Address bar won't suggest my history

So basically the address bar will not suggest my history browsing or my bookmarks. I try to check the Privacy section but there is nothing unusual, and I check about:config but none of the pref is wrong too. I even try restart in Safe mode but the problem keep persist. Any help would be appreciate.

You can check these pref on the about:config page and if they are bold (user set) then reset them via the right-click context menu.

Address bar won't remember addresses

Hi,
This morning I cleared my history and my cookies and all that. I cleared everything out.
Now the address bar won't remember anything I type into it. I don't want the stupid feature that completes what you're typing, I just want the FF address bar to remember google and facebook so I don't have to keep typing them in every time I want to.
It worked fine this morning, and I don't know how to fix it.
Please help! I've had an insanely bad day and this whole thing is just making me want to cry now.

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

I just downloaded Maverick last week, and ALL of my contact groups have duplicated. When I use one to send a group e-mail, everything is doubled in the address bar. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

Hello Joannah,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicates in Contacts after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I would be frustrated by this too.
If you have enabled iCloud Contacts, I recommend following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Resolving duplicate Contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147
If you’re not using iCloud, I recommend this article instead:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My address bar won't stay open.

I just installed the new firefox and now my address bar won't stay open. My husband who just installed it has no problems. How do i fix this?

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. 
That takes the control from Firefox to do the normal keyword search like a Google I'm Lucky search. 
In such cases you need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature.
You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

You can also consider to use anther DNS server.

My location bar won't suggest sites, but my settings are telling it to. What's wrong?

You know, when you start typing a letter or two into the location bar and a list of sites you've visited appear in the dropdown. On the privacy settings page, I have History set to "Firefox will: Remember History" and Location Bar "When using location bar, suggest: History and Bookmarks." What other settings could be preventing it from working?

The Firefox location bar is the address bar, just another name for it.

Problem with address bar: won't execute typed in URL but works fine with bookmark address or links

Address Bar: Typing in URL and cannot access page (nothing happens hitting <enter>). Using bookmarks or links works just fine.

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.org/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.
See:

I want the old version 2 address bar. Any suggestions

Do not the like double line addresses. Want just a single address line, now it looks like
www.Pogo.com (then underneath this address same address line
www. mozillafirefox.com (then underneath this address same address line) etc. etc.
I've downloaded https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/oldbar/ and it didn't seem to make a difference unless I'm supposed to do something with the download afterwards.

To check whether the oldbar add-on was installed correctly, open the [[Customizing Firefox with add-ons|Add-on Manager]] and make sure that "oldbar" is listed under the "Extensions" section. If it's not there, try installing it using the "Get add-ons" section of the add-on manager.
After installing oldbar, you will need to restart Firefox. If you haven't already done this, there should be a "restart now" link in the add-on manager.

Clear address bar suggestions

I have this annoying problem that I so far can't find a solution for. I have been using Firefox for ages, and until recently this wasn't a problem. In the past, when I wanted to clear history (all history whatsoever) I could just hit the "Clear recent history" and then cross the "Browsing & download history" and "Form & Search history" and select everything in the dropdown-menu. Now this doesn't do the trick! Firefox still remembers which sites I have visited by suggesting them in the address bar. Let's say I'm visiting randomwebsite.com, and then clear the history as above. Then when I type in "ra" in the address bar, it will suggest randomwebsite.com. I can't find ANY ways to work around this, other than disabling the suggestions altogether, which is not what I want.
I use Mac OS 10.9.2., Firefox 29.0.

Hello,
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.

After updating to FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows, the address bar stopped working, as well as the search bar, though not immediately. Reinstall didn't fix it.

Initially I downloaded an AOL-optimized version, but when the problems came up I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago it randomly started again. Address bar won't go anywhere with enter or pressing the arrow button, and the search bar has no search engine. Trying add a search engine by clicking "manage search engines" doesn't help; the "add search enginges" button is unresponsive and there are none in the list to choose from. I uninstalled everything including my customizations and personal settings and reinstalled, which still didn't help. I tried disabling all the plugins and that didn't work either. I even tried searching from the FireFox home page search, since at that point it was the only page I could get to, and even that wouldn't search. The most recent add-on I downloaded was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it didn't seem to coincide with the start of the problems.
Update: I ran a malware program (MalWareBytes) and it came up with nothing. I also got back into FireFox to get the Troubleshooting Information and added it in. In addition, here's my complete plugin/extension list:
Plugins:
Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
Google Update 1.3.21.123

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

How do I delete a site from appearing in my address bar drop-down list?

I am looking for a way to delete a website from being included in the drop-down list when I type things into my address bar.
I've deleted history and cookies associated but to no avail.
I'm accessing my router; I type 192... and it brings up the link to my old router, which doesn't work. Getting annoyed at having to scroll down to get the new, real link.
Solution? Cheers.

Thanks!

No website is opening through firefox address bar how to solve this

I think because of some virus or some configuration problem. The url which I type in the address bar is not opening. However I can search through google toolbar and google website. I get links when I click them website is opening but not opening through address bar also the suggestions are not loading in address bar. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox but same problem. Also after opening website the url of website is not visible in address bar

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

''When you figure out what is causing that, please let us know. It might help other user's who have that problem.''

Clearing address bar w/ safari

I can't clear my address bar. I've cleared history, cleared cache, reset safari, unchecked boxes in auto fill under preference (and cleared the edit next to box). I use a new powerbook with tiger, HOW DO YOU CLEAR THE ADDRESS BAR????

If you have cleared your history and cache and the sites are still appearing but you don't think they are bookmarks, run the following test:
1. Close Safari.
2. Go to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
3. Drag the Bookmarks.plist file to your desktop.
4. Open Safari.
5. Before doing anything else, clear your cache & history.
6. Type some addresses into the address window and see what pops up.
7. Close Safari.
8. Drag Bookmarks.plist from your desktop back to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
9. Click on Replace to have your original bookmarks file replace the new, empty one created by Safari when you ran this test.

Address bar history won't work

Hi, I recently updated one of my add-ons (I believe it was Adobe Flash) and now my address bar history won't work. My history is being recorded, but I can't jump back to previously visited pages via the address bar.
This only happened yesterday, if anybody can offer a solution, well thanks.

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

Navigation bar suggestion/autocomplete history dropdown disappears

The drop-down history suggestion bar disappears, especially when the browser's been open for a while, ie., I'll type "m" in the address bar, but "mozilla.org" (or any other site from my history) won't show up underneath - meaning I have to either type in the full address or go to a bookmark. This happens with the search box, too - if I type something in, it won't give me suggestions from past searches. Restarting always fixes it, but it's getting annoying. Running Firefox 3.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.04

Updating to a newer version may easily mess the toolbar configuration. You are suggested launching Firefox [[Safe Mode]], and select “reset all the buttons from toolbar” then click restart Firefox. (I don't know what is exactly called in English version). And then, you will see all the buttons are restored to default settings. You may now re-drag-and-drop all buttons including your disappeared buttons in customize.

The Url History in the address bar is not working anymore. Reinstalling/Updating does not fix this. How to I get this working again?

I'm talking about the Address Bar.
For example: You type in Google and it shows www.google.com etc. Because this is in your history.
But this has stopped working since I emptied my cookies. But not my history. I also checked if my history is still there. Which it is.
And I cant find out why at all.
I'm sorry if I really can't give much info. But this is what I concluded. Seeing English ain't my native language. My google searches for this question seem to be either in the wrong direction or this is something that never happened before.

Tools>Options>Privacy - Click the drop down menu under Location Bar and set when using the location bar, suggest to - History and Bookmarks.
