The address bar doesn't show the current page

If I type an address directly into the address bar, it is correct and gets the correct page. However, all of the other tabs now have the same address even though they are still on the page that I previously brought up.
If I do a Google search and then click on an address, the address name is the one that I last had entered into the address bar and none of the addresses change.
I don't know if this happens all the time but it is happening right now and has happened before. I just tested things to determine when it happens.

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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why does when I open new tab on certain website, the link on the address bar doesn't match the page I'm on and shows the link of the page I'm on before?

When I open a new tab...the link on the new tab shows the link of the page I'm previously on. Some of the other page had that effect too. But some website doesn't seem to be affected(ex: Twitter)

The URL does not change in the address bar, it always shows the initial URL of the project.

Is it possible to show the exact link when a topic is opened? I only found a workaround by opening the topic in a new tab, clicking the show ToC option and copying the link, but I would not suggest that method to our customers.

I have Windows 8. The address bar does not show on firefox. How do I fix this?

The address bar does not show. How do I get it to appear?

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear. Make sure that you have the Navigation Toolbar and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

The address bar is not displaying the URL of the page

When I open a tab, I cannot see the URL of the opened page in it. If I enter a new address and press enter, I go to the page. The URL displays the entered URL, but doesn't change for the new pages that load.
Also, the back/forward buttons do not work. I'm guessing it's related to the address bar issue.

Found it! The "Redirect Remover" extension was causing the problem! Thanks for your help :)

Cursor automatically moves to the address bar when I open a new page

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, when I open a new tab the typing cursor automatically moves to the address bar instead of the search engine bar. I have the tab mix plus addon. A solution appears to have been found for the same problem with the newtabhomepage addon, but since the two are not compatible with each other, I don't want to switch addons. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

If your using the 'New Tab Homepage' extension then this happens when you upgrade to Firefox.
Open up Firefox and click on Ctrl+Shift+A to bring up the add on/extensions menu. Have a look in the Extensions bit for an Extension that has a version no of 0.4.3. if you have it then it needs uninstalling. Then download the new file from the mediafire link
http://www.mediafire.com/?v1113g9noytswdv
You will then be asked if you sure you want to install it and drag it on to the extensions page in Firefox.
Once installed restart Firefox. Once restarted your homepage will load whenever you start a new tab.

I use to be able to enter a URL and hit enter and Firefox would go to that site. Now I must hit the arrow in the address bar to go to the web page. How can I change that back

I can no longer just hit enter to go to a web page. Now I have to hit the arrow on the right side of the address bar.

There is a known issue for Firefox 10 on Windows. It involves AVG Safe Search making the "Enter" key not work in the Location/URL bar. AVG needs to fix the problem with their Add-on for Firefox.

What happened to the little oval button on the top right that made the address bar dissappear and turned the screen into a kind of full screen view? I'm running the beta on OS X 10.6

I used it to hide the address bar when I was watching videos or playing web games.

jeez two months and still no reply. does anybody have any tips or help?

The url bar will not show the full url of an website.

When I go to a website Firefox doesn't show the full URL I'm not talking about the http:// part but the bottom half of the URL is cut off. Though if I scroll/move the text over the rest of the URL appears.

This just started today for me though after I had some problems with a plug-in called Grease Monkey un-enabling itself but that problem fixed itself

hello lilirulu, do you have a device with a fingerprint reader and authentec truesuite software (might be re-branded with a different name by your manufacturer)? if so please try updating it to the latest version or in case this doesn't work either you might have to contact the truesuite support directly.
in [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/937571 this thread] we've already gone through the whole firefox troubleshooting procedure available and it looked like that no tweak or setting in firefox could cure the issue...

Sometimes the volume bar doesn't show up on the ipad

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I am having. One day out of the blue the sound on my wife's iPad stoped working for music or videos. The speakers still worked for ringers but not anything else, so I know that the speakers still work. Also I have noticed that the sound only works for the videos and music when you plug in headphones. Also for some reason if you go to raise or lower the volume the volume bar isn't present, I can't do anything with sound aside from hear my ringer. So I wanted to know if anyone knew what was wrong with it. I am thinking there might be a short because sometimes it will work again but only for about 3 seconds and then it doesn't work any more.
Also please don't give me the link of trouble shooting steps because I have already done them all, and I have also reset the iPad back to the original factory settings and nothing fixed the problem. I even went as far as going to geek squad since I had free tech support from them for the moment and they just told me that according to all the test/trouble shooting procedure that there is nothing wrong with the iPad hardware or software wise and since the speaker works with the ringer, it is obviously working. However for some reason it does not work with videos, music, or anything else for that matter without the headphones being plugged in.
If anyone has experience this problem please tell me what you had to do to get it fixed, and if repair was necessary how much did it cost?
P.S. I am sure that the mute is not on.

Sound not playing through iPhone 4s speakers in Music - the volume bar doesn't show up.

When I want to listen to music without headphones, the music doesn't play because the volume bar is absent. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Lock and Home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds or until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo.
