Missing address/search bar

my address /search bar has suddenly disappeared. i've tried going to View-Customize Address Bar. The address/search bar is in the default set. I've even tried dragging a new one in there but nothing happens. Any suggestions? thanks

  • Clearing the Address Search Bar

    How do I clear the Address Search Bar history?

    Resetting Safari doesn't do anything to reset the Address Search.
    The Reset is not designed to clear the URL prompts. As I mentioned, these prompts are fed from a number of sources. Short of eliminating your bookmarks, history etc. the prompts are here to stay. Clearing your history and cache ought to eliminate those prompts not associated with existing bookmarks, but that's only temporary. Also, there may be other sources feeding the prompts.
    Space bar is by far the easiest (although not very convenient) way to avoid seeing the prompts.

  • Bookmarks are lost and address/search bar is nonfunctional due to non exisistant corrupt

    Firefox unexpectedly updated itself and upon doing so, lost all of my bookmarks. Also, when a new browser window opens, three windows open: the welcome window, the start page and the invisible hand page. Every time, as if I have just Firefox every time. Also, the address and search bar don't work. I can search through the Google search on the start page, but the search on the header is no longer functional.
    I have tried to start the page in the safe mode to no avail. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I am missing my search bar to Firefox - how to do I get it back

    My Search Bar is missing - how do I get it back??

    Do you still have the Navigation Toolbar visible?
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help.

  • How do i get rid of address/search bar in mountain lion?

    Is there a way to bring back the seperate Google search bar in Safari? I loved the simplicity of typing "apple" and clicking enter in the address bar and Safari would direct me to apple.com. Now it takes me to Google, creating and additional step in the process. Does anyone have a solution, other than having to type .com every time?

    This will work for Safari in Mountain Lion:
    Keep bookmarks in the bookmarks bar

  • One solution for missing Linux search bar options in Debian-based distros.

    All search options and the ability to add/remove/edit and get more disappeared.
    I uninstalled Firefox for politcal reasons in April, then reinstalled it (after a bit of research convinced me my protest was better aimed elsewhere.) The search bar failed to work.
    These all failed:
    > sudo apt-get remove firefox
    > sudo apt-get install firefox
    > sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox
    > rm -Rvf ~/mozilla/firefox*
    menu-->help-->troubleshooting [reset Firefox] nor [open profile directory]
    SOLUTION:
    When searching for version numbers in dpkg, I noticed two packages for firefox
    > dpkg -l | grep firefox
    ii firefox 29.0.1 amd64 The Firefox web browser
    rc firefox-solydxk-adjustments 29.0.1 all Firefox adjustments for SolydXK
    > man dpkg
    confirmed my suspicion that the solydxk tweaks to firefox may have been broken by removing and installing firefox. (rc indicated neither properly installed, nor uninstalled.)
    > sudo apt-get remove firefox-solydxk-adjustments
    > sudo apt-get install firefox-solydxk-adjustments
    Everythings working now. dpkg shows both packages installed correctly.
    > dpkg -l | grep firefox
    ii firefox 29.0.1 amd64 The Firefox web browser
    ii firefox-solydxk-adjustments 29.0.1 all Firefox adjustments for SolydXK
    I don't know how many Debian forks (Mint, Solyd, Ubuntu, Librenet, etc) might be similarly affected, but I thought I'd get this out there since I know at least one Mint user has seen it this past March.

    Note that Firefox 30.0 has be out since Tuesday June 10 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Mozilla.org] so there may be a Firefox 30.0 now from your Linux distro if you choose to use those builds instead.

  • Missing address search option on Nokia 5800

    Hi,
    Just bought a 1 day licence to see how this app works.  I was expecting some features to appear - they didn't.
    I read the help and it says to go Options->Address Search but that option is not there.  I have never been able to find an option to locate an address.
    The maps software is at version 3.01 and the phone's firmare is 2. something - I ran the software updater and there's nothing more recent available to me.
    Perhaps I can re-install it?  If I remove it, where would I get another copy?
    Thanks.
    Peter.

    Regarding "I read the help and it says to go Options->Address Search but that option is not there"
    Your manual is outdated.
    At the bottom of the screen (within Maps | Maps view) you should see a magnifying glass button. Just press and there is your search option.
    (You are not alone, see my reply -as Waits-: /discussions/board/message?board.id=navigation&message.id=12256#M12256)

  • Missing Mail Search bar

    From time to time my Mail Search bar disappears. Sometimes I remember how to get it back, and sometimes--like today--I don't. Anyway, how do I get my Mail Search bar back?

