My old Firefox used to show web addresses at the top near the toolbars, how do I bring that feature back where I can type in a website address?

My old Firefox used to show the website being visited and one could type in a website to change to another website. The new Firefox does not have this feature. How do I change my new Firefox so that I can type in a web address. This used to be at the top of the page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it 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 set up.

  • I recently upgraded to Firefox 4. I cannot find the trick to make Firefox 4 remember my tabs when I shut down my computer. How do I get that feature back?

    In the prior version, on exit, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 does not do that. It loses my tabs so when I open up a new session I am starting from scratch rather than where I left off at.

    Thanks for posting back, Glad it worked.
    There are the two entirely separate methods of resuming with the previous tabs. As mentioned in the first part of my message, the method you have chosen is to specifically start with the last set of tabs instead of starting with a home page.
    The other method is to (maybe more as a one off) select to open with previous tabs from either the button in the default page, or from the history menu. It is this method that previously had the question as you closed down, there is no longer the question asking if you want to save the open tabs, although you do still get the option to use them on startup. It is a more sensible method, but it does cause concern for those of us used to being asked on closedown.

  • Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

  • HT4970 does any one else miss the month at a glance that the old version of reminders had? I wish Apple would bring that feature back.

    Does anyone else miss the month-at-a-glance feature from the old version of Reminders app? I wish Apple would bring that feature back. It made it very convenient to schedule for the future.

  • My URL address bar has disappeared - I inadvertently clicked on something and it disappeared.  How do I get it back so I can type in a website?

    My URL address bar has disappeared.  I inadvertently clicked on something and it just disappeared.  Now I have no address bar to type in a website address.  Can you please help me?

  • The little search bar used to keep Google search phrase showing but in Firefox 5.0 it doesn't. How do I get that feature back?

    I'm not sure what the feature is technically called. I have Google as the start page and use that to search.
    In older versions of Firefox, after entering a search phrase in the main Google search bar, the phrase was shown next to a little Google icon. It was usually below the bar showing the URL I happened to click on.
    I could then open a new tab and click on the little Google icon and get more search results in that new tab. I could then compare web pages on different tabs.
    Maybe I have set the tabs function up differently? In any case, I hope there is a way to use the same search phrase in different tabs.
    Thanks.

    You're welcome

  • I used te be able to zoom in & out with my horizontal mousewheel but that does not work anymore, how do i get that feature back?

    I am using an A4-Tech X6-90D

    THANK YOU! So easy, now I feel stupid. ;)
    Sorry, Firefox 4.0 is driving me nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.

  • I have been using Firefox for years. When I downloaded the Firefox 20.0, I can type in my hotmail address, but my hotmail won't open.

    I am able to type in the address bar, but when I hit enter, nothing happens. And I don't like using Internet Explorer. This happens when I try to acccess my hotmail account. I never had this problem with other versions of Firefox.

    We are aware of issues using the address bar. A push to fix the issue will be made in 3-5 days. In the meantime since your issue is a little different that what we have you can try safe mode.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This doe not accure usingg IE 8.0 with the same printer.

    Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This problem also occurs with the web page on which this question is submitted. This doe not occur using IE 8.0 with the same printer.

    These have nothing to do with Firefox.

    This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.

    My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''

  • Firefox on my wife's laptop has lost the black bar that used to show Maps, Gmail etc. Now at the top of the screen there is a blank bar, triple height, with just the Google search input box. How do I get this back? Or is this a question for Google?

    When I open Firefox there is a black bar, sometimes vertical, other times horizontal, across the top, with links to Maps, Gmail etc. When I open Gmail the same links are listed across the top of the screen, right under the Tabs. In my wife's laptop this appears in the Firefox start-up screen, but not in the Gmail screen. At the top of her screen is a super-wide gray bar with just a Google search input box. Is this a Firefox or Google problem?
    She has XP Home SP3 and Firefox 9
    Thanks for any help.

    What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.

  • When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

  • I inadvertedly changed a setting where the top of my screen no longer shows the apple logo in the top left or the clock and wifi status and strength on the top of the screen, how can I get it to show both of these things again like it used to?

    I inadvertedly must have changed a setting where the apple logo and files and things that used to be in the top left corner of the screen are no longer there as the clock and wifi status and other installed settings used to show up in the top right hand corner of my screen.  When I move my mouse to the very top of the screen they drop down but when I move my arrow away from the very top of the screen they both disappear again.  So I was wondering how can I get it to revert back to the way it used to be?  I hope this isnt confusing.

    I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue   Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar.  Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

  • From time to time Firefox will not allow me to scroll down a web page, when I scroll down it will jump right back to the top of the web page. Any ideas?

    Sometimes when on firefox when I try to scroll down a web page it will immediately jump right back to the top of the web page as soon release the mouse button. When it starts happening it will do this on all open tabs on all web sites.
    Just closing Firefox and reopening it does not help, only way I have found to fix this is to reset my computer.
