I can not type inn address in the navigation bar

When trying to type anything in the address/navigation bar, firefox hang.

So you can't even the location bar in a new unmodified profile without copying any files to it?
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your 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.
*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.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I just upgraded from vista to windows 7 and now when i try to type in a url address in the navigation bar nothing but gibberish appears

    whatever letter i type into the navigation bar, some other letter or number appears. i do not have this problem on chrome or internet explorer.

    go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working. If this doesn't work then try this
    Update all Firefox Plug-ins -> https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    If Updating Plug-ins doesn't work then follow these links.

  • When I type an address in the location bar and hit Enter nothing happens. I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I fix it so that the Enter key works?

    When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Since Firefox 4 Beta installed an update

    The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
    Just disabling it solved the problem.

  • Can not type in address bar after updating Firefox

    I can not place the cursor and type in the address bar and search boxes (e.g. the one on the Firefox support page).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • Can not type on address bar or delete text

    I am not able to type on the address bar where you normally type anything such as www.domain.com or delete any text that is already there.

    Try to open a new window to see if that gives a working location bar. If that works then close the not working window.

  • I can not type a url in the browser window when I open a new tab. Why not?

    I open a new tab click in browser window and see cursor but it does not blink. If I click in google search window it works fine. I can redirect using bookmarks but if I want to just type it in, it acts blocked or locked. Could I have done something to cause this? How can I fix this?

    Are you using the same extensions on both computers?

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

  • 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.

  • I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

    I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

    I would think you'd have to change the language to British English to get the pound sign. THat or turn off your wireless keyboard and get the pound sign from the on screen keyboard, then turn your wireless board back on.

    does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

    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.

    Reset your phone by holding down the home button with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. Try it again.

  • How do I do , if I can not type the word on my iPad ?

    I can not type my iPad , when I type , it takes long by one word. So how do I do ?

    On your iPad you have Inboxes above and Accounts below.  Open the mailbox from the Accounts section and you'll see the trash folder.  Touch Edit and then the message you want to move.  Once you've touched it you'll see the option to move it and touch Move and then you'll see the options of where you can place it, like in a folder, or Inbox, etc.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • 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).
