Revealing an address bar

Hi everyone! Just learning bridge and it seems good, especially for viewing vector images which my explorer replacement (directory opus) doesn't do currently. Often times I'm in the folder I already need to be with my explorer and I just want to copy and paste the folder into bridge to go directly there and view an image. Is there a way to reveal an address bar in bridge so you can manually type or paste an address in?
TIA!

Just to clarify, what I'm looking for is a bridge equivalent of windows explorer address bar - a field you can type or paste addresses into.
Thanks!

Address bar too long, some addon icons are not revealed.

When addons are many, they aggregate to a small menu. This is very inconvenient. See pictures between firefox 30 and firefox 37
I tried to upload a image. In case I failed, see http://img.vim-cn.com/0b/310455fba225df5c97986cf270e6884a1fcde2.jpg

Does it has effect you you position the search bar right next to the location/address bar or temporarily move it to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list (right-click the search engine: Move to Menu)?
Note that this can be caused by extensions that show variable data on the Navigation Toolbar, so if you notice any that behave like this then try to place them after the search bar.
Note that you can easily remove items from the Navigation Toolbar to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list and back again via the right-click context menu.
If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can remove this item from the toolbar.
* "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
* "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
* "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar

Why is it that now, when I click on a link for a website I've saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I can't drag it to an email to share the link.

Why is it that in these newer versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I open a link that I've saved, it does NOT display the URL in the address bar any more?
I can't drag and drop the link into an email, and I can't see the actual web address I'm connected to for reference OR for security purposes. Why was this changed?
It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link I've saved, using the Windows "Properties", then copying and pasting the URL into the Firefox address bar, before I can do anything with it.

No changes have been made and no problem with extensions has interfered with the URL appearing in Firefox before. Only with the last few new versions of Firefox has this cropped up. Also, the link opens correctly - it just doesn't display the URL in the address bar, instead it just reads (in gray) "Search or enter address." How could another extension interfere if Firefox is the sole program associated with .htm, .html files?

Address bar & recent websites

What keystroke causes a dropdown of the address bar revealing the website addresses recently entered? I have done this before by accident but can't reproduce... it's driving me crazy. Internet Explorer has a pulldown button. Thanks.

Hello videoguy:
As far as I know, when you begin typing a URL, the dropdown appears. You can also go to the menu bar and look at the history file.
Hopefully I have understood your question.

Can no longer enter data in the address bar {url Bar}, it correctly follows data from google search bar. It was a 1 month old installation so not a lot of complications

I was not adding anything to Firefox. I Refused tool bars embedded in several application installs on this new computer. Was working fine. Then had a problem with Google search, restored default values and re-tooled Firefox. At this point all worked fine. Then my url, address bar changed color to the same color as the program shell, a grey brown as opposed to the white it was before. With the change in color it no longer allows me to change the data showing in the bar. I can not delete or add data. I used to add a url and navigate to the domain. Now I can not

Greetings,
TY for the reply, the information was enlightening to be sure. I never knew safe mode was an option with Firefox. I have so many tasks running that I didn't want to shut things down. What I did is turn off some of the last plug-ins I installed. That did not fix the problem at least in the first look. What happened next was very interesting none the less. I had a moment of mouse spastic wrist syndrome and accidentally moved a tab in such a way that it opened in a new window. The URL bar was white and editable. So I moved all my tabs to the new window and everything works as it should. I have restarted Firefox this morning and it came back with the bar editable and I am speechless to understand what I may have done to correct the problem if anything ??

All the lettlers on my desktop and in the address bar appear as symbols. Also, I can't run firefox because it keeps giving me a crash report. I'm running Vista, if that helps.

This is my parent's computer. Here are the facts: After using facebook the previous evening, the next time the computer was used all of the desktop displayed symbols instead of letters/words. Upon trying to open Firefox a window labeled Firefox crash report opened. No matter what options you choose (send report, don't send, etc) when you click on an option, another Firefox crash report window opens. So I can't open Firefox. Simple solution would be to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it; however, it is very hard to navigate the computer with no words and all symbols. I am able to open up Internet Explorer, but anything in the address bar or search bar also appears as symbols. If I were to type in a specific site in the address bar, the site will load properly in words but the address bar still shows symbols. After much playing around, I was able to update Avast antivirus and run a full scan and nothing was found. I updated Malware Bytes and ran in for an hour but it never fully finished running before I had to leave. Please help.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.
Filter: gfx
Some to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
* set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

I can no longer access websites through the location bar (address bar).

A few days ago, my location bar (address bar) suddenly stopped working. When I typed in an address and clicked on Enter, nothing happened - and I mean nothing. The cursor at the end of what I had just typed into the location bar just sat there, blinking at me. Clicking on the arrow at the right end of the location bar didn’t work either. On the other hand, if I clicked on a link in a website or e-mail, I would be taken right to the website at the other end of the link. And when I clicked on a bookmark, I was taken to the bookmarked site. It is only when I type or paste something into the location bar that I am unable to reach the sought after website. Exiting and then re-entering Firefox did not help, nor did rebooting my computer. I was using version 6.0.2 at the time. I upgraded to version 7.0.1; that didn’t help either. Help!!!