    That did it, although I did have to try it twice. Anyway, it's back now. Thanks, until next time, and there will be a next time

  • What's the advantage of the unified address/search bar?

    So far I've found several disadvantages.  But I know that some people prefer the unified bar, but I can't see why.  Can anyone explain the benefits that I'm not seeing?

    This is what Apple says.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5364
    Smart Searchfield.
    You can type both search terms and web addresses into the field. As you begin to type, Safari automatically suggests a webpage match, called a Top Hit, and highlights it. Simply press the Enter key to select the Top Hit.
    If the Top Hit is not the site you intended to visit, check the list of relevant suggestions, which are drawn from your preferred search engine, bookmarks and history. Click or use the arrow keys to select a search term or webpage, then press Enter.
    In Safari select Safari > Preferences… > General (toolbar) and select the search engine you would like Safari to use. The choices are:
    Google
    Yahoo!
    Bing

  • When logging in to my Mindbody scheduling program, the characters I type in the username and password box appear in the address search bar above. can't log in

    in other words I cannot log in to the site Mindbody, because when using Firefox when I start to type in my username the letters show up in the address bar above, and not in the username box. The same goes with the password box.

    Hello wendysue, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Loaded 20.1. When I add Session Manager extension, address & search bars disappear. Can't retreive unless I reload Firefox from scratch. How to fix?

    No prior Firefox version. Started with 20.1. Have not loaded 20.1 on my other computers, so i don't know if the problem is universal. Need Session Manager because Firefox crashes frequently.

    Session Manager has had a lot of bug fixes the past week, I suspect mostly related to the new per-window private browsing feature. Could you try the new version 0.8.0.5? You need to use the "Versions" page to get it, as it hasn't yet been approved for the main page:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/versions/#version-0.8.0.5
    Hope that helps. You'll also see some even newer pre-release versions addressing specific bugs. I wouldn't try those just yet unless you see that one of them fixes issues you find in 0.8.0.5.

  • Safari Search Bar Missing

    Hi,
    I searched the community forums about this issue with Safari. I went to View > Customize toolbar... I see the search bar on the 'default set in toolbar', but I don't see it when I use Safari! I recall modifying the plist of Safari to remove the search bar because I want to the function of the search bar in Chrome and I can't reverse it. I tried re-installing Safari, but that does not work.
    Advise.
    OS X: 10.7.2
    Safari: Version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7)

    I tried dragging out the plist, it created a new one, but it's the same thing.
    @ CT, it worked
    However, I'd like to know if this is a security issue having to having the address/search bar feature, yes? For example, logging into my bank might leak some information because of the modification in the plist.
    I need reassurance.

  • My search bar disappeared. how do i get it back?

    The search bar on safari home page disappeared. How do I retrieve it?

    Some possibilities:
    The search bar and address bar are combined (i.e., there aren't 2 separate entry areas).
    The Safari View menu has a Hide/Show Toolbar command.
    Right click (Control click) on toolbar will bring up a Customize Toolbar command and from there you can drag the default set (or just the address/search bar) back onto the toolbar.

  • Can't turn off favorites dropdown in search bar

    Using Safari 8.0.2 in OS X 10.10.1.  I am trying to disable the dropdown that shows the grid of icons of stuff in your Favorites bookmarks folder when you click on the unified address/search bar. I have gone into Preferences->Search and unchecked "Show Favorites", but this seems to do nothing, e.g, this dropdown is still appearing. Has anyone else gotten this behavior? I tried signing into a guest account which should presumedly create all new preferences files from scratch in case I got a corrupted preferences file, but once again, despite unchecking the Show Favorites preference, the dropdown is still showing up.
    Thanks for any insights.

    I had the same problem, unchecking the "show Favorites" would not eliminate the favorites drop down box on my MacBook Air, but I worked fine on my wife's Mac.  I have cookies installed on my MBA, but she didn't on her Mac.  To solve the problem, I booted in safe mode. checked and unchecked the "show Favorites" box, rebooted, and the it was gone. Cookies still seems to work properly. It has been driving me nuts for 6 months.

    What version of Firefox are people using? do you have any firewall or internet security software and what version?
    To find out the version of software you have go to Help and then choose About. I remember reading an article a while ago about a firewall application that when they did an update, it stopped some browsers from working or something like that.
    I wonder if this is something similar?
