Why focus/cursor selects the address bar when you click in a new page?

This happens all the time, but most of the time... When I browse a site by clicking on the links, whenever a new page load the address bar is chosen to start typing. When I go to scroll down (using the down arrow/page keys) he'll scroll rather recent page URL in the address bar, instead of scrolling to the bottom of the page.
Looks like this behavior just started today...

To be clear, that's not something to do with the tabs, pages open in the same tab by clicking on the links at left will also affect the cursor to the address bar.

I don't think I'm in safe mode, I tried to reset firefox and this still happens. If this does not work as expected, can I disable it?

You open links in the same tab?

This also happens if you click the link to open the link in a new tab?

Have you checked for problems caused by plugins?

In the Firefox Safe mode, these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (subject: addons)
  • Default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbars is used (localstore file - safe.rdf)
  • JIT JavaScript compilers are disabled (subject: config page: javascript.options. * jit)
  • hardware acceleration is turned off (Options > Advanced Options > general)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

  • new url appears in the address bar when you click on a link

    There is a particular question, that I just noticed. Since upgrading to FF v4.0 RC1, it seems every time I click on a link in a Web page or in a google search (even open a bookmark link), when the new page opens, the url of the new page does not appear in the address bar. Instead, the url of the previous page still shows in the address bar.
    If anyone else has noticed this?

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

    A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

    Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

    You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
    Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

  • 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.

  • How can I get the default value of the cursor in the address bar when I open a new tab, rather than the cursor by default a search engine text box?

    Using Firefox 17.0.1 and then I XP

    Firefox does by default. You probably have an add-on installed that changed the focus of the cursor in the URL bar of the search bar.

  • Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

    When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

    In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

    Try this:

    1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
    2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
    3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
    4. now, choose the entry of moving.
    5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
    6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
    7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

    I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

  • No text at all in the address bar when you open a new window

    After update (last 2 I think?) currently 16.0.2 worm, when I open a link in a new window, there is no text in the adressbar. The reload or bookmarking a page like this does not work because the address is empty, I have to open the properties page copy the link, paste it into the address field and go to the page. He can not find any info on how to restore the previous working state. Present address in new tabs, links in the same window, etc.

    It's weird. Couple questions:

    Does it matter how to open new window, for example, if you (1) right click > open link in a new window, (2) shift + click the link, or (3) there is a pop up generated by the page?

    If you right click on the content of the page, the menu has a submenu 'this framework', which would indicate that the page is framed?

    Where this is caused by an add-on, a standard Diagnostics in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try the Mode without failure of Firefox.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then restart Firefox in Mode safe (questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode) of Firefox help

    Help > restart with disabled modules

    In the dialog box, click "start mode safe."

    If the site is working properly, it points to one of your extensions or custom as the problem settings.

    To disable the plugins and extensions, you can try here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > Plugins category

    Hello

    In the url, the private settings should be placved after the otherparams keyword:

    http://server.../frmservelt?config=MY_CONFIG&otherparams=the_param=the_value&...

    The list of parameters is not used in this case.
    These parameters must exist in your form modules to be used via the: PARAMETER object:

    Declare
      value varchar2(100);
    Begin
      value := :PARAMETER.the_param ;
    End;

  • 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
