URL does not come up in location bar

When I open a new tab and click on a bookmark, the url loads in the location bar and then goes blank. The cursor stays in the location bar and I have to click on the new page before it moves. How do I get the website name to appear automatically in the location bar when I open a new tab. I have Status-4-evar installed and although it worked when I first used it, it no longer does.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

When I click on a link the address does not display in the location bar in the new tab. Which makes the back/forward button and refresh buttons unable to be used

When opening a link any link from firefox address does not display in the location bar. Even when navigating forward from there the address does not show back/forward button and refresh all rendered unable to be used

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

Safari 5.0 - URL does not change when changing location

I have noticed this on two Macs running 10.6.3. When moving between pages (eg, clicking on a link within a page, or using the Google search bar to locate and load a new page), the URL in the address bar does not change to the new location. It remains at the
This applies whether the new page is within the same domain, or is at a different location.
Specific test: Load http://news.bbc.co.uk in Safari. Towards the top left of the page, there's a link to the BBC home page, which should appear in the status bar as "http://www.bbc.co.uk". Clicking on it will send you to that page, but the URL will remain as the news subdomain. If you click to another tab, then click back, it'll then update correctly.

Hi Matt,
MIght be corrupted Safari pref files.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
If the problem persists, go to ~/Library/Caches. From the com.apple.Safari folder move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

The Enter Key does not work in the location bar; I have to manually select the "Go To" icon since upgrading to Version 10.

I just upgraded to Firefox 10. When I manually enter a URL into the location bar, the "Go To" arrow does not have focus, so the Enter Key will not work. I have to manually select the "Go To" arrow to navigate. Any suggestions?

This could be the AVG safe search extension. If you have that installed, try disabling it. Instructions here: [[Using extensions with Firefox#w_how-to-disable-or-remove-extensions]]

Url does not show up in address bar...and when i type in a search box, the cursor jumps up to the address bar automatically

I'm not sure what happened. However, I can never see the URL in the address bar anymore.
I go from page to page, and the URL shows only for a split second, then disappers.
All the address bar says is "Search or enter address"
I copy and paste a lot of URL links for work, so this makes it very painful and a hassle now.
Where now i need to go back, right click on a link, and do "copy link location".
Where as i used to just go up to the address bar and copy the URL.
Also, I notice now when I start typing on certain search boxes.
The cursor automatically jumps to the URL address bar as soon as I start typing. Which is really annoying.
It will only do it once it seems....but its annoying when i try to type a search...only to see that i've been typing in the URL address box cus it jumped up there.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

The URL does not change in the address bar, it always shows the initial URL of the project.

Is it possible to show the exact link when a topic is opened? I only found a workaround by opening the topic in a new tab, clicking the show ToC option and copying the link, but I would not suggest that method to our customers.

In 5.0 URL does not show in location bar when I am using a second Firefox window

I have a lot of problems when using a second window for Firefox 5.0. (I have two monitors and like an open browser on each.) One problem is that when I open a new tab, the URL of a site that I go to does not show in the location bar. It just says "Go to a Web site."
I don't understand why a second copy of the browser acts so differently than the first. Can someone explain this to me? Is there any way to avoid this?
FYI: I had the same problem with 4.0 and reinstalled an older version. But the newest version of WordPress suggested upgrading Firefox, which I did.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am familiar with your solution and tried it. It did not solve this problem.

Press Alt to popup Menu Toolbar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item does not come up AND the Tool Bar closes

Options-->Menu Bar is Unchecked(off) (so, TABS are at the top of the screen):
Press Alt to popup Menu Bar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item clicked on does not come up -and- the Menu Bar closes.
So, Alt->Popup Menu Bar->Click a Custom Icon does not function properly.
see Troubleshooting Info below-->

First off if you have Firefox4 you probably also have an earlier version such as firefox 3.6.15 installed. By default firefox installs these in slightly different locations, but it leaves it up to you to create a separate profile for each version. The profile is where firefox stores data and settings. I am not sure that firefox explains this clearly, but you will run into problems if you do not have a separate profile for each version of firefox. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
To try to get the toolbars working correctly, after you have ensured you have separate profiles in use for each version ( the following action will make changes)
# use the restore default set from the customise / customize toolbars dialogue
# if that does not work then
#* use [safe mode] and the option [X] reset toolbars and controls

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

My Macbook built-in keyboard has stopped responding, (even caps lock light does not come on). What can I do as cannot even login to computer?
There has been no spillage and it has not been dropped.

Do you have access to a USB wired Apple (or maybe even a PC) keyboard?
That may be used to help troubleshoot the internal keyboard and on startup
be able to access (or see if you can) the System, and attempt to see about
troubleshooting. See if it will start in SafeBoot, (shift key held down just after
startup tone, if it runs in safeboot, then login to see if you can read system
logs in Console) and another idea may be to attempt to start in Recovery &
then attempt to use OS X Utilities there to see if you can verify and then to
repair the hard disk drive, and do some checks on the hardware.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Was the computer an Apple official refurbished unit bought direct from Apple?
Did you get an extended warranty from Apple - if it were directly bought there?
Usually these are online purchases from Apple Store; other companies offer
repaired or restored used computers and call them 'refurbished' or they may
have bought actual refurbished from Apple stock; these may be resold on ebay
or via amazon, and may or may not have a residual warranty of some kind.
In some cases the keyboard may fail due to some connection on the logic board
not fitting correctly, or some other loose wire; however if the battery may have
swollen, that could contribute to issues with both trackpad and keyboard.
A visit to an authorized Apple service provider is recommended, or contact the
seller you bought yours from to ask if they may offer suggestions or perhaps a
discount on diagnostic + repair if there is no warranty on the product.

When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one. Then save the file. If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

This error is happening everyday. Please advise for a fix.
If this is happening on an UPSTREAM server it is because you have approved updates that are no longer available from Microsoft. Almost always this involves approvals of *EXPIRED* updates (which have been pulled from the catalog and cannot be downloaded).
If this is happening on a DOWNSTREAM server it's because something/someone deleted the files from the upstream server. It can also happen if the entire upstream ~\WSUSContent folder has gone amuk.
For an upstream server, find the expired updates, remove the approvals, cancel the downloads, and then decline the updates.
For a downstream server, figure out what the affected updates are and fix the upstream server.
