Where is the location bar?
The location bar keeps disappearing from my Mozilla Firefox - version 4.0 . I've recreated the address bar 4 times and it keeps going away every couple of days. Windows 7 - on a laptop.
Sounds like a problem with the file localstore.rdf

Where is the location bar item list stored?
Upon typing URLs in the location bar a drop down item list will appear.
Is there somewhere in firefox where this list of items is stored?
If so, is that in a format I can go through and see each item?
Thank youIt worked.
Thank you very much the-edmeister.
Some details:
- Add-on installed: SQLite Manager 0.7.7
- From SQLite Manager you need to open the places.sqlite and it is stored under
[DRIVE]:\[users]\[pc user]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[one of the profile]\
on Windows 7(64bit).
- On the left side of SQLite Manager program main window there is a tree structure of tables, Views, Indexes etc. You need to go to under Tables and click on moz_places. On the center of the SQLIte program main window now you should see the table with its columns. The URL column is the right one. -
Case: When I go to Tools - Options - Privacy then Location Bar options, there should be another option to where we can disable auto-complete from the Location Bar without messing with other settings. Example #1: I click "Nothing" and then I gotta type in the website I wanna go to every single time. Example #2: I click "History & Bookmarks" and then it auto-completes. Is there any other option just to disable Auto-Complete all together??
Is inline autocomplete enabled?

In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.
That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

Simple as that. Given that I have OCD, it's extremely unpleasant to have both the forward and back buttons not consistently visible. How can I return to that appearance?
I also want to separate the reload button from the location bar, as I had it before the update. I find myself reloading pages quite often, and having the button be smaller, and within the location bar, is well... kinda counter-intuitive.
Ideally, I would like to have it ordered, from left to right: back, forward, reload, location bar.
Firefox has always been very customizable, and very user friendly. A few hiccups here and there, sure, but you can typically get what you want done, one way or another. So can you guys help me out? This is driving me crazy. I have installed Classic Theme Restorer, and it doesn't change that I can't currently do this.Hi Rose1, if you mean in the regular address bar of Firefox 29, the Forward button should appear after you have used Back.
If you mean in the Classic Theme Restorer, you first need to check the box for "Movable back-forward button" in its Options. Open the Add-on page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, then click the Options button for Classic Theme Restorer. On the "Main" tab, under General UI, you will find this option. As you check and uncheck, Firefox shows the result of the change, so you should see the arrows appear on the right end of the main toolbar.
After finishing with this dialog, you can use Customize to drag them where you want them.
Any luck? -
Where is the "Options Bar" in Essentials 11
Where is the Options Bar in Essentials 11 - so the size of the brushes etc can be located and used?
Also, when I use the Clone Stamp, there is a hovering mask-outline over the image - how do I get rid of this
mask?I have no idea of what you mean by needing to click on the green button. I was assuming you meant Photoshop Elements. I'm not sure what "Adobe Essentials" is, but for sure there is a tool options button on the bottom of the Photoshop Elements 11 window, whether it is maximized or not:
There is no layer mask in the clone stamp, so I'm afraid I have no idea of what you mean there, either. Do you mean you want to turn off the overlay that shows the area you're moving? Click the Clone Overlay button and turn off this checkbox, if that's what you mean:
If you are referring to Photoshop Elements 11, there are a number of books available, including one in the Dummies series. -
I want to change the operation of the location bar
I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and lost all the location bar settings that I implemented when Firefox 3 came out. I personally consider the 'awesome' bar to awesomely stupid.
A search system is supposed to narrow your results, not throw everything in the universe at you. If I type an 'a' in the bar, I should get useful results with words starting with 'a', not everything with the letter 'a' in it. I get tons of useless stupid results like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vantec-NexStar-NST-370GX-USB2-0-External-HD-Enclosure_W0QQitemZ170612527077QQcategoryZ158817QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D170609509665%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7966427859536039466
See anything starting with 'a' in that mess??? Why is it in my search results???
There used to be an article in the database that explained how all the urlbar settings and options in the config page work. Where can I find this info now????If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask if they can remove the balance so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Site loads ok, but no address bar, where i type in www.whatever.com. I have search button, but that's not what i want. I want to be able to go to any website i type in. What happened to the
address bar? Or is there something wrong at my end?Hello Bill Lyman,
please follow these steps to make the Location bar re-appear:
*Press the ''Alt'' key to make the menu bar appear temporarily.
*Now select View > Toolbars from the bar and check '''Navigation toolbar'''.

Where is the status bar in ver4? i want to see the padlock symbol when online shopping
''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/826629''
after installing the laterst firefox version 4, i was trying to find where to show the status bar usually at the bottom of the browser. can't seem to find in on any of menu settings.
this is the spot where users can see the padlock(security) symbol to know the site is secure, esp when online shopping or doing online bankingThe Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.<br />

[Help] Page changed, why did the location bar NOT show it ???
This tiny site:: http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl ，into the search bar i pasted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoICzQpVCeA And then clicked "get flv url" Button，and the page loaded as expected,and i got the address of the .flv file. Good,
But, the string in the location bar did not change，still http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl
Viewing the page source of http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl , I found::

<input type="text" name="q" [b]value=""[/b] size="80"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="get flv url" />
</form></div>
<div class="result">
<br />
then, just trying, I typed into the location bar:: http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl?url=http: … oICzQpVCeA
the newly loaded page was different than that of http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl, BUT,
it's not the result page，but looked just like the page of http://flv.appspot.com/flvurl with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoICzQpVCeA pasted into the search bar，and, with the "get flv url" Button NOT pressed yet.
Viewing the source of this page::

I can no longer access websites through the location bar (address bar).
A few days ago, my location bar (address bar) suddenly stopped working. When I typed in an address and clicked on Enter, nothing happened - and I mean nothing. The cursor at the end of what I had just typed into the location bar just sat there, blinking at me. Clicking on the arrow at the right end of the location bar didn’t work either. On the other hand, if I clicked on a link in a website or e-mail, I would be taken right to the website at the other end of the link. And when I clicked on a bookmark, I was taken to the bookmarked site. It is only when I type or paste something into the location bar that I am unable to reach the sought after website. Exiting and then re-entering Firefox did not help, nor did rebooting my computer. I was using version 6.0.2 at the time. I upgraded to version 7.0.1; that didn’t help either. Help!!!
That is a signature symptom of the "AVG Safe" extension in the Link Scanner component of AVG Free, but you don't have that extension on the computer you posted from, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
There is also these which you don't have either

Try disabling the Foxit PDF creator as it has an ask.com authorship signature.
If that doesn't work see if Firefox works in Safe Mode. If it does it is probably an extension problem.

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

For example, I had several tabs open in Firefox 4 just now. For no apparent reason, when I opened a fifth tab, I couldn't click on the location bar or type anything into it even with repeated attempts. I either have to start Firefox again or try going back to a tab that is already open with a page loaded and type into the location bar there. That worked for me to be able to get to this website. This is very frustrating and seriously hampering my ability to use Firefox--which I have previously always been impressed with. I have a 2 year old Dell Optiplex 755 running Windows Vista.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] -
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
