Awesome bar history search, show only root domain?

I want to allow Firefox to search my history in the Awesome bar, but I'd like it to only show the root domain. For example, I'd want it to only show "support.mozilla.org" rather than "support.mozilla.org/yadyadyada/and/so/on".
Any easy way to make it do that?
Thanks!
(Firefox 34.0.5, Windows 7.)

Hello,
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
Either enter '''about:support''' in your address bar, or go to:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > Troubleshooting Information
Beside Profile Folder, click the "Show Folder" button to access the location of the file. Make sure it isn't read only. You can also install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/ Places Maintenance] extension to run maintenance on the file.

  • I'm Unable to Clear Awesome Bar History

    HTC Droid Incredible
    I've seen this question asked but no solution was forthcoming...
    Only recently I noticed that the Awesome Bar History will not clear. I habitually use the ‘Clear Private Data’ option. However, the All Pages list will not delete. Any insight?

    hi, I found this in Help at 1734 BST in UK. It's a bit down the page. I use a netbook. Maybe this is for laptops, netbooks.

  • My "awesome bar" is not showing up! How can I get it to show?

    My "awesome bar" is not showing up at the top of my page! How can I get it to turn back on? I have all of my plug-in information up to date. Help!

    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"
    * 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 lost "Yesterday in "History" Side bar. Now shows only "Today" and "Last 7 days"

    I deleted by mistake the Category "Yesterday" in the "History" Side bar. It now only shows "Today" and "Last 7 days". How can I retrieve the "Yesterday" category that shows all the websites I visited yesterday?

    You can't restore history data once it is deleted, unless you do the UNDO before closing the History window, from the Organize menu item.
    Yesterday should return tomorrow, when tomorrow becomes today, and today becomes yesterday.

  • Awesome bar does not show history

    Hi all,
    My history no longer shows in my address bar. I have tried several fixes I found around the internet, such as starting and safe mode and checking the settings on the privacy tab. The problem persisted in safe mode and after manually disabling all my addons and removing my themes.
    I tried uninstalling and downloading Firefox again. No effect.
    When the problem began, the location bar setting under preferences was set to show history and bookmarks. I tried setting it to only history, and it only showed bookmarks I had recently viewed. I tried setting it back to history and bookmarks and it showed only bookmarks again. I would imagine that this means that the location bar is not properly reading from the folder that contains my history, but I don't have the computer know-how to confirm, let alone fix, this problem.
    I am rung the most recent version of Firefox on a mac.
    Thanks for your help,
    John

  • Awesome Bar will not show browsing history after update - I have location bar set to show from history and bookmarks with history being saved for 10 days. How do I fix this?

    I updated firefox last night and now none of my history will show up in my location bar. Everytime I either close the browser window or start a new tab I have to completely type out new addresses.

    I'm the original asker. I uninstalled Firefox, including associated personal data and reinstalled. It now seems to work. I used FEBE to reinstall bookmarks and extensions.

  • Unable to delete awesome bar history

    So I've completely wiped my browser history, multiple times. But I still get /all/ of my history in the awesome bar, which is just super aggravating. What can I do?

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Exch 2013 SP1 Mutidomain set up. mail enabled user shows Forest Root Domain email address.

    Hi,
    First let me explain my Exch 2013 SP1 Multidomain set up.

    DB as Tree Root domain in above forest 
    DC as Child domain in Tree root domain.
    2. After set up, I ran 'netdom query fsmo' on each DC. It displayed schema master role on forest DC and domain role on individual DC on which command was run.
    3. Now to install Exch 2013 SP1, ran appropriate command on forest  DC (i.e PrepareAD, Prepareschema and alldomain).
    4. Brought 1 machine in Child domain and installed Exch 2013 SP1 server on it.
    Now, when I access ECP, Create user, new mailboxdatabse etc. options available only if login to ECP by ForestRootDomain\administrator credentials. please confirm.
    while creating new user, it shows User Login Name with Child.TreeRootDomain.local default but after creating user, it shows [email protected] as Email address. Please confirm.
    Thanks and regards,
    Sudhir

    Logged on Exch machine by child\administrator user credentials.
    Unabel to get Set-ADServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $true command in exchange powershell.
    can get only Set-AdServeiceAccount command.
    Also if poosible, please confirm, weather multidomain set up is correct?

    then
    Press the enter key
    then
    in the filter window, type "Keyword.url" (without the quotes)

  • I updated to 3.6.6 but now my awesome bar, history, bookmarks, and all that stuff is comepletely gone. What is going on/what do i do?

    After an upgrade, all of my typical functions where gone. I dont have anywhere to type in website URLs or go back in my history. I don't even have tools so I cant troubleshoot.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After an upgrade

    Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. Also check-mark the Navigation bar.

  • Is there a way for "history" to show only history on that device?

    With the latest Yosemite changes it appears now that the browser "history" shows the history on all the icloud devices.  That is, at one time when I searched on my iMac, the history showed there.  If on the iPhone, it showed there.  Now, if I search something on my iPhone, it's immediately showing in the history on my iMac when the user goes to history.
    I don't want that.  Is there a way to not show the history aside from having separate icloud profiles for each desired device?   I'm not finding any setting that does this so far but perhaps I'm overlooking something.
    Thanks

  • I no longer have favicons in address bar (awesome bar)

    Firefox 14.0.1
    I no longer have favicons in address bar (awesome bar):
    All that shows is a a generic graphic(globe?) that is grayed out.
    I do however still have fevicons in my bookmarks list.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks!
    Sorry to see these changes though.
    The browser was great before the recent "fixes."

  • Items manually removed from history still shows up in Awesome Bar (but without favicon)

    Even if I delete all History items related to a certain search term (for example: "aftonbladet"), the Awesome Bar still remembers it. I don't have any bookmarks with that search term.
    Items in the item bar that sticks like this, even if I remove any history related to them, have no favicon.

    First I tried to repair the database with the Places-Maintenance addon. Didn't work.
    Then I quit firefox and removed any places sql files from my profile folder and moved them to my desktop. I then started Firefox again. Naturally, all my history was gone (no biggie) but the problem persist. Even if I visit a bunch of websites, then manually clear all the items from my Browser history (such as pressing Ctrl A then Delete), many of the websites still show up in the Awesome Bar. None of those websites are bookmarked and my Browser history has been manually emtpied.

  • How do I get more tagged/bookmarked results to show up in awesome bar? Currently it will only show 4.

    When I type a word into the address/url/awesome bar that is a word I know I have used as a tag on several bookmarked pages, only 4 of the results in the drop down are bookmarked pages. The rest of the pages in the drop down are other pages suggested from the web. Because only 4 of the results are pages I've tagged, the page I want (and have tagged) often doesn't show up. Is there a setting I can change to make it show more tagged results? Or is there a way after I get the original results to have it add additional tagged/bookmarked items?

    That can be a problem with the Fastestfox extension.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In the FastestFox Options, uncheck "Enhance Awesomebar"
