• Cannot use the address bar to search or go to Web sites

  I can't type in an address such yahoo.com, press on enter and do go to yahoo.com. Nothing happens. I click on the arrow, nothing happens. I try to search in the address bar and nothing happens. Something off? Blocked? security implementation?

  Thank you

  Sometimes modules can 'break' when a new version of Firefox is available and cause strange glitches in the user interface.

  Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any difference?

• When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is pre-set to 10 copies. How can I change this default single copy. Thanks for any information

  When I use the printer, in the upper left corner icon, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I want only default copy. I can change it to one, but when opened, he's back to 10.

  Number of copies to print is not a parameter that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I've never seen a preference for this in Firefox preferences panel hidden - about: config.

  Try of the reset described here and reset all the preferences for this printer:
  
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
  Be sure to restart Firefox before you see if doing this reset solved your problem.

  If it solves your problem, please click the button solved it next to the answer that meets or solved your problem of Firefox support, it appears when you are connected, so this thread is marked as solved to help other users who may have this same problem.

  If that does not solve your problem, and defaults to always print 10 copies of everything through Firefox, please open help > troubleshooting... information and use the copy to the Clipboard and then paste this information into the box post an answer here.

  It's going to be a real long list, but all that I really need to see is the printing preferences, so you could paste all the information in a program such as WordPad text first, change the information that I can't see and then copy the remaining information and Paste only the information in the box to answer here.

  I wonder if there might be a pref I've ever seen, but I really doubt it. "Number of copies to print" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I've ever used with any printer / print drivers.

  The only time I've ever seen a default "print dialog box" more than 1 copy has been with a working application where the program has been to force 2 copies of specific forms to print 2 copies all the time--one to give to the "subscribed" at the end of employment for their documents to the service call and one for the 'employee' obtain a signature at the end of employment with a fax in the Home Office for documentation of the task as completed successfully and for the purposes of the payroll while they would have paid for this service call.

• I had fixed the Screengrab add-on and it works in 10.0.1 but 10.0.2 was disabled and I can't get it back.

  I really enjoy this add-on, found that I can't live without it. I have followed this matter since Firefox 8.0 and found that same "Compatibility Reporter" is now non-functional also with 10.0.2!

  The add-on WORKS FINE! It's just a change of text on the maxi version, which is the issue. How I have Firefox of the STRENGTH to accept it? Is there an entry in the subject: config I can change?

  When I try to 'Install module file' I get "Screengrab could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 10.0.2.". It was compatible for three weeks running in 10.0.2 after the 10.0.1 to 10.0.2 upgrade and then today when I started Firefox, he was gone and the add-on Manager was a button Delete, no option toggle available! I got to thinking I might just put it back. I can't.

  Turn on where can I get 10.0.1 and go back to it [and never go again!] I tried http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html but it doesn't seem to be what I need, it's just 3.6. * and I don't need to go back too far.

  Worst of all. I have Firefox 10.0.2 on a PC under Windows 2000 Professional and is still working with screengrab 0.96.3 fixed!

  I managed to install the extension of a file after going in: config and extensions.getAddons.cache.enabled deactivation (toggle-> false true).

  If I turn it back on after installing the extension, tools-> Add-ons-> Extensions displays an error "Screengrab is incompatible with Firefox 10.0.2", but he continues to work as expected.

• Search in the address bar

  When you use the address bar to search Firefox automatically chooses the Web site he thinks is the best and opens the page. How can I stop this from happening?

  The address bar is powerful enough for the search as it is. His behavior is editable, and you can even on the fly restrict to certain categories.

  • Search the Web from the address bar
  • Awesome Bar - Find your Firefox bookmarks, history, tabs in the address bar

• How do I change default search engine in the address bar?

  I know that in previous incarnations of Foxfire I could use about: config and change Keyworld.url to change my search engine default. I recently reset my Foxfire because I had problems with the original site and now it is set by default to Google. I don't want to use google. How can I change this? I don't want a search bar, I don't want to make a difference in a search bar. I want to just the address bar to work the way I have always worked it for me before. Can someone help me?

  You can change the search provider from the search bar that is automatically in Firefox by clicking on the arrow pointing down and put in service of your choice.
  

  If you want a custom search engine, you can access this Web site, click the arrow and click on "Add < custom engine >. Example below:
  

  If you don't want the search bar, you can "hide" it view by clicking on the button 3-bar menu, go to 'Customize' at the bottom, and then dragging the search bar in the box features and additional tools .

  Once you change the search engine in the search bar, you can hide the search bar and search using the address bar with the provider you have chosen in the search bar.

• use a search engine in the address bar

  Hello

  for one or two years, firefox has had an update to change the search parameters.
  Before that happened, we used to use the address bar of google-search and use of the search bar for individual searches like imdb or in some cases use of keywoards for individual research via the address bar. The 'new' - versions of firefox (I guess it was the update 23 FF and all the following versions) replaces the browser.search.defaultsearchengine whenever you change the engine in the search bar. In this way, the two bars of Act quite the same when it comes down to research. It took some time for the (German) supportpages update to this new behavior, but now that this has happened, there is still no clue how to change it back to the old settings, where the search bar is the search and address bar only led to a search via google, when it was necessary.
  So how can pick us up with a search engine in the adressbar again without going through the embarrassment of having to choose the search bar engine?
  I couldn't find useful information or plugins and 'Smart search' and 'Keywords' are no option for us.

  I would really appreciate help with this.

  Thanks in advance

• Is is possible to reduce the address bar size AND also delete the google search bar at the same time?

  Basically, I want to delete the google search bar that I didn't need. but when I do the address bar is getting too long.
  From there I want to reduce the size of the address bar, but I don't know how, does anyone know how to do this?

  If you want unusable space: right click at the right end of the address bar. Click Customize. Drag the icon of 'Space' where you want the space. Repeat as many times as necessary. (To cancel, drag the spaces to whence they came.)
