Safari crashes anytime i input something in the address bar

Help.
Safari works fine, except it immediatly quits when I input something into the address bar.  I've updated my software and OS X and don't know what else to do. 

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Firefox is crashing or comes up with Chrome something in the address bar and clears my page, why?

    For some reason Firefox keeps clearing my page and something with 'Chrome' in the address bar pops up along with a second set of menu, bookmarks, and address bar below my existing ones. If I click on anything besides the address bar it disappears. I've uninstalled Google Chrome and Firefox. (thinking that Google Chrome might be somehow interfering with FF) I then re-installed my previous version of FF with no results. I took it off again and then installed the newest version of FF. I've ran several scans on my computer with SuperAntiSpyware, cleared my history/cache . Nothing has changed and I'm very irritated now. Either someone tell me how to fix this or I'm switching to another browser.

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use a Google Lucky search.

  • Safari won't display any URLs in the address bar. When I type it in, it'll keep what I typed in, but never change no matter how many links I click.

    This makes it really hard to refresh pages. I might be on google, looking something up, hit refresh, and my URL is still showing "facebook.com" or whatever site I was on previously, then I get taken back to the site I had in my URL. When I click around on links on the page I'm on, it'll still just show the url to the first page I viewed. Also, the URL isn't auto-completing as I type in URLs.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
    In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
    After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

  • Safari crashes when editing the address bar

    I'm running Safari 3.2. Whenever I try to input text in the address bar, Safari stops responding and I have to Force Quit. Everything else seems to be working normally. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,
    With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache
    A disk utility can help you do maintenance to keep Safari functioning as it should, here are several to look at:
    Onyx, is free and available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070&vid=476445&mode=info
    MacJanitor is good also: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491
    I suggest downloading from Version Tracker so you can view the Reviews/Customer Feedback and make a decision based on the information provided by users.
    If you install Onyx, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and reboot.
    Also, make sure you have enough available disk space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, press Command + I which will prompt the Get Info window. Where it says: General click the black arrow so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available Never allow the available disk space to fall below 15% of the total drive, 20% is better. Not enough free drive space will slow your Mac down, cause apps to crash and freeze... hence the spinning beach ball.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

  • Firefox will only open websites via url link, does not even attempt to connect through the address bar.

    I can only open Firefox websites by using a url link. If I try to type something in the address bar it will not even attempt to load the page, no loading circle, no error or no connection message. I'm at youtube.com and I type in google.com and slap ENTER. Nothing happens. Nothing. I slap the ENTER key a couple more times to similar effect. I can open blank new tabs, but can't get the address bar to work. I can right click videos and have them open correctly in new tabs or windows, but the address bar refuses to do anything.
    Internet Explorer works perfectly fine though. Despite the ads.
    I've updated reinstalled, disabled my firewall, restarted firefox, restarted my computer, hasn't accomplished diddly jack squat. If anyone has any idea what's going on here I would highly appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    Try clicking on Tool --> Options --> Advanced --> General tab. Uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration... ". Do you have any add-on like avg safe search installed?
    Hope that helps.

  • The google feeling lucky app from the address bar is not working, a program called vshare performs a search instead and I am unable to restore the original function. please help

    I do not know how but vshare, has been performing a search everytime I type something in the address bar that is not a complete website i.e. facebook instead of facebook.com
    this is very annoying and I am unable to uninstall vshare, I have even tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it

    I had this problem too, and just fixed it, and found a great website that helped.
    1. In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
    2. Locate and double-click the entry for keyword.URL
    3. Set the value based on which search provider you would like to use for your address bar searches. Here are a few search strings you can use.
    Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=
    Ask: http://www.ask.com/web?q=
    Google: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
    ChaCha: http://search.chacha.com/search/query?searchwithguide=0&query=
    source: http://www.technipages.com/firefox-change-address-bar-search-provider.html
    And if you want the I'm Feeling Lucky search, instead of just the Google page search, then put:
    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    instead of: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
    I just did that, and it worked for me. I had to go through a bunch of the different options, but I found one that worked.

  • How can I get the address bar to just display URLs?

    With the newest update to Firefox when I type something in the address bar I get more search suggestions than URL suggestions. I only want URL suggestions and want to turn the search off completely. I've tried turning off the "keyword:enable" on the back end of Firefox and it still does not work. Is there a way to go back to just seeing URL's in the address bar?

    I've seen a similar thing in another user's screen shot, but I can't seem to trigger it on my own Firefox.
    Are you seeing search suggestions for possibly matching words/phrases pulled in real time from your preferred search engine (like the drop-down on the search bar), or history entries reflecting terms you previously searched for?
    Do you use any extensions that modify how the address bar works?

  • What happend to the address bar prediction service?

    Hello,
    In Firefox 3.6 if i typed something something in the address bar, like Firefox addons, it would take me straight to addons.mozilla.com, instead of just a Google search of it, this is one the features that i really like about Firefox, but in Firefox beta 4 it doesn't work.

    If you don't want to mess around with about:config, There is a small, restartless addon aptly named Browse By Name that can do the job for you. Link here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browse-by-name/

  • How do I change the size of the address bar in Safari in Yosemite?

    I'm hating all this blank space.  Plus, I work with many open windows and am constantly copying and pasting links into the address bar in Safari, so it works better for me to have a longer address bar.  I've already poked around in Preferences and the Customize Toolbar, but maybe I overlooked something. Does anyone know if this can be changed?

    Yes. I tried deleting the spacers, moving the spacers, removing and re-adding the address bar, and nothing.  All it does is add blank space to the end (And actually that picture got cut off. There's space on the right side too).  I tried adjusting the space, but I don't think I can do that either?

  • 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 <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *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.

  • How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

    Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.
