Predictive typing/ history is not coming up in location bar

I used to type a few letters in the location bar and history and suggestions would appear. Now I have to type in every web address I want to go to -- I don't know why the predictive typing and suggestions suddenly stopped working -- I haven't changed any settings. I've checked on Preferences/Privacy and it is set to Remember History and to suggest History and Bookmarks. I saw a similar question on here that suggested looking at the AVG add-on, but I don't have that. The predictive typing was very helpful -- I wish it hadn't disappeared!!! Can you please help?

please tell me how to turn predictive text back on

  • Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

    When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
    Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
    Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

    That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

  • When I click on a link the address does not display in the location bar in the new tab. Which makes the back/forward button and refresh buttons unable to be used

    When opening a link any link from firefox address does not display in the location bar. Even when navigating forward from there the address does not show back/forward button and refresh all rendered unable to be used

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • 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.

  • URL does not come up in location bar

    When I open a new tab and click on a bookmark, the url loads in the location bar and then goes blank. The cursor stays in the location bar and I have to click on the new page before it moves. How do I get the website name to appear automatically in the location bar when I open a new tab. I have Status-4-evar installed and although it worked when I first used it, it no longer does.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: <b>layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled</b> = false
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • The Enter Key does not work in the location bar; I have to manually select the "Go To" icon since upgrading to Version 10.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 10. When I manually enter a URL into the location bar, the "Go To" arrow does not have focus, so the Enter Key will not work. I have to manually select the "Go To" arrow to navigate. Any suggestions?

    This could be the AVG safe search extension. If you have that installed, try disabling it. Instructions here: [[Using extensions with Firefox#w_how-to-disable-or-remove-extensions]]

  • History is not coming

    When ever I look for History.I found nothing at there,as if I have not open any site.My Firfox is not saving the sites that I have visited.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

This means that I cannot turn location services on for the app find my iPhone I cannot find my iPod on the app if I needed to.

  • Will not retain setting for location Bar setting to Nothing

    Using Firefox 4.0.1 When selecting Tools,Options,Location Bar, set to nothing, As long as I am in same session of Firefox it retains setting. When closing the application and then starting up again the setting reverts to default.

    Yahoo toolbar has perhaps taken over your browser. To change the default search engine for location bar,
    Type in location bar - about:config
    Search using filter - keyword.URL
    Replace the yahoo address with - http://www.google.com/search?q=

  • History does not clear in address drop down menu

    After going to tools--clear history, and tools--options on multiple occasions, my drop down history does not clear from my address bar, nor does it create new history. I still want control of my address bar, so "nothing" under location bar does not solve the problem either. Speaking to someone about this would be greatly appreciated.

    The location bar drop down consists of your history and bookmarks, so it's possible that you're seeing bookmarks. Try setting it to only display history.

  • Awesome Bar will not show browsing history after update - I have location bar set to show from history and bookmarks with history being saved for 10 days. How do I fix this?

    I updated firefox last night and now none of my history will show up in my location bar. Everytime I either close the browser window or start a new tab I have to completely type out new addresses.

    I'm the original asker. I uninstalled Firefox, including associated personal data and reinstalled. It now seems to work. I used FEBE to reinstall bookmarks and extensions.

  • 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.

  • New url not displaying in location bar when clicking on a link

    This is a peculiar issue I have just noticed. Since upgrading to FF v4.0 RC1, It seems whenever I click on a link either in a webpage or in a google search (even opening a bookmarked link), when the new page opens, the url of the new page does not appear in the location bar. Instead, the previous page's url still shows in the location bar.
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Probably an extension incompatibility. <br />

  • Already signed in on ebay; then I go to either revise my item or sell and item, ebay will ask you to sign in again; using Firefox, the same screen keeps coming up, asking me to sign in. I then have to use IE . Deleting history does not help.

    # Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
    # Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
    # This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
    I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

  • Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control

    hi experts,
    Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control.
    i have assigned the srch help (prem) to my 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC' table for the emp_id.
    but in output it is now showing the help.
    ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-ref_table = 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC'.
      ls_fcat-ref_field = 'EMP_ID'.
      ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
      ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
      clear ls_fcat.
    Then i tried to solve it using the PA0002 . ie.,
    ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-ref_table = 'PA0002'.
      ls_fcat-ref_field = 'PERNR'.
      ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
      ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
      ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
      append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
      clear ls_fcat.
    with this it is showing the help in employee code, but, when i click on an empl number, it is not added to my table control and allowing me to add the number by typing them.
    plz help me.
    thanks.

    Hi 
    In the layout give layout-sel_mode  = 'A'.  and
    pass  'A'    to  i_save  exporting parameter to method  set_table_for_first_display.
    The same thing if you are working with function module
