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.

Why can't I see the URL in the address bar when I click on a hyperling, as opposed to typing in a URL? I send a lot of links, but if I can't copy and paste them from your address bar I'll have to abandon Firefox and use another browser.

I just gave you the details. When I click on a hyperlink, the URL of the site/page is not in the address box at the top of the page.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled''' and click '''Toggle'''
* The value is now set to '''False'''
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' and click '''Toggle'''
* The value is now set to '''False'''
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
Can anybody help at all?

Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on a server.
*[[/questions/955140]] why is the 20.0 address bar unresponsive?
This is currently investigated and tracked via this bug report.

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?

Can not copy a URL from the address bar/line

Why is it proving so difficult for me to copy a URL from the address bar using Safari? When I click on the link I want to copy, it does not highlight. I have used Command L and Command C, and that works but there has to be a simpler way. I also read that if I click the address bar once, then press the control key and click on it again that a menu would appear with cut, paste, copy. That does happen, but all options are greyed out, and not selectable. Another google search resulted in someone saying there was a button or arrow to click on and that this tool would copy the URL.
The URL I am copying is very long, longer that the address bar window
What Gives Here?

Click the icon (favicon) to the left of the URL.
That will select the entire URL.
Command C will copy the URL.

Since switching to Firefox 4 I'm unable to access a web page by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar; I now have to click on the bar; how do I change things so that I can go back to a keyboard shortcut?

I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible but since updating to Firefox 4 I can no longer access a web page simply by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar. Can I get back to this useful shortcut somehow and avoid having to fiddle with a mouse?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How can I add more than five URLs to the address bar drop down list?

How many URLs can the Awesome Bar hold in the drop down list? I was showing five, but when I tried to add a sixth by cutting and pasting the URL in the address bar and clicking "Enter", it did not show up. Can the Awesome Bar hold more than five?

It is possible that you have an extension that sets this value to a lower setting than the current default of 12.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Why in address bar in not the url but "go to the web site"? How can I see url in the address bar?

Why in the address bar is not URL but "go to the web site"? How can I see the URL in the address bar?

those are some addons that other users have reported to cause the same problem in the past: Gom player, Ask Toolbar, DivX (Plus) Web Player, RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin...
in case you have one of them present, try to disable/remove it - otherwise you could disable all your extensions & reenable them one by one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step) until you find the culprit.

My Mozilla 3.6.10 won't open no matter how many times I click it

My Mozilla 3.6.10 won't open no matter how many times I click it.. Its soo frustrating!!!It always states this ;
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

What's wrong with my Mozillla? Help!!!!
I've tried re-installing and installing it back, but failed =(

You should still have the older version of Firefox (the beta installs alongside the older version). Check under add/remove programs. If you do, just locate the .exe in program files under Mozilla, and create a shortcut.

I want the cursor to be in the address bar when creating a new window; it works for new tabs and in a new private window, but not in safe mode.

I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.

The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

Everytime I try to open firefox, it just doesnt open up. no matter how many times I click it. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but it continues with the same problem. what should I do?

You can disable autoupdate by following these steps:
Go to main menu > Tools > Options > click on Advanced tab > click on Update tab and then click on the round radio button that says ''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''

Safari, won't display any windows??

Hi all,
Just went to use Safari only to discover it won't display any windows, of any kind. I've tried 'new window', 'new tab', 'open location/file' and it even won't open the 'Preferences' window!? It seems to be creating them as I can see them in the window drop down but displaying them nowhere...
It's the latest version, it's not assigned to a specific desktop and I've reduced the desktops down to one to make sure they're not getting 'lost' in another desktop...
Any ideas?
I'm using OSX 10.10 on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro.
P.S. while creating this post I've noticed I can't bring up the 'About This Mac' window either. The system Information app also isn't working!?????

Permission repair spat this out:
===== Repair Disk Permissions =====
User differs on "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"; should be 0; user is 244
Group differs on "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"; should be 0; group is 244
Repaired "private/var/db/displaypolicyd"
Finished verify/repair permissions on disk0s2
Tue Oct 28 21:10:10 CET 2014
But had no effect on Safari...
Just to reiterate, the windows are being created but, for whatever reason, will not display (see below).
Any other ideas anyone??
