Tab, Back button, address bar.....

Sorry for the double post. Original was posted in the wrong forum.
Lately, when I click on the tab button or command tab nothing happens (it does not open a tab).
2. When I attempt to click the back button same result, nothing happens. Now, I can use the delete button to go back to the previous page.
3. Clicking on the home button does nothing as well. For example it will display the home page, www.apple.com in address window, but it actually does not open the page. The same applies to the google search bar. When I type a search word, the address appears in the address bar of safari but without any results. It is also happens when type directly into the address bar.
It seems that the toolbar just locks up (can't add, refresh or exit any page). This quite annoying.
I have emptied the cache, reset safari, deleted the plist and still nothing. Any suggestions?
PS
Sorry for the long essay.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... *make sure that is NOT selected*.
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to; Other forms. Delete both .google.com and .apple.com and click Done. Relaunch Safari and see if you can access both sites now.

No back button, address bar

When accessing my ISP homepage (RoadRunner) I no longer have a web address bar nor a back button. I asked RoadRunner about it and they said it is an Apple issue. I downloaded Safari 4 beta, but still no address window or back button. I had one up until about a week ago when Road Runner updated their homepage. Any ideas?

Have you tried Safari>View>Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar?

I want the tabs below the address bar

Having tabs above the address bar is supposed to be more convenient, but all it means is I have to look up past the address bar to read the name of the tab. Is there a setting to move address back on top?

Right-click on a toolbar, click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

New windows open like Tabs but no address bar

Hello,
After upgrading to Firefox 4, when I open a new browser window, it displays as a new tab. But with the tab under all the toolbars, the address bar missing, and my bookmarks gone. Back, forward, and reload buttons are not functional.
I have to open 3-4 new windows before getting one that's "normal". Has anyone else seen this?
A fix, please?
Thank you.

You can try:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
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.

Placing tabs below the address bar

Hi everyone,
I recently had to "refresh" Firefox because Adblock Plus kept getting disabled somehow. Now I'm having a hard time getting my layout back to what I'm accustomed to. What I would like is to have the following layout:
[Menu bar] 
[Address bar] 
[Tabs] 
[Bookmarks toolbar]
The default is to have tabs on the very top, and with the 'Classic Theme Restorer' I can put the tabs on the very bottom, but I'm trying to get back to having them below the address bar but above the bookmarks toolbar. If you can help me get there, I'd be most grateful!

See:
*[[/questions/1049464]] Bookmarks toolbar POSITION resets to the very top after closing firefox
*[[/questions/807135]] How can I move my toolbars up and down?
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10; }
#TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 100!important;}
#PersonalToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 101!important;}
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

No menus, buttons, address bar after installing Firefox4=unusable browser

After upgrading to Firefox 4, my previously open tabs open, my bookmark tab is displayed (in the wrong order: first tabs then bookmarks is not the work sequence). But I don't have any buttons, menu bar, address bar, or search bar. There is a Firefox single "Menu" that drops down 2 columns of 11 and 6 options, respectively (what kind of a hideous menu is that on a 1920*1200 screen?). No View menu, which is what I need to fix the mess created by the installer. BTW: Even though the look of FF4 is crisper than FF3, whoever was to design the user interface paradigm didn't know what they were doing. This UI is not user workflow oriented, see my comment above about bookmark and tab sequence. Why is the currently open tab visually associated with all bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar? Etc, etc.... Whatever, your choice, when I start hating it enough I'll switch to Chrome. Until then, please help me get menus back.

@ ''emlynn'', there are articles available on the Mozilla site which discuss the changes made to later versions.
However, on this particular occasion, I have to agree with you. I really don't understand why the new layout doesn't include a "File" menu. Mental aberration on the part of the developers methinks.
It's certainly not logical that a user has to go through this rigmarole to access the menu which disables "Work Offline".
But, in your own particular case, you need to update to v3.6.17 by clicking '''Help''', then '''Check For Updates''' a.s.a.p.
The reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

Tabs fail and address bar is glitched

Hi, I just downloaded safari 3 now, and when I try to open new tabs, it shows a loading symbol on the side (where the tabs is supposed to open up) but then it just disappears. In addition to that there seems to be a problem with the address bar; when a new page is loading the address is partially in bold font. That isn't really a problem but I think it's related to the tab issue.

