How can I restore the web address page and not be directed to a search engine?

My address bar has disappeared. Whenever I want a new address and type it in I am diverted to a search engine which locates the address I have typed in. I cannot get to the preferences bar to make corrections.
I use Windows 8. All was fine until a few weeks ago when something changed my Firefox system.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help.

    In Preview, how do I remove the web address header and foot?
    Thank you
    Peter

    If you are referring to the preview of a webpage that you printed then in Safari in the Print dialog box is a tick box labelled 'Print headers and footers', if you untick this then they will not be included in the printout and also not included in the PDF version viewed in Preview.
    PS. You have to have 'show details' enabled in the Print Dialog to see the above option.

  • How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
    Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
    I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.

    Go up to the main Safari menu bar above, and select "View."
    Then when that bar comes down, select "Customize Toolbar."
    Then select the arrow icon, and just drag it into your toolbar.

  • How can I highlight a web address so that someone can simply click on it to go directly to the designated address?

    When composing an email, how can I highlight a web address and convert it into a link such that someone can simply click on it to go to the designated address?

    According to the help article ([[Hyperlinks in Messages Not Working]]), Thunderbird should convert the URL to a clickable link while it is sending the message. Can you confirm this by composing a message to yourself and seeing whether it works?

    Hi Ginette,
    The site that you are referring to does not appear to be a template that you can get your hands on, however, I will suggest that you contact the owner via their contact us page and see what can be done.

    Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but Microsoft Update couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?

    Hi Diovizor,
    Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
    Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Hope that helps!

    You can't.  (Fonts increase in size like everything else, not in height alone).

  • How can i restore safari web browser on my mac book pro?

    how can i restore safari web browser on my mac book pro?

    Backup your system/data then start up holding down Command + R and select to reinstall your OS X. You have not mentioned which OS X you are using. If you have somehow deleted the Safari App for some reason, you need to reinstall the OS X to reinstall Safari properly. You should not lose any data, but if you do, then that is what the backup is for.

  • How can i restore the contacts that were on my iphone before i synched?

    I have accidentally deleted my entire contact list/address book from my iphone while synching my iphone to the computer. It has been replaced with all contacts from other users that synch to this computer. How can I restore the contacts I created on my phone?

    I pop up in these forums perhaps 3-4 times a year since about 10 years ago. How disappointing. It seems that all the forums here are mainly quite useless. Many have like 900 views and only 3-4 replies; and these replies more often than not, are people sharing the same problem Actual solutions are hard to find. Shouldn't Apple be embarrassed about this and perhaps do something about it. Consider this one as an example. It has
    893 Views  and only4 Replies. Out of these 4 replies opnly 1 is actually a possible answer/solution, which unfortunately (as in many otgher cases) does not provide the solution needed.
