24 vs FF 17] I can not disable this rather undesirable behavior.

    I solved the problem...
    There was misconduct 'key' left by installing and removing a toolbar for the search engine. The tag has been removed from "subject: config ', and the behavior of the browser scheduled is back. It would appear that perhaps some of the 'key' tags have been renamed since my last version - which may explain why the wandering behavior began with an update of the browser.

    EDIT: BTW - the 'nothing' parameter should be set a monitoring framework that is not able to be changed by any other means. It must be set to replace all other behaviors. Moreover, it would be nice to have a Visual sense that obtained research is implemented off - by activating / disabling the default text in a "white" address bar of "search or enter the address" of "enter the address / search off»

  • Why don't the awesome bar stand still? and not flop down this annoying way.

    The awesome bar is activated with a flight maneuver. If there was an option to eliminate this unnecessary action and leave the awesome bar fully engaged at all times. With dual 20 "monitors on my desk, lost space isn't a problem, are wasted and repetitive motions.

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

  • I'm having a strange problem with the awesome bar

    The awesome bar/address bar is as impressive as it used to be. When I start typing in a speech, it seems that he does check more through my history and gives a list of possible matches but gives just the stem of an address. For example, if I type in "goo" will end this at 'google.com' if I add this with a "/ has" it's going to end this to 'google.com/analytics ' but it is also good that he doesn't get, as I say, no history list or bookmarks.

    I checked the options and also about: config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly had not changed any of them when he began to behave badly). I have also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.

    It is driving my crazy, because I quite often use sites whose long addresses and keep in mind each of the components of each address. I would go with Chrome, but I also use Firebug, a fair bit so don't really want to do.

    Of the image, it seems that there is a persistent add-on. He was re-activated?

  • How can I customize the "awesome bar"?

    I just got the upgrade forced to 12 Firefox, and while I don't like for much of the new interface, I can cope. That said, I can't stand the changes to the "awesome bar". It's very distracting that it appears highlighted whenever I have my cursor on it, and I don't like that all of the text other than the main domain (e.g. mozilla.org) is grey. Is it possible to return to normal?

    You'd be able to get almost all the customizations you want via Add-ons and personas. There is a good post about that and more here.

  • How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

    Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

    For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

    Is it possible to either:

    1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

    2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

    In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

    Hi Danon72.

    To disable the 'Visit' item in the list, please edit the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in The editor of Configuration of Firefox to false.

  • I can't the elements removed from the Awesome Bar

    For the latest versions of Firefox, I always wanting to old URLS will appear in the Awesome bar. No matter what I try to delete them, they do not disappear. I did everything suggested (delete history, erase cache, reload with a version of Firefox, etc) - no luck. I also notice that when I start to type an address, there is no drop-down list that appears for me to be able to delete entries.

    I'm sure there's some semisimple difficulty, I just haven't stumble on it and after months of this, I have given up trying to understand me.
