In my Firefox page I only can type in a subject in Google Search, so where do I type in a particular web site

I have Firefox now as my default browser. But, when the Firefox window comes up there is no place where I can type in a specific web site address. There is only a spot where I can do a Google search. How or where do I type in a particular www.----.com?

Use the "Alt" key to temporarily display menus
View > Toolbars > ...
make sure the Location bar is checkmarked
Ctrl+L should bring up the location bar even if not shown,
and will place the cursor inside the entry area.

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

I have a new problem with secondary web pages opening up without any action on my part other than simply moving the mouse pointer across the screen.

Before I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, I had a green progress line at the bottom right on my screen when I clicked on a particular web site. That green progress line no longer shows, why?

The Status Bar has been removed in Firefox 4.
If you want it back so you can see the progress bar, install this add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ Status 4-Evar]

Can't go back to a Google search

Every time I click on a link to a Google search, once I've visited the page, I can't then return to my Google search. Does anyone know why, and how I can fix it? Thank you.

Does anyone know why, and how I can fix it? Thank you.
Yes. You have several options. The easiest one IMO is using Google's Open result links in a new window which by Tab Settings can be converted to Open result links in a new tab. Then to "go back" all you need to do is close
that tab (e.g. press Ctrl-w) or switch tabs (e.g. press Ctrl-Shift-Tab). Alternatively, you can right-click the Back button and skip the item which would redirect you back to the page that you are trying to leave. Similarly, you could use
the View, Go... menu command to achieve the same result using just your keyboard (Alt-V G, CursorUp, CursorUp, Enter for example). Or if you know where you "came from" and you have the History by Order Visited Today showing you could just
click on that item.

Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site?

Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site? I need clients to be able to fill in the (registration) form on my site then submit it via email.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Clicking a search result from search bar goole seaech, always opening google home page but only can open search in new tab by middle click,really frustrating.

Whenever i am clicking search result from Google search bar, it always opens the Google home page. I can only open search result in new tab by double clicking. It started when i installed Firefox 12.

@mstm, please ensure that you write some thing in search bar before you click search icon. without entering anything will redirect to google.com. And make sure that you are clicking on search icon not home icon.

I need an import tab added to my firefox "file" tab on top of firefox page so I can import favorites from explorer

I have favorites in explorer I want to be able to import to firefox but I do not have an "import" tab under the "file" tab on top of my
firefox page that will allow me to do this. Could you help me get
such a tab added?

The ''Import'' command can be found in the Library (Bookmarks menu -> Show all Bookmarks).
More information can be found in this [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer|Guide to Importing Favourites from Internet Explorer]].

All documents on my laptop are now coming up BEHIND my Firefox page. I can't click on anything and see it in front of my tabs in Firefox. Just starated. Fix?

Does not matter if it is a download, or a document I already have up and want to see again. They all go BEHIND my firefox page of tabs. Just started doing this. How do I change it back? So annoying!

Firefox does not have an always on top option.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

How can iset up firefox to allow me to view pics on a particular web site?

Hi, i visited a web site that i frequently visit and now can't view images.
An error message comes up at top of page which states application request can't be executed from application pool. So i am trying to figure out which steps i can take to allow me to view images?

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
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't go back to original Google search page in Safari 5.0.2 update

A couple of days ago updated Safari to 5.0.2. I used to do a Google search, advance thru a few pages, on a link, and then click the "return" arrow in the Google box, top right, and would be returned to my "original" search page. In the Safari 5.0.2, the "return arrow" isn't there anymore. Where is it?? Very annoying, requiring more entries now to get back to my "original" search. Did Apple remove this or is it just turned off. Thanks!,

Don't know what that is. There used to be an arrow in the google box at top right that aloud me to go back to the original page. But now if I search google from the bookmarks bar.. no arrow appears. So, what is the Snap Back from the extensions gallery??

Firefox won't allow typing into Google search bar whereas Chrome will

Hi,
I'm currently running Firefox 6.0.2 on Windows XP SP3 with Outlook 2003 SP3. No changes made recently to anything.
Suddenly several errors happening at once, most involving Firefox.
1) Homepage Google. I cannot type anything in Google search bar.
If I replace it with e.g. Yahoo I can type anything, but replace it with Google and it is blocked again. I have re-booted, removed and replaced homepage etc no help.
2) If I type www.hotmail.co.uk in Firefox address bar at top of screen it refuses to find the site. Nothing happens at all. Any other address I have typed in it had found ok, but this one remains blocked.
3) It is difficult to see an immediate relationship to Firefox with this one, but it started at exactly the same time and also involves Google, so it is a bit of a coincidence otherwise. I keep getting Google delay messages on many of my emails. In fact they never get through, and I don't even have a Google email account!
I use SKY email, Outlo0k as above and both are working normally apart from the bizarre Google messages as below:

I have removed the actual email addresses but they were perfectly accurate. Resending the emails by cutting and pasting worked in all cases so it is hard to see why the originals failed.
I would be grateful for any help or suggestions
Many thanks

In the address bar type "about:config" without the quotation marks.
Then in the Filter field type keyword.
Then double click keyword.URL
and type or copy and paste the following: "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=" without the quotations.
And there you have it. Your browser will use google to search.

Can not open a particular web site

Hi, I always tried to open one web site and it used to open well in Firefox and IE. but since last few days it stopped opening both in FF and IE. It gives error as
1. The connection has timed out The server at www.eng-tips.com is taking too long to respond.
2.If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
3.If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I Google with all above questions and tried most of the solutions, nothing works. Wondering why it stooped opening suddenly ? I tried to open it from other locations just to check if its down but its fine and working but can not open from my home internet. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
