• Unable to open the address bar websites

  Can I open links from the home page of firefox, so it can be sure that the connection is OK, but when I enter a Web site in the address bar, it accesses a page with 'unauthorized request' text; to the source code, it is a simple text and not a HTML page which gives no idea where this response page is generated. In the error console, it reads unable to read "C:/.../chrome.manifest".

  This sounds like an add-on may have had broken somehow.

• Outlook Express 6: can't open the address book

  All OK when the computer was turned off last night, Outlook Express now has the message "unable to open the address book. The address book may not be installed correctly "." I can also now send messages.

  I tried to reinstall IE8 on homepage without success.

  Help please.

  One of those should look exactly like the one you use. You can use one of the others? If you can, you have to export it to the desktop and then import it into the new identity. If it looks good, remove the other walid that you just found.

  In one of the ABs you found: file | Export | Address book (wab) on the desktop. Then, open the address book in the new identity and file | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where it was saved.

  Reset.

• When you open a new window, it automatically loads the last content pop up (?) and I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

  I don't know if they are technically pop-up windows (for example, if you perform a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new window of priceline.com with the search results), but that happens with Blocker on or off. Other examples are a little info to a financial site window or .edu, which opens a session is about to expire, or answer a FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows have an address bar or view a URL). In any case, once these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of this "pop-up". Whenever he does, I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in this window.

  How can I fix it? What I want is to open a new window which is empty, not load the previous contents.

  No, I just realized that I was holding Command-Shift-N rather than command-N

• Firefox automatically clears the address bar and leaves the cursor in the address bar whenever new web page is open

  whenever I have open a new tab, or open one of my favorites in an existing tab or new, after a second or two, the address bar is completely cleared, and even if I clicked on a new text box or you press the space bar to scroll, I believe that it would start typing in the address bar. It started just past today after I restarted my computer.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• How can I return search box in a new tab? When I open a new tab, it is only to show the address bar.

  When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.

  I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.

  I have attached a picture of your understanding.

  I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.

  user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.

  • Background info see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file

  Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.

  In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.

  Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs

  • Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
  • Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
  • topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc

  You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).

  It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.

  First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
  For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start Firefox

• When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

  When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

  Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

  On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

  You can open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

• How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar?

  How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.

  I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.

  Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.

  Thanks in advance

  First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

• Firefox opens only the websites via the url link, don't even try to connect via the address bar.

  I can only open Firefox Web sites by using a url link. If I try to type something into the address bar it not even trying to load the page, no circle of loading, no error or no connection message. I'm on youtube.com and I type in Google.com and tape INPUT. Nothing happens. Nothing. I hit the key twice in the same direction. I can open new empty tabs, but cannot get the address bar to work. I can right-click on videos and make them properly open in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
  Internet Explorer works perfectly fine however. Despite the announcements.

  I've updated reinstalled disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, has not done jack diddly squat. If anyone has an idea of what's going on here, I would highly appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Try clicking on tools-> Options-> advanced-> general tab uncheck the box "Use Hardware Acceleration..." ". You have the entire module as avg safe search installed?

  Hope that helps.

• How can I open a new tab and enter automatically in the address bar and not in the Firefox search engine?

  When I open a new tab I see Google search smooth with large beautiful Firefox logo on the top center of research, and makes me automatically type in this research. Is there a way to automatically enter address bar when a new tab is opened? Just moved to Firefox and it's quite annoying.
  Thanks to all the advice.

  Looks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
  2. To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
  3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
  4. In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.

  Otherwise,.

  1. Custom installation tab.
     • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
  2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
  4. The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.

• I can't type in the web address in the address bar. I have to open a new tab to do.

I can not type the URL in the address bar when I start firefox. I always have to open a new tab before it let you me. I can't highlight and copy what is typed here - also, AND I can't "paste and go" more. That open disappeared?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
