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 :)

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.

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

When I type in a website in the address bar, it doesn't take me to the website I typed in. I hit enter and the green arrow also and it does nothing.

I have to go to google and type in the website from the address bar and go from there. Also the back and forward buttons do not work on any of the betas for FF4.

This type of behaviour can be caused by an incompatible add-on. Follow the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit. In Firefox 4 betas you can use the "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" option in the Help sub-menu to go into safe mode.
If you use AVG and have AVG Safe Search, start by disabling that extension as it has caused problems with the location bar for some people.

HT201250 The back ups are not displaying when i enter the time machine

I'm trying to restore my files to my new MacBook I just purchased. I have the external hard drive connected and entered the Time Machine. But, the back-ups are not displayed "in pink on the right side" as indicated in the directions. I do see the back up folders when I open up the hard drive using Finder. Any ideas on how I can restore my files?
Thanks

You should be using Setup Assistant to import your data, as detailed here:

How can I get the address bar to just display URLs?

With the newest update to Firefox when I type something in the address bar I get more search suggestions than URL suggestions. I only want URL suggestions and want to turn the search off completely. I've tried turning off the "keyword:enable" on the back end of Firefox and it still does not work. Is there a way to go back to just seeing URL's in the address bar?

I've seen a similar thing in another user's screen shot, but I can't seem to trigger it on my own Firefox.
Are you seeing search suggestions for possibly matching words/phrases pulled in real time from your preferred search engine (like the drop-down on the search bar), or history entries reflecting terms you previously searched for?
Do you use any extensions that modify how the address bar works?

The Url History in the address bar is not working anymore. Reinstalling/Updating does not fix this. How to I get this working again?

I'm talking about the Address Bar.
For example: You type in Google and it shows www.google.com etc. Because this is in your history.
But this has stopped working since I emptied my cookies. But not my history. I also checked if my history is still there. Which it is.
And I cant find out why at all.
I'm sorry if I really can't give much info. But this is what I concluded. Seeing English ain't my native language. My google searches for this question seem to be either in the wrong direction or this is something that never happened before.

Tools>Options>Privacy - Click the drop down menu under Location Bar and set when using the location bar, suggest to - History and Bookmarks.

The google feeling lucky app from the address bar is not working, a program called vshare performs a search instead and I am unable to restore the original function. please help

I do not know how but vshare, has been performing a search everytime I type something in the address bar that is not a complete website i.e. facebook instead of facebook.com
this is very annoying and I am unable to uninstall vshare, I have even tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it

I had this problem too, and just fixed it, and found a great website that helped.
1. In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
2. Locate and double-click the entry for keyword.URL
3. Set the value based on which search provider you would like to use for your address bar searches. Here are a few search strings you can use.
Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=
Ask: http://www.ask.com/web?q=
Google: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
ChaCha: http://search.chacha.com/search/query?searchwithguide=0&query=
source: http://www.technipages.com/firefox-change-address-bar-search-provider.html
And if you want the I'm Feeling Lucky search, instead of just the Google page search, then put:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
instead of: http://www.google.com/search?&q=
I just did that, and it worked for me. I had to go through a bunch of the different options, but I found one that worked.

I have all tabs set to open with Google search, but when I open a new tab and start typing, the letters appear in the address bar and not the Google search bar. It didn't used to be like this!

Firefox 9.01; Windows 7 64 bit;
One of my set of home pages is the basic Google search page. When I open this, I can immediately start typing and the words appear in the Google search box.
If however I open a new tab (white cross far right of tab bar) and start typing, the words appear in the address bar, not in the Google search box. Of course once I click in the search box I can carry on: but I'd like to make it start there as it does with the homepage.

If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
-> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

Can I delete the automatic links that pop up in the address bar? I don't really like the suggestions that come up as I'm typing a web address because they are usually not helpful!

For example if I am trying to type in an address, the address bar fills in immediately with a prior-visited address that has a similar name (it thinks it's helping me) but that's not the link I want. Can I clear out or cancel this feature of firefox?
Thank you!

Set the Location Bar to "Nothing": Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing

The dropdown list in the address bar does not work when clicked

In the address bar the dropdown list icon does not work when clicked. I have tried resetting everything in safemode and it still doesn't work. When I click on the icon it just highlights the entire address line.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Since switching to Firefox 4 I'm unable to access a web page by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar; I now have to click on the bar; how do I change things so that I can go back to a keyboard shortcut?

I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible but since updating to Firefox 4 I can no longer access a web page simply by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar. Can I get back to this useful shortcut somehow and avoid having to fiddle with a mouse?

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

I am unable to open press enter in the address bar and have to click return with the mouse

So when i open a new session of firefox/new window/new tab and click to type in the address bar, firefox will not allow me to hit return/enter to load the page. I have to manually click on the return icon to get the page to load. I have tried using a different keyboard but this does not help. This only occurs within the address bar not within any other part of the page or within any other program. please help

the it was the avg safe search that was causing the issue. Thanks for the help.

How do I get the address bar to not have faded out parts?

I just let firefox update itself, and now my address bar is all faded except for the domain name. This is annoying, as it's harder to read the rest of the URL. How do I get it back to normal?

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

The address bar is not displaying the URL of the page
