Impossible to navigate by typing the address in the address bar

Just updated to firefox 10 and found out that I can key a URL in the address bar, but nothing happens when I hit the Enter key.

Thank you

Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

(If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Impossible to place bookmarks in the bookmarks bar.

    Have tried everything to put favourite websites in the bookmarks toolbar. But in vain. One solution was to drag the icon from the address bar, but I see only a padlock. When you try to save a site in the menu drop down and ask him to go to the bookmarks toolbar, nothing happens. Someone at - it help him?

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible:

    • Firefox menu button > Options
    • View > toolbars (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)

    Open the window customize to set the toolbar to display items:

    • Firefox menu button > Options
    • View > toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
    • Right click on empty toolbar space
    • Make sure the "bookmarks toolbar items" are on the personal bar
    • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the bookmarks toolbar, then FRY it in the toolbar palette in the window the bookmarks toolbar Customize
    • If the missing elements are in the toolbar palette then drag them from the window, customize the toolbar
    • If you do not see an item on a toolbar in the toolbar palette and then click the button "Restore default" to restore the default toolbar set up
  • Since the last update, cannot navigate a site by typing in the address bar

    Since the last update/installation of Firefox, is no longer allows navigation via typing in the address bar. Even if I type the whole address and press on enter or click on the "go to" arrow, nothing happens. I navigate to a website by Google it and following their clickable links.

    I am not n00b - clearly an error with the latest version, or an interaction/preset that gets in the way. I would appreciate ideas.

    Help articles for Firefox on the latest state of the version:
    "Web search in the address bar - when you type in the address bar and press return, Firefox takes you in search results by using the search provider selected in the search bar."

    Uh, not Firefox. Your address bar takes me precisely nowhere!

    See you soon.

    OK, I have a follow-up recommends disabling half of the addons and restart the browser - if the problem disable the other half and continue until you have reduced the guilty...

  • Impossible to navigate in the registry

    Hello

    I have 4 server environment Hyperion.

    Server 1: Oracle DB (AIX)

    Server 2: Hyperion Foundation/Web (AIX)

    Server 3: Essbase Server (AIX)

    Server 4: EPMA + FDMEE (WIN 2012)

    I was able to properly configure server 2, Server 4 but when I try to configure the Essbase Server I get the usual impossible to navigate a registry error.

    • I understand that this could be due to insufficient privileges on the schema, but I have already given connect, create view, create tables, create session, resource, unlimited tablespace to SharedServiceSchema.
    • I validated permission for where I am Setup and it's 750 on /oraessbase. This is the place where I installed. He has the permission to complete mount point.
    • I have validated the resolution of host names. They are correctly pointing to the IP address of the Service from the system.
    • It does not generate an error in the folder user_projects. Likewise, it does not create the folder epmsystem1 under this location.

    Is there anything else I should look at apart from that.

    It was a problem with the host names. On some servers/etc/hosts has no entry for DB and another had a different name. Create a/etc/hosts file with all hosts in an environment and it reproduced in all servers in this environment

  • Can not navigate using the address bar

    I can type an address in the address bar or choose from the drop-down list, but Firefox will not respond. I've updated my Add - ons, but that did not help, so I started the browser in safe mode, but the problem persists. I tried to install a more recent version, even though I was already up to date, but which has not yet solved the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for publishing and confirming a create a new profile corrected it for you.

    I have made a few posts and update most of them, but missed this thread so far. I'll uncheck the station you have chosen as a solution and mark this on the spot.

    I know that is not intuitive, but for everyone suffering from this bug, it's a problem with the bookmarks database that breaks the: address bar. address bar | URL bar | awesome bar, or anything else you like.

    Current fix suggested. (Bug 1180419 partner)
    Rename the places.sqlite file as explained in this recently revised article.

    I will post more shortly and updated information further down in this thread and edit my previous post/solution (#answer-750303)

    There is one bug fix in one of the pre versions release already, and with a bit of luck, this will be in the regular version in the next few days.

  • When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

    When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

    Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

    On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

    You can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • By clicking on the address bar or search bar and typing does not erase the previous text inside

    When I click on the address bar or search bar and start typing a new entry, it does not erase the previous text. I always have to remove it first to clear the field and then I can type in the new URL or keyword...

    OK, I found the search the on: configuration database. The problem is that browser.urlbar.clickSelects.All is set to "false". I changed it to "true" and now everything is perfect...

    Also to solve the same problem with the search bar, I changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground from false to true.

  • How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar?

    How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.

    I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.

    Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.

    Thanks in advance

    First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

  • what I'm typing goes to the address bar

    tapping on any program; Messenger, games mode window or window google chat (the one that can be opened as a separate windown on gmail); Suddenly the text is not written on the ground, sometimes there is a clicking sound, and when I press on enter, all text is displayed on the address bar of firefox as if it was a bing search engine.

    If firefox is not open when this happens, pressing enter will automatically open firefox to search bing what I was typing on other applications. If the computer its on idle, when im away from nothing, I still hears the sound form successive clcik.

    Look for the sound click on Control Panel > sounds > sounds I found is the sound of "beginning of navigation of windows.

    Do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program before (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Remove the Firefox program before installation newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • How can I disable search suggestions in the address bar when I start typing?

    Starting with the most recent version, by typing en tapant in the address bar suggests Google search in addition to suggestions of history terms. How can I change to the previous offer only my story mode?

    In addition, this update seems to have removed the fill auto the address bar at the top of the suggestion page as I type. How can I return this feature as well?

    Thanks in advance.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • Impossible, drag a bookmark to horizontal bookmarksbar (space under the address bar)

    In FF 18.0.2 there are 4 bars I can activate for use, by putting a tick in the respective option: 'menu, navigationbar, bookmarksbar, addonsbar bar. (I hope you don't mind the wrongspellings, I have FF in finninsh) When I check "bookmarksbar", it creates a horizontal blank space below the address bar. Isn't this space to quickly open frequently used pages, without the vertical bookmarsbar? Now, it seems that it is impossible to drag any bookmark to it addresses or the vertical bookmarksbar bar. There must be a reason for this horizontal blank space, but how do I use it? Or have I misunderstood this? I have searched for the solution, but have yet to see any question about it. A lot of other things about bookmarks, but not only this one. Or other person, except me, care about this thing, or so it works in other machines. Any help appreciated!

    Go to firefox > bookmarks (or press ctrl + shift + B) to open the library. Here you can move bookmarks of the bookmarks toolbar in the Bookmarks menu or unsorted bookmarks (simply by dragging and dropping them in a different location).
