Select the URI address bar

I use both systems, at work and another at home, they are all two Windows XP SP3.

At work, when I click once on the contents of the location bar, the full URI is selected. However, at home, it takes several clicks to select the entire line. Is there a configuration option I can twist or a registry hack? My preference is single-click to select the entire line.

There are two available prefs to set this behavior:

I prefer to choose all with a double click, so I can use a single click to set the cursor to a specific position, if I want to modify or copy a part of the URL.

To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

  • When you click on the name in the address book - email address looks different in the email address bar and can not be sent - why?

    I've been using thunderbird for a few years - in the last month when I tried to send e-mails, I have a problem with some of them as part of the email address changed when I insert it ino the address bar and has quotes around the first part of the address before the @. I tried to remove the addresses and re - insert them but the same thing happens. If I go to the address bar and delete the commas that the email is sent - can I overcome this problem without having to enter each email? I send emails to many people and change each one who has the problem takes a lot of time. Not all e-mail addresses has this problem. Many thanks - Tim

    The space is not evident.

    The most common and probable cause is you copy paste the email address.
    This can very easily copy paste an empty space and empty spaces do not appear as an easily detected error. But this is the only scenario that I found which produces the question you had - incorrect address Contact framed by double quotes around part first - pre @ but the blue link is good.

    It does not occur if you have an e-mail address is sent to you in an e-mail and you use the left click on the email address and select "add to address book".
    It should not happen if hand typed unless an error is made.

  • Homepage is fine(full Menubar) when I opened a new tab that the menu bar disappears as well as the ability to scroll disappears. all I have is the above address bar

    In the past I've always had my open pages in a new window and not in a new tab, but it is useless if I can't see the entire page because I only have the address bar, and I can minimize and expand or close the page. There is no scrolling up and down. Now, I have to go to my office and open a new window and paste the address in order to get a working page. I even went up to uninstall and delete the Mozilla in programs, redownload and install, but I have the same problem.

  • Is there a place in the help menus which provides the names of all parts of the Firefox page, for example the toolbar, address bar, etc. ; If this is not the case, can you give us?

    When you use help I find references to the address bar, toolbar, Bookmark Tags, etc and still do not exactly know what areas these terms make reference to the Firefox page. I tried to find a guide, nothing helps. It would be very useful if help section has been that, if it isn't already.

    I found this page, but it is a bit outdated.

  • How to remove "search with google" on the link address bar?

    In the last update "firefox aurora", I now have a little awkward accommodation that opens with all the usual sites, I'll and he says: Google search.

    Or more accurately, it is said that after that I start to type any word in the address bar. It is quite annoying. I use firefox/aurora because I hate google chrome to do the same shit.
    If I want to search with google, I'll go to google.com as I always do. I don't have an option obvious sell-out google it just to annoy the hell out of me when I need it 98% of the time.

    Now, is there anywhere in the subject: config or any other way to remove this annoying nuisance?

    Or if not, a way to downgrade to the previous version which is not only addition. (I don't really like on 'security risk' Please do not give me that excuse)

    I'd rather not have to go and use internet explorer if I do not, but if I'm stuck with this annoying thing, I prefer to use the very crappy browser something that will annoy me always.

    Nevermind, it fixed.

    Or update that just happened to be doing the work.

    Old firefox (-28) allows the join tab bar and the bar of address together, saving space.
    Help the new kill version (29) who is not the feature and even classical Restorer theme.

    Please allow to move the buttons/address to the tab bar, because now Firefox eat all my precious screen space.

    With Classic restaurateur theme installed, I have no problem moving items to toolbar navigation on the tab bar (see the attached screenshot).

    If you encounter problems with this add-on, you refer to the thread support on third-party MozillaZine site.

  • I want to merge the window address bar and search with the menu bar in order to avoid a really stupid design feature that the last "update" forced on me. How can I?

    The boring latest Firefox update separated the menu bar and address two bar and moved the address bar below my tabs, nor what is logical or useful and wastes space. How can I combine them?

    Christopher,

    Sorry, there is nothing for Mozilla to 'fix', the new UI Australis works as expected. I'm not satisfied with these changes, as a number of talented developers who have spent a lot of time creating extensions to correct that some of us don't like the new UI.

    This door extension on most of the changes in the new user interface, and what it does not there can be an extension separated for that, too.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

    To meet these specific issues that you mentioned in your first posting, the menu bar is not really necessary to have on the screen all the time. If you hid it, you can press Alt to only show. In addition, many of the main menus on the menu bar are available from the button Menu to open '3-bar "; something new for the user is to become familiar with.

    It is always possible to personalize then move buttons to toolbar on the Menu bar, if you want to display the Menu Bar all the time.

    The menu bar and address bar have always been distinct by default, but unfortunately the ability to "Customize" the address bar (on which the address bar is a part of) has been considerably limited compared to previous versions of Firefox.

    Regarding the location of the 'tabs band', he called "The tabs at the top" and was already the default for some versions of Firefox. This Museum is the hidden preference (browser.tabs.onTop) , which allowed the user to turn off this preference.

    These two extensions add this pref in versions of Firefox 29 +:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/fdgueux-tabs-on-bottom/

    Just as the Restorer of classic theme, but without the other proposed changes to the CTR.

    In closing, Mozilla has made studies on how Firefox users using Firefox, and how they have changed the Firefox; the results showed that a minority of users changed anything about Firefox. And a super minority of users of Firefox went as far to change the user interface, like the poster in this thread we're talking.

    I am part of this "great minority", I tend to 'customize the hell' of Firefox. And I'm working on a solution to many changes, while avoiding the use of extensions when possible; Although my solutions do not involve change "Tabs at the top", which is a change, I welcomed in Firefox 4.0.
