How do I change the size of the address bar in Safari in Yosemite?

I'm hating all this blank space. Plus, I work with many open windows and am constantly copying and pasting links into the address bar in Safari, so it works better for me to have a longer address bar. I've already poked around in Preferences and the Customize Toolbar, but maybe I overlooked something. Does anyone know if this can be changed?

Yes. I tried deleting the spacers, moving the spacers, removing and re-adding the address bar, and nothing. All it does is add blank space to the end (And actually that picture got cut off. There's space on the right side too). I tried adjusting the space, but I don't think I can do that either?

Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

How do I disable the simplify awesome toolbar? (when i start typing it goes to the address bar instead of where I put the cursor)

When I am in Gmail or most other sites, when I type it automatically goes to the address bar. For example, in Gmail, I will click reply, and the cursor starts flashing in the message box. However, when I start typing, it goes into the address bar instead. When I am on another website (for example I am on my library website), i place my cursor in a field, start typing, and again it goes in the address bar. I have tried disabling the add-on, but it doesn't appear in the list of add-ons. When I search, I have the option of installing, as if I don't already have it. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Hi,
There are a few keyboard shortcuts that jumps to the awesome (location) bar. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Keyboard+shortcuts#w_miscellaneous this]. You can try to check if any keys are stuck.
If keyboard problems can be ruled out, you can also Reset Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

In Firefox 4, why are the website icons not appearing in the tabs and next to the URL in the address bar? They appear fine in the bookmarks menu.

The little favicons that represent the website show up as the blank page icon in the toolbar and in the address bar, but they appear fine in the bookmarks bar. I have tried clearing my cache, and that did not help.

My Tool Bar keeps changing, one minute I'll have features and not the next. URLs don't show in the Address Bar -- all of this started after the last up-date

Since the most recent up-date of Firefox I've had buttons on the tool bar vanish and then return when I change web sites, etc. Too, the address bar does not show URLs a lot of time, especially after a search and I click to the link. I have to look under page properties to find the web address in order to link to pages later or even book mark them.
Please email me @ [email protected]

I noticed ''similar behavior'' on what I had thought to be modified pop-up windows. But I accidentally created a new window (tab tearing) and the new window did not have menu bar or tabs bar, but if I selected that window then it showed all toolbars and the original window the reduced set and can keep switching between the two to keep reversing which is which. Needless to say I can't duplicate it again. The location showed "Go to web" instead of the location on the new window, reload did not fix that, but creating a new tab did fix that upon return to the tab.

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar? Safari and Chrome do this by default.

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 "Meta+Enter" where Meta = Command on a Mac.
I want to switch to Firefox, but this is the one and only thing preventing me from doing so! 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.

After updating to FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows, the address bar stopped working, as well as the search bar, though not immediately. Reinstall didn't fix it.

Initially I downloaded an AOL-optimized version, but when the problems came up I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago it randomly started again. Address bar won't go anywhere with enter or pressing the arrow button, and the search bar has no search engine. Trying add a search engine by clicking "manage search engines" doesn't help; the "add search enginges" button is unresponsive and there are none in the list to choose from. I uninstalled everything including my customizations and personal settings and reinstalled, which still didn't help. I tried disabling all the plugins and that didn't work either. I even tried searching from the FireFox home page search, since at that point it was the only page I could get to, and even that wouldn't search. The most recent add-on I downloaded was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it didn't seem to coincide with the start of the problems.
Update: I ran a malware program (MalWareBytes) and it came up with nothing. I also got back into FireFox to get the Troubleshooting Information and added it in. In addition, here's my complete plugin/extension list:
Plugins:
Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Unable to open any links. The entire web page appears greyed

Hi:
Ever since I stayed at a hotel this weekend and tried to use their wifi, I have been unable to do any more than access a single web page at a time. The page appears grey, and the links and scrolling are not operative.
Does anyone have any ideas.

Benfeet2004-
I suggest you go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. After resetting, you will probably need to reenter any WiFi passwords.

Can not copy a URL from the address bar/line

Why is it proving so difficult for me to copy a URL from the address bar using Safari? When I click on the link I want to copy, it does not highlight. I have used Command L and Command C, and that works but there has to be a simpler way. I also read that if I click the address bar once, then press the control key and click on it again that a menu would appear with cut, paste, copy. That does happen, but all options are greyed out, and not selectable. Another google search resulted in someone saying there was a button or arrow to click on and that this tool would copy the URL.
The URL I am copying is very long, longer that the address bar window
What Gives Here?

Click the icon (favicon) to the left of the URL.
That will select the entire URL.
Command C will copy the URL.

How do I delete memorized sites from address bar in Safari?

Hello,
I already read a lot of similar questions but didn't really find an answer. And I'm sorry if something is not well written as english is not my first language.
I'm trying to completely clear my address bar in safari, which still shows the same suggested sites everytime I write the first words of them. (For example, if I write "y", it shows me a couple of specific youtube links)
I tried deleting history and datas from safari settings, removing everything from the autocomplete menu, I deleted all my favorites and I also tried that turn off- turn on option. But they still appear everytime I start writing on safari.
I think they're somewhere memorizad on my ipad but I really didn't know it. Do u have any ideas about that?
Thank you!

You said you have done Settings > Safari > Clear Histoy. You might try that again.
Also try Settings > Safari > Clear cookies and data.

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.

How do I shut off the new colored progress bar under the address bar?

In Firefox 7, there is now a small colored "progress bar" under the address url that loads with colored segmentation as a web page loads. While some might consider it helpful, I consider it both distracting and obnoxious. Can someone tell me how to disable this "feature" in about:config? I want to keep the colored granularixation of address sections, but there is no need for that to load as a colored every time a page loads. If I wanted rainbows in my browser, I'd create a Lucky Charms theme. I don't need this, thanks.

I wish this was the case. This is a default action of Firefox 7, not a plugin. While I do want to replace the status bar one day, I have not used StatusBar4Ever to replace the late, lamented status bar as of yet. Unfortunately, this action is tied directly to the new colored segmentated address bar code. In version 5 and 6, he code was "unfinished" (or not fully implemented; take your pick), and as a result this thing never appeared. But in 7, the Firefox term prodly declaimed the feature "functional" and lo and behold, this problem arises! I do appreciate the suggestion, however.

Cursor Jumps Away from the Address Bar

When I start Firefox, the cursor jumps from the address bar to the search box; usuallly, this happens right after I type in WWW. I fix this by to the address bar; sometimes, it jumps back to the search box and I have to finally take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to click on the address bar. This is a frustrating time waster.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Press the escape key to stop loading the page if you do not want to use that home page, but want to open another page via the location bar.
Many websites use an onload event to set focus to a specific search field or input field.

The address bar on safari is active but the entire web page is greyed out so i can't access anything , can anyone advise
