Why is my address bar no longer retaining past sites that I have visited?

My address bar used to save frequently used web addresses in a dropdown menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the very right of the address bar. Without warning, it now only retains the addresses I visit during a specific session. At the end of each session, the Dropdown memory is wiped clean. Why did this happen and how do I repair this huge inconvenience???

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies under ''Keep Until : select They Expire''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> If you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.

  • Why is my address bar no longer using "predictive" (don't know the proper term) text anymore?

    For example, if I type in a letter such as "f," in the address bar, why does it no longer bring up the options of websites that are saved in my history and bookmarks?
    == I'm not sure, but I think it happened after I chose my new skin.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks - See [[Smart Location Bar]]

  • Just updated to new Firefox - now when clicking on a website to visit the color of the print no longer changes to indicate that I have visited that site already. How can I get that feature again?

    Since updating to new firefox I have lost a very helpful tool. Before, when I clicked on a website to visit, the color of the print would change from blue to purple to indicate that I had visited that site. Now it does not do that so it is difficult to keep track of what sites I have visited and what sites I haven't when looking down the list of possible sites to visit.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Make sure that the History is enabled:

  • FF 3.6.6 :: Address Bar No Longer Works - Help?

    After updating Firefox to version 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP 3, the address bar no longer works for navigating to pages. When entering any URL and pressing enter, the page reloads with google.com (which is my homepage in FF). Clicking some bookmarks works. However, navigating from search results in Google does not. I have tried reinstalling. Also, I have tried to start up in Safe Mode. Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    == This happened ==

    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).
    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.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Address Bar no longer works

    The address bar no longer works when entering an address, or when selecting from recently visited sites, the only way I can visit a site is to use Google to find the URL and then click on it from the search results

    Hello dwarde_2000, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably '''caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one'''. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    thank you

  • In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    In the previous version of FF I could type a term in the address bar and it would auto open that website, now it just performs a google search. Is that a setting I can adjust or is it not available anymore?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # 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
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
    [http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

    Why isn't remember me working on sites that I have been using for years on my iPad but fine on my iPhone?
    Both have recently been updated with IOS7

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

    Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
    This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
    Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

They have a huge investment in it and would need to replace or discontinue a number of products that they paid quite a bit of money for.
    On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.

  • Updated to 10.4.5 and I get a long list of files that permisissions have ..

    Updated to 10.4.5 and I get a long list of files that permisissions have changed and the list remains each time I repair permissions, is there a way to get rid of this long list, is there a way to delete this log of permissions info. So that when I run Disk Utility only the latest issues are shown?
    Sebastian

    See this post;
    Cheers!
    DALE
    p.s. There is no way to change the way it does permissions as far as I know from following the topic here.

  • Why is my address book no longer being automatically updated with new entries?

  • When I send a group email why does the address bar not present the names alphabetically?

    I frequently send emails to groups.  Sometimes, for one reason or another, I want to delete one or more contacts from the list that appears in the address bar.  Why does the list not  appear in alphabetical order and is there any way that I can edit my contact lists to make it do so? It means picking through a list one by one rather than scrolling down a list to find a contact in the correct order. 

    Basically I suggest you keep using Eudora.
    Like most of those moving now, they are unlikely to be happy with anything else. But then that is to be expected, you have clung to abondonware for 5+ years after it's replacement. People that dedicated are unlikely to be happy with anything else.
    The Business standard and professionalism are not based on the Eudora way of things. I suggest you stick undisclosed-recipients: into a google search box and get instructions on how to do things for all the major mail clients.
    Of note Thunderbird displays nothing in the To field, even though the undisclosed-recipients: is inserted in the outgoing mail.
    <blockquote>
    I have tried using Bcc, and indeed, the recipients are suppressed, but not as a group. I have to change every recipient address from To: to Bcc: manually.
    </blockquote>
    Perhaps if you use the buttons at the bottom of the contact pane to add the list to BCC you would not have to manually change anything. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email#w_selecting-the-entries-from-the-contact-pane
    I am interested however how when you added a list so it appears on multiple lines. All I see is he list name until after I press the send button and look at it in the sent folder.
    Most people use another address entirely in the to:, in conjunction with the BCC list. It verifies the list mail is sent by coming back and you can put whatever you like in the display name of the email address.
