How to manage contents of location bar pulldown menu?

In the location bar pulldown menu, I want to delete some entries permanently and insert some other entries, also permanently.

Are you asking about screenshots in general? You have three choices: the entire Mac's screen, an entire window including the title bar, or a selection created by dragging a selection rectangle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11229
To take a screenshot for posting on this site hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field.
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • How do I use the location bar to automatically load the top google hit?

    I recently re-installed Firefox 3.6.12 and created a new profile because my old one was malfunctioning. Before, when I typed something in the location bar (say "nyt") it would automatically load the first Google hit (so I didn't have to type "nytimes.com"). Now, it simply performs a Google search without loading the first page hit. I loved being able to save time this way. How do I restore this feature?

    I had this problem in FF4 and found the answer here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/756711#answer-
    To quote TonyE:
    Current release versions of Firefox by default use the Google "browse by name" search option for the location bar, but Firefox 4 beta 6 no longer uses this. You can restore it by changing a hidden preference. In Firefox 4 beta 6 it should have defaulted to a Google search rather than what you got.
    Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
    Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    In the filter box type keyword
    Double-click on the preference keyword.URL and change it to the one shown below

  • How do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.

    In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

    That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
    If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
    Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
    Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

  • How do I fix my Location bar so that it's sorted my names (albalphabetical order), like my Bookmarks?

    I have finally organized my Bookmarks into alphabetical order, and for some reason whenever I type in a website in the Location bar, the suggested websites shown below aren't in alphabetical order. For example, If I type in 'youtube.com' it doesn't give the original website (which I want). Instead it shows me the other websites that bookmarked. Please help me. I have been on this for quite awhile. Thank you.

  • How do I use the location bar to search for phrases that do not contain spaces?

    When I type phrases that contain spaces into the search bar, it brings up a google search as specified by my about:config under keyword.URL
    However, when I type anything that *does not* contain a space (e.g. potatoes), firefox tries to connect to http://potatoes/, returning a "cannot establish connection to server at potatoes"
    my keyword.URL is set to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    browser.fixup.alternate.enabled is *false*
    browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled is *true* (though I don't think this has anything to do with it)

    hello jywang74, please update to firefox version 33.0.2 - there you'll see a different behaviour (keyword.url is no longer used btw, the address bar uses the same search provider as set in the searchbar).

  • How to manage iphoto library location?

    I can have iphoto library either in Mac's SSD (128GB) or external hard-disk. If the whole library is in SSD, it can't grow beyond 128GB or at max 512 GB). If I move the whole library to external hard-disk, I will have to mount it every time I need to look at the photos. Is it possible to split the library between mac's internal SSD and external hard-disk such that favorite and recent photos stay on both SSD and hard-disk and all the photos in external hard-disk? Whenever hard-disk is plugged in, it can sync and show all the photos in iphoto. Is it possible to do this in mac?

    Yes. By having two Libraries.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How can I combine the nav bar and menu bar on the same line to save space?

    Firefox v29 seems to be a huge step backward in customization. I need to save space for content so previously I turned off tabs and combined the menu bar and nav bar on the same line. The url space is way too long anyway. Now with v29 all my customization is gone and I cannot get it back. I can no longer move items on the nav bar to combine it with the menu bar. Why was this done? It only limits my ability to customize my browser? I am very frustrated that you took a great browser and ruined it.

    I get it that Firefox has changed, but the change is for the worse. It makes it impossible to customize menus as I had before v.29.

  • How to display content dynamically base on the menu selection?

    I have only one XML file to populate my menus and display the
    content base on the menu selection.
    If I select anything by name on the menus, example Math all

    function to remove duplicate rows from the data set when it loads.
    So far so good.

  • How do I reopen the status bar and menu bar, I accidentally unchecked one of them and now they are not accessible by right clicking anywhere on the browser

    If you right click on the top bars in the browser you can check and uncheck what bars appear. I accidentally unchecked something there and now when I right click I cannot get any menu to recheck my menu, status bars so that they are visible. They are currently not visible, I have no way to navigate or change any settings.

    OK, got it fixed, I kept fishing around on this site and found an answer. Depress the Alt key and the menu bar temporarily appears, long enough to restore the bars to be visible.

  • How may I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons to maintain their size?

