When I save a file (using "Save as" in Firefox) on the Office the address bar reads: file:///C:/Users/Name/Desktop...how can I fix it?

Hi Goldie,

1. not the problem only occurs when you save the file in Firefox?
2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

I suggest you try to save the file using Internet Explorer on the desktop and see if it works.

If the problem is with the shortcut of Firefox, then I suggest you to post.

  • 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.

    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

    The second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you 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.

    I'm on windows 7 64 bit and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and then disappears. I did some research and found that the default theme is the cause. I installed a different theme and the problem goes away and that's why I don't know the root cause.

  • Firefox prompts to save passwords of websites. The key to the Password Manager icon appears on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window asking if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions

    I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...

    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).

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

  • How to change the address bar of search engine uses when you type in the search for something that is not Google

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    Hello

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
    2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
    4. Double-click the item that appears.
    5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).

  • When I call a file in firefox, the address bar inserts a backslash (\) before the name of the file and it does not load

    When I call a bit files in a backslash is inserted during the loading of firefox (http://razorbackpark.com/%5Chole17.htm). Therefore it will not load. If I manually enter the file in the address bar, it loads very well. How can I fix this behavior?

    Hi LTCreations, glad to hear that worked. It seems clear some cobwebs that cannot be offset by other menu items, but I have not studied precisely the difference.

  • How can I increase the size of the address bar? When I use the zoom of the icon of the tool, it only increases the size of the screen below the address bar.

    It is difficult to read the address bar in Explorer.  How can I increase the size of the address bar?  When I use the zoom tools icon it only increased the size of the screen below.

    You talk about the size of the text of the elements of windows.

    But the question was about the SIZE OF the INTERNET EXPLORER ADDRESS BAR SIZE.

    It is very difficult to use the address bar now when it 12-15% of the width of the IE.

    To change the TI: right - click on the bar next to the tabs. the drop - down menu select "show tabs on a separate line.

    That's what concerned, imho.

  • 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 close the drop-down menu that I get when I right click on the arrow to the left (to the left of the address bar)? EXHAUST used to do.

    When a tab has a bit of history associated with it, the back and arrows forward near the address bar (IE lefet) opens this story of tabs when clicked.

    But, I can't close this pop-up history.

    In the past, hitting escape close this window. (firefox 14). Now (firefox 27) ESCAPE does not close the window.

    How to close this window?

    (I want to do this via the keyboard and NOT BY SIMPLE CLICK a RANDOM place on the screen.)

  • Firefox only allows 4 Web sites to save in the address bar. How can I change this?

    My menu bar dropdown location used to be able to hold as many sites that I wanted to and it was convenient power drop and click on a site rather than constantly typing the address of sites that I frequent. A few months ago after an update (I don't know which) the address bar has begun to limit my addresses to 4 in the bar. I looked in the preferences options and online and I can't find someone who had the same problem who knows a solution. I am running version 7.0.1. Thank you.

  • Since the last update for FF, I have not been able to use my return/enter button when you type in the address bar. Help?

  • After downloading Firefox 4, when I type something in the address bar that he used to go directly to the site, now it goes to google. How can I change this back?

    For example: I could type 'facebook' in the address bar and it would automatically take me to facebook.com now he takes me to google.com and shows me the search results. I want that Firefox take me directly to the page as before I installed Firefox 4.

    I hate this new feature. Here's how to disable if:

    Come on in "subject: config" in the URL
    type in 'keyword' in the filter bar
    Locate the property "keyword.enabled.
    Double click on it to make sure that the value is set to FALSE

    eventually Firefox will take you directly to a Web site when you type in, instead of doing a search for it. Know that, if the word that you type does not lead to a Web site live while you're not going nowhere.

    To counter that, for example, if you want to go to Facebook.com , but don't want to change anything in the settings of Firefox, hold down the 'Ctrl' on Windows when you enter a URL. Which will automatically add the ".com" at the end of any word you typed in. Note that this adds only the ".com" and will not automatically recognize ".edu", ".gov", etc.
