Typing web address into browser not working

I type into browser box the web address I want to go to and then press enter. Firefox browser does not go to the web address, it does not respond. I type www.wsj.com and then press "enter" on keyboard or cursor link on the arrow and Firefox browser does not go to that web address. It remains motionless. I have to type the web address into a search engine box in order to get to the web address I want to go to.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

My 2 week old ipad randomly shuts down and sometimes will not let me type web address into browser.

Sometimes my ipad will just restart itself (the screen goes black, and the apple icon appears and then it's back on). The battery will be higher than 50%. Also, when this is occurring frequently, the web browser will not let me type an address in. When I tap on the address bar it sends me back to my home screen. It will connect to the internet during this time, so I know it's not a internet connection problem.

When in doubt, reboot. Press and hold the sleep and power buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider. You may simply be overwhelming the memory. From time to time, doulbe click on the home button to see the task bar. Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.

Per window private browsing not working, still sharing cookies

Firefox 21, per window private browsing not working. The cookies are still shared among private browsing windows and tabs. Even with private tab addon, still not working.
If I log into google in one tab, I am still logged in with that account in new private tabs and private windows.

One more question about cookies in private browsing mode.
I don't like browse a web using usual mode 'cause I don't like tonns of sites in a history. But when I start with private mode every time I get empty set of cookies and this was not quite good for me 'cause some sites store its options needed for me. In a prev. versions of FF I solved this issue in such a way: I stored some cookies in a file and every time I started private browsing I loaded them from file. But now this method gives nothing: in cookies manager all set of "non private" cookies is shown both before importing and after importing them from a file and I need to reconfigure my sites every time I start private browsing.
I'm sorry for my English.

If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
How can I fix this ???
Ron
PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic. 
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button). 
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink. 
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Address Book is Not Working

Suddenly Address Book is not working. I can type addresses into Mail, but if I try to click on names directly from Address Book, nothing happens. It has been working fine until today. Contacts is fine; all addresses are there, but I wanted to enter several people from Address Book and nothing prints. How can I fix it? I have an Imac with Mountain Lion.

It is a Maverick bug and there is a lot of discussion on it in the Mavericks section.

this code changes the following also that shouldn't be:
SS201/202/304/316 tube.carbon pipe, fittings.
converts SS201/202/304/316 ***** pipe, fittings.
and how can v solve this problem?
my website is yahoo dot com
and my email is kk at hotmail dot com
thanks & regardsLike I said: the code is far from perfect and will probably produce false positives (as you already mentioned). Try to play with it so that it suits your needs.

I use to drag and drop an web address into a link toolbar, can't seem to figure out how to do this...?

I just upgraded to Windows 7 and with it I got the latest Firefox. There is nothing like learning 2 things at one time. On my old XP and 3.? all I have to do was drag and drop a web address into a link toolbar. Saving all my frequent visited or just sights I want quick access to, to a toolbar quick button. I have been playing with this for days and decided to try this Forum. I did find the Bookmark toolbar, but cant seem to figure out what is if for or if you can drop into it. When I right click it and Customize, it shows me add on buttons, but nothing to do with web addresses or alike...
Bottom line; I want to be able to drag and drop a web address into a toolbar for recall latter and be able to edit the address with a right click at a latter date in necessary...
Thanks, Mike

You can drag and drop the favicon also known as the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button site identity button], at the left hand edge of the location bar onto a toolbar to bookmark the site.

In private browsing not working in Firefox 3.6.12 If I open yahoomail one session for one account and if I open other session for yahoomail, it automatically opens the earlier mail account.

That problem isn't related to Private Browsing specifically, that's how Firefox works with regards to multiple "sessions" with the same server - only one logon is allowed at any time. Try using one of these extensions to be able to run multiple session cookies.

Success! I disabled the AVG search and now I can press enter to get to a web page! Thanks for the quick response!

C7 browser not working after update to anna

c7 browser not working after update to anna.. Plz help

Hi bluz,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
If the default browser doesn't work after updating to Anna, hard reset the device and then reinstall Anna with Nokia Suite.
Take a back up with Nokia Suite by going to Tools > Back up. When making the backup, don't tick the Settings box as this will back up the bug. Now hard reset the phone with *#7370# and default security code 12345 unless you've changed this code yourself. Once the phone has rebooted you will have an empty phone.
Now click on the green icon in Nokia Suite and reinstall the current software. Once you've done this, click on Tools > Restore to place the back up back onto your phone.
After doing the above you will be able to use the default browser again.
Let me know how you get on so that I can troubleshoot, if necessary.

Downloading IE because Firefox is messed up...multiple issues (1) browser window missing = no window to input address data. (2) No back or forward arrow buttons (3) tabbed browsing not working

absolutely frustrated since Friday
THERE is NO DATA in the help files for this:
I CANNOT navigate the WWW with these parts of FireFox missing.
1) backwards and forwards arrows are missing
2) The Tabbed browsing is not working
when I click on tabbed browsing I get a blank screen and because the browser window is missing I cannot type in an address or any other data.

Pressing "F11" will toggle Full Screen mode on/off in most browsers. In Full Screen mode you will not display toolbars.
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)]
Location bar in Firefox or Address Bar in any other browser is where you type in a url address, it is on the Navigation bar and it is not a window.
If you are missing toolbars and are not in Full Screen mode,
* "Alt" > Toolbars > ...check mark menu bar or other toolbar
If you have your toolbars but are missing parts of thyem use "cutomization".
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization_-_Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
You can make '''Firefox 8.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 9.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Fscommand and swf in web browser not working

Hi,
I am trying to open one flash projector exe file from web browser swf file but it is not working.
When I tried calling the fscommand("exec", "myapplication.bat") and fscommand("exec", "myapplication.exe") from projector exe flash file then it works fine.
I just want to know the supportabilities of fscommand in as3 using Flash Proffessional CS5.
Please suggest.
Best regards,

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/package.ht ml
The line that matters: None of the commands are available in web players.
On the web use ExternalInterface to run JavaScript on the page - not sure you'll have much luck with exec though.

Exchange Office Web Apps Preview Does not work in OWA (web)

I have setup Exchange 2013, Lync 2013, SharePoint 2013, IIS as a Reverse Proxy Server, an Office Web Apps Server, etc, etc. Everything is setup to use SSl (https) and everything works great EXCEPT... Office Web Apps... and ONLY via Exchange and OWA (exchange
browser-based access).
I can login via the intranet or Internet for everything (SharePoint, Outlook, and Lync) and Office Web apps functionality works flawlessly for all... except for Exchange and OWA.
If I login in to a web-based Exchange seeion, everything works right and I can see the various attachments.
For all other scenarios, Office Web Apps works (SharePoint, Outlook, Lync, etc), but in owa (web version of Outlook) I see that Office Web Apps is triggered (I see the Office Web Apps text and the dots that indicate something is loading)... However, it just
crashes and eventually times out (see image):
If I look in the error logs for the Web Apps Server I see this:
Essentially, it looks like that owa uses a distinctly different path to load the attachments into the Web Apps Server such that the file is not found!
What is happening? Why does Exchange OWA (web version of Outlook) somehow use a different path that fails to locate attachments in Office Web Apps, but Lync, Outlook, and SharePoint (both in Intranet and Internet) work perfectly?
This is VERY frustrating. Can anyone help?
Please?
Clearly, the reverse proxy is working, the certificates are working, OAuth is working, etc. It seems there must be some variable/path that is only defined in Exchange for OWA that uses a different path for Office Web App attachments and that path is WRONG!
Please, help!
Thanks
