Why don't the awesome bar stand still? and not flop down this annoying way.

The awesome bar is activated with a flight maneuver. If there was an option to eliminate this unnecessary action and leave the awesome bar fully engaged at all times. With dual 20 "monitors on my desk, lost space isn't a problem, are wasted and repetitive motions.

Disabling the extension, the Fox, but better 1.1.8 seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for any help in pointing me in the direction to consider extensions as the culprit.

  • After the upgrade to version 9.0, why the text in the Awesome bar is gray and a part of the text is black?

    Some of the text is grayed out in the Awesome Bar, this page is grayed out except for mozilla.org is black. It is present on every page.

    The beginning of new behavior in Firefox 7 is to highlight the area (i.e., mozilla.org) in the address/URL/location bar for easy identification.

    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about: config

    1. type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    2. If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)
    3. Filter = browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
    4. Double-click the pref in the lower panel of toggle it on 'false' OR , do a right-click on the pref in the lower panel, then choose "Toggle" switch it on "false."
    5. close the topic: config tab

  • the Awesome bar opens with all: home. Is this normal

    The Awesome bar opens with the words
    topic: home.
    This concerned me because it reminds me of the hijacker
    Subject: white that infects a computer sooner that I owned.
    Withdrawn ok but concerned me at the time

    This is the default home page in Firefox 4.0.

  • The awesome bar in FF4 does not display the URL of the previous page visited the current.

    The awesome bar to view the URL of the visited page, given that the upgrade to 4 FF is no longer the fact. It displays the URL of the first page visited say a goodle search so if you navigate to another page or return to the search results, it continues to display the URL of the old or none at all.

    A few possible causes. There may be an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4 the cause. For details of how to troubleshoot see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    The URL does not update can also be caused if there is a problem with the file that stores the browsing history and bookmarks. To see if this is the case, open your profile file, for more details on how to find this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    Now, close Firefox and places.sqlite and rename it places.sqlite.old. If there is a file called places.sqlite - journal you can remove it. Restart Firefox and it will recreate this file, import bookmarks from a backup, if browsing history will be lost. Now check if the URL changes.

  • Why scroll to the low bar appear sometimes and other times it disappears? Never had a similar problem with Android.

  • Why don't the auto scroll of snagit does not work in firefox version 3.6.8 if it can be fixed

  • Stop Search Suggestions in the awesome bar

    Google is my default search engine. I followed the instructions to disable Search Suggestions in Firefox 13. Unfortunately, this seems to work if I search from the search bar. If I am looking in the awesome bar, that I prefer, search suggestions are always displayed. Prevent search suggestions from the Awesome Bar as well? I can do this in Google Chrome - please tell me I can do it in Firefox!

    The way to do it in Chrome is enter the following URL in your default search engine:

    https://www.Google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = %s & btnK = Google + Search

    I don't see a way to do this in Firefox 13. BTW, the above URL also prevents Google Autocomplete and Google instant.

    OK, thanks for the clarification - you can enter Subject: config in the locationbar and search for the preference named keyword.url. DoubleClick and assign https://www.google.com/search?hl=en & full = 0 & site = webhp & q = - this should also redirect searches from the address bar of firefox version of google without suggestions.

  • I don't get the Awesome Bar suggestions...

    If I type something in the awesome bar, it is not give suggestions. I tried safe mode, but no change...

    I use Firefox 4.0.1 but I also had the problem with 4.0 and 5.0 (beta).
    I use Windows 7 (64-bit).

    Disable "AVG Safe Search", it causes problems of location bar as the ability to use 'Enter' can be a symptom of many other problems such as accidents and crashes. It is listed in the extensions problematic - MozillaZine Knowledge Base , and it must be stuck in the block list. You must follow the instructions to reinstall "AVG Free" without the "Link Scanner" component so that it will not continue to be a problem with the new profiles or new versions of Firefox. Compensation for the "AVG" antivirus version has an option to disable the 'feature '.

    Don't know if that will solve your problem, but try it first.

    Safe mode would have stopped the extension so it's not the immediate problem.

  • How can I erase the Awesome bar?

    I followed the instructions provided by Mozilla.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    No matter what I do, if I type in the bar location... also called the address bar... also called the Awesome bar... should have been called the useless bar... old sites Web will show that I have not visited in more than a year.
    Even if I clear my history every day.
    Yes, I select AS my calendar.
    Yes, I click AND DOWNLOAD the HISTORY of NAVIGATION.
    Still, whenever I type anything in the bar of Useless, old sites Web is suggested.
    How can I erase this and never make it do this again?
    How can I get the guy who designed the bar pulled Useless?

    (On another note... why I have to provide a password of eight letters at least 1 number? If I want a weak password, MY risk. What do you care? Also, if every Web site requests a password of eight letters at least 1 number you are actually makes it easier to hack because I am limited on coming up with new personal passwords for me since I have to remember and you make it so complicated.)

    Hello

    To disable the address bar to not display search history results. You can do this by going to Firefox-> Options-> privacy and select the option that says: "when you use the location bar suggest" and set it to "nothing". I have attached a screenshot that might make it easy for you to locate.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I customize the "awesome bar"?

    I just got the upgrade forced to 12 Firefox, and while I don't like for much of the new interface, I can cope. That said, I can't stand the changes to the "awesome bar". It's very distracting that it appears highlighted whenever I have my cursor on it, and I don't like that all of the text other than the main domain (e.g. mozilla.org) is grey. Is it possible to return to normal?

    You'd be able to get almost all the customizations you want via Add-ons and personas. There is a good post about that and more here.

  • How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

    Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

    For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

    Is it possible to either:

    1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

    2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

    In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

    Hi Danon72.

    To disable the 'Visit' item in the list, please edit the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in The editor of Configuration of Firefox to false.

  • Cannot remove the awesome bar history

    So I completely wiped my browser history, several times. But I always /all/ of my story in the awesome bar, which is just super aggravating. What can I do?

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • The 'Awesome Bar' does not work. He does not remember anything of the bookmarks

    Just updated again Firefox. In the past, when I'd start typing a site in the firefox address bar it would complete as it was already in my favorites. But now it does nothing. It just sits there waiting for me the full address. I could start typing Netf and it automatically end Netflix.com

    Why is happening. Also, for the first days of the new version I had to go back in the tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they finally remained as I wanted.

    I would say he never remember history and after while I would look and he said, do not forget history. I wanted a blank start page, and not to change it. It's normal now but the Awesome Bar does not at all.

    Your bookmarks are displayed in the drop-down list auto suggestion?

    Otherwise: Under Options > confidentiality, in the lower part, does always show that Firefox should suggest bookmarks in the location bar?

    If auto-suggest works but the AutoFill does, you may check that it has not been disabled here:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste autofs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If browser.urlbar.autoFill preference is "BOLD" and "user" false, double-click it to change its value to the default value true. It should work in new tabs.

    It already is the value true, hmm, I wonder if there is a problem of private browsing? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing).
