I can only open pages using bookmarks. Nothing happens when I enter a address in the address line. What can I do?

On the address line. I enter a url address such a google and nothing happens. The only way I can get to pages is though my bookmarks. I had to bookmark google, search from there and then bookmark what ever page I want to come back to. Tried reloading Firefox and still not working.

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and 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).

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    after upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

    This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.

  • Firefox will only open websites via url link, does not even attempt to connect through the address bar.

    I can only open Firefox websites by using a url link. If I try to type something in the address bar it will not even attempt to load the page, no loading circle, no error or no connection message. I'm at youtube.com and I type in google.com and slap ENTER. Nothing happens. Nothing. I slap the ENTER key a couple more times to similar effect. I can open blank new tabs, but can't get the address bar to work. I can right click videos and have them open correctly in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
    Internet Explorer works perfectly fine though. Despite the ads.
    I've updated reinstalled, disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, hasn't accomplished diddly jack squat. If anyone has any idea what's going on here I would highly appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    Try clicking on Tool --> Options --> Advanced --> General tab. Uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration... ". Do you have any add-on like avg safe search installed?
    Hope that helps.

  • Nothing happens when I select system preferences in the apple drop down

  • Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

    Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

    Try carefully following the steps outlined in this Apple support document to put your iPad into recovery mode.

  • Why can't I in Firefox 19, nothing happens when I try to bookmark a page?

    Last week I realised that my old firefox did not work as all the extensions where gone and they could not be added again. I saved my old profile and made new one and then reinstalled firefox and got the 19 version. When I tried to import my old bookmarks it did not work - the folders where there but they were empty. But worse is that I cannot save any bookmarks at all. I have reinstalled Firefox, I have the 'Troubleshooter' and everything. Sometimes I can save one bookmark after I have opened the browser, but after that it does not work.
    I don't relly care if I cannot import the old bookmarks (I have imported them into explorer instead, and that worked) but at least I want to be able to save new ones. For the moment, the only reason I use Firefox is that I use Zotero, but if I keep having these problem I will change browser. I have not spend up to a working day trying to solve this problem.

    use can use this add-ones

  • I can only see adobe installer than nothing happens while installing in windows 7*

    Having problem while installing adobe after effects cs5.5. When i click on SETUP.exe, A adobe installer dialoge box appears, its complete but than nothing happens. I installed after affects before too,but like this problem never happens.Please guide me to overcome this problem.

    You need to provide much more info about your system. Not much point to just saying that something doesn't work. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try another install. If it still doesn't work, provide the install logs.

  • How do I fix when I enter about:blank in the address window it doesn't open a page?

    When I type about:blank in the url box, nothing happens. The address line just goes back to "Go to a website".

    Showing a placeholder text is the default behavior of the location bar when no page is loaded and about:blank is not a real page (you do not see it listed on the about:about page), so this is expected behavior.<br />
    If it only a problem when the browsing window isn't empty.

  • Nothing happens when i type a subject in the status bar

    when I type a subject or something I want to find e.g. wikipedia or red sea, dogs etc in the box in middle of screen, nothing happens. I am not rerouted to any page.
    The only way I can access a page is to write the address in the menu bar at the top or go into the smaller google toolbar at the top right hand corner of the screen

    You're presumably talking about the Firefox home page. After you type in a search term, hit Enter.
    If that doesn't work, then update to Firefox 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates. Then try again.
    If the problem persists, disable AVG Safe Search by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and you should be able to find it in there.
    If you don't have the AVG app installed, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
