When I want to go directly to a url, Firefox won't go there anymore. I don't want to search, I want to go directly to a site, but there is no response. FF 3.6.8

If I type a url directly into the navigation toolbar, and hit enter or the arrow at the immediate right, the browser window doesn't change. This is my main concern.
here is another change that may be related:
Also, I lost my choices of search engines to use in a small box to the right which is also on the navigation toolbar. The box is there, but no options. I can open a dialog box to reset my choice of search engines, but no choices appear.

I should be able to answer your first item, but not the latter. I have the same thing going on in Firefox now also, however, in mine it opens in a new tab. I use Tab Mix Plus add-on and thought it was something in the Tab Mix Plus options that I recently changed. In either case mine opens in a new tab. Did you check to see if it is opening in a new tab or a new window when you are doing that. If you are using a Tab add-on it might be something in your tab options settings in that add-on that is causing what you are experiencing.
You can also go to Tools >> Options >> Tabs but I don't see anything there that would trigger what you are describing .

  • Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

    Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month.  How do I do this with the new operating system?

    Adding to Alan's answer:
    One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled. 
    If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this!  You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock.  You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter.  This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval.  You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
    Note:  the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st.  For your app, you should ignore it.

  • When adding bookmarks and trying to changing its name, Firefox won't allow using the mouse; Firefox will only allow using the arrow keys (MAC OS 10.5, Firefox 3.6.8)

    When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.
    Nothing other than updates (using Mac Software Update and Firefox Update) has been done to this computer (it's a 2002 Power Mac G4-Dual 1.25GHz).

  • When I click on a link in an emial, Firefox won't open up

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox yesterday. Firefox is my default browser. Now when I click on a link in an email, Firefox will show up at the top of the screen "Firefox-File-Edit-View-etc" but it would open the Firefox page.

    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.

  • I lost my bookmark list where the dropdown doesnt work. Same goes for the webpage address tab where it just does not save. When I try to bookmark a new page after clicking "Bookmark this page", there was no response too. Can someone please help me???

    It was still functioning last night and before I close the firefox window, the problem started. The problem persist until now.
    1. Bookmark - tried to check the "help" list for lost bookmark but none of them seems to suit the problem i'm facing. The menu tab is there, but when i click on "Bookmarks", my previous bookmark list is not there. When I try to bookmark a new page, there is no window popping up (usually there is a small window pop-up to ask for the label of the website to be bookmarked).
    2. The website address tab - usually we have a list of website that we usually visit so we just need to click on the arrow and click on the webpage that we want to visit. But now, I have to type the website address every single time. There is no drop down when i click on the arrow.
    Can someone tell me what is wrong with it and please help me to solve this problem. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My toolbar won't add new sites when I want it too, I tried resetting it, but it did not help, what can I do?

    I have been trying to add new sites to my toolbar, but it won't. I don't know when it started, but it has been quite a while.

    So I am not second guessing too much, tell us where you are in fact plugging it in.   I merely mentioned the keyboard USB socket (not even knowing what computer type you have (it helps to put that in your user profile) and maybe you don't even have a keyboard socket) because I (and others) have tried plugging a flash drive into my keyboard's USB and gotten a "too little power" message.

  • When I want to go to a familiar site (ex. hotmail, or a favorite site) yahoo us is always popping up and either does not recognize the site or flatly refuses to go there. I would like to get rid of this interference!! with yahoo taking over my choices

    After switching to Firefox 4 update- Yahoo US has been showing up and blocking my links thru bookmarks to my favorites and/or common sites, such as hotmail, the weathernetwork, pogo, spintop etc. It takes you to a yahoo search. Or can't find the site. It blocks my everyday sites and I have to reenter and figure out another way to get there.

    I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.

  • There doesn't seem to be a "close" tab any more when I want to exit out of a website but not out of the Internet.

    Under the "File" tab, there used to be a place you could click on to close a particular file but not exit Firefox. That tab seems to be gone. I'm sure it's somewhere, but where? Clearly I'm not a tech savvy person but I can understand basic language.

  • When I try to load a newer version of firefox I get the error message "you don't have sufficient permissions to load firefox" from firefox. How do I get them?

    have firefox 3.0.10 on my Mac with OS X .5.6 I can download the latest version of firefox, 7.0.1 dmg. I can open that and get a drive on the desktop. I am the only user and system administrator. How can I not have sufficient privileges? but when I drag the firefox program to the applications folder I always get this message from the firefox program. "you don't have sufficient privileges to open firefox" What is going wrong to prevent me from updating my firefox?

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • When trying to view photos from a Facebook post, Firefox won't display photos

    I can view Facebook photos on the home page and in photo albums. But Firefox will not display photos on the home page when I click on the photo to see the larger version.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
