Since the last update, cannot navigate a site by typing in the address bar
Since the last update/installation of Firefox, is no longer allows navigation via typing in the address bar. Even if I type the whole address and press on enter or click on the "go to" arrow, nothing happens. I navigate to a website by Google it and following their clickable links.
I am not n00b - clearly an error with the latest version, or an interaction/preset that gets in the way. I would appreciate ideas.
Help articles for Firefox on the latest state of the version:
"Web search in the address bar - when you type in the address bar and press return, Firefox takes you in search results by using the search provider selected in the search bar."
Uh, not Firefox. Your address bar takes me precisely nowhere!
See you soon.
OK, I have a follow-up recommends disabling half of the addons and restart the browser - if the problem disable the other half and continue until you have reduced the guilty...

Also my windows taskbar is hidden, forcing me to minimize firefox to move to other open programs (firefox goes full screen), and my bookmarks toolbar refuses to show below the address bar. All this was well before the more recent update.
You probably accidentally entered the mode full-screen. Press F11 to exit.

Since my last update, I don't have a button "renew page. How can I get it back?
Since my last update to the current version of Firefox, I don't have a "Page renew" button in the toolbar at the top of the browser. I couldn't get it back.
Is this the same button to reload? He moved at the end of the address box, the right star. It is now moving to a three-way Stop, order Reload: loading a page, it must pass on a red background with an X. Then replace with an arrow to recharge once the page is loaded. Once you start typing a new address, it turns into green Go button.

Since the update to 28.0 typing too many address in the address bar has no effect.
Updated to 28.0 31/03/2014. Nothing happens when I have too much to type the address in the address bar and press ENTER. Cannot access that tied to the breast of the web pages or emails, or addresses marked with a bookmark.
First check your Firefox search bar works well and that it is set to a reasonable option. Many users probably doesn't realize that search bar search engine is used for all searches from Firefox now, including the search from the address bar.
Of course, this does not affect anyone with Firefox 28. It's actually a rare problem, and I don't know what is the cause. All I can do is suggest a process of elimination.
If the problem is that after the update it must still be another factor involved.
No antimalware product is perfect. It is always worth trying to sweeps multiples and up-to-date anti-malware tools.
Try test following a process of elimination (probably the best in this order and check after each step)
- In safe mode and with all plugins disabled.
- A new profile. Or reset Firefox.
- A clean reinstall

That is to delete the contents of the folder program Firefox. (NO profile)

Sometimes modules can 'break' when a new version of Firefox is available and cause strange glitches in the user interface.
Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.
If Firefox is running: 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
and OK reboot.
Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Any difference?

Web sites cannot remember in the address bar, despite the AutoComplete is set correctly
Sites Web is not remembered in the address bar, despite the AutoComplete feature is set correctly. It's very frustrating. Can someone tell me why this is happening, please?
Make sure that we are talking about the same thing. AutoComplete is to complete the forms.
I think what you want is Options > privacy > Location Bar >... suggest nothing is probably what you are. Place in history/bookmarks as you wish.

Safari. cannot type in the address bar after software 9.0.3 update today
Hello
I've just updated Safari to 9.0.3 this morning.
Now I find that I'm unable to type a search in the address bar. Or type in anything, by the way.
Normally, clicking in the address bar would like to point out what is there and he would remove a return back and I could type in a new search.
I tried to restart the computer.
Anyone any idea of it please.
Joshe

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

How to prevent the address bar to view the same site twice
Since your 43.0 update, whenever I type in a URL, it first shows me "visit [site]" then "[website]" by itself directly underneath. It is redundant and was not here before and I don't like it much.
For example, when I type "t" in the address bar, it shows 'visit tumblr.com'first, then tumblr.com se below. How can I stop to say "visit [site]" and just display the site itself, as before?
It is a new feature in the latest version of Firefox. To disable this feature, follow these steps:
- Reach
about:config
- Press the I'll be careful
- Locate the
browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
Boolean - Change the value by
false
Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

Very recently, my Firefox has changed. I used to be able to start typing, say, 'www.google.com' in my location toolbar window. This would provide a drop-down list of recent sites, and I just click the line "www.google.com". Firefox would immediately take me to this Web site with a single click.
But now if I click on the line 'www.google.com', it simply puts "www.google.com" in the location toolbar window, do not send me to google. I have to press the arrow to the right of the address bar to go to the page of google.
Thus, something changed last week - maybe a setting has updated? I looked at the options page and can't seem to find something that applies.
Hello
Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

Everything was going well until I refreshed Firefox. Since then, the address bar does not work. If I type in a website or attempt to use the drop-down menu to access a previous site, the site loads but does not "join the service or go the arrow." It is used to automatically load, now it won't load at all! I am running Windows XP