That is a signature symptom of the "AVG Safe" extension in the Link Scanner component of AVG Free, but you don't have that extension on the computer you posted from, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
There is also these which you don't have either

Try disabling the Foxit PDF creator as it has an ask.com authorship signature.
If that doesn't work see if Firefox works in Safe Mode. If it does it is probably an extension problem.

I can no longer get my address bar, back or foward buttons, tool bar, menu bar or anything else. How can I restore?

When I open Firefox I do not get an address bar only Google comes up. I don't get a back or forward button nor do I get the tool bar or menu bar. There is no default button. I read the forum but I can not make any corrections because I don't have a tool bar displayed. I am using 3.6. When I turn off my computer and then turn it back on, the default settings still do not return.

It is a long while since I tried Google Toolbar, I am not sure what it changes. But I would not expect it to totally remove your options to use the ordinary toolbars.
■ Try
* press the''' alt '''key on the keyboard, that may return the menu bar
* once you have the menubar '''View -> Toolbars ->''' and select which you need
* you may also use View-> Toolbars -> Customise and drag items back or use the restore default set option.
* right clicking on the toolbars also gets you to the customise and show toolbars options
■ have a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
PS
I hope you do not need to resort to editing registry settings, the firefox 'dragons' in prefs are user friendly compared with Windows registry. Messing up firefox prefs only really affects firefox normally; whereas errors in a registry edit may prevent you from even booting the computer.

The Url History in the address bar is not working anymore. Reinstalling/Updating does not fix this. How to I get this working again?

I'm talking about the Address Bar.
For example: You type in Google and it shows www.google.com etc. Because this is in your history.
But this has stopped working since I emptied my cookies. But not my history. I also checked if my history is still there. Which it is.
And I cant find out why at all.
I'm sorry if I really can't give much info. But this is what I concluded. Seeing English ain't my native language. My google searches for this question seem to be either in the wrong direction or this is something that never happened before.

Tools>Options>Privacy - Click the drop down menu under Location Bar and set when using the location bar, suggest to - History and Bookmarks.

If you view Firefox in full screen can you get favourite toolbar to appear with the address bar?

When you put Firefox in full screen all the toolbars disappear. When you hover over the top of the screen the address bar and 'open tabs' bar appear. Is it possible to get the favourites toolbar to appear as well?
If not is there any other way to access favourites without having to close Firefox?

You can also toggle that setting if you hover the mouse to the top and right click a toolbar to open the toolbar context menu: Hide Toolbars.
That won't show the bookmarks toolbar AFAIK even if it is selected. You can access the bookmarks via the Bookmarks menu button if you place that button on a visible Navigation Toolbar or Tab bar.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line to make the Bookmarks toolbar visible in full screen mode.

ATTENTION MOZILLA DEVELOPERS!!!! I have had numerous issues all occuring within 24-48 hours,The latest is location/address bar not working completely! Who has solutions and fixes that actually work???

Windows 7 32bit Firefox 3.6.1.1 .... I really liked Firefox until recently!!!!
I'm not even going to explain all the problems I have had in the last 2 days, but i will tell you i have read so many forums and have done A LOT of fixing, 8 hours worth!! So before someone suggests for me to try a common fix I have done almost all things like. 
Disable extensions 
Disabled/Remove add ons 
Tried all in safe mode 
Deleted files in Firefox Profile 
Renamed files in Firefox Profile 
I have done almost everything except remove Firefox and use a different browser. 
What gets me most is this site (Mozilla support) is the least helpful!! i have found solutions that worked off of Non Mozilla forums!! 
Ok here goes...... 1. Auto complete works in location/address bar, when I click ENTER on keyboard or click the blue arrow in address bar NOTHING HAPPENS!!! I can go to bookmarks click on one and it will go right to the page! It's like the address bar is dead! 2. I have NO search engines in the search bar located right next to address bar, the only solution I found for that called for typing commands in the address bar, which i can do but it wont do anything!!! 
Please keep in mind I did a full Google search on these problems and have found that a lot of people have the same issues regardless of Firefox versions or Operating systems!! 
This is my last attempt to get accurate and proven solutions/fixes to these problems before I wash my hands of Mozilla, I'm sure someone will tell me to just do it!!! 
I am hoping to get knowledgeable responses to this post!!
THANKS,
Robert
I just found out this: Posted November 3, 2010 8:12:18 PM PDT:
When I go to Firefox profiles folder i have 3 different profiles all with default at the end!!! Which one do i rename and wgich do I delete? See issues just keep getting stickier a more complicated!!!
Thanks,
Robert

You can locate the current [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] this way:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
If the 11.01 & 11.02 are empty backups then make sure that create a backup of the other .json backups elsewhere as soon as possible to avoid losing backups that may still work.
The other profiles appear to have older bookmarks. You can check the file compatibility.ini in a profile to see which version of Firefox last used that profile.
A possibility is to create a fourth profile to test each of the JSON backups and check which bookmarks they store. If you open that profile with the -no-remote switch then you can copy and paste bookmarks from one profile (instance) to another profile. Both profiles need to be open at the same time to do that.

