I can only see a small section of the text in the url bar, the rest is cut off.

Recently my url bar only displays the first handful of letters in my url. If I use the arrow keys I can see all the text is there, and hitting enter brings up the right page, so it's not cutting off the text, just the display. Approximately the first 15% of the url bar shows text, while the leftover bar is just grey. I'm currently on 16.0.2.

Hi,

You can try deselecting Use hardware acceleration when possible in Tools (Alt + T) >Options > Advanced > General and restart Firefox - a quick way to restart Firefox is to press Shift + F2, type restart and Enter.

If the problem persists you can also Reset Firefox and check.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

The problem is the same as the one in cor-el's linked question. However, I've found that re-enabling the Authen-tec add-on and restarting firefox solves the problem. It's just when I have it disabled that the address bar does the weird truncation.
