The address in the URL-bar doesn't update after clicking some links. Why?
Hello,
first: thanks a lot for this great Browser!
My Firefox-Version:
6.0.2 on Windows XP
My Problem: Since a few weeks (I think since Version 6.x) I experience this problem. When I click on a link, normally the URL-bar gets updated and shows the address of the new (the current) website. This doesn´t work now - for some links!
Example: Surf to times.com. Then click on an article-link (for example this one: "Opinion » Op-Ed: Germany’s Mediterranean Envy ). The link (the new website) opens in the same tab. But in the URL-bar I still see just "times.com". I even don't see "http://" infront of it. And very important to me: I don't see the complete URL of the article - which should be "http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/opinion/germanys-love-for-greece.html?hp". That causes many problems with my work. :-/
Please help. Thank you!

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable the highlighting of the domain and see the full URL more clearly.
You can set the pref browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false on the about:config page to see the protocol (e.g. http or https).
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
- Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
Hello,
the formatting of the URLs or the display of the protocol isn´t the matter here. Because normally I see all this information displayed in the URL bar. It´s that just sometime (quite often) - on some websites or just some occasions this informations isn´t updated after entering a new link.
Thanks for your answer but in this case it doesn't help.
I think I experiene a bug here. Maybe it depends on the extensions/plugins which I have installed....
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
