Titles missing from location bar dropdown

The page titles and URLs are not displaying in the location bar dropdown that should display the history. The page icons are there on the left, as they normally are, but all the text is missing.
I recently had to end the firefox process as my browser was hanging. The problem has been occurring since then.
Here is a screenshot:

This has been linked to the Delicious Bookmarks extension (or maybe another Delicious-related extension). Please see this earlier thread for more discussion:

Refresh button is missing from location bar and bookmarks toolbar is blank when I first start FF30

When I start Firefox 30, my bookmarks toolbar is blank. I have to deselect it in View > toolbars then reselect it and they appear.
Also my refresh button at the far right of the location bar has disappeared and all I see is a magnifying glass.
Another issue I now have is that when I copy and paste the URL for any page into the location bar, this then triggers a Google search and doesnt go directly to the page associated with the URL.
I have tried renaming the FF profile and uninstalling/reinstalling FF but this hasnt resolved.
Any pointers to what my next step should be would be most welcome.
Im using Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit

Hi Tora Bisu,
Thanks for the reply, however this didnt help me because you didnt tell me where to find the setting "hide urls stop/reload button", and i couldnt find it myself.
However I did resolve the issue myself by disabling addons one by one and reenabling them til I discovered the culprit.
The culprit as i discovered was the Classic Theme Restorer, which has now been duly disabled and will not be used again.

How can I increase the number of sites shown in the location bar dropdown? No matter how much I go to a site, I can't get more than 5 to show.

I cleared all history. Now I am only able to get 5 sites in the location bar dropdown.

Increase or decrease '''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults''' using '''about:config'''

Lisa,
You may try the list (or go straight to 6) if you have updated to Yosemite without reinstalling).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Firefox 4 does not search from Location Bar (Awesome Bar)

I have searched the knowledge base, and not found anything exactly like my problem. A similar question, '''[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/815325 Url Keyword guessing does not work]''' is close... but only close. Link below.
I was previously able to type some keywords into the Location (Awesome) Bar, and it would either jump to an appropriate page, or come up with a Google Search page of possible sites.
I have upgraded to FF4, and while I can successfully conduct searches from the dedicated Search Bar, typing keywords into the Location Bar brings this problem. I have used "Mozilla Foundation" as my search keys:
'''Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesmozilla+foundation.'''
The portion '''file:///C:/Program''' appears blue as if it is a link, but clicking on it, nothing happens. I have attempted multiple search keys, and nothing changes.
I have attempted to use the about:config | keyword.enabled to turn it off, then back on, and it doesn't seem to have worked. I really can't decipher anything about the message that I do get (above). This may or may not matter, but I was surprised to find that my existing Add-On, "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1" is no longer compatible, and thus not functioning.
Thank you very much for helping.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

Disable loading of site from location bar

I've been using Beta 4 for a while, and it seems in the last two builds the location bar auto complete seemed to change a bit. I love how FF will work and pull my recent pages in the location bar as I type parts of the page name. However, it is extremely frustrating for FF to automatically load the page before I even click on the link. Often, it will load a page that is inline with the results put into the bar, but not the desired page. (Ex - I want to visit 10.15.1.10, start typing and after putting in 10.1, it loads 10.19.1.10, the page I just came from. At this point the page has loaded and I need to restart entering the desired address)
Is there any way to make it so the behavior required to load a page is either click or press enter?

It's particularly annoying when your favourite link need a password: the login/password dialogue box appears after every keystroke and grab the focus of the location bar without explicit permission.

Satellite A - Battery/Power Indicator Missing from Task Bar

Please help!

Hi
Maybe you have installed an software which affected this Windows option.
It could be also a damage registry entry
Maybe you could clean the OS using CCleaner and repair the registry

Remove Bookmarks from Location bar.Remains despite History only option

Need to clear '''present''' bookmarks (stars) from my location bar history , and not have them appear during browsing. If I suggest '''History'''. and then eliminate them by highlighting and '''DELETE,''' it solves the problem temporarily but then returns when I close, restart or turn off and start to browse again

If you want to remove all traces of a site, open up the history sidebar (use keyboards shortcut Control+H), locate the site in the history, right-click on it and select "Forget About This Site". That will delete all traces of that site from browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, passwords and site preferences.

The most frequent site is not at top of list on location bar dropdown in 10.0.2

Previous version ordered the drop down history on locator bar by frequency of use. This meant my most commonly visited site was at top of list and I used that to select my site. Now it's halfway down the history list and more inconvenient to access. I tried selecting the site many times to see if it would move up. No luck. Any way to change the order? Liked the old way better.

I don't think LabVIEW 6 generated those error log files as LabVIEW 7
does. Not sure if it did generate an error log at all, but definitely
not in ...\My Documents\LabVIEW Data directory. It may however create a file in the temporary directory.
As to the error message it is probably worth a try to enter 6.0.2
instead. It is not very likely that the code base of LabVIEW has
changed so significantly that this message would be in another place.
That said the error page on the NI site has not a single time helped me
up til now. I always seem to only get errors NI hasn't felt like adding
to that database.

Why have my location bar dropdown history as well as bookmarks stopped working?

