Searching from the url address window has stopped working

If I type a string in the url address bar and touch enter, I now get an error message saying that it's not a valid web address: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." It no longer searches in google for results. I've checked my about:config settings and they seem fine; keyword.url status is "default" and type is "string" with a blank value; for keyword.enabled, the status is "default", type is "boolean", and value is "true".

Hi,
You can also check '''browser.search.defaultenginename''' which has to be '''Google''' in this case.
If problems persist you can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset].

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

    iTunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

  • HT1369 While syncing between my window laptop and my iPad, the following occurs "iTune has stopped working"

    While syncing between my window laptop and my iPad, the following occurs "iTune has stopped working" message came on just yesterday, 19 May 2012.
    Wonder what went wrong?
    can anyone offer a tip or two?
    Thanks

    Try this, it worked for me when nothing else did:
    Perform a SoundLink® speaker reset, following these steps:
    On the speaker, press and hold Mute for 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash briefly
    Press Power to turn the SoundLink® speaker back on
    Reconnect the device, if necessary.

    Hey there Warrior41,
    it sounds like you are unable to use iTunes because it either will not launch without this error, or you get the error when you are using it. Sorry to hear about that, that can be pretty aggravating. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with opening iTunes in Safe Mode and see if the issue persists. If not, the article will help you troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing it:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue there are additional steps in the article if needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My PC is communicating with my HP C309a wirelessly, but the Hp solution Center has stopped working.

    My PC (Dell XPS 9000) is communicating with my HP C309a wirelessly for printing, but the Hp solution Center has stopped working. Shouldn't I be able to use all functions wirelessly?
    I'm getting an error message "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete. Please plug in the usb cable or re-run the set-up program from the instattation CD for a network installation."  When I put the installation disk in to remedy the problem, it tells me that my present software is the latest so it won't update. When I go to the update center, it tells me I have the latest software.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
     Try  these:
     Click Start Menu icon>Programs>HP>HP Photosmart c309a>Add a Device
    With this, it will find the wireless printer and reconfigure the settings; simply follow the prompts. After completion, try to reopen HP Solution Center.

  • Keep getting the message that iTunes has stopped working

    Keep getting the message that iTunes has stopped working. Cannot contact the store to do anything

    Ahhh, a number of anti-virus programs have issues with programs that use libraries that may look like virus signatures.  Hardware damage can cause software problems in programs open when the hardware problem occurs by causing electrical impulses that destroy parts of the software.  The short answer is it would be a good idea to have a really good technician make sure the computer is correct and then transfer the content of the hard drive to a clean hard drive and reinstall programs that don't pass checksum tests.
    The total of what you say is a system that could use a careful going over...make sure you are working from a stable and solid base.

    Hi @bembolroco
    I don't believe this is an HP issue, but I did find something that might help; Thunking Spooler APIS from 32 to 64 process has stopped working.
    I feel this is an issue with the operating system as it seems to be effecting many printer brands.
    If the issue persists, I suggest reaching out to the Microsoft Community for further assistance. I hope what I found helps you to resolve the issue.

    The home/menu button has stopped working on my E52. Is there a way I can retreive the info on my phone and put it on the memory card or a pc?

    Hi EmmaBarham,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
    Please connect your phone to Nokia Suite, once connected you'll be able to sync your phone's data to your PC.
    When you're done syncing the data, I would also advice making a back up via Tools>Back up. This way you can get your phone repaired and simply restore it back onto the phone via Tools > Restore in Nokia Suite once the phone has been fixed.
    You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point here. Let me know how you get on!

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.
