When I type a site into the address bar,and hit enter for it to go,it won't go,it used to. now i have to hit the lil green arrow and it's really annoying =/ this just suddenly happened. and ive uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. help?

This issue can be caused by an extension that is not working properly. 
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My cookies disappear when I close Firefox and reopen it. This started about two days ago. Even my Yahoo mail now forces me to login every time. Prior to this, it would retain the login and password for two weeks. What is causing this?

My bank (ING) has cookies that retain my login. Without the login, I have to answer the challenge questions every time. I am not set for private browsing and I have accept cookies from third party sites and until they expire.

As a follow up, I've discovered that this is happening in IE on the same websites. When I log into a different computer and test the same scenarios, the cookies do not disappear. It seems to be a problem on my computer. However, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be glad to hear it.

In the address bar, when i hit the down arrow that brings up the list of web sites previously visited, when i click on a site to go to, nothing happens,

Ok, I'm asking again. In the address bar, when i hit the pull down arrow to show the list of sites i frequently visit i usually click on where i want to go...say espn.com, lately, when i click on the espn.com or any of the other sites listed, nothing happens, its stays on google, my home page. Pls help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

I want the cursor to be in the address bar when creating a new window; it works for new tabs and in a new private window, but not in safe mode.

I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.

The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

How do I disable search suggestions in the Address Bar when I start to type?

As of the latest version, typing in the address bar suggests Google search terms in addition to suggestions from history. How can I change it to the previous mode of only suggesting from my history?
Additionally, this update seems to have removed the address bar autofilling the top suggestion as I type. How can I get this feature back as well?
Thanks in advance.

You can check the browser.urlbar.autoFill pref(s) on the about:config page.

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
Thank you.

Might be a corrupted database ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

In Firefox now there is a 5 second screen delay in keyboard entry appearing on the screen (in Gmail). Much disk activity during this delay. This began about 10 days ago.

In Firefox only there is now a 5 second screen delay between keyboard entry and the input appearing on the screen (in Google Docs Gmail). There is much disk activity during this delay. This began about 10 days ago. The start may have began concurrent with a Firefox update. I have been using Firefox for years. This problem is not present when I run the same functions in IE

Nope, that's fine.
The MSI rep I forwarded this to said that he has forwarded on-ward as he did not have a GE40 for testing at the time.
He did also agree and seem to think there is a problem with the EC that would cause this issue.
I expect he may post here once a fix has been found.
Thanks!
I'll wait. I think it is clear that the problem goes away when I restart laptop, and also after changing and accepting settings in Control Panel -> Keyboard. But next fn + func. key will again cause default settings

I want to Remove RSS icon from the address bar when I click on My SMF Forum

I have a SMF forum when I click on the login page I see an RSS icon in the right of the address bar next to a star.
The forum opens in an RSS to subscribe, which is stupid as it is not an RSS feed, it is a forum. I want to get rid of this and do not know how to do it.

This is a feature of firefox, although it may have been removed from firefox 4beta ( at least in default set up, no idea why). The appearance of the RSS icon within the location bar is intended to inform that RSS feeds are available from the site in use. You may note that this firefox forum we are using has such an icon displaying in the location bar, that is because feeds are available allowing you to track the threads, no doubt something similar happens with the SMF forum you mention.
If it is possible to remove the RSS icon from the location bar it will certainly not be straightforward, other than by upgrading to 4beta, and that is available now, and may be run whilst the stable version firefox 3.6 is still installed on your computer. (iirc there is an add-on available to add the rss icon to Fx4)
If a post answers your enquiry, you may wish to use the button alongside it to mark it as solved.

Why is it that now, when I click on a link for a website I've saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I can't drag it to an email to share the link.

Why is it that in these newer versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I open a link that I've saved, it does NOT display the URL in the address bar any more?
I can't drag and drop the link into an email, and I can't see the actual web address I'm connected to for reference OR for security purposes. Why was this changed?
It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link I've saved, using the Windows "Properties", then copying and pasting the URL into the Firefox address bar, before I can do anything with it.

No changes have been made and no problem with extensions has interfered with the URL appearing in Firefox before. Only with the last few new versions of Firefox has this cropped up. Also, the link opens correctly - it just doesn't display the URL in the address bar, instead it just reads (in gray) "Search or enter address." How could another extension interfere if Firefox is the sole program associated with .htm, .html files?

Why do I see about:blank in the address bar when clicking a link within an email item in my yahoo mail account?

I have Os X and Firefox 4. When I click a link in an email in my yahoo mail account, the address bar first shows about:blank and then goes on to obtain the address of the link. Is this a virus, or hacker, or what? Thanks for your help.

You only see the URL after Firefox has made a connection. 
During the initial state you see about:blank in the location bar.

Cursor automatically moves to the address bar when I open a new page

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, when I open a new tab the typing cursor automatically moves to the address bar instead of the search engine bar. I have the tab mix plus addon. A solution appears to have been found for the same problem with the newtabhomepage addon, but since the two are not compatible with each other, I don't want to switch addons. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

If your using the 'New Tab Homepage' extension then this happens when you upgrade to Firefox.
Open up Firefox and click on Ctrl+Shift+A to bring up the add on/extensions menu. Have a look in the Extensions bit for an Extension that has a version no of 0.4.3. if you have it then it needs uninstalling. Then download the new file from the mediafire link
http://www.mediafire.com/?v1113g9noytswdv
You will then be asked if you sure you want to install it and drag it on to the extensions page in Firefox.
Once installed restart Firefox. Once restarted your homepage will load whenever you start a new tab.

How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

Sometimes the address bar / url field is filled up with weird characters. How can I stop this?

The address bar in Firefox fills sometimes completely with strange characters. There are no letters or numbers, but symbols / icons. Is this a bug or something that I can change? Here you can see how this looks.

Try disabling the RSS Icon 1.0.6 extension. A number of users have reported that extension as causing that type of display.

In the address bar,when I click enter it wont go,i have to click the arrow? this changed about two days ago. Id really like to get it to go back to just clicking enter and it goes.
