Keyboard's weird and URL disappears from the address bar

Recently, I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my computer and had to reinstall Firefox. Since the new reinstall I have two strange problems in Firefox.

1. the keyboard or keys jump a lot from the window of the address bar in FF, and it usually does not allow me to finish an entire word or phrase.

2. whenever I type in and go to a URL after the URL address charge disappears from the address bar.

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

Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

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

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing 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.

  • desertdave760 why doesn't the URL frequently disappears from the address bar?

    Thus, for example, here, this page is not the address in the address bar. If I wanted to send the site to someone, I have to go to IE (God forbid) and retype the url there.

    This happens for many but not all sites, I'm sure. He says now, search or enter the address

    It's strange. "Search or enter the address" appears if you delete the current address, but if you click in the address bar and press the ESC key it should display immediately again (Esc cancels the change).

    This text appears also with a few built-in Firefox pages, like the homepage and the new tab page. But for the 'real' web pages, you should see the address.

    In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    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

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    Also, maybe it's not relevant to you, but sometimes users have a bookmark that opens a page in the sidebar to the left in the main part of the tab instead of. The address bar displays only the address of the main part of the tab. If your Firefox seems to have a split screen (left-right), that might be the problem.

  • Calendar and clock disappeared from the taskbar

    I tried to customize the icons in the icon from the task bar, but there was no date/time from the list.  I went to the actual Date and time, but there was nowhere I could see which explains how to set the clock on the taskbar or desktop.  There's a calendar in Gadgets, but no clock, and when I went online to Microsoft, I saw the warning saying NOT to use the Gadget.

    What to do next?

    Thank you

    Hi Pam,.

    You mentioned that you are unable to find the time in the window list customize Notification icons. Before proceeding further with this issue, I want to clarify one thing here - as the window to customize Notification icons, did you click on the link "enable or disable the system icons" and check if the "clock" option is available in the list of system icons?

    If this isn't the case, I suggest you for this and let us know the status. Please follow these steps:

    (a) right click on the notification area in the taskbar, and then select the option "Customize Notification icons".

    (b) now, at the bottom of the new window that opens, click on the link «enable or disable the system icons»

    (c) you should be able to find the "clock" option in the list of system icons.

    (d) If you have the option "clock" that listed there, and then select the option 'WE' in this menu drop-down.

    (e) click on 'OK', then 'OK'.

    (f) this should display the date and time in the taskbar.

    Hope this solves the problem. If this does not resolve the issue, then please get back to us. We will be happy to help you further.

  • I can't remove a url from the address bar.

    After completely clearing on my history, cache and cookies, a single Web site remains when I down the address bar. If I mouse over it and press DELETE, it will disappear until I re - click the arrow of the menu drop down and it shows up again. It does not appear when I put the address bar to display only the bookmarks in the menu options, but it is there when I put to only show that history. Also, if I click on the url, I am unable to bookmark this particular site by clicking on the star either using the bookmarks menu (not sure if this is related). Thanks for any help.

  • Cannot submit the URL from the address bar or present Google searches

    I can type a URL in the address bar, but I can't submit the URL via the Enter key or 'go' button. I have google as my home page and I can type a search but not submit them. I reinstalled FF several times. I deleted my profiles. I disabled addons. Nothing works. I am running version 20. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy. User on the computer never has this problem.

    If you are in a corporate network environment:

    20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\greg). Currently, there is a solution for this. A solution could be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could switch to Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

    If you are in a home environment or the local settings folder, then please ignore the above.

  • How can you keep the url displayed in the address bar?

    With some (but not all) URLs of links display briefly but disappear when the page loads. (Example, I was able to capture is: < < http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/2015-news/08-20-2015-tuskegee-next-teen-flies-with-young-eagles-chairman > >)
    The address bar then return to "search for or type the address" (in italics).
    There are many who suffer from this problem (see forum "Urls are no longer visible in the address bar") but no useful responses are given, only tips to "Start in safe mode", which does not solve the problem.

    Hmm, I've not seen this before.

    Normally, I expect only the text placeholder to appear if the address bar has been selected and you press on delete or BACKSPACE to remove the URL of the page. In this case, you can press ESC to restore it. The next time you see this, you can try pressing ESC?

    There are a few different keys that can move focus to the address instead of the page bar, in which case it is a keyboard problem. These include:

    • F6
    • CTRL + L
    • ALT + D

    If you notice any pattern to it, which could help improve the diagnosis!

  • Favorites bar has disappeared under the address bar

    A few days it has disappeared from the bookmarks toolbar. It may have coincided with install me the Amazon wishlist add-on; I'm not sure. The article that I read in the help forum said right-click where is the open space and a context menu appears. When I right click, nothing happens. I tried also to open the menu bookmarks, unchecking "View Bookmarks Toolbar" and reselection, and nothing happens. Nor do restart the browser.

    Any other ideas to get the toolbar reappear where it is supposed to be?

    If the file that contains the customization of the user interface is corrupted, or one of the addons intrudes.

    to render the user interface, go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open upwards - in there remove the file named localstore.rdf - it will be regenerated the next time you launch the browser.

    otherwise if the first doesn't work, you will need to go through your extensions and disable them one by one until you find out that one is the cause...

  • Strange behavior when searching from the address bar

    Hi all! I tried to remove google as the default search provider in firefox. To do this, I did these two things-

    -Duckduckgo moved to the top of the list in the firefox search box and set it as the current research.

    -Put the URL 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q=' keyword and keyword.enabled to true.

    However, this makes my search from the location bar (single word and several Word channels) still return google.

    There seems to be something to do with the entry of google search into the firefox search bar. If I remove that, it behaves as expected - single word searches then return an error "Cannot find server" (not quite what I wanted but probably correct behavior) and several Word searches go to Duckduckgo.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem without removing the option of completely google search would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    It is supposed to function as described in this article, it seems that you have followed: search bar location | How | Firefox Help. I see no reason for the presence or absence of a plugin of search engine related. You have additional modules that could touch location bar behavior?

    You can try this: create a clean profile Firefox. Which will work around the current modules and custom, settings have fresh data bases of fresh settings and a cache folder.

    Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in the management profiles. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box.

    Change your keyword preferences and see if they work in the new profile. A little luck?

  • How to prevent access to a Page directly from the address bar

    We have an obligation to force the user to go through a pre-defined page navigation. In other words, we want then to go through Page 1, and control over this page (only), to go the Page 2 and etc.

    We do not want to allow the user to manipulate the URL in the address bar to go directly to Page 2. If they try, ideally, we would like to give them and error and send them to the previous page.

    Anyone have any ideas on how best to do this?
