Location bar does not display current URL.
I am running Firefox 3.0.5. My location bar does not show the url of the site i am on. In a new session, it is blank, even though my homepage comes up. Shouldn't the location of my homepage be there? If i type a url into it, whatever i typed stays there - even if i go to a new tab, or click on a link and go to a new page, or click a bookmark to visit a new page. It is very frustrating to not know the url of the page I am on. I can't copy and paste links, because I don't know the address! What setting has caused this?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I also have no star icon or rss icon in the location bar. I'm not sure if these items are related or not.... -
Inappropriate?Sometimes an extension can cause that. Try running Firefox in it's own safe mode to confirm if that no longer happens, then go through your extensions disabling them till you find the culprit.

Inappropriate?Is this very similar to the problems described in this thread: Firefox 3 new tab address bar?

Inappropriate?The problem with the URL not displaying in FF 3.0.5 happens when you install the FastDial extension version 2.15. Disable that extension and the URL display turns back on.

Inappropriate?Follow-up: FastDial released 2.16 version that has corrected the URL display problem in FireFox. You can install this version and enable FastDial once again.

Inappropriate?I don't have FastDial installed. My only extension is Roboform.
The problem is so severe now that whenever i open a new tab using a link, the url displayed is the one for the previous tab.1 Comment Add a comment

So disable RoboForm and see what happens. -
Inappropriate?Well poke my gooky neb!
I went to disable Roborm, as suggested, and found that Yahoo had once more installed itself on the browser as an add-on. Once this has been uninstalled everything was hunky dory.
Yahoo falls into that group of insidious software along with aol, that worms its way into every aspect of computing experience.
Thanks for the pointer.
I’m thankful