I want name on address bar goes to home page, not search engine

Just today I hooked up a new modem/router that I purchased at a WIndstream store. I have been browsing the internet for years with Firefox. I have changed the keyword.url setting in my Firefox configuration (see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/833252#answer-197476) so that the new version would act like the old version and go directly to the webpage when the name was typed in the address bar. For example: when I type in "windstream" (no ".net" or".com") I would go directly to windstream' home page.
However, when I hooked up my new modem/router I my browser is hijacked and goes to a Windstream search page. I have tried everything from re-installing Firefox, re-changing the "keyword.url" setting, I even tried the Firefox ad-on here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/browse-by-name/).
All to no avail......there is something that has changed by adding Windstream's hardware and connecting to their network that will not allow me to use this function of Firefox.
Nothing else changed, but a new piece of hardware.....
Changed keyword.url to : http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Re-installed Firefox after cleaning all history and cookies.
Tried the add-on "Browse by name"
Wasted my time calling Windstream tech support.
Changed to openDNS
Tried to disable the feature through Windstream's web page, but then it just happens with the new search engine.

Opt-out of Windstream's search service: Type in something to get their sneaky web search page to come up, then click the tiny link at the bottom right "about this page". That sends you to a page where you can opt-out of their service.
To opt-out from their "valuable" sneaky service, you have to choose to opt-in to another search service.
You have to do this with each browser. And it still sends you to your search engine's results page, not to your URL the way you might want it to.
I would rather the default be to allow me to opt-in if I choose to, not have to jump through hoops to find out how to opt-out. It's taken me weeks to discover this. Annoying!

Reset the "awesome bar" (address bar) search engine

I had to install some crapware, and it made me install snap.do. This was a mistake. I have completely removed snap.do, so I think, but it has injected itself somehow within firefox. I have removed it entirely, cept for when i type anything in the address bar for a search, it currently only searches http://search.snapdo.com/?st=ds&q= its driving me quite batty. Please read my things I have done before you post.
Things I have done..
- Switched the "search box" search engine.
I've tried to switch it to something else like yahoo, and then switch back to google, then type in the ADDRESS BAR, still defaults to snap.do. I've also tried all sorts of things, as I believe since firefox 23 whatever you have selected in the search box, will default for the address bar, in my case.. no.
- keyworld.url or any about:config search for snap or snapdo or snap.do or *
Listen, this has been gone since firefox 23. I'm running version 27.0.1, ITS NOT THERE DONT SUGGEST THISSS FKJALSDFLKAJSD. I've also tried the keyworld.url hack. First time I tried there was a snap.do keyword and i was like "EFFFIN AAAA!". But after a restart, snapdo still took over.
- Firefox>help>troubleshoot>reset
I'll punch you in the face if you even remotely suggest this, i've done it 329049320 times ;)
- Malware/antivirus/dafjkdsj tool.
Unless it directly removes snap.do dont even tempt me.
- uninstall/reinstall
Ok.. c'mon, you think I havent tried this?
-add/remove programs
rly?
Ok so you see my frustration here? One more list..
Things I will not do..
- Delete my firefox profile.
I'd just really rather not, as history is how I browse some stuff. and well other things as well, I mean in the end, if i must i must.
But if anyone has any other ideas on how i can force firefox to a search engine please let me know, and i will be your friend ;D

Cor-el has suggested to create a new profile, and as I can see in your initial question posting, it was stated that if you had to, you would do it. So, if you could please do - it would be appreciated.
Something I suggest is a clean reinstall, however that is something you would not like obviously but I will enter those instructions here anyways so you can look over it.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Address Bar Not Working

The address bar in my version of Firefox 28 does not seem to be working at all. The address bar seems to work perfectly, however when you press enter nothing happens. It can detect your bookmarks and history but when you click on those nothing happens as well. So the address bar is completely useless.
I tried reinstalling but that didn't work, I then tried a factory reset and that worked for a while, however just a day later the problem has resurfaced. I started firefox with all addons disabled but that didn't make a difference either, I then disabled every addon one by one while reopening firefox multiple times to try and see of there was a troublesome addon but that didn't make a difference either.
I am running the Linux version of firefox under OpenSUSE 13.1, the exact version from the about screen is 28.0, "Firefox for OpenSUSE OpenSUSE - 13.1" is also displayed on the about screen.
I am sorry if I have not included enough information, If you need more I will be happy to add it.
