I want my address bar DROP DOWN menu to show my recently-TYPED in URLs, not random websites. HOW????

I have searched high and low on the internet for an answer, and I've spent an hour going through each tab on my internet options folder.
All I want is for my address bar to show my history of what URLs I have TYPED in, in order of being RECENT.
Please, please help me. I don't know if this is an add-on, or not. I have gone to Tools, Options, Privacy and checked and unchecked just about everything. I've had it to remember my history at 99 days, and at 1 day. Nothing is working. Maybe they just don't make it that way anymore.

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work

    Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work. It is only happening on a couple of my site collections and is affecting on the main page of those collections. There is only one web part on the main page, it is the Picture Library Slideshow web part. When
    I remove that web part, the menu's come back and work with no problem. I re-add the web part and the menu's stop working. Not finding any error's in the server logs, there are no visual error's thrown.  Any advice on what might be happening? I've checked
    the Java update on our computers and it has the latest version.  Open to any advice at this point.

    Hi,
    How does the Top Navigation Bar dropdown menu issue look like?
    Could you please provide a screenshot about the issue, also may detecte the problematic elements by using IE browser developer tool (keyboard F12)?
    Please also check if it is related IE compatibility issue.
    Thanks

  • I want to build a drop down menu like the one featured here

    Hi there, I am wanting to build a drop down menu exactly like the one on this site (see college information button, top right)
    http://www.barnsley.ac.uk/index.php
    I have a lot of content, and really like the idea of hiding behind a button at the top, and when the user clicks on it it opens up and pushes the rest of the page down!
    Anyone know how?

    jQuery isn't a program as much as a collection of tools and effects built in JavaScript, a "framework".

  • When clicking on privious sites in the address bar drop down Firefox has started to just reload the current page, is there a fix?

    Until recently I could click on resent sites in the address bar drop down, but now it just reloads the current page (still shows icons and addresses for the sites I'm clicking on). I've tired clearing history and cache, is this a known bug?

    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

  • How do i add web addresses to my url address bar drop down?

    i know how to delete them. i want to know how to add. i have a few in there already but it's not at the max.

    I have always been able to find my most used urls by dropping down from the address bar, but suddenly this option seemed to be gone and there were now none of the former urls shown there. I thought someone using the computer had cleared history or something but that was not the situation. I do not turn off the computer much and so we slowly accumulated some of the urls back into the drop down menu. Then suddenly a couple of days ago, they were also gone! This is quite annoying. How do I keep them there and not have them eliminated? I would not mind seeing a long list of the sites I have been on so I could go directly to them without doing a lot of typing.
    It would be nice to be able to type in an address without having to change https to http each time when the only way seems to be to go to a site by typing in the address and I had been on a secure site before hand. I do not consider eliminating the drop down list an "improvement". I wish you would allow that to continue and be edited by the user if he needs to do so.
    Most of the time issues are caused by making "upgrades" which change the way things are done with no valid reason to do so. It there is a need for a different way to make firefox run on a netbook or phone then make it special for that and keep the old system going for us users on laptops and desktops. I can understand making some changes due to security or virus sort of issues, but I am almost certain that those changes can be make underneath what the normal user will see and use to navigate the program.
    Allowing those who have the time and energy to make some personal changes to the way it looks and operates is fine with me, but don't force all your users to make those changes too. I am sure the interface for firefox could be changed in the way things are accessed but not force us all to use that way...........call it a custom version or something like that.
    For instance, I know there are hot keys for a lot of things but I have better uses for my limited memory than to memorize them. The problem is that they are all different for each program you use and if they all did the same thing in every program I might be inclined to do so. But that is not the case. So have some compassion for the casual user who is not a complete computer geek who lives and breathes computers night and day.

  • Can't Block Person in iChat, with task bar drop down menu in Buddies.

