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.
Above that I advise you to update your Firefox as soon as possible. Go to Help > About Mozilla Firefox

Kind regards, Tobbi Firefox Support Volunteer
