Address Bar Gone???

Dear Users, my address bar disappeared so I can't enter a URL. What do I do?

Hi
Drag the circled item to the toolbar (position it towards the right side). Then, select "done".
While you're at it, you can drag any other icon to the left side of the toolbar. Some users like to keep the toolbar simple (few icons). Others like me - the "sky's the limit".

"customize address bar" gone from View

The customize address bar selection under view is completely gone. I have removed com.apple.safari.plist and restarted the computer with no luck. Any ideas how I get it back. I have downloaded the latest updates if that makes any difference. Thanks, Lee Anne

Hi Lee Anne
Which version of Safari are you using (Safari Menu>About Safari). If it is 2.0.4 (419.3), you can install a fresh copy of the application following these directions:
Thanks to Andy Ball in this forum, a simple method now exists for reinstalling Safari.
First, go back to your regular user account. Open Safari and go to this site to obtain a zip file of Safari. On this site page, select "free", then on the following page you'll need to wait about 30 seconds for the target site options to appear. Select one of them, fill in the "alpha/numeric prompt", and the file will download.
Once the download is completed, quit Safari. After the new Safari folder is mounted on your HD, go to the Finder and move the Safari.app to your Applications folder, selecting "replace" to overwrite the existing Safari folder.
Go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions".
Restart Safari.

Tabs and address bar gone in fullscreen

What happens if you hover the mouse to the top?

Does it has effect if you toggle the browser.fullscreen.autohide to false on the about:config page?
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Where is the address bar gone?

there is no address bar in the last couple of versions of firefox ? not on permanent display anyway and i want them.

'''See item #2''' in the following and also display the Navigation Toolbar
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
If you are in Full Screen Mode, toggle on/off with F11. Even in Full Screen mode you can move the cursor up through to top to see the menus, or use Ctrl+L to have entry access to the Location Bar.

Where, O where, has my address bar gone? (And how do I get it back?)

My location bar has disappeared. There is only the search bar. I want two separate bars, not one. How do I get back my location bar?

You have the Classic Theme Restorer extension and that makes the Navigation Toolbar work differently.
You can check the settings of this extension in its Options/Preferences in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions.
It is also possible to hide the Navigation Toolbar when CTR is installed and enabled.
Make sure all toolbars are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*if missing items are in the Customize 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 Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
You can try to delete the xmlstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.

Website icon in address bar gone!

Where is it gone? and how do I re enable it?

I've just switched back to 13. There is no reason for Mozilla to change all this stuff on us. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

My address bar at the bottom of the screen has gone. How do I get it back?

I find it invaluable to know the addresses as they're loading - I don't know why it's disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Alternately, when you hover over a link, the address of the link now shows up on the right end of the ''actual'' address bar instead of at the bottom of the screen.

My address bar is gone. How do I get to show up at the top of each page? I thought I was deleting a link and it deleted the address bar instead.

My address bar was accidentally deleted from the top of each web page. I thought I was deleting a bad link but instead deleted the whole address bar. Need advice. Thanks.

View: Customize Toolbar.....
Drag address box BACK up into position....

First I realized my Google bar, in the top right hand corner of the home page, is gone... but now I can't even find an address bar. So if I want to put in a website address, there's nowhere to put it. Can anyone help?

I think I said everything I needed to in my "Topic" comment. Thank you for any suggestions

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I'm not running 10.5.8 and it's been a while, but in your browser (Safari, right?) click on the word 'View' in the top menubar and you should see 'Show Toolbar' right at the top, as well as other choices. Clicking 'Show Toolbar' should restore your 'address bar' back to the way you expect it to look.
Some websites purposely open a new window without any 'distractions', such as to play video clips. If you close the original window, you can be left without the familiar tools.
'Customize Toolbar' also lets you drag other defined buttons to add functions you use frequently that usually require navigating the menubar. I added a 'Print' button that was not part of the original set, for example.

