"When using the location bar suggest..." Even set to "Nothing" I still get suggestions. Make it stop, please!

I have tried changing the field to 'Nothing" several times with no result. It still gives me suggestions. I've tried clearing recent history with no results either. As you can see below, my "browser.urlbar.autoFill", "browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed", and "browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled" are all set to 'false'
Any help with this is GREATLY appreciated.

I found it.

  • I want my privacy settings with using the location bar to stay at NOthing

    Hi. I cannot stand how the location bar works with Mozilla. I have went to 'Privacy', clicked on "when using the location bar, suggest", and then clicked on NOTHING. It does not stay with this setting, but goes back to showing everything. I don't want everyone in my house seeing exactly what I have been doing, nor do "I" want to see the addresses and bookmarks listed here. If I want to view all of that, I will got to "bookmarks" or "history".

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your 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")
    If you do not want that data to appear if the location bar history is enabled then use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the history when you exit Firefox or use [[Private Browsing]] mode.

  • When using the search bar, is it possible to get the search results in a new tab?

    In the old Google toolbar, it was possible to view the search results in a new tab. Google toolbar is compatible with Firefox 7, so I have to use the Firefox Search Bar. However, it always gets the search results in the current tab. Can this be modified?

    Yes. Open a new tab and type or paste ''about:config'' into the location bar, hit enter, and hit enter again to get past the warning. Then paste ''browser.search.openintab'' into the filter box that shows, then double-click on the ''browser.search.openintab'' line to toggle it (it will switch to bold).
    If you'd rather an addon just do the above for you and add a menu option for it, try this:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchontab/
    Alternatively, you can type a search into the search bar and press ''alt+enter'' instead of just enter to open your search in a new tab.

  • How do I use the location bar to search for phrases that do not contain spaces?

    When I type phrases that contain spaces into the search bar, it brings up a google search as specified by my about:config under keyword.URL
    However, when I type anything that *does not* contain a space (e.g. potatoes), firefox tries to connect to http://potatoes/, returning a "cannot establish connection to server at potatoes"
    my keyword.URL is set to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    browser.fixup.alternate.enabled is *false*
    browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled is *true* (though I don't think this has anything to do with it)

    hello jywang74, please update to firefox version 33.0.2 - there you'll see a different behaviour (keyword.url is no longer used btw, the address bar uses the same search provider as set in the searchbar).

  • How do I use the location bar to automatically load the top google hit?

    I recently re-installed Firefox 3.6.12 and created a new profile because my old one was malfunctioning. Before, when I typed something in the location bar (say "nyt") it would automatically load the first Google hit (so I didn't have to type "nytimes.com"). Now, it simply performs a Google search without loading the first page hit. I loved being able to save time this way. How do I restore this feature?

    I had this problem in FF4 and found the answer here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/756711#answer-
    To quote TonyE:
    Current release versions of Firefox by default use the Google "browse by name" search option for the location bar, but Firefox 4 beta 6 no longer uses this. You can restore it by changing a hidden preference. In Firefox 4 beta 6 it should have defaulted to a Google search rather than what you got.
    Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
    Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    In the filter box type keyword
    Double-click on the preference keyword.URL and change it to the one shown below
    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

  • All of a suddem a period consistently appears automatically in the location bar in front of my selected website address. How do I stop this?

    The automatic insertion of a period before the desired web address causes the search to error.
    I currently must always manually remove this period before I type the address...very annoying.
    What did I inadvertently do to cause this period to remain after I delete an address from the
    location bar and how do I correct it?

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Why, when I requested that the location bar suggest 'nothing' does it continue to do so?

    Went into Tools, then options, then Location Bar. Chose Suggest 'nothing'. Clicked OK. Done this several times but has been completely ignored!

    Maybe there is a problem with the preferences.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Resetting+preferences
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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 get an 'Invalid Image Type' error when using the Locate Features. (Evaluatio​n version)

    I'm using the Evaluation Version of Vision Builder. I Simulate Acquisition using my own image (jpg), which loads fine. However, when I try to use any of the Inspection Steps features, other than Enhance Images, I get an "Invalid Image Type" error.

    Hello,
    Vision Builder functions usually work with a certain image type. For example, all the functions listed under Binary (in the menubar) will only work with binary images. Likewise, color functions will work for color images and grayscale will work for grayscale images.
    You can convert a color image into a grayscale by extracting a color plane and a grayscale image can be converted to binary using the threshold function.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i re-enable domain guessing instead of defaulting to search when using the address bar?

    In FF 3.6, I could type a website name without the .com, .org, etc, and FF would go to it. now, I get search results. for example, typing "mozilla" in the address bar would have pulled up mozilla.org. now, i get google search results.

    See [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]], the first section on "Showing the Navigation Toolbar" should solve your problem.

  • We randomly get the "specified Group is in use" error message when using the DIO Buffered Handshake In VI. How do we get rid of this?

    We're using the DIO Buffered handshake in VI (PCI 6503 Board) to read TTL pulses from a wavemeter. Sometimes we are able to collect data, but sometimes we get this error message: "specified Group is in use". No matter how long we wait between taking data, we sometimes (yet not always) get this message. We have one group of 2 ports that we're reading. Is there a way we can get rid of this problem?

    Hi,
    Are you running any example program or your own?
    1. This problem happens when you abnormally terminate the program, such as, by clicking on the abort button.
    Say first time you run the programd and it runs fine and then abort the program. In that case, the DIO group is not cleared and hence the subsequent runs give the error that you said.
    In such case I would suggest you to open the Device Reset.vi which is under Functions Pallete>>Data Acquisition>>Calibration and Configuration>>Device Reset.vi.
    On the front panel of the Device Reset.vi, enter the device number of your card and run the Device Reset.vi. If you get an error on the front panel, then run again so the error goes away. Now run you DIO program and it should run fine.
    The botto
    mline is, dont abort the program. If it has no functionality incorporated to stop it depending on some condition, then incorporate it.
    Please do let me know if my suggestion helped.
    Sincerely,

  • My drop-down bookmarks menu has vanished from the menu bar and I have no idea how to get it back. Help, please?

    I have no idea what I did, one minute I was browsing that particular menu, the next it was gone. I can still access the sidebar version and my bookmarks toolbar is still there, but the actual menu is gone. Closing and restarting Firefox hasn't worked, neither has restarting my computer. I would really appreciate any advice.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox.

    When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar option: When using the location bar suggest: to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox. I am using the latest vesion on Win8 on both computers. One has Bitdefender the othe McKafee. I have no obvious Addware, I use Iobit Uninstaller Advanced Care and and Driver manager on both computers. Until now I have always used Firefox as I refuse to use Explorer and I do not want to have to use Opera or another browser instead.
    Can you please help?

    Have you seen this general article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]?
    Also, this might be a glitch with using automatic private browsing mode. Some settings changes might not be saved in that mode.
    If all else fails, do you want to try a manual hack?
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) showing your current settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then open '''prefs.js''' in a text editor by right-clicking it and choosing Edit or Open With. (Double-clicking leads to Windows attempting to execute it, so I do not recommend that.)
    Paste this at the end of the file on its own line:
    user_pref("browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled", false);
    Then save the file and close your editor.
    Start Firefox back up again. Did the manual change work?

  • How do I get rid of the dropdown list history on the location bar? I have tried changing several settings and all I have done is mess up my ability to open ZIP downloads.

    I wanted to clear the drop down suggestions/history list on the location bar so I went to Tools/Options and tried changing several settings. I could not get the results I wanted. Suggestions?
    I did get one unwanted result -- or maybe just a coincidence. I received an email with attached pictures in a ZIP format and I could not get the download to open. Suggestions?

    Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing
