No webaddress in navigation toolbar

Question

When I clicked on a link on a page, a new page used to open which showed the full address of the link in the navigation toolbar, location bar.
For some reason it now shows nothing untill the page is fully opened.
therefore stopping the opening of the page (using Esc) and selecting only part of the original linkaddress is not possible anymore.
I have reinstalled Firefox several times, which corrected the problem, but now even this does not work anymore.
Please advise.

Answer 1

You did delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling Firefox ?<br />
Doing that is important to make sure that all files are removed.
Does it still happen with all plugins disabled?
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.<br />
