When firefox displays the address bar URL is no longer there. So I cannot contact all sites

• Firefox takes the address bar in the search bar.

  Every time I do a search on Google, I start typing, and all of a sudden, my text stops to appear in the search bar and begins to appear in the address bar. This also happens when I'm looking at YouTube, and when I try to copy a link in the 'Sharing' tab on a video, it automatically jumps to the address bar. Firefox seems to think that it is now Google, I guess? It does only on Web sites run by Google.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Returns to the home screen when I press the address bar

  Whenever I press the address bar - to check the address to type in a new - the browser returns to the home screen "Awesome." I would have preferred just the current site until I have actually navigate away from him.

  Ugh. I would prefer a home button or something. If I change my mind, or was simply check the URL, now I have to wait for the page to load again.

  Thanks for the info. At least now that I realized how to display the URL rather than the title of the page, I run into this problem less.

• When I use the address bar to search for, I redirected to a Web page called 'startpins '. Ive tried several malware removing applications, but none have set it

  It seems there will be no solution on other forums. And I can't trace anything whether it's relevant to this site in my computer

  Hello pan903, you can try to install the addon Search reset , or manually reset the url search engine by typing on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), seeking the preference named keyword.url and right click and reset it to its default value.

• I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

  Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1

  It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

  And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

  Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

  Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

• How to display the address bar which is buried in the top of the page?

• After typing the web address in the address bar I can no longer just press on enter for the webpage to load, I have to use the mouse to select the arrow at the end of the address bar

  I downloaded the latest version of firefox and since then when I type a web address in the address bar, I can not only support on enter to get onto the site I want, instead, I have to use the mouse to point the arrow at the end of the address bar and click it.

  Driving me crazy! Never had this before!

  Which may be caused by the add-on AVG safe browsing. Disable this extension if you have it installed.

• Strange behavior when searching from the address bar

  Hi all! I tried to remove google as the default search provider in firefox. To do this, I did these two things-

  -Duckduckgo moved to the top of the list in the firefox search box and set it as the current research.

  -Put the URL 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q=' keyword and keyword.enabled to true.

  However, this makes my search from the location bar (single word and several Word channels) still return google.

  There seems to be something to do with the entry of google search into the firefox search bar. If I remove that, it behaves as expected - single word searches then return an error "Cannot find server" (not quite what I wanted but probably correct behavior) and several Word searches go to Duckduckgo.

  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem without removing the option of completely google search would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  It is supposed to function as described in this article, it seems that you have followed: search bar location | How | Firefox Help. I see no reason for the presence or absence of a plugin of search engine related. You have additional modules that could touch location bar behavior?

  You can try this: create a clean profile Firefox. Which will work around the current modules and custom, settings have fresh data bases of fresh settings and a cache folder.

  Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in the management profiles. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box.

  Change your keyword preferences and see if they work in the new profile. A little luck?

• upgrade to firefox after 8 no matter what url I enter in the address bar will not work.like there is no active connection, or an address to go to.dead bar.also I find my recorded history links will not work.

  Windows xp pro. This means that my files are corrupt? so even if I wanted to return the old version of firefox my story will be bad?

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/bookmarks+not+saved#w_places-database-file

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

• Is is possible to reduce the address bar size AND also delete the google search bar at the same time?

  Basically, I want to delete the google search bar that I didn't need. but when I do the address bar is getting too long.
  From there I want to reduce the size of the address bar, but I don't know how, does anyone know how to do this?

  If you want unusable space: right click at the right end of the address bar. Click Customize. Drag the icon of 'Space' where you want the space. Repeat as many times as necessary. (To cancel, drag the spaces to whence they came.)

• When I have a link on a page, the page successfully loads, except the address bar still displays the previous URL.

  To develop - I speak no navigation in the frames. Any link on any page simply does not update the address bar URL after loading successfully.

  I have also experienced this since beta 4.

  Perhaps there is a problem with my profiles folder, really, I don't want to wipe it down.

  Probably caused by an extension you have installed, as perhaps AVG Safe Search?

• I can't remove a url from the address bar.

  After completely clearing on my history, cache and cookies, a single Web site remains when I down the address bar. If I mouse over it and press DELETE, it will disappear until I re - click the arrow of the menu drop down and it shows up again. It does not appear when I put the address bar to display only the bookmarks in the menu options, but it is there when I put to only show that history. Also, if I click on the url, I am unable to bookmark this particular site by clicking on the star either using the bookmarks menu (not sure if this is related). Thanks for any help.

  Operating system

  Vista

  places.SQLite could have been corrupted.

  Since it sounds like you already emptied, try to locate and rename/delete places.sqlite in your profile folder.

• Since the installation of the last update of iOS on my iPad I'm unable to type in the address bar of safari. I can access the Web sites of my favorites, but when I try to enter a new address safari closes its doors.

  Since the installation of the latest update on my iPad, I'm unable to type a new address in the address bar of Safari. I can access the Web sites of my favorites, but when I press the address bar Safari closes its doors.

  I reset holding home and power button at the same time. I did that 4 times. I also left all the settings.

  I am also unable to access the server from imessage. I don't know if these two things are related, but the two that happened after the update to iOS 9.2.1

  Since this announcement, I found a Reddit thread that suggests a temporary solution by disabling Safari suggestions. It worked for me.

• When you look in the Explorer, there are hidden folders, but when you type the location in the address bar, see the files/folders

  Personally, I am frustrated to discover file that are currently hidden by vista.

  For example my temporary Internet folder located in my Temp folder

  If I open Explorer and browser to the Temp folder is empty - no doubt.   It doesn't even have a drop down menu arrow to indicate that the Temp folder has all the data inside.

  But if I type in the Address bar D:\Temp\Temporary Internet folder, it will appear with all internet data inside the it - except for the index.dat file.  The index.dat file does not appear, even if I have a cleaning program story who insists he's here...

  Subsequently, if I close the browser and reopen it in the Temp directory the temporary Internet folder is still invisiable.

  I checked and rechecked all over the place and the cant "find any feature that dictates why this file is hidden and not accessible to me.

  If anyone has any ideas about this phenomenon?

  What worries me the most is that I (as most people can have too) have hundreds, maybe thousands of records.   Now, I wonder what are those who also hid Vista.
