Why can't i click on bookmark tabs or address bar

My bookmarks toolbar is totally unresponsive. I can click on the bookmarked tabs, but nothing happens. My new tab option (the "+" sign to the right of the currently open tap) is also not responding. This has just started occurring today, 9/27/12, at about 12pm central time. I would like to get it resolved as it's quite annoying and makes my browser pretty much worthless.

Try running Firefox in safe-mode.
* Firefox -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled
If it works in safe-mode, that means one of your Add-on Extensions is causing the problem, which will require disabling them all, and then re-enabling them one by one to isolate the problem.

  • Why can't I see the URL in the address bar when I click on a hyperling, as opposed to typing in a URL? I send a lot of links, but if I can't copy and paste them from your address bar I'll have to abandon Firefox and use another browser.

    I just gave you the details. When I click on a hyperlink, the URL of the site/page is not in the address box at the top of the page.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    -> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''
    * Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled''' and click '''Toggle'''
    * The value is now set to '''False'''
    -> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''
    * Right click the preference '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' and click '''Toggle'''
    * The value is now set to '''False'''
    -> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Why can't I see the "http" on my address bar when I access a website anymore ?

    In previous version I can see the "http" when I access a website (ex: yahoo.com) Now I can't see it anymore. I want to see it on my address bar. How can I figure it out ?

    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' to '''false''' in '''about:config'''.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    To change this preference:<br>
    <br>
    type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.<br>
    if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)<br>
    Filter: browser.urlbar.trimURLs<br>
    in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false<br>

  • When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each

    when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty.  How can I get it to show each page again?

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,

  • I tried asking before, and the answer I got took me to place, but nothing was there. Basically, clicking my bookmark tab or the star as NO affect, and I cannot bookmark.

    Basically, clicking my bookmark tab or the star as NO affect, and I cannot bookmark. I am about ready to just ditch firefox all together. Can someone help? I want to keep it, cuz it's the fastest, but I want my normal funcitons to work, or it's pointless.

    There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox: <br />
    1. {Ctrl + D} <br />
    2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page. <br />
    3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page <br />
    4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar. <br />
    4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.) <br />
    5. Letf-click and drag the website image ''(Favicon)'' in the URL bar (or on the active tab) into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks {Ctrl + B} <br />
    or to the Bookmarks menu bar item ''(the drop-down will open)'' and then onto the drop-down listing of your bookmarks and folder of bookmarks ''(folders will open)''<br />
    or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar - the new bookmark will be saved when you release the left mouse button

  • Why can't I see the carrier tab in my settings?

    Why can't I see the carrier tab in my settings? This iphone5 was bought in india where the phones are NOT locked

    No, that just shows the carrier. I am looking for the setting>general>carrier tab from where you can select the carrier you want to connect to either automatically or manually. The previous iPhone 5 had it, Apple exchanged the set as it had a hardware problem and it's missing from the new set. Want to get it back

    Why can't I click on iCloud or my email accounts on my iPhone to change my aol password?

    hello, does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    in case the problem is still occurring, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] or [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (since a mere reinstall won't help in most situations).

  • Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

    Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

    OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

  • I need to export my bookmarks to Safari. I can't find the "Organize bookmarks" tab that has the export feature. Help?

    I was trying to export my bookmarks to Safari and the instructions were to: Go to Bookmarks - select "Organize bookmarks" and "export to HTML". I can't find the "Organize bookmarks" tab on my tabs bar.
    This came about because Firefox would not let me access my On Star account (kept getting error messages about a mis-direct).

    Menu changes (wording), "Organize Bookmarks" under the Bookmarks menu has been changed to "Show All Bookmarks -- Ctrl+Shift+B" with the same keyboard shortcut. They didn't like the new wording either and it is expected to be changed in a later version (but no further changes seen yet in betas).
    I always use the keyboard shortcuts anyway.

    You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

  • I have downloaded the ebooks, but why can't i click it open?

    I have downloaded the ebooks, but why can't i click it open?

    What do you mean, 'downloaded'? Take pictures where? Are you saying that you have an iPhone or iPad and you don't have enough memory for any more pictures? Adding the 10GB won't have any effect - it's extra space on the iCloud server for Documents, email, Contacts, Calendars and iPhone backup. You can't increase the memory on an iPad or iPhone by any means. If this isn't your issue please clarify what you mean.

  • Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?

    Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?  When signing up for iCloud I'm asked to choose an email address [email protected]  I am already using an @me address via moblileme.  When i input that address it states that that address is already taken.  Try picking a new one.  I don't want a new one I want to use my mobileme address.  How can that be done?

    It appears you set up a new iCloud account rather than migrating your MobileMe account over to iCloud.  I migrated everything over this morning and am still using my old MobileMe email address.
    Check to see if you can migrate rather than open a new account.

  • I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

    I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

    *'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
    1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
    2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
    3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
    4. you're done :)
    Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

  • How can i set the book marks below the address bar like IE9

    Dear Sir, I am a new user for firefox, now i am using firefox 4.0 beta version. In this how can is place book marks in below the address bar like IE8 OR IE9

    In Firefox 4 you can press F10 or use "Firefox > Customize" to make the Menu Bar and other toolbars visible and remove the check-mark on "Tabs on Top" to place the tab bar in the old position.
    You only see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.
