Safari search/address bar of copy to URL problem

This has been a problem for about a year, I think that, maybe more, even if I don't specifically remember.

I often use search/address bar of Safari for searches on the internet, probably 90% of the time.  Sometimes, I want to share these search results with others.  The problem is, when I click in the address/search bar to select and copy the URL of the site, I visited, the URL is replaced with the search parameters that I had previously placed instead of the URL of the site that I actually visit.  It is not that this all the time, but very often.  Now that I'm trying to replicate, I can't, even though it took place just 20 minutes ago.  I was finally able to recreate by opening a new Safari window.  It is perhaps connected to tabs how do I open in the window?  Here is a screenshot.  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

Try a reboot.

Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

Isolate a problem by using a different user account

If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • iOS 9.2.1 - Safari crashes whenever you press search/address bar

    If you open Safari on iOS 9.2.1 and tap on the search/address bar, the browser blocks instantly on the home screen. This verified on 3 iPhone units, 2 iPhone 6 and 1 iPhone 6s, all the updeted to the latest version of iOS is therefore certainly an iOS bug 9.2.1. If you open a tab "private mode", the browser works very well.

    All affected iPhones, I tried, are running iOS with the language set to Italian.

    Have you seen this bug? Solutions? Clear history/cache does not seem to solve the problem.

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  • Search address bar still search via the engine chosen in the search bar

    I think it started right after the installation of Firefox 23.0.1, before which a search in the address bar would always search Google.

    Basically enter a string in the address bar will do the same thing as the search bar. If the search bar is defined on Wikipedia, in the address bar search Wikipedia. If the search bar is set on Youtube, it will search Youtube and so on.

    When I have about: open config and I change my search bar engine (using the bar drop-down menu, which is the browser search), these two values change for this new search engine selected: browser.search.selectedEngine and browser.search.defaultenginename. Their status is "user-set" FWIW.

    Note: When you install Firefox 23, I got two Add-ons installed that touched the search bar: organize search engines 1.7 and Add to Search Bar 2.0. Since then, I have disabled the two Add-ons, and it has not changed anything.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Hello, is it possible to make Firefox copy non-Latin URLS in the address bar in full instead of encoded in percentage?

    When I copy a url in the address bar in the clipborad and paste it elsewhere, it is truncated. This is particularly annoying when trying to someone send a link to a non-English wikipedia article (or other sites with the "descriptive" URLS.) is there a way to disable this option?

    To avoid that you can place a character like a '-' to the far left of the address bar and select the URL without leading the hyphen.

  • new url appears in the address bar when you click on a link

    There is a particular question, that I just noticed. Since upgrading to FF v4.0 RC1, it seems every time I click on a link in a Web page or in a google search (even open a bookmark link), when the new page opens, the url of the new page does not appear in the address bar. Instead, the url of the previous page still shows in the address bar.

    My address bar does not work properly in safari, I can't click on it and enter the address manually, which is quite annoying. I deleted the plist of safari in the library but still no luck. Found a temporary solution to http://osxdaily.com/2016/01/05/fix-safari-freezing-address-bar-use/ that is to disable the functions of smart search which solved my problem, but is there a way that can solve the problem without disabling these features?

  • Search bar default changes setting address bar search

    In the past, I usually kept my search bar on IMDb, since I use that a lot, but I do Google search even more often, so I just type Google search terms into the address bar and hit < Enter >, which has always worked well. It was like having two bars at once, research which was totally awesome. However, having just "updated" Firefox about an hour ago, it now appears that selection of search from the address bar is now linked to the selection of the search bar. When I do a search with the address bar, search that results will invariably to whatever the choice lies in the search bar. I tried to go to topic: config and "reset" the setting of the browser.default.enginename, but he instantly changes to change the setting of the search bar. Please separate the address bar and the search bar back to the way they were before. It is extremely annoying.

    Additional information:

    I just drove my computer where I'm headed back with Firefox 22.0 and immediately corrected behavior itself, which only confirms that there is a problem with the update to the worm 23.0, so I guess I'm stuck 22.0 for now. I also see in the 'What's New' notes for worm 23.0 that ' users can now switch to a new provider of research through the browser everything. " It would be nice if the change apply to 'the whole browser' was optional.

  • How to make default in the address bar of research follows the selection of the top search bar right

    Hello

    at the time, my default firefox location bar search engine is dynamic, it always follows the preferred search engine on the right upper search bar

    but I clicked some ads in accident, and just go wrong

    my default address bar search engine always uses google, back then, it searches in wikipedia when I use the wikipedia on the top right search engine bar even when I'm just typing "firefox" to search in the address bar, it will be automatically redirected to wikipedia search for "firefox".

    TL; Dr., how can I make a default address bar search engine follows the search engine in the search bar?

    Thanks for your attention

    You can now move on to the beta version of Firefox which is Firefox23 already.

    Don't know exactly what your old configuration were able, but whatever happens and in the near future it must always be easy to change the right hand search bar to use the various search engines.

    At some point in the future there are possibilities the search address bar may be combined and there is also the possibility of a new system of Search-tab under development.

  • Is there a quick way to copy a path of file to widows Explorer address bar to an e-mail as a hyperlink?

    I can copy a folder path and paste it into an e-mail on outlook. However, it is as text and not as a hypertext link, is there a way to quickly copy as a hyperlink. without the right click on the text, the hyperlink and him then browse through the files to create a new hyperlink.

    It should work the same way.  If the folder is on a network drive on the server, you can click in the address bar to copy/paste.

    It's in your e-mail program to see if this link becomes "clickable" or not, but even if they don't click, the recipient of the e-mail can just copy and paste the link.
    • Tip: You can also hold SHIFT while you right-click on any file or folder, and the shortcut menu displays a "Copy as path" option secret.  After you-as-path of the copy, you can paste it into your email application.
    • Extra tip: Microsoft Office (work, Excel, Outlook) can convert paths in links, but only if the path starts with \\something or http://something.  If the route uses a drive letter (for example, W:\Something) he did not become a link, because the recipient of the email may not have that same drive letter (or it could be a totally different player with the same letter.
    • Extra Bonus tip: If the path contains a space in there, type in quotes.  After you type the final quote and press space, converted to a clickable link and even automatically remove the quotes.  For example, type this into an Outlook email, quotes included, and then press the SPACEBAR:

      "file \\server\folder\some with spaces.doc name.