    I recently updated from FF28 to FF31. Totally different UI, I get that. I waited to update until I could psych myself to try something different. I have the Default Australis Theme and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with larger icons/buttons for those with visual needs. On my screen at the moment I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar, and url/addon bar with the "hamburger" menu to the right. I placed icons in the menu bar, kept the home icon on the addon bar, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I enable the Noia Fox Theme, the icons look great on the url/addon bar, even in the menu popup; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their original/intended size. So I switch to default Australis Theme, restart, and same issue, though not quite as dramatic since Default theme is smaller to begin with.
    My thinking then is that there is a setting within the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons to a small default size. Can this setting be changed to allow the icons to retain their original size (or close to it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, below the title bar, above the tab bar. Works nicely with the new The Fox Only Better addon which attaches to the tab bar and hides the url bar, a "new" feature for me and I'm liking it. I know I can get CTR with an additional bar, and I did try that. The issue then is that the additional bar appears below the tab bar and is not movable to above the tab bar and below the title bar.
    At the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox Only Better. I've not added other appearance addons yet so as to keep potential conflicts/issues to a minimum. I've not tinkered with internal FF default settings other than to say don't track me (I think that's all I did). So to the best of my limited understanding, I've kept changes and customizations to a minimum. And yes, per your educated guess feature for questions posted, I am running Win 8.1 and FF 31.
    I think I've offered enough detail so others can try to duplicate the issue. If not, let me know and I'll try to respond as soon as I can. Thanks so much for any help offered.

    You can double the height of the menu bar area using a custom style rule. I couldn't immediately find an icon that would take advantage of the space so I'm not sure this will solve the problem, but you could try it.
    The custom style rule could be as simple as:
    @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
    /* double height (from 2x to 4x the 13px base font size) */
    #toolbar-menubar{
    height:4em !important;
    (Result shown in the screen shot, using the preview feature of the Stylish extension.)
    You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's UI using either of these methods:
    (1) Create or edit a userChrome.css file. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
    (2) Use the Stylish extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
    Since I don't have this theme to test myself, if this doesn't work well, you might contact the theme author using the theme's support thread, which is on an independent forum: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2230157

  • How can I remove the history location bar? it takes space on the left side of the browsing window, and I cannot see all the content of a website.

    I have a history location bar taking the entire left side of the browsing window. I am on Windows 7 and this happened two upgrades ago. I am now on Firefox 8.01

  • I have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code?

    i have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code? thank you!

    i inherited the website. It’s for a non-profit and is not very
    sophisticated, and neither am I in webdesign. It currently has multiple
    pages that are identical except for that body section, so whenever i change
    the navigation (in the sidebar) I have to update every html page.  I want
    to have one basic page, and just call in the different body content based
    on the link the user selects from the nav bar. How can i do that using a
    script? i am using Dreamweaver.

  • How do I get rid of the orange Firefox thing in my Location Bar? I want the interface to look just like Firefox 16.0.2

    I installed Firefox 33 after Tumblr stopped working on 16.0.2, but now everything is jumbled. i tried Classic Themes installer and most things worked great, except for one thing: the orange Firefox thingamabob in the location bar. I can't change it back to the short, unintrusive globe it was in 16.0.2. Here is how it looked then and looks now, for comparison. (Also, the open tabs now have no border and the bars are a different color!)
    http://i.imgur.com/aIiwfvc.png
    Also, the Awesome Bar doesn't work anymore! Before I could type, say, the letter 'i' and it would show my a bunch of imgur pages. Now it doesn't do anything when I type anything, and won't work when i hit Enter to search. What is going on?

    Hello, I have the same... well... "opinion".
    The Firefox logo in the address bar is intrusive and takes away a lot of sorely needed horizontal space in it, for no reason but to display the Firefox icon a third time (in the address bar, on the tab, and on the window in my case where it doesn't bother me).
    The screenshot the starter of this topic made illustrates perfectly what I mean - it unnecessarily clutters and overcrowds the horizontal space within the address bar. This is especially a problem for people who cannot use high screen resolutions due to being damned to forever keep using old CRT displays since all flatscreens cause excruciating eye pain (a minority no one cares about, I know - still where's the harm in making it optional?).
    Does anyone here know of any Add-on that can remove this said clutter in the address bar? I would really appreciate it and be grateful. Or any (other) way to remove it for that matter... make it an option, whichever...
    Kind regards

  • My FF desktop has no location bar. Where is it? How can I get to a different website or make a bookmark without it?

    I could not figure out how to get to a web site that I did not have a bookmark for. Nothing worked. I re-read the instructions for creating a bookmark, and determined that I needed the location bar. That should be up near the top. I don't seem to have a location bar on my screen when I run FF. I can't understand how to put a location bar up there. The VIEW legend will offer me the chance to click on TOOLBARS, but there is no location bar in the list offers. Where is it? Where'd it go? How do I get one? Why isn't it on screen? This is nuts.
    Thanks.

    As posted above, make sure that 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.
