Nothing happens when i type a subject in the status bar

when I type a subject or something I want to find e.g. wikipedia or red sea, dogs etc in the box in middle of screen, nothing happens. I am not rerouted to any page.
The only way I can access a page is to write the address in the menu bar at the top or go into the smaller google toolbar at the top right hand corner of the screen

You're presumably talking about the Firefox home page. After you type in a search term, hit Enter.
If that doesn't work, then update to Firefox 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates. Then try again.
If the problem persists, disable AVG Safe Search by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and you should be able to find it in there.
If you don't have the AVG app installed, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

    I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?

  • When I type an address in the location bar and hit Enter nothing happens. I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I fix it so that the Enter key works?

    When I type a web address in the location bar and hit enter nothing happens. In order to go to the website I've typed in, I must click the arrow button at the end of the location bar. How do I make it so that hitting the enter key takes me to the web page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Since Firefox 4 Beta installed an update

    The AVG addon seems to have caused the problem for me. I had it disabled and everything worked. Then I updated to AVG 2011 and the problem occurred. It seems to have reenabled itself after the update.
    Just disabling it solved the problem.

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

    Try carefully following the steps outlined in this Apple support document to put your iPad into recovery mode.

  • Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

    Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

  • I can only open pages using bookmarks. Nothing happens when I enter a address in the address line. What can I do?

    On the address line. I enter a url address such a google and nothing happens. The only way I can get to pages is though my bookmarks. I had to bookmark google, search from there and then bookmark what ever page I want to come back to. Tried reloading Firefox and still not working.

  • To solve another problem, I need to reset my user agent. But when I type about:config in the address bar, all I get is a Firefox window that has the text "config" on the page and nothing else. No text or fields or ANYTHING. What can i do short of unins

    Firefox 3.6.3
    Windows XP
    Otherwise browses OK.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    Make sure that you type '''about:config''' in one word and without any spaces in the location bar.

  • Nothing happening when I plug nano in for the first time- no "source" tab

    I have a 2nd generation 4GB nano, brand new. I used to have a 20GB ipod, hard drive crashed. So I have updated my itunes to 7.0, and charged my nano on a wall outlet.
    I plugged the nano in, with the itunes open, and nothing has happened (it's been over an hour). I've read discussions, everyone keeps referencing "choose nano in the source panel"--I do not have any "source" panel or button on my itunes. The nano screen just says "do not disconnect."
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Sue

    Are you saying that the nano does not show in iTunes? The source panel is always there....it's the panel on the left hand side of iTunes that allows you to look at created playlists (Recently played, music, videos, podcasts, etc). In that area you should see the nano (whatever you named it or it may just say "iPod"). If you don't then go to the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility (it may be open in the area at the far bottom right of your computer screen where the time is. It is an icon with a green arrow pointing left and slightly down in case you are not familiar with it). You can "eject" your iPod using that (click on stop and then another box should open. Click on the iPod labeled drive listed and then click the ok button). Then restart iTunes and reconnect your ipod.

  • I have installed Version 4 and it won't search andnothing happens when I put a subject into the search box & click on search

    Can't really add anything to the above, as not sure what has happened & pretty hopeless at internet related matters. I have read that the tool & search bars have gone so there seems nowhere to go !

    Which search engine is selected if you click the search engine icon on the (Google) search bar?
    You can try to open the Manage Search Engines window and click the Restore Defaults button if that button is enabled.

  • Can I delete email addresses that pop up when I type a letter in the address bar.

    my mail that I have linked to the mail app is yahoo and everytime I enter a letter into the to section it brings up other emails so I dont need to write it all out. For example: Ill type "M'" so I can email my brother and it will bring his up but then it will show other peoples email that I can click on, either to people Ive contacted once or people that I hardly ever talk to. How can I get rid of this without restting my touch?
    Thanks

    Hi A17,
    There is a way. Go to Contacts on your iPod and delete the ones that start with "M" and see if that works. Delete them from your Yahoo account, then sync with iTunes. Hope this works.
