Firefox Address Bar Loses Focus

When I'm typing in the address bar on Firefox, it stops accepting keyboard input and focus has to be brought back to it in order to continue typing. I've tinkered around with my sticky mouse focus settings to check if that was the issue, but still the same problem. I had this problem forever ago in the past, but it went away while I've been using EvilWM for the last few years. It just came back now that I've switched back to Awesome. I've searched on Google for any relevant threads, but didn't have any luck. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this or links to some relevant threads that'd be great. This is the most irritating minor bug that I'm facing right now.

It doesn't work. The cursor is still in the address bar, and no other keys work at the same time. For instance I can't close the tab, hit enter, or anything. I have to click in the address bar to continue typing or do any of those things.
Edit: Actually quickly switching to another workspace and coming back lets me continue typing.
I've just installed vimperator which does away with the problem entirely, but I'd still like to know how to fix this in case I decide to switch back at some point.

If I click on the get more tab in the box there is no response.The only way i can go to a site is by typing in the Google box, or going to history and clicking on a site.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Everytime I search something in the firefox address bar for it to automatically find the site, I am redirected to a place called Sitelutions instead of my page.

Basically, every time I enter a search into the address bar (like "google" or "facebook" with out the .com extension) I get redirected to a page which seems to be owned by Sitelutions telling me:
"The website google{hpfromuri} is (or was) utilizing the Sitelutions Redirection Engine. Unfortunately, the URL has been entered incorrectly, or the site has been deleted by its owner. Below are some of our other services and features that we offer."
(heres the URL) http://domainpark.sitelutions.com/redir_not_found/redir_not_found.shtml?google{hpfromuri}
Normally it will go to the page directly. I am thinking it could possibly be some kind of Trojan or some spyware may have crept its way on to my computer and is causing this, but my virus software is not picking it up (Avast! and Malware Bytes).
Any suggestions?

Could be caused by Malware, or even a Rootkit virus, but re-directs caused by either of those usually affect pages loaded from a Search webpage - not from the Location bar.

Firefox address bar sometimes fails...

Every now and then, firefox doesn't autocomplete when I type in the address bar. After every letter I type, autcompletion shows up for like a 1/100 of a second, you have to look really good to notice it . It seems to come and go quite randomly. It's not a big annoyance but just a strange firefox bug.
Anyone else noticed this?

It's probably related to Firefox's tooltips doing the same thing (flicker into visibility very briefly and then disappear). If I change tabs and come back again, it normally fixes that.

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.''

Firefox address bar interpreters any string as a domain if you have: dot string before it

I've tried addons (omnibar, foobar) that I expected would fix this issue, which is basically in this example:
website.com -> will be interpreted as a domain, which it should do.
program.callprocess -> will be interpreted as a domain, which it should not.
But neither did that.
So I'm wondering if it is even possible or if this is something only Firefox devs can do?
EDIT: ironically here it is interpreted as it should.

You can disable keyword search (keyword.enable = false) and use a (one letter) keyword search for searching via the location bar. 
You can add a keyword to an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines (click the search engines icon on the search bar) and you can add a keyword to a bookmark in the Bookmarks Manager (Show All Bookmarks).
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches
That will allow to switch easily between search engines when you search via the location bar and there also is no problem with a one word search.

A Firefox search bar virus has taken hold of my system and wont let go! Is there any way I can avoid uninstalling Firefox every day to get rid of this?

The situation: Whenever I go to use the address bar or the small search toolbar (which is set to google) in my window, the search engine used instead is "search.searchcompletion.com", which returns very shitty search results and is annoying.
The things I have tried to fix this:
First, I disabled and deleted all my add-ons, changed my homepage back to google and updated my search engine to google. Tested search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Second, I downloaded a anti-virus/anti-malware program called Malwarebytes. It did good, catching 28 virus's in various files, quarantining them, and deleting them. I tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Third, I read about typing in "about:config" into the Firefox address bar and changing a few things, as explained <a href="http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/09/remove-startsearch-and.html">here</a>. I tested the search bar, *still broken*. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fourth, I read you can "manually delete the virus from your registery". I followed the instuctions carefully, deleting these strings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main “Start Page”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Control Panel “HomePage”. Tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, someone somewhere installed a special add on that blocked certain sites. Whatever I did it did not work, the site (search.searchcompletion.com) just lost it's formatting, but still did not let me search using google. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, I just uninstalled everything having to do with Firefox from my computer. I reinstalled it and tested the search bar and it worked!....
For 24 hours. When I turned on my computer today, the search.searchcompletion virus is back, and short of uninstalling Firefox, I do not know what to do.
I have no add-ons.
I have deleted temp internet files
I have virus protection
I have tried everything.
Help me.

