In earlier versions, the URL bar had this feautre where you can type in some key words or phrases, and it would take you to relevant directly, much like Google "I m feeling lucky" site feature.

• The URL bar AutoComplete feature does not work correctly, does anyone else have this problem?

  I was running version 9.x and had this problem, so I've just updated to 11 of Firefox, but it does not help.

  The problem is that the URL bar doesn't let me type a new address in some cases - preferring instead to refer to a previously visited address. It would be better if I gave an example:

  I'm trying to access a site, that I have not visited, for example holden.com.au

  I type 'h', and the URL bar suggests that I go to my Hotmail login page (the URL for that starts by of ') and the rest of the extreme Auto (so now I'm in the situation where I have an address in the bar from '). This means that I can not continue to enter the address provided.

  Can it be fixed or is it just a question for me?

  I solved this problem by going to: setting up and activating/deactivating the browser.urlbar.autoFill layout. I think the default setting has been changed in a recent update.

• Safari closes when you click on the url bar

  Hello

  Here's my problem: when I click on the URL bar (where the url for websites (or name) is written for ex right now: Apple Inc. is written in green.)  Safari closes and gives an error message and asks me if I want to send an error message I did to Apple. I can open Safari again, and if I click on the url bar, it closes, and continues to go. He had yesterday, started having the problem this morning, that I did the last update, so my software are all updated, but the problem persists.

• Suggestion of domain in the URL bar

  This new feature of the 43 version, as shown in the image, is not very useful for me, because I am more often than not visit a page on a site, instead of the domain of the site itself. Whereas before I would just have to type a letter and press ENTER, I must now hit the down arrow and click on enter. I know this isn't a lot of work, but these things annoy me. Is there a topic: config to get rid of this new behavior change?

  Hmm, interesting. The first item on the list, which for me is preselected, seems to provide information on what will happen if you press enter or click the Go button. For example, if you have the URL bar auto-complete enabled (which is the default value), a corresponding site is displayed. If you disable the feature AutoFill, you could get an indication that will search in Firefox for the characters you typed. I have attached the screenshots contrast for reference.

  I think that if you want to use an item in the list, you must always press the arrow pointing to the same number of times as before.

  If you do not want this visual cue, it can be removed by disabling a preference, but this preference may have other important aspects that would be also disabled, so be on the lookout for unexpected changes in the behavior of the bar, and let us know there are problems.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste URLB and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to true to false

  Who help me?

  Alternatively, you can probably use a custom style rule to hide the explanatory entry, but I have not dug into that yet.

• Refresh/Stop button is missing from the URL bar in 27 FF.

  My position only bar shows 'bookmark this page' and the history of drop down menu on the right. He used to have a button that switches between refresh and stop depends on whether a page was currently loading, which is gone.

  It happened after restarting FF to install an add-on. I don't know if updated FF to update at the same time; He could have. I am now on 27.0.1 and I had installed HideMyAss, which installed its own toolbar button, and also the refresh and stop buttons were no longer in my URL bar, but now they were separated from the buttons in the Navigation toolbar.

  I can't go back into the URL bar. I uninstalled the add-on, I tried drag-and - drop the buttons on the URL bar and I tried to 'Restore the default game' in the toolbar customization dialog. None of these work.

  Thanks Diego!

  The problem was these lines of Localstore.rdf:

     <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#nav-bar"
                     collapsed=""
                     iconsize="large"
                     mode="icons"
                     currentset="unified-back-forward-button,urlbar-container,reload-button,webrtc-status-button,stop-button,downloads-button,lpt_lastpass-compact-btn,window-controls,social-share-button,tp-notification-popup-icon,pilot-notification-popup" />
  

  compared to the localstore - safe.rdf, which was:

     <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#nav-bar"
                     currentset="unified-back-forward-button,urlbar-container,reload-button,stop-button,webrtc-status-button,bookmarks-menu-button,downloads-button,home-button,window-controls,social-share-button" />
  

  This is probably the entry:

     collapsed=""
  

  saying Firefox not to collapse the buttons into a single. I deleted all the lines with the exception of leave and everything was back to normal.

  Thanks again.

• Stop coming google results after attempts to use the URL bar!

  I just installed the latest firefox and am angry. I used to be able to grasp things in the URL bar and firefox would direct me to the relevant Web site, no questions asked. I could type, for example, 'BBC world news' in the URL bar, and after knocking entered, I would be on the site of BBC News world. Now, "bbc world news" by typing in the URL bar gives me some GOOGLE RESULTS! Why? I search Google. What I liked about Firefox, it's that he could send you to the websites you wanted to go and all you have to type keywords... I can't go to a page of search results for NO REASON. How to do this job properly, as formerly?

  'No useful response', note.

  When you went directly to a web site, which was also a Google search, there are three different searches Google listed in the article, and each is described, choose the one you want, I think that all three of them or something similar with labels of Firefox has been used by Firefox.

• Is there a way to remove the changes to the URL bar, specifically information from State and URL target?

  For starters, I totally despise changes to the URL bar and the removal of the status bar. In order to stay with the latest version of Firefox, I try to recreate the look and feel better than I can.

  I have already installed the extension of the State-4-Evar. The only thing left is to delete the status information and the URL target of the bar.

  Y at - it none of the parameters of topic: config that will allow me to make these changes?

  EDIT: The State information can be removed by activating / deactivating. status4evar.statusInUrlBar. always looking for a way to remove the URL target...

  Copy the following code in userChrome.css below @namespace seems to remove the links that appear in the overview.

  @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
  
  .urlbar-textbox-container {color: inherit !important;}
  .urlbar-textbox-container-children {opacity: 1 !important;}
  .urlbar-over-link-box {opacity: 0 !important;}

• Get rid of the URL bar

  I see how I can do 'Add to home screen' with my application. Once there, he launched properly, but the URL bar of the browser always displays. Is it possible that turns off?

  On an iPhone, the HTML for this is

  Hello

  No this is not possible.  If you want to see a feature like this in a future version of the BlackBerry browser, please submit a feature by the Developer Issue Trackerrequest.  This will allow others to vote or contribute their comments, which will help EXFO to determine how to give priority to the request.

  As a backdrop: a feature that is provided by the native browser application and not the underlying rendering engine. Only browsers that explicitly provide this feature will support, rather than those who use the same rendering engine, such as WebKit.

• Cannot run javascript via the URL bar

  https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/questions/871548
  I suffer from this, the solution to use a bookmark works however I want to know how and what changes prevent the use of the URL bar for such things.

  Sometimes the Firefox will respond to it being pasted into the URL bar and sometimes it won't. It doesn't seem to be any logic behind it where my question.

  Edit: and just for the love of him, not really important but how do make you links mailto always open in a new tab?

  JavaScript runs with different levels of access rights. When you type something in the got, it recover without access rights (main Null - from Firefox 6 see question 876916), you can do almost anything. A bookmarklet runs with page access rights, so it can make more like alert ('hello') etc. JavaScript that runs inside an add-on has full power and can do anything 'chrome privileges.
