Drop down menu on address bar question.

Some urls on the address bar's drop down haven't been accessed by me for a year. Others that I access all the time are not there.
This is inconvenient and inefficient.
I saw some info about an insanely complicated way that determines what goes into the dropdown.
How about this -
1) Let the user specify items to go into the dropdown.
2) Let the user determine how many urls go into the dropdown (by having a delete).
If neither of those is possible, then do what Opera does and have everything go in there (several dozen currently on mine).
Or do what IE does, and have the most recent urls typed in go in the drop down.
The way Firefox does it is ridiculous.
You've taken what should be a simple and basic process, and made it absurdly and needlessly complicated as far as what goes in there.
And made the dropdown - one of the most useful features of a browser for me - fairly useless.

Take a look at [[Location bar autocomplete]] on the features and preferences of the location bar.

  • 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.

  • Getting rid of drop down menu in search bar

    Is there any way to get rid of the drop down menu that appears below the url search bar when you're typing in an address?  It's really annoying.

  • Drop Down menu for navigation bar

    I created a site a couple years ago (with GoLive) with a
    navigation bar with rollover states. I would like to create
    something very similar to it now in Dreamweaver CS3 but with the
    addition of a drop down menu for just a couple of the navigation
    icons. I have been told by Adobe tech support on the phone that I
    need some custom coding to do this.
    To see what the navigation bar looks like now go to
    www.aimeeastvillage.com
    I DON"T need the drop down choices to be in a whimsical font.
    I just don't want to have to direrct the reader to go to an
    additional page. PLEASE tell me this is possible for a relative
    beginner! Thanks.

  • Missing drop down menu in search bar

    My search bar is missing the drop down menu. Yahoo has mysteriously appeared as the default engine in my search bar window. When I click the search icon, no drop down menu appears but rather my home page defualts to Yahoo.

  • Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

    I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
    Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

    Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
    If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
    You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
    *SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
    <pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
    FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
    WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>

  • 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
    Windows XP
    == User Agent ==
    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.

  • Firefox addresses in navigation bar are missing/replaced by different drop-down menu

    When I type in an address, the drop-down menu no longer contains the same list of addresses as always. Instead, there is a list of locations (minus the actual www.com addresses beneath each one) in bold font and some of the locations are repeated on the drop-down menu but take me to a different site. Its a guessing game where Im going when I click on one. Beside each listing, there is a magnifying glass icon which was not there before. I have been searching/reading for almost 3 hours trying to trouble shoot the issue and Ive even attempted to restore to default with no luck. This is truly annoying me.. Any suggestions?

    It may happen because your some toolbars and malwares too..

  • Can't Block Person in iChat, with task bar drop down menu in Buddies.

    Hello : )
    I was wondering if anyone knows how i can use my "Block Person", on iChat (task bar with drop down menu in Buddies). I am pretty sure this worked has worked before , the command is there it just seems to stay greyed out. I know it can be done in the Security tab / ichat preferences, I would like it to work under the Buddies drop down as well. I know it did before, my HD was replaced. Help would be most appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.
    Eme;~[)

    Hi Eme,
    Ok. iChat 3 has a setting that needs to be set if you are going to use the same screen name on two copmuters or on two apps on the same computer.
    Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Select the AIM account in question in the left hand column
    Select the Account Info tab.
    Log out of AIM (iChat menu)
    Check the check box "Allow Multiple Logins for This Account"
    Log back into AIM.
    If this is not checked starting iChat 3 will boot off (log out) any other AIM Client using the same screen name whether it is on the same computer or not
    From what the ISP says and what you have posted here it seems the modem is in Bridge mode.
    I take it if you open System Preferences > Network > Select Airport from the second drop down > TCP/IP tab you IP is shown as 10.0.1.2 ?
    And the drop down just above that says "USING DHCP" ?
    This would mean the Airport is in default mode and Issuing Addresses.
    Also by default an Airport would do NAT. (Network Address Translation)
    This measn the Airport sorts out where each bit of data has to go.
    It is different from other routers as you don't have the specify which ports are going to whch ports on one IP (Port Forwarding)
    Which Netopia device is it ?
    3347 ?
    If it is this one you may need to look at the QoS settings.
    These are setings that are supposed to protct you form reciveing data too quickly. (helpful if you are running a busy web site but restrictive sometimes for iChat).
    As you are omly talking about sorting out Block lists it is prpobably the multiple login option that needs doing.

  • Thanks to the super-users, and questions on backgrounds and drop-down menu

    Hi all.
    I've spent a fair amount of time perusing the archives, so I don't have to bother you all with the basic questions. Great thanks to Wyodor, Old Toad, Ethmoid and Cyclosaurus for their excellent and oft-repeated tutorials.
    With your help, I've figured out how to set up a personal domain name, modify my background image, and create a drop-down menu. (These were major accomplishments for a neophyte like me.) My primitive template can be seen here:
    http://www.monroekarate.org/dojo/Template.html
    And I am pretty happy with it. I have one problem, and one minor element that I'd like to fix.
    The drop-down menu was created following the excellent tutorial from the iWebfaq but I notice that although it looks perfect there is one malfunction. If you hover and try to select an element where there is no underlying content, it works fine. When you try to select a list item with underlying content, however, the drop-down disappears. Any idea why that happens or how I can fix it? I suppose I could just add a space buffer, but that is an inelegant solution.
    On a more trivial note, the background was actually supposed to be composed of two images. The top row was supposed to be a horizontal set of tiles (slightly darker in color) and the rest of the background was tiled in a second image, giving a gradient effect. I used the script Wyodor described here with repeat set to yes which gave me single-image tiling. Looks OK, but if I could get both sets of tiles used it would add substantial richness to the visual effect. Ideas?
    Thanks again for all your help to date, and thanks in advance for considering this issue!
    Cheers,
    Liam

    I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

  • Address in a Drop Down Menu?

    Is it possible to have multiple lines in a drop down menu.  I am creating letterhead for my Company.  We have six locations.  Instead of having them choose each part of the address, line by line, I would like them to be able to choose the whole address in a Drop Down.  For example:
    ABC Company
    123 Main St.
    Dallas, TX  12345
    I can't figure out how to make a drop down more than one line.
    Thanks for your help!

    Only with a script and it doesn't work very well at all.
    I recommend placing just the company name in the drop-down and then have it populate a text field with the full address when selected.
    It would require a script, but this type of operation was discussed here many times in the past.
