• After reset my Firefox is no longer opens web pages automatically when I type keywords in the address bar. How can I fix it?

  Before I reset my Firefox I could any words in the address bar and Firefox would redirect me to the Web site. For example, typing ' reservoir dogs, imdb "would redirect to the film's IMDB page, and type a random sequence of characters would take me to (for example) a website of a company that uses these characters as an abbreviation of his name.

  I never put this option anywhere, it was just like that for quite a long time. Now, this possibility came to me and I can't seem to fix it.

  I use Mozilla Firefox 21 laters.

• Tags are not when you type a keyword in the address bar

  Already when I typed a tag in the address bar - bookmarks Tags would be present. Now very rarely this happens to you and instead the engine search terms search appear.

  To search for tags/keywords, I now have to open bookmarks and search in there. Very annoying... it sucks big time. WTF happened?

  Thank you Joe

  You can add a space and a + to search for tags in the address bar.

• 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.

• Using only the address bar can have a drop down of google search results has not been visited webistes

  I would like to see my search results in the address instead of the results bar previously visited (if possible a mixture of both), I just wondered if their was anyway to do it, without using the mini search bar. Thank you!

  I think that for now, you need an add-on to display search suggestions below the address bar you type, if I interpret correctly your question.

  • Here is an example of an add-on that shows search suggestions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/omnibar/

• Typing or choose the page address in the address bar does not load until a page click on 'green arrow '.

  For some reason, Firefox stopped responding to the ENTRY in the address bar. Also choose a drop-down list page history does not to load.
  In short, to open a page I have to choose or type the address and then click the green arrow. Why? He was always sufficient to press ENTER or select with the mouse.

  This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Hello Ron.

  Those who are called accidents or CTDs (clear for desktop). There are several possible causes for this:

  1. defective extensions: start Firefox in safe mode to disable all extensions and see if the problems percist. If they are not, try to disable your extensions, one at a time, to see that it is that you difficulties.
  2. defective plugins: disable all plugins that you don't need. The normal user only get a PDF, a plugin, Java, Shockwave and Flash plugin.
  3. the anti-virus settings or firewall: in theory, it is possible that some antivirus or firewall are set in a way that Firefox crash in certain circumstances. NOT browse the web without an antivirus and firewall running and up to date, but make sure they are set to not impede the use of Firefox.

• How to select all the text in the address bar when you open a new tab

  I changed browser.newtab.url to a Web site with links, that I often use. Now, I have the problem that I don't always want to use one of these links. So when I start typing in the address bar text simply add the URL of my site. The problem would be solved, if the text in the address bar is activated every time when I opened a new tab (I could press each time crtl + of course, but I usually just type)

  Is there something in the config, I can change or an Addon?

  I had this same problem, but I was able to remedy this by installing this add-on:
  
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

  After the installation, remember to go to add-ons, Extensions; Click on the Options button; and select the development of space in the URL bar.

• Why, when I type in the address bar and select from the drop-down list, I seem to "click on" on one of the toolbar buttons?

  I noticed recently that, sometimes, when I chose an entry in the drop-down list after I started typing in the address bar, I would get a different page than I wanted to. It turned out that I was actually clicking the bookmarks toolbar button that has been hidden under the list entry, I thought I was clicking.

  Hi, thanks, but disabling hardware acceleration does not fix it. However, I just swapped my mouse, and seems not to happen anymore!

• How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

  Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

  Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
  Remove the Yahoo toolbar

  1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
  2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
  3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

  Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

  • Search Google (Google search results page)
    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & q =
  1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
  2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
  3. filter by keyword
  4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  5. filter on defaulturl
  6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  7. filter on ytff
  8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

• 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!

• 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
