I fedup with my address bar!

I know that one can search using the default search engine by typing into the address bar too. My problem is when I type some keywords into the URL bar and press enter, ff try to connect to the server as if there is an address of some website and en up with "Problem Loading Page" message.
For example, if I type "ielowutil.exe" in the URL bar, ff tries to connect to www.ielowutil.exe
How can I stop ff from making this kind of errors?

Best is to use a keyword search and assign a (one letter) keyword to a bookmark or search engine if you want to do a one word search.
If there are spaces (i.e. more than one word) then Firefox will do a search, but with one word Firefox will first try to resolve the URL.

  • Opening a Browser Window with no Address Bar

    Hello All,
    I am working on an application which needs to open a new browser window. I need to hide the URL from the user.
    Right now, I can open the window with no toolbar or address bar with the following command:
    String cmd = "cmd.exe /c start javascript:window.open('http://www.google.ca','main','menubar=0,location=0,toolbar=0,personalbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=yes')";
    However, this first opens up a blank window and then the window with no address bar. If I make the command:
    String cmd = "cmd.exe /c start javascript:window.open('http://www.google.ca','main','menubar=0,location=0,toolbar=0,personalbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=yes';window.close();)";
    then the user is asked if they wish to close the first blank window.
    Does anyone know how to open a new browser window via the command line without the annoying extra window?

    It works with the following command but the new browser window isn't in "focus".
    cmd.exe /c start javascript:window.open('http://www.google.ca','main','menubar=0,location=0,toolbar=0,personalbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=yes');window.opener=top;window.close();

  • Open Browser with No Address Bar from Java

    How to open a IE Browser from Java with no address bar, tool bar etc ?
    I am able to open browser like the listed code, but the requirement for me is it has to open with no "Address Bar", buttons.
    I know we can do that in "Javascript" but how to or is there a way to do that in java/swing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
    String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
    String url = "www.google.com"
    String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );

    Use javascript for this. I would do it this way....
    You can decide with JS if you want tot hide so elements from your browser. Should not be very difficult to implement

  • How  to do getRequestDispatcher().forward with client address bar changed?

    getRequestDispatcher().forward will not change the address bar of client, this will cause some problem,
    Following is our webapp folder:
    /test1/a.jsp(This page include <img src="images/1.gif" ....>)
    /test1/images/1.gif
    /servlet1 (This is a servlet with the code getRequestDispatcher().forward("/test1/a.jsp") ) When run /servlet1 , the image "1.gif " can not display, because
    it refers to "/images/1.gif" and not "/test1/images/1.gif".
    Is there any good idea to resolve this problem?
    Thanks!

    The standard solution is to use a <base> tag to indicate to the page where relative links should be resolved from.
    eg
    <head>
    <base href="http://www.myserver.com/test1/images/a.jsp" />
    </head>
    <body>
    <img src="images/1.gif" ....>
    </body>You can build it dynamically using request.getServerName(), request.getContextPath()...
    Struts provides a <html:base/> tag which does this for you.

  • Firefox opens up with no address bar,bookmarks,etc. It also starts up as a white screen slowly turning black.

    As my title suggests every time I open up my firefox the address bar and all doesn't appear on the top along with it starts off white followed by a small black square until the entire area of the browser is blackened.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.
    *Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to show the Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area

  • If you view Firefox in full screen can you get favourite toolbar to appear with the address bar?

    When you put Firefox in full screen all the toolbars disappear. When you hover over the top of the screen the address bar and 'open tabs' bar appear. Is it possible to get the favourites toolbar to appear as well?
    If not is there any other way to access favourites without having to close Firefox?

    You can also toggle that setting if you hover the mouse to the top and right click a toolbar to open the toolbar context menu: Hide Toolbars.
    That won't show the bookmarks toolbar AFAIK even if it is selected. You can access the bookmarks via the Bookmarks menu button if you place that button on a visible Navigation Toolbar or Tab bar.
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line to make the Bookmarks toolbar visible in full screen mode.

    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #PersonalToolbar[moz-collapsed="true"] { visibility: visible !important; }</nowiki></pre>

  • No any response with clicking address bar, not to a specific url.

    - "enter key" is okay
    - i set google.cn as homepage of firefox
    - it really worked days ago
    - already tried to restart computer as well as firefox browser
    - IE browser works as expected
    - tried searching the issue via internet, some Q&A are talking the same, but none of them has certain workaround
    - although i detected webpage directly from browser 'History', issue persists, none of them could be opened
    - my firefox ver is 10.0 almost the latest one.

    I figured it out: Changing the default page in the "PUBLIC" user profile.

