Since Firefox updated yesterday, it won't respond to addresses in the url field or search terms in the search engine field. I can only go to addresses already in my bookmarks.

When I type an address into the url field the browser will not load the page...it just sits there as though waiting for me to press enter. Also it won't respond to the recently used addresses that show in the dropdown menu. It will also not respond when I try to use the search engine field (google). This started yesterday after Firefox automatically updated to version 3.5.9. I don't get an error message, just no response at all.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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")
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Since Firefox updated yesterday I cannot post on my blog - getting 'bad request error 400' message.

    When I opened my blog today (more than once) the page came up but after I signed in I got a page up which says 'Bad request error 400' and I am unable to create a message or anything else. When I go back to the blog page there are no options on the top right for new post etc. This was all after Firefox automatically updated.

    You're welcome

  • Why won't my "searchpreview" add-on work from my browser search box since Firefox updated to 3.6.16, but it works when I do it from the Google main page??

    Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

  • Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • Since firefox update, my webpages and desktop is in large font. How can I get it back to normal size?

    Since firefox updated my browser is really big, even my desktop, I can't get everything to fit on my monitor and I don't know how to get the font/size smaller. I tried going to the desktop and hitting smaller font but it says that it is at "normal?.

    Double tap your screen with three fingers, then zoom out. Go to Settings/General /Accessability and disable the zoom feature.

  • Downloadbutton from Realplayer is gone since Firefox update 3.6.4

    downloadbutton from Realplayer is gone since Firefox update 3.6.4.
    when i play a clip from the internet, realplayer use to be alow me to clic on a button "download and record these clip". That button don't show up since a have installed the update 3.6.4. from Firefox. Can you update firefox or give me a plug in so that this will work properly again?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox update 3.6.4. was installed

    I have the same problem. So how do you fix it? Do you go back to previous Firefox version? Any suggestions?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • After the update, pressing Enter no longer works to go to a URL, nor does it work in the Google Search bar thing.

    Pretty much what the question says. I updated to the latest Firefox, and now this really irritating thing happens.... It happens lots of places too. Some specific things:
    * Clicking on the address bar at all does not bring up the little flashing cursor thing, and generally gives me no indication that I've actually clicked on the URL. Same with that little google search thing in the upper right.
    * Most frustratingly, when I press enter after putting in a URL, it won't even go to the site.
    * After getting annoyed at both of those things, I try to type in something on a website, and though the URL stays the same, it starts dropping down a lot of suggestions from my history.
    * Lastly, when I'm doing my crosswords on Washington Post and I switch to a different tab to type something on there, it doesn't switch my typing thing over - it stays on the crossword, typing things into that rather than into the typing field I clicked on to start typing in.
    So, yeah, this is highly annoying, and I'd love for any help for these issues...
    I did look at the FAQs, and they said something about the AVG SafeSearch thing causing one of my problems, but I don't have that extension, so it's definitely not that!

    The AVG Safe Search extension can cause problems with the Enter key not working in the location bar.

  • I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

  • My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

  • My Firefox App deletes new search terms on second search.

    Firefox deletes new search terms on second search. If first search is for New York, I get results for New York. If I add Giants to New York or even if I change the search to Chicago Cubs, and search, the second search terms are erased and the first search terms return with the first search results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and checked all settings dozens of times. I saw someone else had the same problem but there were no responses.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Firefox won't let me open new tabs since windows updated yesterday

    Windows update ran and installed new updates yesterday (9th Feb) the PC restarted and since then Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab.

    # In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
    # In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
    # In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
    # Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.

  • Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

    Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
    Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Since Firefox update (34.0) the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9 has been curtailed. Help?

    Look I know I will most likely need to also contact InstantFox 2.8.9's support pages but to my mind it makes more sense to ask for help here! Also I know my browser is probably a bit too 'top heavy' with my choices of extensions for the smooth working of my current 'ancient' laptop... But they suit me as is and, for the moment, I can I live with the eccentricities most likely caused by this present configuration...!
    Since this update wherein the Search functions of Firefox have been tweaked InstantFox 2.8.9 has lost parts of its functions:-
    1) The toolbar button which opens the dropdown box containing my preferred list of search engines has disappeared from the toolbar and the about:customizing Firefox page. It is a real hassle to have to access it via the Add-ons Manager since I cannot always remember all of my shortcuts for quicksearches.
    2) Also the quick access to the above has been removed from the Tools menu.
    3) The list of search engines has disappeared from the context menu which was very useful for a quick specific search from any highlighted text.
    4) Firefox's own Search Manager does not contain this list but they do seem to be seeping in. But... for instance I do not need Amazon.com; I need Amazon.co.uk
    As far as I can ascertain my shortcuts for quicksearches are all still functioning. By the way the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9, when unencumbered by contradicting tweaks, is definitely much more to my liking!
    Maybe your developers could liaise with InstantFox 2.8.9's developers... to tweak search operations to perfection! Sorry guys but am not savvy enough to be a developer or whatever [I surf (et al) holding on for dear life by 'the seat of my pants'!] so am unsure if I am making sense! Therefore also unsure if my assumptions are correct. Please politely inform what is really happening here. Have been rather reticent to contact you since, once before, was very rudely reprimanded when I tried to ask a question on another Mozilla forum...
    So is it possible to get InstantFox 2.8.9 working at optimum again or can I suppress Firefox's new Search capabilities so that it will work unhindered...?
    Many thanks to you all,
    Regards from,
    Ian.
    P.S.: Apologies if this reads too sarcastic for you. Please forgive me have, on and off, spent most of today frustratedly trying to work this out whilst, amongst other things, the communal Central Heating here has failed. On a Sunday, no less, when I cannot get in contact with the Housing Association... and so on... Peace

    Hi Philip,
    Many thanks for the heads up re the lack of a grace period for add-on developers this time around. Recent Firefox updates have all seemed to eradicate more and more of the eccentricities that my browser configuration experiences... So this update was a surprise which caused me much...
    Forgive my tardiness in replying but even though your suggestion was most informative and useful it did not rectify the problem. So, as you suggested, have waited till today when InstantFox sent out their update. Thankfully now all is working as 'on the box'!
    Just one question:... I assume that I should leave Firefox's own search interface 'suppressed'? Don't want to go messing with about:config unless I have to!
    Again Many Thanks and Regards from,
    Ian.
    P.S.: Where can I learn about the meaning of about:config items and other 'languages' working in the background?
