I can not type in the search bar

Windows 7 and version Firefox 15.0. The search bar doesn't respond to the mouse or the keyboard though I can place the cursor in the search bar 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.
#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.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • HELP! Can't Type in iTunes Search Bar or Anywhere else in iTunes

    I recently updated to a new version and now I can't type in the search bar, edit song names, edit file info. etc. This is very frustrating. PLEASE HELP Thanks.

    Have you tried running *Disk Utility* and asking it to verify/repair 'Permissions'? Whilst you are at it, get DU to verify your hard drive to make sure that it is ok.
    If it passes all these tests and you still have the problem, post back.

  • When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

    I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

    When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.

  • In Safari, The space bar on the keyboard disappears when I go to type in the search bar? But wo

    In safari, the space bar on the keyboard disappears when I try to type in the search bar?  (yet works fine when I tap the google search bar). Any suggestions?

    Thats actually not a search bar. It's the address field. Frankly I hadn't noticed that the space doesn't display for the field, but it probably shouldn't. No well formed web address should have a space.
    It should be noted however that the address bar is not strictly for URLs. You can also type bookmark names and history items (though not web searches). Here a space would occasionally come in handy. In fact when using an external keyboard it is possible to enter spaces in this field. So this is strictly a limitation of the on-screen keyboard.

    I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
    I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
    If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
    If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

  • EMAIL-CAN NOT TYPE IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL

    I can not type on the body of my email through comcast SmartZone.  I am using Internet Explorer 9 and from my comcast home page when I access my email and try and compose an email or reply there is no where to type the body of the email.  When I go to the Comcast help page where it has Comcast Customer Central it looks distorted like you are looking at with double vision.  When I am trying to compose an email it has everything except the body to type on, it is all gray in that area and then at the bottom of the page it has the reply etc just like at the top of the page.  Also when I am on my smartzone at home versus at work it looks different.  Like on my email at home the first button is refresh and here at work it is new?? I have contacted Comcast and they were able to login to my email and had not problems.  So I do think it is a setting but I do not know where to even start. Please help,

    It could be a compatability issue between IE9 and the Comcast
    email website. Try it in compatibility view in the IE9 browser.
    You might also want to use or create another email account
    using another service like gmail as a test to see what happens.

  • Can not type in the body of email program & reply button does not work.

    I installed 10.4 (Family Pack) on my G4 400 and after a few days the email program does not work as it originally did. The reply button no longer works. (It did for a few days.) Additionally on a new mail or mail forward. I can not type in the body of the email after the first word. It just beebs at me. (It did work as normal for a few days.) I can still receive and can send mail. I have also installed this Family pack on my iMac flat panel G4 and have no mail problems. That mac is about 200 mile from this location. Before I installed 10.4 I was using 10.3.9 and mail was ok. I use high speed internet with the iMac and use dialup with the G4.

    I've lost track of what computer you have where, and I don't understand why you keep installing buggy OS X 10.4.0 on systems that worked fine under OS X 10.3.9, without being able to update to install system updates afterwards.
    That said, you may want to look at this web site for general Mac OS X troubleshooting tips:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    In particular, since I know of other people with the same problem as you that fixed it deleting caches, you may want lo look these two pages:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    In addition to some utilities mentioned there for cache cleaning, you may also consider OnyX, if for no other reason, because it's free:
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Although utilities such as OnyX allow you to clean many caches with just a click of the mouse, I'd recommend to be as selective as possible and clean them up one at a time, to try to identify which exactly is causing your problems, if any. This information, in turn, could be useful for other users. I'm pretty sure some Mail problems are related to cache issues, but I don't yet know which cache exactly is the culprit here (since it was not the Mail cache, I would say that the fonts cache should be next in the list).

  • How do I get the scrolling bar to stop popping up when I'm connected to the iTunes Store? It wont allow me to type in the search bar when it pops up.

    When I am connected to the iTunes Store a scrolling bar pops up which says "accessing itunes store" even though I'm connected.  It pops up every time i try to type a letter in the search bar, not allowing me to type.  I can type 1 letter in then it pops up.  Very frustrating.

    Do you have disk use enabled? If so, disable it.
    Check iTunes/edit/preferences. With the iPod connected of course. : )

  • Firefox loads, but no longer works. You can't type in the address bar, use help or anything. What do I do?

    I can get Firefox to open, but other than that nothing works. It doesn't respond to type or the mouse. In fact, it acts like your keyboard or mouse are no longer working. Which they are.
    It was working fine & then it just stopped.
    I've tried uninstalling & re-installing. That didn't help, nor did going back to an older version. I even tried using Windows restore point & going back in time. Nothing has helped.
    My OS is Vista.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 21.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Since I have installed IOS7.1.1 You Tube keeps crashing the minute I type in the search bar.

    Any help with this problem.?

    I'm assuming you are using the YouTube app.
    Quit the app like this. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Then try again. If the problem persists delete the YouTube app, reset your iPad like I describe below and then download the app again again.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
