On my laptop, there is no location bar when I use firefox.

There is no location bar to type in web addresses on any firefox screen. I cannot use the web unless the address is in my bookmarks or I go to google with the website and then choose the website from there.

Hi pkeoughan,
It sounds like the navigation bar was just accidentally turned off. Don't worry, it's an easy fix. Take a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] for details. You can also go to ''View > Toolbars'' and enable the ''Navigation tollbar'' and the ''Bookmarks toolbar''.
Hopefully this helps!

There is no search bar when I open Firefox.

there is no search bar when I open Firefox. I've been having to use Safari to type in a web address. This started just today

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*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

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Hello. I have an Ipad 3 and I have installed the facebook app for ipad. Though I'm online, I appear offline to my friends. And, there is no chat bar when I log in via safari! Please Help!

Hello. I have an Ipad 3 and I have installed the facebook app for ipad. Though I'm online, I appear offline to my friends. And, there is no chat bar when I log in via safari! Please Help!

I believe the Facebook App requires (or at least it did in the past) the screen to be rotated to Landscape to access/enable chat functions/enable online status (I believe at the bottom-right of the screen). You need to set your online status to available (or whatever their terminology is) to have other people see your online status and availability to chat.

Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
Keyboard shortcuts:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

Is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos 6?

Hello everyone
i rent a dedicated server that using centos 6...I'm going to browse through the internet with that.can anyone tell me, is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos?
(just like utorrent server)
tnx

Install a proxy server on the centos machine and configure your local Firefox to connect through that proxy.
If you really want to run Firefox on the centos machine, install a VNC server instead.
(Obviously, use Google if you don't know what that means ;)

When I use Firefox without menu bar I can see bookmarks. How ever when I activate menu bar the bookmark is missing from toolbar. I tried opening in safe mode and resetting toolbar but it didn't fix the issue. I am using version 7.0

Do you mean the Bookmarks Menu button on the Navigation Toolbar?
You only see that button if the menu bar is hidden.

There are ads that come up on the right side and bottom of websites when I use Firefox on my computer- right now it seems to be one Windows computer

When I use Firefox on a Windows based computer a side "ad" bar comes up on the right side(if looking at the computer) and one comes up on the bottom that offers other searches similar to the website I am on.

hi vijaysampath, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page in order to inspect the certificate like it is shown on the screenshot attached:
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.

In 5.0 URL does not show in location bar when I am using a second Firefox window

I have a lot of problems when using a second window for Firefox 5.0. (I have two monitors and like an open browser on each.) One problem is that when I open a new tab, the URL of a site that I go to does not show in the location bar. It just says "Go to a Web site."
I don't understand why a second copy of the browser acts so differently than the first. Can someone explain this to me? Is there any way to avoid this?
FYI: I had the same problem with 4.0 and reinstalled an older version. But the newest version of WordPress suggested upgrading Firefox, which I did.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am familiar with your solution and tried it. It did not solve this problem.

How to stop location bar autocomplete from using top-level domains?

I love the location bar autocomplete - or at least, I used to. I had it trained to the point where typing one letter was enough to bring up the pages I used most often. But now with Firefox 12, it ignores all that and favors top-level domains.
For instance: I haven't been to the front page of YouTube in years; there's no reason to go there. When I would type "www.y" into the location bar, it would pop up to the one video I visited most often - and that's exactly what I WANTED it to do. Now it defaults to "YouTube.com" and I have to scroll down to find the actual page I want. Same deal with Wikipedia: I don't want to go to the front page, I want to go to the page I use most often for research.
So basically, what do I need to change to get the location bar autocomplete to stop giving me top-level domains I don't want, and go back to giving me the subpages I spent years training it to favor? Scrolling down to the right entry is a waste of time when typing one letter and hitting enter should be enough to do it...

And I meant the actual location bar, not the dropdown menu below it. The dropdown is fine: it's the autocomplete '''in''' the location bar that needs to be fixed...

All of my bookmarks appear in the location bar when all i want is the history

So lets just jump through everything I have done already. I basically figured out that all of the sites listed in my location bar are my bookmarks. All want is history. Before my Location bar settings were set to history and bookmarks, but then I decided to delete all my history and that just left the bookmarks. So figured out the location bar settings thing and I switched it to History but its still showing my bookmarks in the location bar. Some sites I have bookmarked but haven't visited in awhile. I would also like to note that there is no star next these links in the location bar but when I click on any of the links in it they are bookmarked sites. I am guessing the missing star may have something to do with why its being tagged history. I have no clue but I only want history in my location bar not bookmarks. I tried customizing it and still all my bookmarks are in it.

Are those sites redirected to another location?
If the URL stays the same then an URL that is bookmarked should have a star next to it.
You can also restrict the drop down list to websites that you've typed in the location bar.

I clear the browsing and download history already, but the history still auto-appear in the location bar when I type the site url. Why?

I use
tools -> clear recent history -> browsing & download history (everything)
However, all the news or urls I visit couple months ago always auto-appeared when I type the url in the location bar.
I've observed this situation since Firefox 4 or 5, so I am googling how to really delete all my browsing history.
Also, it is weired and angry, firefox keep to remember the wrong id/password of web server authentication data, since I edit my id/password. Firefox always show me the wrong id/password, even I delete everything and every categories in the "Clear All History". It looks the clear history feature doesn't function as it indicated.

Here is how you do it:
Firefox > History > Clear Recent History
(Or Tools > Clear Recent History)
Then in the opened window hit the button beside details and then check all of the available things in there.
Also pay attention that everything is selected in the list of the upper side.
If this helped you, please hit 'Solved it' Button so the topic would be closed.

On my laptop, there is no location bar when I use firefox.
