Since I took your update my address bar and toolbar are missing on my aol homepage

when I sign onto my mac book pro os x, aol home page comes up but the address bar and my customized toolbar are missing

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

How do I recover my address bar and toolbar?

How do I recover my address bar and toolbar? I don't have a place to type in the URL or don't have the File, Edit, View, Options drop-down menus.

'''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Press ALT+ V T M on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
'''Other toolbars'''
View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
'''Other steps to try'''
If you missing specific icons (ex. The back arrow,) try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set
'''Safe Mode'''
You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
Hope this helps!

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...

The address bar and search bar do not function(no plugins/addons). How do i make them work?

I recently updated firefox and have a problem similar to what others have posted here. When typing a URL in the address bar and hitting enter there is no response. The major difference is I do not have any plugins or add ons or new themes. I ran combofix and found no virus. I uninstalled then reinstall FF. Didn't work. Then i went into registry and manually removed all FF files and reinstalled. Didn't work. I am currently using chrome and would be happy to come back to FF if it starts to work again. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

You can still try Safe mode to check for other causes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.

Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library. I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, but Show Cloud Purchases isn't there. So, I go to the store, then click on purchases, and I download anything from my iTunes account. Now, I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, and it is back. I check the box, and my cloud purchases are again back in iTunes.
OK, I wouldn't bother posting this, but a day or so later, it all happens again. Cloud purchases gone, no option to fix in the Settings>Store menu until I go to the store and download something again.
How do I get iTunes for Windows to keep showing my cloud purchases without having to do this silly work-around every day or two?

Audiobooks are not avaiable for redownload from iTunes, though I suspect you may find they are still on your computer even if not currently listed in your library. This may help...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

When I go to a webpage it isn't registering in the address bar and firefox won't let me go back.

Another odd thing that has happened, Bing took over my blank page and had a searchbar on it, but that has suddenly disappeared, I'm not sad at all, but am wondering if it is connected.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"

I poofed away my address bar and can't get it back

I was trying to get a URL for an image this morning, but for some reason couldn't drag the picture up to my address bar. Everything just kept highlighting instead. This was frustrating, so I tried "right" clicking and saving the image address, which I then tried to paste into my address bar. For some reason, it wouldn't let me paste anything. I tried doing it from the "Edit" tab, and I tried doing it through "apple+v"
None of it worked. I tried this at least three times. Somehow, the third or fouth time I clicked on the address bar and hit "apple+v" my address bar literally poofed away. Like I was taking something out of my dock. The back, forward, reload, and stop buttons are all still visible and functioning, it's just the specific "Address" and "Search" bars that I'm missing.
I didn't know this was possible! I tried to get it back through the "View" tab: I tried going through "Customize Address Bar" and "Hide/Show Address Bar" and I restarted everything at least five times. Apparently, my roommate tried the same thing and managed to poof his address bar away too (who knew!) but was able to get it back through the "Customize Address Bar" tab. For some reason, it's not letting me drag anything anywhere. (Or cut and paste anything! I tried copying something from Safari and pasting it into another application, and that didn't work either.)
Does anyone have any suggestions? I was going to google it, but I can't figure out how to get there :/

Question
When I add a https link to quicklinks, when I click on it, the (:) after https does not go to the address bar and thus the link is not connected. This is happening for all quicklink bookmarks with https: Is there a solution?

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Address bar and search bar freeze when a pdf is open in Firefox 4

The address bar and search bar freeze when I open a PDF document in Firefox 4. I have Adobe Reader X installed.
This means you cannot type anything in the address bar for that tab or any other tab until you close that PDF.
Any ideas? Thanks! :)

Oh it was a problem with Adobe's Plug-in. As per [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804580#answer-167069 MrKoffee's answer ], I noticed that I already had Adobe Reader X installed but nevertheless I went to adobe.com to download it again. When I installed it this time, it said "installing updated patch". Went back to Firefox to check and problem solved! :)
Ps. did not need to disable any previous plug-in or even close Firefox.

Where can I download firefox 3.6,firefox 4 is terrible ? I used to be able to put a key word in the address bar and go straight to the site now I get a stupid google search. I really hate firefox 4 if I cant go back i will use another browser .

Its all the little things I don't like about firefox 4 mainly the layout and the search.I thought my browser would get an upgrade, this is complete downgrade ,I never went with firefox for speed .I went with firefox because i hate toolbars and I loved the fact I could put tpb only in the address bar and go straight to the pirate bay or ww.bbc.co .uk by typing bbc

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
[http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

I used to write e.g. "onet" in the address bar and firefox opened page "onet.pl". After reinstalling Windows it only moves me to Google. How can I change it?

Thank you in advance!

Firefox's address bar ("location bar") has an "autofill" feature based on your history. Once you've visited onet.pl the next time you type onet Firefox should suggest that location by pre-filling it in on the address bar. Is that not working? Does it work for .com sites or not for any sites?
Or if you meant more generally that you want to type a word and have .pl added to the end, then you can change what Firefox does with address bar entries by disabling the search feature. Then Firefox will use a "fixup" procedure instead. This change needs to be made in about:config. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''keyw''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''keyword.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false
(4) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''fix''' and pause while the list is filtered
(5) If the '''browser.fixup.alternate.suffix''' preference isn't .pl you can double-click to edit it

I am trying to resize the the lengths of the address bar and the search bar. I could before using a "line" between them to drag to resize. But this is now not showing. Any ideas?

There is a simple way to try and fix the Issue.
Try '''Resetting '''Your Toolbar to Default and Resize.
'''You can always restore the default toolbar settings by clicking Restore Default Set in the Customize Toolbar window.'''
