The location / awesome bar is not autocompleting anything

After upgrading FF to version 4, the awesome / location bar does not display/autocomplete any history, bookmark, etc. Of course, I check the settings and they are OK (when using location bar, suggest history and bookmarks). And I'm not talking about my previous FF3 history, but also the new history is not showing.
I upgraded from one of the latest 3 version, in Mac OS X 10.5.8

This is still an issue with Firefox 8.0.1 on all versions of OSX 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7 when using NFSv3, NFSv4, and AFP home directories. This has been an issue for all versions of Firefox >= 4. For some reason, the Awesome bar works in the latest versions of the Firefox 3 series. We don't want to rely on that because we don't know when you will stop updating it.

  • The "Awesome Bar" is not working. It does not recall anything from the Bookmarks

    Just updated to new Firefox. In the past, when I would start to type a site in the address bar firefox would complete it as it was already in my bookmarks. But now it does not do anything. It just sits there waiting for me to complete the address. I could start to type Netf and it automatically finish Netflix.com
    Why is this happening. Also, for the first couple days of the new version I had to go back into Tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they would finally stay the way I wanted them.
    I would tell it Never Remember History and after while I would look and it would say, Remember History. I wanted a Blank Start page, and it kept changing it. It's okay now but the Awesome Bar is not working at all.

    Do your bookmarks show up in the auto-suggest drop-down list?
    ''If not:'' Under Options > Privacy, in the bottom section, does it still show that Firefox should suggest Bookmarks in the Location bar?
    If auto-suggest works but the autofill isn't happening, you could double-check that it has not been disabled here:
    (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 '''autof''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If the '''browser.urlbar.autoFill''' preference is bold and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch its value back to the default value of true. That should work in new tabs.
    It's it already true, hmm, I wonder whether this is a private browsing issue? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing.)

  • My "awesome bar" is not showing up! How can I get it to show?

    My "awesome bar" is not showing up at the top of my page! How can I get it to turn back on? I have all of my plug-in information up to date. Help!

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    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.

  • Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages.

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808729''
    Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages. For example, when I click "more" it is like clicking a dead link. Nothing happens. When I click the "tools" icon or my email address to log out, same thing.

    Could you do the following please.
    In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
    In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting:
    '''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults'''
    If the figure on the right is a single number, or a minus figure i.e. '''-1''', right click it, choose '''Modify''', remove the current setting and replace it with the figure "'''12'''".
    Then close Firefox and restart it again.
    I went to Google Maps, but as you can see from the screenshot, directions appear to be working.
    You could also try creating a new Profile. See [[Managing profiles]]

  • Error 'The location you entered does not exist or is flagged as inactive.'

    Hi
    In iRecruitment, when Employee Candidate applies for any job, we are getting the error 'The location you entered does not exist or is flagged as inactive.' And it stops employee from applying to any jobs. We are in 11.5.10.2 version.
    Appreciate any pointers on the same.
    Thanks

    Hi Hussein
    Thanks for the update.
    I have gone through all those notes. But, the issue we face here seems to be a peculiar one. First of all, it happens while applying for job (iRecruitment Self Service) and not while creating a contingent worker or creating an employee in the form, as given in the notes.
    Moreover, We haven't had this error either in development nor in test instance. It happened only when we migrated the setups to Production. Moreover, the test and development are nothing but the clone of production at various time intervals. We have tested this on the very latest clone of production (that happened on 15th november) and verified that it doesn't popup there.
    Can you give me some insights 'What could be the actual problem'?
    Considering the solution given in the notes, it talks about 'Setting the default work location for the business group'? Where to set this up?
    Appreciate all your help.
    Thanks

  • When I go to websites the right scroll bar does not appear

    hen I go to websites the right scroll bar does not appear

    what is the url. Did you make the screen as wide as possible.
    A lot of web designers appear to think you have a lot of wasted unused space and are all to happy to "help you" make the most of that space.

  • Fire fox shows a window which indicates that the yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Then runs using 99% processor

    a window pops up when i open Firefox which indicates that the Yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Seems to lock up when going to Comcast.net. Uses 99% processor and won't close.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://comcast.net

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

  • For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

  • How do I revert the text in the URL / Awesome Bar to a sold color in Firefox 6?

    Are the settings in About:Config?

    That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
    Change a hidden preference:
    #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
    #if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
    #Filter: '''''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''''
    #in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to '''''false'''''

  • We updated our phones and now we are running out of memory.  Never happened before the update and we have not added anything new.  We have hardly anything on our phones.

    We updated our phones and now we are running out of memory.  Never happened before the update and we have not added anything new.  We have hardly anything on our phones.  Why am I having to remove stuff that has always been on my phone. 

    Thanks for the reply TJBUSMC1973. 
    I guess that means back to the shop.  Ridiculous to sell a phone that can't handle the new iOS more efficiently (or vice versa).  I can't imagine anyone going near a 5C now (I have a feeling mine had already been used and taken back once and sold as new at O2).

  • HT1338 I have hand this Mac for 4 years. Today for the first time mail will not do anything when I hit send. It is receiving but it will not send. Can anyone help?

    I have an IMac running on 10.6.8 and today for the first time mail will not do anything when I hit send. Can anyone help out there?

    Check your Window menu -> Activity menu to see if anything is really not happening.  If it isn't happening, check your settings.