For some reason I can no longer use the drop down arrow on my location bar to see my history and quickly go to a site previously viewed.
Also I can no longer bookmark any pages. I have gone to the tools and options and privacy to make the recommended tech support changes. Still nothing!
Help please

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks, Nothing
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Location+bar+autocomplete
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

"All my files" has gone missing from side bar, can't get it back

Hi,
I have deleted the "All my files" (in Dutch: "Al mijn bestanden") link from the sidebar by accident. It is no longer available and I cannot get it back by going to the Finder Preferences. As you can see from the picture it is missing in the Finder Side bar, but in Preferences it still is checked. Moreover, it is also no longer available from the "Go"-Menu (in Dutch: "Ga"), SHIFT-CMD-F is grey.
If I uncheck "All my files" in Preferences it automatically checks it again, but it does not reappear.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get it back? I only want to do a Lion restore factory settings as a last resort. Thanks.

When you restarted with the shift key held down, did the start up sequence look different from normal or just the same as usual?
If it looked the same as usual, try it again. See here for how to do a safe boot if you're not sure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If you are sure you started safe mode correctly, and 'All my files' is still not showing, you should restart the computer holding down 'command-r' and choose 'Reinstall OS X Lion' from the window. This should not affect any of your personal folders or apps, but please do backup your system before doing this in case anything goes wrong.
If you are sure you started safe mode correctly, and the problem was solved while in safe mode, restart your computer normally. If the problem reappears, go to
 > System Preferences... Login Items
Make a note of the programs listed in the window. Select all and click the minus '-' button at the bottom of the window. Restart your computer. You should find the problem solved. Now add each one of those programs back to the Login Items list one at a time, restarting after adding each one. After each restart, check 'All my files'. If when you find it disappears, go back to Login Items and remove the last program you added. That's the culprit.

Drag URL from location bar focuses unwanted tab

In all of the browsers I use, I'm constantly dragging URLs from the address bar to <elsewhere out of the browser, e.g. a folder>.
("Because that's the way I work, that's why.")
In or out of ffox safe-mode, and no matter where I place the tabs bar, if the dragging path crosses a tab (i.e. the tab header where the page title is displayed), that tab is focused i.e. selected AKA activated.
This is often a big performance hit (Definition: more of a hit than I'm willing to sustain), not to mention a d**ned annoyance.
And the re-focus initiates pretty quickly.
I'm not dragging particularly slowly. Definitely not hovering.
I'd be happy even with a solution which simply lengthens the interval before this happens.
I've searched about:config for 'delay', tried changing a couple of <not very plausible> candidates, no joy.
Using ffox 36 after a very long time of not using ffox, so I can't say if this is long-standing ffox behavior.
TIA
p.s. -- I.T. guy who's been doing this since before the PC/XT. As such, reeeeaallly hoping for zero replies which mention 'reboot', 're-install', 'try older', 'try newer', 'virus', 'new profile', HJT, MWB, etc.
IOW, hey, you kids get off my lawn.

Fred, cor-el...
Another part of "the way i work" is that most of my windows, and especially the ones i use the most, are placed:
-- tight against the right side of the desktop (actually, a few pixels past), so that i can just slam the mouse (pointer) against that side, and thereby
land squarely on the scrollbar without any fine manual control; and
-- tight against the top, so i can do likewise to bring a partly-covered
window into focus by landing squarely on its title-bar. (The windows are
all kept at dimensions that make them overlap, both left-to-right and
top-to-bottom, so that the lower-left corners tend to form a top-left to
bottom-right diagonal across the desktop. That way i can easily switch to
any window by touching an unobscured part of either its title-bar or its
bottom border.
The short-and-wide windows are things with a lot of columns, like directory / file trees, spreadsheets, etc., and the tall-and-narrow
windows are the text-dominated apps like browsers and editors.)
I already do leave part of the desktop visible at the very bottom and the
very left. So, i can easily drag links (or other items) from a page (or drag
the URL), either to the desktop or to pretty much any window which i
have open and un-minimized.
The other factor is this: i keep the "taskbar" configured to appear only when i slam the mouse (without needing careful positioning) against the
LEFT of the desktop (so the window titles are actually wide enough to be
legible) -- and i do likewise for the browser, i.e. have the tab bar on the
left so that the tab titles are wide & legible.
So, it's difficult to do the dragging without either passing over an
unfocused tab, or moving the mouse more slowly and carefully than i'd
rather bother with (to avoid being slowed down). About the only thing
which would consistently work, is to carefully drag to the top (or past
the bottom) of the browser window, without crossing an unfocused tab,
and then to the desired drop-point.
As i mentioned in the O.P., it would be a lot easier if there were some
way to just *slightly* increase the x-millisecond lag between the time
the mouse first crosses a tab, and the time the focus is switched.
As i said, i'm back on firefox (for about 2 months) after a long time away.
And i don't have this problem on other browsers. I don't remember how long the "change-focus delay" was on Opera12 (maybe even infinite),
but I just now tried it on Chrome 32, and it's about 500 msec if i pause
over an unfocused tab, and about a full second if the mouse is constantly
moving -- IOW, plenty of time for me to "pass through the neighborhood"
without having to think about it.
And here's irony: on SeaMonkey (2.33), it doesn't happen **at all**.
Unfortunately, neither Chrome nor SM seem to have a reliable,
non-kludgey way -- not even with extensions -- to have vertical tabs as an
integral part of the browser window.

Menu bar icons / clock (all but spotlight) are missing from menu bar

I started woke my MacBook up from sleeping for a few days this morning and everything ordinarily on the right side of the menu bar save the spotlight menu has disappeared.
I used to have a displays icon/menu, battery icon, network icon/menu, and clock displayed on the right side of the menu bar and they are now gone. If I go into the control panels for display, time, etc., to re-enable the menu bar icons, I can check the check box to display icon in menu bar, but the settings won't save! (Whenever I go back into the settings panel after making the change, the changes are reverted!)
Its getting pretty frustrating. Anyone have any ideas please?
