Address bar & recent websites

What keystroke causes a dropdown of the address bar revealing the website addresses recently entered? I have done this before by accident but can't reproduce... it's driving me crazy. Internet Explorer has a pulldown button. Thanks.

Hello videoguy:
As far as I know, when you begin typing a URL, the dropdown appears. You can also go to the menu bar and look at the history file.
Hopefully I have understood your question.

  • I want my address bar DROP DOWN menu to show my recently-TYPED in URLs, not random websites. HOW????

    I have searched high and low on the internet for an answer, and I've spent an hour going through each tab on my internet options folder.
    All I want is for my address bar to show my history of what URLs I have TYPED in, in order of being RECENT.
    Please, please help me. I don't know if this is an add-on, or not. I have gone to Tools, Options, Privacy and checked and unchecked just about everything. I've had it to remember my history at 99 days, and at 1 day. Nothing is working. Maybe they just don't make it that way anymore.

  • No address bar up top to enter website address, also I don't see File, bookmarks, etc tabs

    My wife's laptop (Window XP) does not show any website address bar up top and the tabs for File, Edit, Bookmarks, etc are missing. I can't figure out how to get them to show up. I tried downloading the most recent version of Firefox, but it did not work. I was thinking about uninstalling firefox and reinstalling, but wanted to check beforehand.
    Thanks!

    See [[menu bar is missing]], it shows how to restore the menu bar and other toolbars.
    The [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article may also help.

  • My address bar--in fact, my entire toolbar--has diappeared! I can't enter any new websites, or manage anything on familiar websites...no buttons,no control!

    To reiterate, my address bar and my entire toolbar have disappeared. I cannot enter any new websites, and I cannot control anything on the websites that I can enter, because my buttons are gone. The only websites I can access are the ones already located in the easy access windows on the 'New Tab' page. I have nowhere to write a new URL. This effectively renders my Firefox browser nearly useless! This must have been caused by a recent update. I can't imagine any other cause of the problem. I'd appreciate any assistance. I've been using Firefox for years; I'd like to continue doing so. Thanks for your time.

  • When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

    When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • I can no longer access websites through the location bar (address bar).

    A few days ago, my location bar (address bar) suddenly stopped working. When I typed in an address and clicked on Enter, nothing happened - and I mean nothing. The cursor at the end of what I had just typed into the location bar just sat there, blinking at me. Clicking on the arrow at the right end of the location bar didn’t work either. On the other hand, if I clicked on a link in a website or e-mail, I would be taken right to the website at the other end of the link. And when I clicked on a bookmark, I was taken to the bookmarked site. It is only when I type or paste something into the location bar that I am unable to reach the sought after website. Exiting and then re-entering Firefox did not help, nor did rebooting my computer. I was using version 6.0.2 at the time. I upgraded to version 7.0.1; that didn’t help either. Help!!!

    That is a signature symptom of the "AVG Safe" extension in the Link Scanner component of AVG Free, but you don't have that extension on the computer you posted from, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    There is also these which you don't have either

    Try disabling the Foxit PDF creator as it has an ask.com authorship signature.
    If that doesn't work see if Firefox works in Safe Mode. If it does it is probably an extension problem.

    Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

  • When I open firefox the address bar remains blank after a website is loaded from favorites.

    I open Firefox and the open window is blank (as it should be, because I have set my Preferences to open firefox with a blank window.
    Then I select a Bookmarked website from my Bookmarks Toolbar, which opens then opens that website in the window fine.
    BUT, the Address Bar remain blank. It does not display the URL of the web page that has been opened from the Bookmark. Why not? Firefox always did this in the past, but this problem has existed since the last few updates, and still does now on the latest v22.0 for MAC.
    If I open another blank TAB, then switch back to the first tab, the URL of the first tab does appear. But what a pain. I shouldn't have to open another tab, then switch back to the first tab, just for the URL to appear in the address bar.
    I can't believe this problem has existed for so long now over at least 2 or more version upgrades.
    Please fix.

    I was not able to reproduce your problem using Firefox 22.0 for OS X (running OS X 10.8).
    There might be an extension at fault here. You can try and launch Firefox in Safe mode to try and eliminate possible causes.

  • Firefox will only open websites via url link, does not even attempt to connect through the address bar.

    I can only open Firefox websites by using a url link. If I try to type something in the address bar it will not even attempt to load the page, no loading circle, no error or no connection message. I'm at youtube.com and I type in google.com and slap ENTER. Nothing happens. Nothing. I slap the ENTER key a couple more times to similar effect. I can open blank new tabs, but can't get the address bar to work. I can right click videos and have them open correctly in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
    Internet Explorer works perfectly fine though. Despite the ads.
    I've updated reinstalled, disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, hasn't accomplished diddly jack squat. If anyone has any idea what's going on here I would highly appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    Try clicking on Tool --> Options --> Advanced --> General tab. Uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration... ". Do you have any add-on like avg safe search installed?
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I get my address bar back? If I type in the URL of a website I need to navigate to, instead Mozilla is doing a Google Search and giving those results. How do I get the address bar back?

    My address bar where I type in the URL has disappeared. I've searched through Help options, and found only one piece of moderately useful information (following) in Menu Reference. It is: "Open Location… Focuses on the Firefox URL bar so you can type in a new location to visit." However, Open Location is not included as a menu item in the File Tab in my Mozilla dropdown menu. I am not in Full Screen mode so that is not the problem! I think this may have happened last night when I went into Tools, then chose Options. I had been looking around to find out how to set up multiple tabs to open at Start-Up. Both Internet Explorer and Chrome have that option, and it's an important option to me. Firefox apparently does not over that feature, unfortunately. After looking through all the tab choices under Tools - Options, I went to the View menu, and chose Customize. I tried to add the Flexible Space icon, and it ended up being a mess so I had to remove those. The only thing I can think of is that it may have happened then, but I am not sure. I need my Address Bar back so that I can type in the URLS and just go to the websites.

    Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
    this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
    Firefox 3.0.17

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

    After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can't load any websites. I do not get any "error messages", the "enter" button has no effect in the address bar. Works fine in the FF search box and in IE.

    Entering a URL in the address bar and hitting enter does nothing. Neither the "enter" button or "address bar arrow", for going to the website, function. Website does not load and no error messages appear. "Enter" button works fine in the FF search box and in IE, so it's not my keyboard.
    Tried most of the recommended fixes under the "Error loading websites" article with the exception of "DNS refetching", as typing "about:config" in the location bar does no good as the "enter button" won't function. I've removed and re-added FF back into the windows firewall, removed ZoneAlarm from my system, edited proxy settings, deleted and reinstalled FF several times. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a die hard FF fan and this is KILLING me. Please HELP!!!

    You have a lot of information in packed in the "More system details..." (in the right-hand column), where it looks like you found a solution. If not take a look at "Problematic Extensions" the AVG Free installation of their "'''AVG Free Search'''" can cause such problems. Directions to fix that are specific and involve reinstalling AVG Free without the Link Scanner component.

  • In Firefox 4, why are the website icons not appearing in the tabs and next to the URL in the address bar? They appear fine in the bookmarks menu.

    The little favicons that represent the website show up as the blank page icon in the toolbar and in the address bar, but they appear fine in the bookmarks bar. I have tried clearing my cache, and that did not help.
