• How can I fix my Location Bar Search please?

  My husband downloaded some stupid Facemoods toolbar (it is USELESS with computers!) I have now deleted of my Add ons and programs, but it still affects my location bar search. I tried to go in keyword.url restore its configuration of default Google but it is already enabled by default and it is yet to come with this stupid toolbar search. Any ideas that I can do to fix this please? It drives me crazy.

  In case you need a deep cleaning, the security of the software Spybot Search & Destroy (Spybot S & D) is also supposed to clean up after Facemoods. This post describes the manual steps that it automates probably: Guide manual removal for Toolbar.Facemood - Safer - Networking Forums I have not tried it myself.

• location bar search does not properly

  Hello. I use FF 10.0.2 the address bar does not work correctly. two questions:

  1. When I type in the loc bar, I get a list of suggested sites, but when I select one, rather than open the page it just doesn't insert the http address in the search bar. Then I need to click on the arrow to go to the web site. Links selected in the search used to automatically open bar.
  2. smart key does not work. I have a few pages bookmarked that I have assigned a keyword. Unfortunately, when I type the keyword in the search and then bar press enter nothing happens. I need to type the keyword and then click the arrow for the keyword work. Until I upgraded to FF 10.0.2 would have opened the relevant Web page after typing the keyword in the search bar and pressing on enter without extra clicking.

  Someone knows how to fix these problems?

• Search returns no locations

  I changed the location of all my folders for user data to another partition to the default location (C:\Users\) and removed the second partition.

  Now when I do a Windows search returns the results OK, but in the location now gone! How to reset indexing so this search returns the correct location?

  Hey, Gordon b..,.

  Check to make sure that each entry in the following location of the registry are pointing the correct partition on your computer:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER dossiers\

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  If this does not help, you can check if a new user profile has the same problem as your current user profile.

  If the new user profile does not have the same problem, you can consider moving your user data in the user profile original to the new user profile using a process similar to the steps in the link below:

• Search by location bar goes to my internet service provider instead of search engine selected in the search bar; Why?

  Using Firefox 26.0 for openSUSE 12.3

  I disabled the keyword in the address bar search, because instead of results research of the source selected in the search bar (google), my string input sent to my internet provider, a kind of impasse, unproductive page 'web search' without any result.

  I had typed in "ezsniper' in the address bar. After you disable the keyword search in subject: config, my string entry took me to ezsniper.com, which is better than the impasse page Charter.com

  I put my addresses DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS)

  The problem is not to breed, but is stopped before I did the DNS change. Charter Communications seemed to allow a way to disable the 'service' who had ignored my browser/preferences, so that he could... I appreciate the answers, doubt that Charter will get another chance to again divert the DNS.

• Add separators to location bar entries?

  I've recently updated to the latest version of Firefox and have spent the last days to make him look and work as I want (or at least close to it), but there is something in particular that is bugging me. Return on FF24 and earlier versions, sites inscribed in the history of the location bar are separated by pale gray lines. At FF38, there is no such separators. Should not be a big deal, but it is difficult for me to differentiate between different sites on the list quickly. I tried searching through various options and I checked some add-ons as Restorer of classic theme, but I did find something that will do what I want. Is it possible to recover these separators?

  I also wonder if it is possible to switch to this button inside the address bar and not to the right of it. I'm used to so it is to the left of the arrow of the menu drop down and I keep bad clicking now that it has been moved.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  There is a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is placed at the right end of the address bar.

  • STOP button: during the loading of the page
  • Reload button: when the page load is complete
  • Print button: when you change the contents of address bar

  Note that you can middle - click on the Reload button to duplicate the current tab in a new tab.

  Another possibility is this code:

  .autocomplete-richlistitem {padding-top:2px!important; padding-bottom:2px!important}
  .autocomplete-richlistitem:not(:first-child) {border-top: 1px solid #ddd !important}
  .autocomplete-richlistitem[selected="true"] {border-top-color:transparent!important}
  

  To highlight it, you can use code like this if you wish;

  *|span.ac-emphasize-text {box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px 1px rgba(0,255,255,1)!important; background-color: rgba(0,255,255,0.2)!important;}
  

• My address bar search has changed and it's really annoying.

  Hello.
  Today, my firefox has changed something in the address bar search system.
  Now the first link it provides is for "popular sites" or your partners no idea but it's boring as hell.
  He destroyed all my combinations of site search...
  When I wrote normally shortcuts like 'pwn' 'kol' 'da' for my sites now the first link provided to ask me "want to pwn/kol/da search in google? Dailymotion? »
  No ffs I don't want that. If I wanted to, I would use the search bar.
  I tried to fix it but can't find it in the normal options and won't play with the config of my own.
  Where I can it turn off? I can't stand it.

  You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion to visit the location bar page menu drop-down.
  Note that the sound is not really new, but it has now enabled by default in Firefox 43.

• I can't remove a Location Bar Autocomplete entry

  When you try to follow the steps to remove an item from the location bar AutoComplete list, as shown here:

  http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/search-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs-awesome-bar#w_removing-AutoComplete-results

  I encountered a problem interesting - the entry does not appear in the drop-down list, so I can't scroll to it, much less delete it.

  This is the case. My University has a mail to mail server. < ermergerd! > .edu. Until yesterday, typing'm ' or 'ma' or... you get the idea... would be seized semiautomatic at this address. Randomly, today, he decided to "mail.google.com" as default. Which sucks, because I used to just type me ' and 'enter '. It's particularly annoying because I am sure that I never actually went (by typing in the address bar, at least) "mail.google.com" because that "gmail.com" is much less typing. It is not my favorites, and it does not appear in my story.

  Completely erase my history isn't really an option in this case. It doesn't matter why. If the absolute answer is completely 'clear history', I'll learn to live with it. But I can hardly believe that there is not an alternative.

  I have the screenshot proof, but apparently does not include. I'm sure that this would not help, because it shows as "mail.google.com" autocomplete, as ".edu e-mail. < homeworkislate >"is the first on the list, and 'mail.google.com' is not found.

  Thank you

  I see you have Gmail Manager & installed Greasemonkey addons. Do you have one of them installed recently? One of them may be the cause. My money is on Gmail manager. In the case of Greasemonkey, maybe you added a userscript which adds sort mail.google.com to the address bar? You can try to disable Gmail Manager addon first then restart Firefox and see if mail.google.com is gone. Otherwise, disable Greasemonkey then restart Firefox and check again. There may be still one of your addons like google-No.-tracking-url , although I doubt that one is responsible. But you never know. You could also test with all the addons disabled.

  To turn off all your addons:
  
  Firefox button > help > restart with disabled modules

• Address bar search does not work

  When I type keywords in the address bar, it is used to return a list of google search results. He returns now, "the address is not valid. I know that I can use the search bar of google search, but the ability to search for keywords directly from the address bar is my favorite number one of Firefox and I want to.

  The problem started after I got the keyword. URL parameter in topic: default config after malicious editing on some Russian site search/spam, which also added a bunch of unnecessary links to my bookmarks bar. This is the second time that this happens, no idea how, but the first time that I fixed it the address bar search began working again immediately.

  I have not installed any new plugins or addons recently.

  I checked that keyword.enabled is set to true, and the keyword. URL is empty, what are the default settings. Are there other settings that might have been changed/what I should change to make it work again?

  You can try this add-on to see if it cures it: SearchReset

  If this isn't the case, you could use this keyword. URL, which seems to be the default in Firefox 14 (just, based on what I receive under a search):