  • Safari address bar search behaviour

    Hi,
    I am a recent convert to the Mac platform and since moving over I have experienced a number of problems with Firefox. The most marked problem is very poor flash video (YouTube) performance i.e. choppy & stuttering playback until entire video has been loaded, but overall it is slow and sometimes hangs (spinning ball) for no apparent reason.
    I have tried Safari and have found it's performance to be wonderful compared to Firefox, and there are no problems with flash video. However I have some issues with the address bar search behaviour and I am wondering whether this is normal or not.
    In Firefox, when I type something into the address bar, search results from history and bookmarks appear. The same thing happens in Safari, but it seems the only way to get a bookmark to appear is to type the actual domain address, not the name of the bookmark. Also, if a bookmark has a subdomain other than www, then that must be typed otherwise the address won't appear.
    For example, if I have a bookmark as follows:
    Apple - Support - Discussions - Forum Home - http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
    I can't bring that site up by typing apple, support or forum in the address bar, I have to type the subdomain name discussions in order for it to appear.
    I am posting to ask whether this is normal behaviour and whether it can be changed so that address bar search can include the bookmark name as well as the domain name itself. Thanks for your help,

    Yes, it's perfectly normal; and no, you can't change the behavior to recognize the page name of the actual URL. You can always send feedback to Apple and request that feature; they might actually do it sometime in the future. Use this URL:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • Tabs fail and address bar is glitched

    Hi, I just downloaded safari 3 now, and when I try to open new tabs, it shows a loading symbol on the side (where the tabs is supposed to open up) but then it just disappears. In addition to that there seems to be a problem with the address bar; when a new page is loading the address is partially in bold font. That isn't really a problem but I think it's related to the tab issue.

    Hi. If your OS is up to date via Software Update you shouldn't have had to download Safari 3. It is included in 10.4.11.
    I suggest you go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    and download/install the Combo update.
    But first you need to check that there is no errors on your start-up disk that caused your Safari problems. Insert your Tiger install disk in the drive and restart. As soon as you hear the start-up chime press and hold the 'C' key. When the installer has finished loading select your Language then Next/Continue. On the next page look at the top left of the menu bar and select Utilities/Disk Utility. Choose your startup volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and select Repair Disk. If D.U. reports that the volume appears to be OK quit DU, quit Installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
    If D.U. reports that repairs were made re-run repair until you get the message that the volume appears to be OK. Then quit D.U., quit installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
    Then go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select your start-up volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and choose Repair Permissions. Once that has finished quit D.U.
    Then back up at least your important files, or preferably create a clone of your system on an external drive if you have one. Then go to the above link, download it and install. It is a large file, will take a while to download, and takes a long time to install with a long double restart. Do Not interrupt the process once it has begun.
    Good luck and post back with how things go or if you have any queries that you want to clear up before you embark upon the above.

  • How to make google default search engine in address bar.

    How do I make it so that when I search with my address bar it ALWAYS uses Google, regardless of what search engine is selected in the search bar? It used to be like this, but a recent Firefox update altered it. Now, when I search with my address bar it uses the search engine selected in the search bar...if I wanted to do that, I would just use the search bar! Any suggestions?

    I'm also having this same problem... it's the first thing that Firefox has ever done that's made me contemplate getting a different browser. The "update" seems like a step back, and a removal of a very good feature. I'm in the same boat of wondering if there's any work-arounds or add-ons to restore the old usage, even if it comes at the risk of having my address bar's search engine occasionally hijacked.

  • Browser's helpful URL address bar is not actually ...

    In context to S60's default browser. When you start browser, it takes you to deafult Bookmarks page with URL address bar at the bottom of the screen. And there is pretyped URL http://www. to make life easier where we can starting typing main part of the web address.
    This is actually not helpful because -
    1) most of the web sites we visit from mobile starts with m. or mobile.
    2) many mail sites start with mail.
    3) and for all those websites which starts with www. can start without even mentioning www (as this has becom norm these days e.g., nokia.com, hotmail.com, ovi.com etc).
    Lets visit mobile.xyz.com. Since there is no direct way to go to URL address bar (except long way of going through Options), you type random character on the keyboard, this character gets typed in the bar and cursor is finally there, hit backspace 5 times and then you are ready to type the actual URL.
    What nokia should do is change pretyped URL to just http://
    Don't you think this is a common sense?
    Message Edited by willstay on 11-Dec-2009 10:54 AM

    I agree with you.
    It is very confused some time.
    Blackbery solved same problem easy. when u open browser default string http://www is already typed and if u pres backspace key (like delete or "C") it will delete www string only. hope nokia will find some solution for it in future

    If you right-click (or Mac equivalent) a blank area of the tab bar, do you have the option to turn on the Navigator toolbar? That's the one with the address bar and search box.

    Does anyone know whether or not Safari update 5.0.1 fixes the problem that many users have with the address bar causing safari to crash? I am hesitant to download it because of the issue in Safari 5.