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

Why is it that now, when I click on a link for a website I've saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I can't drag it to an email to share the link.

Why is it that in these newer versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I open a link that I've saved, it does NOT display the URL in the address bar any more?
I can't drag and drop the link into an email, and I can't see the actual web address I'm connected to for reference OR for security purposes. Why was this changed?
It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link I've saved, using the Windows "Properties", then copying and pasting the URL into the Firefox address bar, before I can do anything with it.

No changes have been made and no problem with extensions has interfered with the URL appearing in Firefox before. Only with the last few new versions of Firefox has this cropped up. Also, the link opens correctly - it just doesn't display the URL in the address bar, instead it just reads (in gray) "Search or enter address." How could another extension interfere if Firefox is the sole program associated with .htm, .html files?

Address Bar works on one user account and not on the other

Hi,
I've trawled through so many forums to find an answer to my problem - perhaps it's quite unique.
About a year ago my firefox address bar's autocomplete stopped working at all. I have the latest version and I've tried all the tricks around dumping the cache etc. Anyway, I got a new Mac yesterday and I opened up Firefox and everything worked as it should - great.
However, I moved all my files/settings/applications etc across from my ole mac via migration assistant and now firefox does not work properly on that user account. So, I have two user accounts on the same mac, both running the same software applications. The user account with all the old files etc is the one I want to continue to use but Firefox won't work properly on it.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, updated the version, cleared the cache...everything I can think of.
I'm sick of Chrome crashing on me.
Can anyone help???

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

Opening a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar but then moves to the search field

When I open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar for a second or so then the focus moves to the search input field. If I start typing something the first character fills in the address bar then the rest is typed into the search field.
How do I get the focus to remain in the address bar as per previous versions please?
MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
Firefox 16.0.1
Thanks.

I hate firefox auto focus to address bar.


I love firefox, but since the autofocus to address bar.
I plan to change browser,
or just make my own.
''Edited by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] .''

Hi administrator,
Thank you for your question, sorry to see you go. However, to turn autofucus off you can change this in the about:config page.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# browser.autofocus to false/
Thank you.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.

I foolishly removed the firefox toolbar ( meaning I have no file,view, edit, bookmark, or any other kind of tab including the search box or even a address bar). How can I get them back without reinstalling firefox please?

Hi, I wanted more room to view on the web, so I thought I'd get rid of some of the toolbars that were taking up space. I went to the edit tab (i think) and then selected toolbars and then just unticked the ones I wanted to lose.Worked like a charm...
Only problem was that I unticked the wrong one. Now I can't search on the web or enter a url as there is nothing there anymore. Any I do mean NOTHING expect my roboform toolbar and the "Getting Started" Firefox tab just above that.
Reason I stressed the "nothing" is because I went on yahoo answers and someone just said...go to edit and...He obviously didn't get that I don't have any kind of firefox tabs left on my browser ( except for the "getting started" tab)
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I'm worried I'll lose my bookmarked pages.
Would be really grateful if you could advise me of an alternative solution to getting my tabs, search bar and address bar back please?
Many thanks
Paul
ps as I don't have any tabs I can't tell you which version I have installed, but your clever software looks like it's got it right.

Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, start Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
Hope this helps.

When changing "browser.newtab.url" is there any way to prevent the address bar from getting focus?

When I change "browser.newtab.url" to about:home and open a new tab, focus is set to the address bar not the search box on the firefox home page. The same thing happens if i change the url to google.com or another search engine. Is there any way to prevent this from happening.

Custom new Tab has a small bug if the start page is exactly the same as the new tab page. Then the focus of the start page is on the address bar. Just leave the "www." out in the startpage and use "www." in the new tab page then it works perfectly. e.g.
Startpage: google.com
new Tab page : www.google.com
Now the focus of the start page is on the search box.

Hi. On the buttons labeled Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, and Home on the top of Firefox page used to be all right beside each other on the left, followed by the Address Bar and then the Search Bar.

However, I wanted to try Firefox Beta 4 but didn't like it, especially since I'd lose all my add-ons! So i have Firefox 3.6.13, but now my bar at the top is Back, Forward, then Address Bar, the Reload, Stop, Search Bar, and then Home. How do I get it the way it was before?! Please help!
I also had a buttong for AiOS (All-in-One-Side Bar) which I really like and now it gone! I cant find it in the preferences either! Please help. I would insert images to help but I guess I cant do that here.

Thank you SO much! That completely solved all the issues! You've made my day! Thanks!
