I just downloaded Firefox 4 and there isn't a location/navigation bar, just a search bar. So if I want to go to a website I can only type it into the google search bar rather than typing it in directly. what can i do?

Like I said above, there is no way of typing a web address into firefox 4 as it was downloaded, the only form you can type into is the google search bar. PLEASE somebody help me! All the help topics for location bar just tell you how to use it, not how to get it. Surely it should have just been there already, right???

To restore it, try the option to "Restore the default toolbar set" as shown here - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

If that does not work, try the option to "Reset toolbars and controls" in the same article.
