FF7: wrong website at top of address bar dropdown

I have a problem with the drop-down list that shows my most frequently visited websites. When I upgraded to Firefox 7, one of the sites jumped from the middle of the list to the top, and remains there, even though I don't visit it as often as others.
One weird coincidence is that the site is WTOP.com. Is it possible that Firefox is finding the "top" in the website's name and URL and therefore putting it at the top of the list?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Address Bar Dropdown Option like IE

I know that I should be thinking outside of the "Windows Box" but my wife liked using the drop down arrow in IE and finding her previous websites that way. She is begining to get use to typing in the begining part of the site and Safari showing it below the address bar, but she really liked only using the mouse in IE with the drop down menu. I've tried to teach her bookmarks but that has been to little sucess. So I was wondering if Safari has the drop down menu feature or is that just specific to IE. Thanks!

Yeah, sorry forgot to mention that we are aware of that as well. But again my wife is still in the "windows" mindset and really would like that drop down menu feature in the address bar. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have Firefox 3.6.12 and am working on a Macbook Pro. I have organized all my bookmarks into folders, but there is still a long list of websites listed on the Address Bar BookMark dropdown menu. Please help!

(Note: I have deleted all Cached items on HD and User area.)

Follow the steps,
For Windows user,
1. Goto Bookmark backup module in firefox window.
2. Then select Documents and Settings Folder
3. Choose user account folder Ex: User
4. Then goto "Application Data" folder
5. Then choose "Mozilla"
6. Goto "Firefox"
7. Then goto "Profiles"
8. Choose "jj8doebi.default"
9. Then goto "bookmarkbackups"
10. Select the .JSON file that you want to restore the backup
Note that in order to visible the "Application Data" folder, you have to un-select "hide protected operating system files" option in Folder option.

HTC One Stock Browser - address bar and Flash player issues

Couple of issues here -- please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. First of all, since the HTC One only has the Home and Back buttons, I count on the application to know when to open a Settings screen or even an address bar. Point that browser at YoutTube or Google+ and tell me how you get back to the address bar. I've found that hitting Back may bring up the address bar, but you'd better be quick about it.
Second, the Flash player doesn't seem to work with some sites. I can play a YouTube video with the stock browser, but it won't play an NPR sound clip. Thoughts? Ideas? What obvious thing am I missing?

First, Flash Player isn't supported anymore. If you have it installed through sideloading, it isn't guaranteed to work all the time.
As for the stock browser, have you tried scrolling to the top of the website to get the address bar to show. I don't have any other ideas since I purposely disabled the stock browser and use Chrome instead. Perhaps you should consider the same.

How can I install google on the top right address place on Safari?

I use Safari with MSN. My google access disappeared. I do not like Bing. I want to get google back onto
the top right address bar. Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
I'm on 'Snow Leopard' OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.8, so these screenshots are from my computer.
The specific instructions for the 'Leopard' OS X 10.5.8 Safari will be similar, but not identical.
First, your 'Spotlight' Search window in the upper right corner of Safari probably has a downward-pointing arrow. Click it to temporarily select another search engine at the bottom.
To permanently set the search engine preference, open the Safari, Preferences, General tab, select Default Search Engine, and select Google.

Dropdown of address bar transparent.

The address bar dropdown gets transparent. Doesn't happen all the time but a bit frequently.
The hardware accelaration of the browser is already disabled.
It still happens with diabled add-ons mode.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

You can also try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

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.

First I realized my Google bar, in the top right hand corner of the home page, is gone... but now I can't even find an address bar. So if I want to put in a website address, there's nowhere to put it. Can anyone help?

I think I said everything I needed to in my "Topic" comment. Thank you for any suggestions

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I'm not running 10.5.8 and it's been a while, but in your browser (Safari, right?) click on the word 'View' in the top menubar and you should see 'Show Toolbar' right at the top, as well as other choices. Clicking 'Show Toolbar' should restore your 'address bar' back to the way you expect it to look.
Some websites purposely open a new window without any 'distractions', such as to play video clips. If you close the original window, you can be left without the familiar tools.
'Customize Toolbar' also lets you drag other defined buttons to add functions you use frequently that usually require navigating the menubar. I added a 'Print' button that was not part of the original set, for example.

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.

In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in.

Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

My bookmark icons can be fully seen in bookmark toolbar. But on the address bar and on tab most of the icons are blank and when I open most of the websites, their icons are also blank, too. I've already reinstall the firefox 3.6.3 but it is the same. Please help me. Some of the websites show thier icon normally.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

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.
