Using Firefox 4, the URL bar no longer displays the web address for my current web-site so I can't copy and paste links. Plus there's no refresh button.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really don't like it, but I still would like to give it a chance. However, the URL address bar no longer shows the current address for websites that I surf into. So it makes sharing pages or emailing links next to impossible. In addition to that, there is no Refresh icon that I can find so I'm stuck just hitting F5 to refresh my page.
Short of downgrading, is there anyway I can change those particular issues?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

    Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

    You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
    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).

  • I no longer see the URL of any website so can't copy and past URLs into any emails, etc. Is there some setting to make URLs visible? when I updated, the URLs disappeared. I'm on a MacBook.

    When I updated to the latest version of Firefox, the URLs disappeared so they are no longer visible at the top of the Firefox page. I can enter sites, but I can't copy and past the URLs anymore. Why can't I see the http://... info anymore? Is there some setting I changed or what might be the problem?
    thanks.

    Try this:
    Click on the orange Firefox tab > Highlight Options > click Navigation Toolbar.

  • Since the last firefox update I cannot use Adobe pdf doc viewer nor can I copy and paste in my browser. I am not happy about this

    Since the last firefox upgrade my copy/paste and adobe doc viewer functionality is gone.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last upgrade

    That is a bug in Firefox.
    You can set the Boolean pref <b>dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page or alternatively hold down Ctrl+C keys until the translate selection disappears that text in the left input text area start flashing.

  • I recently start using Firefox panorama. If I create a tab group that contains, for example, my favorite stack exchange websites, can I save ("bookmark") this tab group for easy access if I start a new session?

    I recently start using Firefox panorama. If I create a tab group that contains, for example, my favorite stack exchange websites, can I save ("bookmark") this tab group for easy access if I start a new session?

    You can bookmark all those tabs and place them in a folder.
    * "Bookmark This Page" and "Bookmark All Tabs" no longer show in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • I can't copy and paste from Word to the Internet (Firefox or Chrome), but I can copy and paste from Internet to Word

    I suddenly can't copy and paste text from Word to the internet (Firefox or Chrome, email or other websites), but I can do the reverse. Any ideas? Copy and paste works between Word docs, and it works between internet sites (e.g., web page to email), just not from Word to the internet. Please help. I need to copy and paste my resume for an online job application.

    There are a range of different kinds of forms. For example, this site uses very simple controls that don't automatically convert Word's formatting to an online format. The site where you are trying to paste your resume probably works differently.
    What methods have you tried using to paste? Typically one of these will work:
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit > Paste (from the menu)
    Some sites offer their own buttons to paste, but for security/privacy reasons, Firefox usually disables those.

  • How can I copy and paste a long page here without using email?

    How can I copy and paste a long page without using email?

    Thanks for replying. Actually I want to copy/paste a recipe from a website so I can keep the recipe. On p 39 it tells how to copy/paste, which I do a lot already, but it doesn't tell where to paste it so I can access or print it whenever I want. It's kind of a long recipe. Too long to type out. Any ideas for that?

  • Using the calendar can I copy and paste phone numbers.

    Using my iPad mini can I copy and paste phone numbers on the calendar from different weekdays?

    I"m not sure exactly what you mean, but if I go into an appointment and open that appointment. I'll then see an 'edit' button. I tap on that to bring up a pop up with the details of the appointment. In there I can select and copy text, then I can make a new appointment and paste that text into a new appointment on a different day.

  • I have followed the directions given and still can not copy and paste, how can I fix this?

    I am trying to use the copy and paste function on a website and I get a message window that states that firefox does not allow cut/copy/paste. I followed the link for help and created the js. text file like instructed with the website's URL. I still can not copy and paste. I can copy and paste on this website with internet explorer, but not with firefox. I can not perform all the website functions with the internet explorer brower and switching back and forth from browser to browser is very time consuming and a hassle. Please help me solve this issue.

    Try this using extension - Allow Clipboard Helper - it makes that a lot easier to do and lessens the incidence of user error. <br />

  • Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

    I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
    I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

    I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.
