How to reduce clutter in URL bar?

How do I reduce the "HTTPS-enabled" indicator to a simple green padlock - instead of padlock plus "Mozilla Foundation (US)" text?

You can use a custom style rule to suppress the text associated with the icon. This old thread has one approach (there may be others):

How to reduce the the scrool bar size in the Portal screen

Hello,
We have recently migrated the EP from 7.0 to 7.3 and after the Upgreade we are facing issue in the Portal screen where the Scroll bar length in the Right Corner side is extended it's size.
Can any one please let me know where & how to reduce the the size of the scroll bar.
Since it's a new upgrade i am unable to get the exact parameter to change related to this Scroll bar Setting.
Kindly let me know.
With Regards,
PJ.

It looks like a custom masthead on FAT? Debug the issue with the browser tools, adapt your source and re-deploy. Does this occurs also on SAP standard framework page?

How to disable vanishing of URL bar on scrolling?

In Firefox/Android Beta (not in the release version) the URL bar vanishes as soon as I scroll down a page. It reappears on scrolling up. How can I fix this? The bar should remain at its place in every situation.

Found it myself:
in about:config, the value for "browser.chrome.dynamictoolbar" has to be set to "false". It defaults to "true".

How can I display the URL bar and bookmarks bar when I have the addons page opened?

It seems counter-intuitive to me that the Firefox addons page does not have the same toolbars that other tabs have, and I have not found an option to add them back in (or an addon to fix it). Instead of being able to enter a URL directly from the addons page or click a bookmark, I must navigate away from the tab before I can go anywhere else. Additionally, it graphically looks out of place when I shift through tabs and most of the toolbars disappear for a second as I move over the addons tab.
Some other utilities that use their own pages manage to preserve the toolbar customization without removing it completely, so I'm wondering if there's a way for the addons page to do it as well.
An example of another utility that has its own page without removing the toolbars is the Download Manager Tweak addon. One of its options allows the user to open their download page as a tab, which also contains the toolbar customization of normal, browser tabs.
Thanks in advance!

Just for reference:
The solution to press a hotkey to move the text focus to a hidden navigation item (e.g. the URL bar or the search bar) was only a temporary fix, and only worked for Ctrl+K (search bar, maybe ctrl+E too but I didn't test it).
The problem didn't really bug me all too much until tonight, so I installed the Stylish script from the StackOverflow link above and the problem is solved now.

How do I get my url bar to show the websites I visited before? I did not clean my history or anything. Nothing shows anymore.

Hey! I have restarted my computer during the night and this morning, when I opened firefox, the sites I visited before were not showing anymore in my url bar. I did not reset any history or anything. After visiting them too, they don't seem to save in my url bar (they still don't show after I visited them). All my url bar is showing are "suggestions".
Please help, thanks :)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

FF 29 - How to merge tabs alongside URL bar

Hi,
First, thanks for the nice update. FF 29 feels smoother to me, and faster. However, I miss the extra browsing space I had in FF 28 by merging the tabs to the right of the URL bar. Having such a huge URL bar is a waste of space.
Also, is there any way to get tabs that don't match the color of their respective bar? (blue tabs, blue bar, grey tabs, gray bar after clicking "title" in customize).
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
# [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Install Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, set the following, then close the options window when done.
#* Tabs: Curved tabs (alternative)
#* Application button: Button disabled
#* General UI: Movable Back/Forward button
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Back/Forward button, the address bar, the ≡ Menu Button and whatever other items you're interested in onto the tab bar.
# Drag all unwanted items off the navigation toolbar onto the customization palette.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, set the following, then close the options window when done.
#* General UI: Hide navigation toolbar

How can I get rid of by back/foward buttons and move my url bar to the right of my tabs, as I had in the previous version of firefox?

Before I updated Firefox, my tabs were on the same line as the search/url bar, and I didn't have the back/forward buttons. I liked the simple design I had, but now it doesn't seem like I can go back to that setting.

There is an extension which gives you a lot of control over your toolbar layout. It is described and linked in this article: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]. Can you get the result you're looking for?

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 to delete the history shown in the URL bar?

I just deleted the Browsing history to get rid of all the very old suggestions the URL makes.
It doesnt help.
The URL bar shows automatically even pages I havent visited for a year.
I think there is a lot of old stuff accumulating I want to get rid of.
So, how to delete the browsing history so that also that naggy URL bar starts with a clear slate?

I don't know if this is the same thing, but I had the problem of clearing my history and the location bar would show URL's that I hadn't gone to in a long time. I think most of them had the yellow star to the right of the address which was supposed to mean they were bookmarks. However, I had never bookmarked these sites. My solution was to go to Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks. Expand "Bookmarks Menu" on the left side and go to "Recently Bookmarked". In there I deleted everything that I didn't want as a bookmark. Now the sites no longer show up in the location bar. Hope that helps for you or someone.

How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

Dear Volunteers,
I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
Rajiv

You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.

How do I change my default search engine in the URL bar back to Google after my ISP replaced my default search engine with their own?

Before I changed internet service providers, I could type my search queries into the url bar and receive search results from Google. After I switched ISPs, my queries typed into the url bar are put into my new ISP's horrible search engine. How do I change it back?
I've already tried going to about:config and changing the value of the keyword.URL preference to "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=" but that didn't fix my problem.
New information since creation of the post:
My ISP is Optimum. I have opted out of DNS Assistance and still have seen no change.
When my search term is two words or more, I am directed to Google search results. If my search term is only one word, however, I am still directed to Optimum's search results.

Hello samshine, try to reset the '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' in about:config and check it again.
thank you

How to put the URL-bar at a fixed position to the right of tabs ?

I have moved the URL-BAR to the right of tabs, on the same row, and reduced the size with a few lines in "userChrome.css".
I want the URL-bar to be at a fixed position as far to the right as possible, so i get as much free space as i can for my tabs.
I´m using FF 20.

Sounds that you are using wrong code in the userChrome.css file.
You can set the max-width of the location bar and the search bar to force a maximum width of both bars.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#urlbar-container { max-width: 400px !important; }
#search-container { max-width: 200px !important; }
</nowiki></pre>

I have somehow managed to completely remove the URL bar, bookmarks, favourites and everything else at the top of the page, how do I get it back?

I was trying just to remove one of the things from the top of the page, but then somehow removed everything from the page; URL bar, shortcuts, favourites, refresh button etc. All I have is the 'tab' bar. Please could you let me know how to get all this back.

There are other things that need attention:
