I am not seeing the URL preview you get when you hover over a link. Why?

Until today, when I hovered my cursor over a link, a preview of the link's URL would appear on the lower left of my screen, above the Start button (I use Windows Vista). Currently when I hover over a link, no preview appears, so I don't know the web address of where I'm going when I click on the link. I thought that maybe this was due to updating to Firefox 19.0, but my friends who have also updated say that they can still see the URL preview. Did I somehow turn off the URL preview by accident? If so, how can I turn it back on? If not, why is it gone?

Do you see toolbars like the Add-ons bar (Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F)?
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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I do not see the small thumbnail pictures anymore when opening elements.

    I am using Photoshop elements for quite some time on a Dell PC and another windows PC. SInce recently I do not see the small thumbnail pictures anymore when openning elements. I only see the grey boxes with the sandglasses. When I then click on a grey box to see the picture in a fitting screen size. I have tried to wait for a long time, but it does not change I keep the grey boxes when I want to see more than one picture on the screen. This is the case in both PS'c. What has happened and how can I restore to the normal set up where I can see the pictures again in smaller size?

    Hi,
    Please follow the instructions mentioned in the blog and see if your issue is resolved.
    Thanks!!

  • My link preview has disappeared from the bottom left of the page (it no longer pops up when I hover over a link.) Thoughts on how to get it back? I really LIKE having it!

    It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • Safari, when I hover over a link, doesn't show the web address, +Hotmail qu

    Hi, two questions.
    New to safari, when I hover over a link it doesn't display the web address, is there a way to turn this on or is it not available in Safari.
    In regard to Hotmail, is there a way to synch up Hotmail with Mail in leopard so that when I click an email address it allows me to send via hotmail.
    If not, how do you find out the email address, because when I click it, just takes me to mail and doesn't allow me to at least view what the email address is, so I can manually send it via Hotmail.
    Thanks for your time.

  • I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it.

    I updated to Yosemite and now I can't open my YNAB finance app. There is a question mark in the Dock where the App should be and when I hover over the question mark it does say YNAB but I can't open it. When I double click on the question mark nothing happens. Has the link to YNAB been broken with the update? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Check the Application folder.
    If it is not there, contact YNAB Finance for a OS X Yosemite compatible version of the application.
    Best.

  • Why can I not see the URL display when I mouse over a link?

    When I mouse over a link the URL does not display at the bottom anymore and I cannot figure out how to make it display so that I know where I'm going before clicking. I only just recently noticed this happening and am not sure what changed.

  • How do i change or hide the dialogue box that pops when i mouse over a link?

    i'm using adobe acrobat standard.
    i'm editing a document and adding links into the PDF to my website.
    i prefer only to show the "hand/pointer" when you mouse over the link.
    is there a way to:
    a. hide the dialogue that pops up when you mouse over a link?
    b. is there a way change the dialogue that pops up when you mouse over a link (e.g. Click Here versus the actual URL).
    Much thanks,

  • Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

    I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible.  The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

    By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
    If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.

  • How to hide the Alt description when you hover over your links?

    I was told that you have to have a description for images, links just about everything. But when I preview my website and hover over the links, a yellow box appears with the description of the images. How do I hide this?

    You are previewing with an old (very old?) version of IE, which is the only browser on earth that does what you describe.  All other browsers play by the rules and leave the alt attribute values alone (which is what they should do). 
    You can choose to ignore this, or 'kill' it by adding a title attribute that is empty, e.g.,
    <img alt="foo" title=""...
    By the way, you add alt attributes to images for accessibility reasons.  People who browse with images turned off (and there are some) or people who use screen assistive devices (screenreaders) need some indication that there is an image at the point where they are looking/reading.  Consequently, you would only want to add content to these alt attributes where it's important to the message of the page (i.e., a cosmetic-only image would just have an empty alt attribute value). And you only need these for images, not for any other page element....

  • Firefox will not open a new page or tab when I click on certain links, why?

    Hi,
    I have been having a problem with firefox for the past month.
    Clicking on some links which open a new tab/window
    do not work. For example I cannot enlarge photos
    on ebay listings to have a closer look at the image.
    I just see a box at the bottom of the screen that
    says 'javascript;' then it disappears.
    Any ideas how to fix this ?
    p.s.I have tried to load in safe mode, but the problem is still there.

    Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

  • At the bottom - the url if you click on it - it switches to the other side of the browser. How do I disable that completely - it's annoying and gets into the way

    This is not an issue of functionality. But in convenience. When you click on a link or pass over a link in a webpage, at the bottom of the browser it shows the url. sometimes if you hover or that it switches to the other side of the browser. For example: The Link is firefox. Hover over it and at the bottom is shows http://www.mozila.org. And if you click on it while it is going to the website, if you hover over the URL it moves to the other corner of the browser. My question is - is there a way to disable that function in Firefox. Sometimes that URL just sits there if you don't have over it or click it off. It's just a bit annoying at times.

    That can happen if the link is at the bottom on the browser window and is (partly) covered by the link preview notification that used to be on the status bar in previous Firefox versions.
    If you hover such a link that is covered by the pop-up the Firefox may swap that link for right to left or vice versa.
    You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.
