I'm trying to type a website on the search bar and it won't let me type anything. It keeps clearing after I type a letter! Please Help!

I'm trying to type a website on the search engine but it won't let me type the website. Like, when I type a letter it'll automatically clear it unless I hold the letter down. How do I fix this?

Firefox > Alt+H+T > Show Folder > close Firefox > Delete '''user.js''' file > rerun FF

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

  • How do I make fire fox open a new tab when I type in the search bar and press enter?

    Hi,
    I know I have found this solution before, but can't find it again. Please help?
    In FF 27.0.1, when I put the cursor in the search bar, type words and hit enter, it starts the search in the current tab. How do I make FF always start the search in a new tab when I hit enter from the search bar?
    Thanks!

  • Trying to open a link in the search menu and it routes me to a survey or yellow pages

    when i put a word in the search box and it takes me to a page with list of links and options to open i try to click on the blue underlined suggestions and it will route me to different website like starfeedsmixer or another page with other options that has nothing to do with what i am looking for but if i copy the direct address and past it to the address bar it will go straight to what i want.

    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.

  • Firefox simply cannot open a few websites, like the addons page, gravatar, bitly, wikihow to name a few. Nor does any browser on my pc. Please help?

    I also tried flushing the DNS clean and also reset the hosts file to default. Please advise on what other measures I can take?

  • I was trying to update iTunes to the 10.6.3 and it won't let me, help?

    I tried updating the new iTunes and ended up uninstalling iTunes by accident and now I am unable to reinstall it, help?!
    I'm using Windows Vista

    You might get more adept advice on the iPad forum.
    It tells you to do videos because they take up a lot of room, then pictures.  If you have tons of music on there, or other media then you can fill up a drive pretty quickly.  You'll have to do an inventory of how much is on there.
    I don't know anything about iPads but if they are anything like computers you need to empty the trash to actually free up space from deleted items.

  • Tried to update my computer to the new iTunes and it won't restart.

    Two days ago I installed the new iTunes update. It asked me to restart my computer but I was working on something and put it off. I noticed the icon on my toolbar for iTunes was messed up so I clicked on it and a message came up saying something along the lines of "windows cannot find this program." I thought nothing of it, turned of my computer and the next day my computer won't start. We've tried restarting in safe mode, restore to last good configuration, and a windows repair and nothing is working. It always gets stuck on the Windows start up screen and I don't know what else to do. Has anyone else had this problem or knows a way to fix it? I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and I'm using Windows 7.

  • I am trying to sing up for a new email service and it won't let me aplly the month and date settings

    I can't fill out some apps such as filling out date and month on a login website. I am trying to create a profile on GMX.com but I can't go further than the step where it ask me to choose a month and a date it just wont stay on long enough for me to be able to chose

    upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

  • I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes.  I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card.  What am I doing wrong?

    I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card.  What should I do?

    Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card?  What exact error messages are you seeing?

  • When I type in a website in the address bar, it doesn't take me to the website I typed in. I hit enter and the green arrow also and it does nothing.

    I have to go to google and type in the website from the address bar and go from there. Also the back and forward buttons do not work on any of the betas for FF4.

    This type of behaviour can be caused by an incompatible add-on. Follow the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit. In Firefox 4 betas you can use the "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" option in the Help sub-menu to go into safe mode.
    If you use AVG and have AVG Safe Search, start by disabling that extension as it has caused problems with the location bar for some people.

  • How can I adjust the search bar to search within a specific website?

    I used to use Chrome (still miss it a little bit), but Firefox has continually grown on me.
    One feature I do miss from Chrome being able to search within a specific website from the search bar. For example, I was able to type in amazon.com, then pressing tab, and type in a specific search term, such as "The Terminator." When I pressed enter after typing "The Terminator," Chrome would automatically take me to Amazon's search results for "The Terminator."
    And it wouldn't just be Amazon either; pretty much any site that had a searchable database, Chrome would be capable of utilizing this feature. Is there any way to replicate that in Firefox?

    hello crachor, probably keyword search can offer you a similar functionality in firefox: [[How to search IMDB, Wikipedia and more from the address bar]]

  • In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
    [http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