    Hello : )
    I was wondering if anyone knows how i can use my "Block Person", on iChat (task bar with drop down menu in Buddies). I am pretty sure this worked has worked before , the command is there it just seems to stay greyed out. I know it can be done in the Security tab / ichat preferences, I would like it to work under the Buddies drop down as well. I know it did before, my HD was replaced. Help would be most appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.
    Eme;~[)

    Hi Eme,
    Ok. iChat 3 has a setting that needs to be set if you are going to use the same screen name on two copmuters or on two apps on the same computer.
    Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Select the AIM account in question in the left hand column
    Select the Account Info tab.
    Log out of AIM (iChat menu)
    Check the check box "Allow Multiple Logins for This Account"
    Log back into AIM.
    If this is not checked starting iChat 3 will boot off (log out) any other AIM Client using the same screen name whether it is on the same computer or not
    From what the ISP says and what you have posted here it seems the modem is in Bridge mode.
    I take it if you open System Preferences > Network > Select Airport from the second drop down > TCP/IP tab you IP is shown as 10.0.1.2 ?
    And the drop down just above that says "USING DHCP" ?
    This would mean the Airport is in default mode and Issuing Addresses.
    Also by default an Airport would do NAT. (Network Address Translation)
    This measn the Airport sorts out where each bit of data has to go.
    It is different from other routers as you don't have the specify which ports are going to whch ports on one IP (Port Forwarding)
    Which Netopia device is it ?
    3347 ?
    If it is this one you may need to look at the QoS settings.
    These are setings that are supposed to protct you form reciveing data too quickly. (helpful if you are running a busy web site but restrictive sometimes for iChat).
    As you are omly talking about sorting out Block lists it is prpobably the multiple login option that needs doing.

  • How do I make a drop down menu selection show up in another web page?

    What I am trying to accomplish is this.  I have a page with various drop down menu selections that I want to transfer the selection to a secured web page. What happens now is once the selection is made it goes to the secure page but then the user has to again select the choice again.  Is there way to keep the selection chosen in the linked page?

    You can set the "selected" value in the second page based on the input from the first page.
    Ignor the language referance used below for the example and simple use the concept with your desired language.
    Second Page form:
    <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
      <select name="testing" id="testing">
        <option value="Value 1" <% if ( Passed values == Value 1 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 1</option>
        <option value="Value 2" <% if ( Passed values == Value 2 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 2</option>
      </select>

  • Drop Down Menu allways shows the Font Menu

    Hi Everyone.
    I work on a Mac G5 Version 10.4.11
    in Illustrator CS3.
    Right now I am trying to create a glossy button and therefore
    I have to use the drop down menu of the transparency window.
    When I press on the drop down menu (right now it says Normal)
    instead of showing me the options like Screen) it shows me the Font Menu
    (Show recent fonts, and show all fonts). I tried updating Illustrator and
    I first deaktivated and then removed all fonts from the System, thinking
    that I had a font problem. But that did not help.
    Do you know what the problem could be?
    Thank you.

    Hi Anoo,
    It does depend on what is being used to display the drop-down menu in the first place.
    To have a menu disappear on its own, you would probably need to use the onmouseout event: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536948(VS.85).aspx
    This can be used to call a javascript function that closes whatever object you have opened to display the menu and will be triggered as soon as the use moves the mouse away from the menu.

  • Cannot edit my navigation bar / drop down menu

    Somebody pls help me! I am new to Dreamweaver, but have been
    studying it heavily the pst 3 weeks (using Sams Teach Yourself
    book).
    I have inherited a site and switched their navigation bar
    from the current one to a different (drop down) that was stored in
    the library folder. I have TRIED AND TRIED to edit these links ,
    add drdop down items, delete some, etc but cannot seem to access
    the 'show pop up menu' option...it is GRAYED OUT.
    When I open the library file...only a navigation bar is in
    it. I select one of teh nav buttons, and I am SUPPOSE to see the +
    sign in the behavior panel in bold, but it stays grayed out no
    matter what I do. I have tried double clicking the text (on
    MouseOver), as an MX user suggested, but no menu of options pops up
    here at all (although it did for her). Furthermore, I even tried
    right clicking on the behavior panel where the "on Mouse Over"
    identifies the action as "ShowPop Up Menu" (vs. hide pop up menu)
    and I DO get a pop up menu with "EDIT BEHAVIOR" as an option. I
    click on this, and nothing happens.
    UGH! WHY CAN'T I EDIT THIS???
    Thanks so much for your help!

    I think your friend is confused. You have never been able to
    edit the DW/FW
    pop-up menus in a template controlled page in any version of
    DW. This is
    but one of the many reasons one would never want to use these
    menus. There
    are so many better ways to do them, and Alan has given you
    some links....