Hi. If your OS is up to date via Software Update you shouldn't have had to download Safari 3. It is included in 10.4.11.
I suggest you go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
and download/install the Combo update.
But first you need to check that there is no errors on your start-up disk that caused your Safari problems. Insert your Tiger install disk in the drive and restart. As soon as you hear the start-up chime press and hold the 'C' key. When the installer has finished loading select your Language then Next/Continue. On the next page look at the top left of the menu bar and select Utilities/Disk Utility. Choose your startup volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and select Repair Disk. If D.U. reports that the volume appears to be OK quit DU, quit Installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
If D.U. reports that repairs were made re-run repair until you get the message that the volume appears to be OK. Then quit D.U., quit installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
Then go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select your start-up volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and choose Repair Permissions. Once that has finished quit D.U.
Then back up at least your important files, or preferably create a clone of your system on an external drive if you have one. Then go to the above link, download it and install. It is a large file, will take a while to download, and takes a long time to install with a long double restart. Do Not interrupt the process once it has begun.
Good luck and post back with how things go or if you have any queries that you want to clear up before you embark upon the above.

Has anyone had any issue with opening a new tab and the address bar not connecting to websites in 33.1.1?

I think ever since we moved to v33, I've been having an irritating issue that whenever I open a new tab that isn't connected to a website yet and try to enter a website address, it won't connect to ANY website. Doesn't matter if I hit Enter to try to make it go, doesn't matter if I click the right-pointing arrow button to make it go, doesn't work. I can go into a tab already connected to a website, type in a new website there and it'll create a new tab and take me to the new website, but not if I use new tab button.
Anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

Sorry, that didn't help as I'm able to connect to websites, just not in a particular way.
For instance, I am able to type in and connect to websites IF the tab is already in use with a website (i.e. if I were to type "yahoo.com" in the address bar of this tab FF would open a new tab and take me to yahoo.com) but not when it is a completely new tab.

How do I move my TABS below the address bar WITHOUT having to install an add on ?? may have to goto another browser now!

Firefox just updated and now my TABS are above the address bar...
I do not wish to add another add on, it should be basic functionality to do this (as in previous versions)
The vast population of users also want this according to the forums.
How do I do this without having to resort to a "FIX" or an add on as this would add to memory usage.. ??
Why have you removed this functionality?

So if I dont want to install an add you suggest installing an add on???
PS, I dont want to install an addon!!

How can I move the open tabs down the address bar, like it was in the older version?

I love Firefox and been using it for a while, but the new version has some changes and they are kind of getting annoying.
I just need the open tabs not on top of the address/URL bar,
I just want them under the URL/address bar , like it was in the old version. Please guide me and walk me through how to do it.
I tried to look for it, but couldn't find it.

View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the 'Tab Bar on Top" option.

How can I move the tabs below the address bar in linux/FF 24?

I prefer the tabs to be under the address bar on my Firefox. Previously I could simply click or unclick an option to do this, and it remained the same as I upgraded. However, I recently moved to Linux Mint 16, and it had Firefox 24 already installed. I synched my bookmarks, but was unable to locate the option to move the tabs. I actually have the roomy bookmarks toolbar, and the tabs previously sat below it. Ideally, I would like to get them there again.

You can use the Classic Theme Restorer extension in Firefox 29 and later to restore some lost features including tabs on top.

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar?

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/) , but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Command+Enter".
I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!

There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.

Move tab under address bar

Hi.
Suddenly it moved up.
I tried for two hours to figure it out with no luck.
How do I move tabs back below adress bar?
Than kyou.
- Jonas

Firefox has had tabs at the top since Firefox 4. Between Firefox 4 and 28 there was an about:config setting to move them below the address bar, but since Firefox 29, you would have needed an add-on or custom style rule.
Did you notice any other changes? I ask because many Firefox users seem to have used the Refresh feature during their recent updates. This could come up as a button indicating that Firefox was running slowly and you could improve performance by restoring some default settings. If you click to do that, then an Old Firefox Data folder appears on your desktop. Do you see anything like that?

How do I get my address bar back? If I type in the URL of a website I need to navigate to, instead Mozilla is doing a Google Search and giving those results. How do I get the address bar back?

My address bar where I type in the URL has disappeared. I've searched through Help options, and found only one piece of moderately useful information (following) in Menu Reference. It is: "Open Location… Focuses on the Firefox URL bar so you can type in a new location to visit." However, Open Location is not included as a menu item in the File Tab in my Mozilla dropdown menu. I am not in Full Screen mode so that is not the problem! I think this may have happened last night when I went into Tools, then chose Options. I had been looking around to find out how to set up multiple tabs to open at Start-Up. Both Internet Explorer and Chrome have that option, and it's an important option to me. Firefox apparently does not over that feature, unfortunately. After looking through all the tab choices under Tools - Options, I went to the View menu, and chose Customize. I tried to add the Flexible Space icon, and it ended up being a mess so I had to remove those. The only thing I can think of is that it may have happened then, but I am not sure. I need my Address Bar back so that I can type in the URLS and just go to the websites.

Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )
