Where is a sites web address found, it mut be entered in the exceptions window under pop-up.

Tools-Options- pop-up- exceptions. Panel asks for web address. Where is it? Recent Firefox up grade removed the line from the top of the page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Keep getting a pop up at the top of many websites I visit 'firefox security error content at *web address* may not load" I am using the most recent firefox and windows 7.

Keep getting a pop up at the top of many websites I visit 'firefox security error content at *web address* may not load" I am using the most recent firefox and windows 7. This is happening at many sites, such as hotmail, google reader, and many others.

Sorry, I don't think that is a message from inside Firefox, the wording doesn't sound correct - at least the beginning of that message. My "gut" thinks that is a MSN Live message to explain and compensate for their lack of security with a re-direct from a secure domain to an un-secure domain. ''(the end of that message)''
{Ctrl + Shft + J} will open the Firefox Error Console - I'm curious what Firefox has to say about that situation. If you find the error message for that domain, you can right-click the message to '''copy''' it and then paste that error message here.
Maybe '''TonyE''' or '''cor-el''' will be more familiar with the situation at Live and maybe at Google Reader, I don't use either of those services and have never seen a message like that myself.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto) they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

When I open firefox, the web address ishows my chosen home page but the window shows "untitled" and I am unable to connect to any site to the internet.

I chose the New York Times site to be my home page and when I open Firefox this address appears in the web address panel. But in the tab box it says "untitled" and I don't connect to any web page. I have tried reloading firefox, nothing seems to work. How can I stop this?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Firefox doens't show a web address anymore and I can't use the back button (it's not click-able)

The back and forward buttons, the refresh and stop loading buttons are not available for me to click. I can see them, but they are completely gray and I can't click on them. Also, firefox doesn't have a web address in the box anymore. It is always blank, even after I type in a website and it goes there.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I want to know how to get the web addresses to go away that appear in the bottom left corner of the browser every time my mouse goes over a link

Any time that my mouse goes over a link on a web page a little box in the bottom left corner of the browser pops up showing the web address for that link and it is really annoying, especially when i am on facebook because there are so many links on the home page i cant move my mouse anywhere without that box popping up and blocking part of my conversations. I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off. I've checked through the options and to my knowledge there is no way to turn it off. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem or knew if there was a way to get that box to go away.

Another option would be to use the following extension to push those messages into the status bar. It could be a convenient way to have your messages visible when you want them, but with less distraction.

My Web address bar is missing, Unable to access the web

I am unable to type web addresses as the bar has disappeared

For details of how to restore missing items from the toolbars, see [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]].

When I click on a link from Google or type in a web address directly, invariably, Firefox tries to load the webpage and seems to hang.

However, when I click "stop" and then "reload" it almost always opens rights up to the webpage.
If I open IE and try the same webpage at the same time, it loads right away.
Any ideas?

The "exceptions" list under "Block Popup Windows" shows a whole series of sites as "blocked". What happens if I clear them all?

I assume this is a list of sites where Firefox has encountered popups and blocked them for me. Is there any reason to keep this list?

They are added by SpyBot's immunize function, not Firefox. You can safely clear them, but SpyBot will put them back the next time you tell it to immunize your system.

When I type in an address, half way through it switches down the Google window, then if I go back up to the address section, the whole thing becomes highlighted and erases what I have already typed. Very annoying.

The details are in the "question" above. It's really more like a statement.

I am not sure if the switch tab feature can be turned off. I did initially find it a minor irritation, but it does have the advantage if tabs scroll off screen that you are made aware of existing matching tabs, so I have come to see it as an improvement.
I have just tried with firefox4 to make sure and I am able to easily open multiple same tabs by for instance using '''Firefoxbutton -> history'''
There is along discussion thread in [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1977593&start=45 Mozilazine] about this feature and how it interacts with auto-fill.
You can of course use the (windows) '''right click option''' from links on a webpage to open other related pages in a new tab.
Also from the search bar or the location bar '''Alt + Enter''' will open that address in a new tab. And''' Control and drag''' with mouse on the tab will duplicate it.

I want to block images only on Facebook, but when I add it as a blocked site to the exceptions window, no effect! Why not?

Adding most any other site as an exception to be blocked works for that site, but this procedure will not work with Facebook...may I have some help on this issue??

To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

Suddenly the bottom part of the browser window, under the slide bar, has vanished. I can't see where it says Done, or a website name or all the icons on the right side

The window just ends right below the slide bar. I tried closing the window and reopening it, even restarting the computer, but it didn't fix it. At first I thought the window was too big, so I tried resizing it, but it didn't work.

You have out-of-date plugins with known security issues. You need to update them.
* Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.5
**Very old version. Probably best to uninstall before installing new version. Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click "Adobe Shockwave Player 8.5", click Remove. Then install current version.
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21 for Mozilla browsers (new security update released 10-12-2010)

My old Firefox used to show web addresses at the top near the toolbars, how do I bring that feature back where I can type in a website address?

My old Firefox used to show the website being visited and one could type in a website to change to another website. The new Firefox does not have this feature. How do I change my new Firefox so that I can type in a web address. This used to be at the top of the page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
