How do I find my address bar ?

Yesterday I loaded something to speed up my computer and lost my address bar and home page. I have now uninstalled the speed thing

It might be worth noting too Judy.. that just after I thought I had everything 'fixed', I actually encountered a further extension of my problem when I closed down and then re-opened my browser windows - and ended up back at the same place again..
SO . . . to fully resolve this, I had to completely uninstall FireFox . . .
(kept my private settings though - you really should keep those because they take ages to build up and develop..)
. . . because I discovered I had saved a copy of the FireFox 10.2 setup program - so I went forward with the process of uninstalling the version 11 from Hell... and am happily back with version 10 now. (But since you've experienced the same problem, it may prove worthwhile to note that the first time I booted up version 10, it TOO had no address bar displaying initially - but thankfully.. when I went into the CUSTOMIZE settings, Low.and.behold.. there it was as an option (labelled "Location") and when I clicked and dragged this "Location" icon to the toolbar, peace was restored in the Universe.
BY THE WAY EVERYBODY...
If you ever need an older version of any software, you can usually find a copy almost anything at http://www.oldapps.com
And to save you a step searching.. for either an older version of Firefox ~OR~ any of the sequence of BETA versions of the new FireFox Ver.12, you can get them all at this link - http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php
(As of April 11th, 2012 - they are currently at Beta-Step.5)
one at this site - where older versions of many many MANY software programs can be found as well...

  • How do I recover my address bar and toolbar?

    How do I recover my address bar and toolbar? I don't have a place to type in the URL or don't have the File, Edit, View, Options drop-down menus.

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    If you missing specific icons (ex. The back arrow,) try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

    How can i disable the address bar(nav bar) in FF portable ESR31 so that it be run in a KIOSK mode and the users will be unable to get the addressbar or see the addressbar at all.

    Yes you will need a config file however: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment]
    and you will need the suggested hack mentioned in this question:[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939601 question/939601]

  • Create Launcher and how to find the address bar

    Hi Guys,
    I am new to linux and wonder if there is an option to turn on the
    address bar for folder such as this is possible in windows. [see here.|http://metalray.redio.de/dokumente/abar.jpg]
    Moreover, I noticed oracle enterprise red hat linux allows me (desktop - right click)
    to create a "launcher" I guess that is something that fires on system boot ? if so, could
    I link such a louncher to my .sh file that fires up the oracle instance ?
    thanks,
    metalray

    1) You can do this by changing a nautilus(1) preference. You should have the gconftool-2 RPM package installed, if not get it. Then:
    $ /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser trueand then click on the COMPUTER desktop icon or run nautilus from a command line.
    If you do not like this behavior, just reset the value to false.
    2) No the launcher just adds a tool-bar button to the GNOME panel so you can start a program with a mouse click. Starting services at boot-time requires writing a shell script for {font:Courier}/etc/init.d/{font} and some chkconfig(8) and service(8) fiddling.

  • How do I get my address bar back? If I type in the URL of a website I need to navigate to, instead Mozilla is doing a Google Search and giving those results. How do I get the address bar back?

    My address bar where I type in the URL has disappeared. I've searched through Help options, and found only one piece of moderately useful information (following) in Menu Reference. It is: "Open Location… Focuses on the Firefox URL bar so you can type in a new location to visit." However, Open Location is not included as a menu item in the File Tab in my Mozilla dropdown menu. I am not in Full Screen mode so that is not the problem! I think this may have happened last night when I went into Tools, then chose Options. I had been looking around to find out how to set up multiple tabs to open at Start-Up. Both Internet Explorer and Chrome have that option, and it's an important option to me. Firefox apparently does not over that feature, unfortunately. After looking through all the tab choices under Tools - Options, I went to the View menu, and chose Customize. I tried to add the Flexible Space icon, and it ended up being a mess so I had to remove those. The only thing I can think of is that it may have happened then, but I am not sure. I need my Address Bar back so that I can type in the URLS and just go to the websites.

    Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
    this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

  • How do I restore the address bar at the top of my window in firefox on a mac?

    My kids were messing with my computer and must have pushed something and everything disappeared. I need to know how to put an address bar (back button, refresh, ect) back up into the top of my window. Part of the problem is that my computer screen is cracked and I can't see anything in my menu easily. A command that would restore the address bar would help. Thanks.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display
    **View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them 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

  • How do I change the address bar search provider in FF4

    I installed a program which made Yahoo my default search engine. I deleted it under manage search engines and chose Google there, but Yahoo is still my default search engine in the address bar even though I tried going to about:config-typing in keyword URL - right clicking on modify- and changing to Google.
    If I type a search word in the address bar Yahoo search results come up. I would rather use the get lucky feature of Google. How to I get rid of Yahoo as the ADDRESS BAR default search engine. I looked in add-ons, plug-ins, extensions and no sighn of Yahoo to delete. Help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

  • How can I get the address bar to just display URLs?

    With the newest update to Firefox when I type something in the address bar I get more search suggestions than URL suggestions. I only want URL suggestions and want to turn the search off completely. I've tried turning off the "keyword:enable" on the back end of Firefox and it still does not work. Is there a way to go back to just seeing URL's in the address bar?

    I've seen a similar thing in another user's screen shot, but I can't seem to trigger it on my own Firefox.
    Are you seeing search suggestions for possibly matching words/phrases pulled in real time from your preferred search engine (like the drop-down on the search bar), or history entries reflecting terms you previously searched for?
    Do you use any extensions that modify how the address bar works?

  • How do I get the address bar to not have faded out parts?

    I just let firefox update itself, and now my address bar is all faded except for the domain name. This is annoying, as it's harder to read the rest of the URL. How do I get it back to normal?

    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
