my search bar (22 FF) has suddenly become unusable; hitting enter does nothing (now get only toward sites via links and bookmarks)

I am a FF user for a long time. Now uses version 22 (which seems to have updated from 18 in itself even if I had it to ask me before the update - but 22 2 has worked well for me once I had solved the problem of screen being so great he hid my menu at the top and tabs). Now, all of a sudden, just in the last week, recording a (valid) url in the search bar and pressing on enter "does not" do anything. No search functionality at all because that hitting enter does not cause FF take any notice of putting me in a URL for a site that I want to go to the (I use the same sites over and over so not only some new site acting upward).

Not my keyboard or mouse is defective; they work as usual in other programs I constantly use - email, database of inventory - and no update or the other program, in Word, Excel, NotePad, my photo program, what that is. Security Essentials last updated a week ago, but I can't see inside to see if it changed anything. Am a XP Pro user and update (until next year, at least!). Keyboard is a real Elite Force, the change (wired) mouse. Have used for a couple of years is therefore not new to me.

Only way that I can use 22 FF in the last days to get to "any" site, including mine, is to spend on websites pinned to my screen open or my favorites. I tried unpin some sites on my logon screen and then type in their URL and pressing on enter but which has not changed anything - the search bar is always unusable and hit "enter" doesn't do anything.

So why my search bar did stop working? Is there a solution?

Hi aaabooks

You are running Firefox in compatibility mode?

You can open the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut via the context menu and check under the tab "compatibility".

Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See "create a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • How to choose a new search for the search bar engine which has not been yet registered?

    I want to search the English-Greek dictionary Woodhouse search bar, that I can't find. How can I get a?

    First of all, download this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/

    After Firefox restarts, go to http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/Woodhouse/

    Place the cursor in the field where you can type in a query and then right click and choose "add to search bar." You should now be able to see in your list of search engines.

    An another add-on is to have is this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ it helps to highlight a word or phrase in a web page and then right-click and choose to search for any search engine you have installed including the English-Greek dictionary, you add. See screenshot for an example.

  • Why my favorites automatically displayed in my browser bar as soon as I start typing "www"? If all the sites I visit and bookmark can be seen by someone who may just be my PC while I / us up?

    If I have "www.gambleitall.com", stored as a bookmark and I go to my departure from browser bar type www...all my favorites (including www.gambleitall.com) will appear. But these aren't the story. Bottom line... a bookmark should not appear in the browser bar simply because the site you enter contains corresponding letters as your bookmarks. Lack of privacy.

    If you have visited a site referenced, then it will become history.

    You can change what you want to see in the location menu bar dropdown:

    • Tools > Options > privacy > address bar: when you use the location bar, suggest: history, bookmarks and bookmarks, nothing

  • Thunderbird has suddenly become strange; for example, no tabs or enable menus as "Tools"; someone at - it help him?

    Today when I opened TB I'm greeted by the Home tab (which usually, I see only after an upgrade) and I can't get in my Inbox by right-clicking on "Inbox" in the left pane and open it in a new tab, I click on see (because the Home tab remains visible until I do that). Menus 'File', 'Tools' etc. open their fall to the bottom, but elements do not work, even if they are not actually grayed out. Immediate functions such as 'Write' Nothing doing. Real emails open as usual, but if I click another folder in the left pane (as opposed to right click and open in a new tab), nothing seems to be happening as I said earlier, but if I move the cursor over the tab apparently unchanged show emails, the messages disappear under the cursor - probably because they are not in the newly selected folder. I find that windows will not uninstall TB in order for me to re - install. I find that the case of uninstall in TB has no program uninstaller inside. I deleted all the files in the Thunderbird folder (even if windows will not let me delete the folder itself) and re-installed TB from Mozilla manually, but it has exactly the same thing. That's happened? Thank you.

    OK, just to say goodbye. now realize that "safe mode" offers the possibility to make Add-ons more permanent "remove". Now everything is back to how it was before the start of mayhem. Either by the way, this may have had something to do with an update of Mozilla which have integrated a calendar with TB facility, although it creates no problems immediately.

  • Two days ago Windows 7 Pro has suddenly become non-genuine

    Two days ago, I started having a window informing me that Windows 7 Pro on my laptop is not valid. I ignored it, thinking it was just a fluke and would solve itself. There is, unfortunately, no.

    I bought my laptop on eBay a few years ago. The COA reads as follows:

    Windows 7 Pro OA

    Lenovo Singapore

    X 15-53895

    and my product key. I confirmed that the product in use key is the same as that on the certificate of authenticity.

    I followed the instructions on this article http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/getting-error-code-0x8004fe22-stating-windows-is/b42a0ab8-0e75-484f-901e-79ae206b4c12

    The window is now gone, but in its place is the next on my screen (bottom-right):

    Windows 7

    Build 7601

    This copy of Windows is not genuine

    As I continued to work on this issue, I realized that I now also have the same problems as others have described in the article https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/be3ed187-8ad9-41c8-aab4-3c8a4c81fb48/windows-activation-service-sluiexe-does-not-run-when-started-error-0x8002801d-please-help?forum=genuinewindows7

    I.e. Windows Activation Service (slui.exe) does not work on startup. 0x8002801D error.

    I crossed the fundamental Event Viewer logs and determined at least when this problem happened first. This is the first instance of anything related to the activation failure.

I want to remember the passwords for some sites and continue to see the reminder, but I don't want that to hide part of the page.

    Hi willy of San Jacinto.

    I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.

    Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:

    If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.
