Address bar too long

How can I list addon icons in a row as in Firefox 30?
See attached picture for detail.
Update 1: If you customize icons, they will stand in a row, as expected. However they squeeze after firefox restart. Moving around search bar doesn't seem to help. When addon icons are too wide they seem to squeeze to a drop-down list automatically (after restart of firefox), regardless of what addons are there.

Does it has effect you you position the search bar right next to the location/address bar or temporarily move it to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list (right-click the search engine: Move to Menu)?
Note that this can be caused by extensions that show variable data on the Navigation Toolbar, so if you notice any that behave like this then try to place them after the search bar.
Note that you can easily remove items from the Navigation Toolbar to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list and back again via the right-click context menu.
If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can remove this item from the toolbar.
* "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
* "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
* "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar

Address bar too long, some addon icons are not revealed.

When addons are many, they aggregate to a small menu. This is very inconvenient. See pictures between firefox 30 and firefox 37
I tried to upload a image. In case I failed, see http://img.vim-cn.com/0b/310455fba225df5c97986cf270e6884a1fcde2.jpg

FF 3.6.6 :: Address Bar No Longer Works - Help?

After updating Firefox to version 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP 3, the address bar no longer works for navigating to pages. When entering any URL and pressing enter, the page reloads with google.com (which is my homepage in FF). Clicking some bookmarks works. However, navigating from search results in Google does not. I have tried reinstalling. Also, I have tried to start up in Safe Mode. Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Address Bar no longer works

The address bar no longer works when entering an address, or when selecting from recently visited sites, the only way I can visit a site is to use Google to find the URL and then click on it from the search results

Hello dwarde_2000, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.
thank you

Our email address is too long to enter

Why is my address bar no longer using "predictive" (don't know the proper term) text anymore?

For example, if I type in a letter such as "f," in the address bar, why does it no longer bring up the options of websites that are saved in my history and bookmarks?
== I'm not sure, but I think it happened after I chose my new skin.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks - See [[Smart Location Bar]]

Why is my address bar no longer retaining past sites that I have visited?

My address bar used to save frequently used web addresses in a dropdown menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the very right of the address bar. Without warning, it now only retains the addresses I visit during a specific session. At the end of each session, the Dropdown memory is wiped clean. Why did this happen and how do I repair this huge inconvenience???

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies under ''Keep Until : select They Expire''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> If you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.

Address bar no longer works with manually entered URLs

Four days ago the address bar stopped working. I am accustomed to manually entering many URLs and hitting 'enter' but although I can still enter URLs as normal, the 'enter' button does not load the relevant page, nor does the green arrow at the end of the address bar do so.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Battling claro-search. Address bar no longer displays "About Home". Instead I get "Go to Website" Problem?

I have been battling Claro-search. I have tried all displayed fixes including running Superantispyware and Malwarebytes. Every time I restart Firefox 16.0.1 the claro-search items show up in "About:config". My concern is that the address bar displays, "Go to Website" when it previously displayed "About Home". I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox using a download from Mozilla site. Any suggestions? Thanks. Paul

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Update to version 31.0 made address bar too wide which hides bookmarks, can't be changed in settings

i expect to control the size of the address bar when settings are open but i can't. it takes up the whole width of the page.
mozilla shouldn't change my stuff when doing updates. they suck.

You can use code in the userChrome.css file (or use Stylish) to repair this regression.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#nav-bar-customization-target > #personal-bookmarks {-moz-box-flex:1!important;}
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) TEXT file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the TEXT file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as TEXT. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working TEXT.txt file

I have unchecked all the toolbars from the top of my screen but now I cannot get them back as the right click does not bring the same menu where I can check the toolbars back. I had unchecked address bar too so now I am wondering how to get these back. I

i think i covered all the details.

Just once or twice

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

The web address bar no longer displays the url of the open tab, the refresh button doesn't work any longer, and the more time FF is open, the slower it eventually runs.

Downloaded FF4 a while back. Not the beta version. All seemed to work well for a while. Then the aforementioned problems began. I did not add any plugins or make any changes at all. Web site addresses do not show in tabs, and the refresh button is non-functional. After FF4 has been open a while, it begins to run slower and slower as if there is a memory leak.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Shorten firefox 33.1 address bar for longer bing bar

earlier versions of Firefox had "spacers" to add to accomplish such things. They are not to be found in the present version, at least not by me. Thanks, George Kunkel

You can place the mouse pointer between the location bar and the search bar and it will become a resize icon that you can drag right or left with the left mouse button pressed to change the relative width of the location bar and the search bar.

Using Firefox 4, the URL bar no longer displays the web address for my current web-site so I can't copy and paste links. Plus there's no refresh button.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really don't like it, but I still would like to give it a chance. However, the URL address bar no longer shows the current address for websites that I surf into. So it makes sharing pages or emailing links next to impossible. In addition to that, there is no Refresh icon that I can find so I'm stuck just hitting F5 to refresh my page.
Short of downgrading, is there anyway I can change those particular issues?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

How to retore the address bar.

the address bar no longer appears in the opening window.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in 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 set up