Reset the "awesome bar" (address bar) search engine

I had to install some crapware, and it made me install snap.do. This was a mistake. I have completely removed snap.do, so I think, but it has injected itself somehow within firefox. I have removed it entirely, cept for when i type anything in the address bar for a search, it currently only searches http://search.snapdo.com/?st=ds&q= its driving me quite batty. Please read my things I have done before you post.
Things I have done..
- Switched the "search box" search engine.
I've tried to switch it to something else like yahoo, and then switch back to google, then type in the ADDRESS BAR, still defaults to snap.do. I've also tried all sorts of things, as I believe since firefox 23 whatever you have selected in the search box, will default for the address bar, in my case.. no.
- keyworld.url or any about:config search for snap or snapdo or snap.do or *
Listen, this has been gone since firefox 23. I'm running version 27.0.1, ITS NOT THERE DONT SUGGEST THISSS FKJALSDFLKAJSD. I've also tried the keyworld.url hack. First time I tried there was a snap.do keyword and i was like "EFFFIN AAAA!". But after a restart, snapdo still took over.
- Firefox>help>troubleshoot>reset
I'll punch you in the face if you even remotely suggest this, i've done it 329049320 times ;)
- Malware/antivirus/dafjkdsj tool.
Unless it directly removes snap.do dont even tempt me.
- uninstall/reinstall
Ok.. c'mon, you think I havent tried this?
-add/remove programs
rly?
Ok so you see my frustration here? One more list..
Things I will not do..
- Delete my firefox profile.
I'd just really rather not, as history is how I browse some stuff. and well other things as well, I mean in the end, if i must i must.
But if anyone has any other ideas on how i can force firefox to a search engine please let me know, and i will be your friend ;D

Cor-el has suggested to create a new profile, and as I can see in your initial question posting, it was stated that if you had to, you would do it. So, if you could please do - it would be appreciated.
Something I suggest is a clean reinstall, however that is something you would not like obviously but I will enter those instructions here anyways so you can look over it.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Search and Address bar not working.

Hello, I have this problem were whenever I try to type in something into the search or addresys bars, nothing happens. It's like the enter key isn't working. There is not usual picture next to the search bar (the one that shows you what search engine you're using. If it's google it shows a "g" next to the bar). Instead there is just a picture of a blank page as a placeholder. When I try to go in and add a new search engine by managing the search engine list, there is no option to add a new search engine. I have already tried going into the firefox folder on my computer and deleted the formhistory.sqlite file that is the supposed problem. No avail. I have even gone so far to delete and reinstall firefox to my computer. Well, that didn't work either. So I waited until the next update to see if my problem would be fixed THEN. I am currently on firefox 19.0, which is, as of writing, the most current version. I have tried restarting firefox with all addons removed. And for good measure, I deleted anything that ended with ".sqlite" in my firefox folder. I have tried to get the the about:config menu but do not know how considering how my address bar refuses to search. The greatest thing is that my address bar can still remember all the sites I've typed into it before, but for some unknown reason, cannot take me to any of them! I really don't know what to do next. I can only suppose that I could try completely deleting everything firefox has stored on my computer, as I don't know if just uninstalling the program actually did that. Other then my search bar problem, firefox has been acting fairly normally besides a few minor hiccups here and there. I am trying to remember if I downloaded anything before my search bar problems started or not, but it is always a possibility. I did download the firefox beta for windows 8 metro mode but I can't remember if that was before or after firefox started acting up. It's possible considering that softonic thought they were being really nice by including fbdownloader for free with my firefox metro browser. I am now no longer using softonic ever again. But that's all the evidence I can think up right off the tip of my head. Sorry if this was kinda long, and if any of my description isn't clear or make sense please ask and I can try to verify. Also, if I haven't said this already, my search bar is only not working in firefox. Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari are all working fine. Just my luck, I guess. If anyone could help me out, I'd be much obliged. Not being able to use the address bar has been really inefficient. Thank you.

This is the solution I got:
on:
;-please follow these steps:
1. Enter about:config in the Firefox location bar and press Enter.
You should see a warning that making changes to the Firefox configuration can be potentially harmful to Firefox's integrity. Click the I'll be careful, I promise button to continue.
2 In the Search box at the top, enter keyword as the search term. You should see a few remaining items, one of these is keyword.URL. It should be bold.
3 Right-click on the keyword.URL setting and select MODIFY from the dropdown menu.
enter your favorite search engine
In my case
I entered
https://www.google.com/search?q=
And that was a super fix
for more cool stuffs like [http://example.com website Alexa ranking ]

I cannot upgrade past 28 my dropdown menu will not work in the address bar I can not search from address bar stuck at home page

Once I open firefox browser with anything past 28.0 my browser becomes a paperweight no searches from the address bar. Not from the list of drop downs, not from typing the address in the bar. Stuck to the home page it had as default. Firefox does an update every time I close it forcing me to return to 28.0 or through my F--n computer in the trash. Noticed others had this problem but got only questions with no help coming from firefox. This is a Vista 64 bit if that maters. I kinda think maybe nothing past 28 will work but with Vista but no one from firefox will step up and say that.

Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
