the icon to click on the url bar is gone and cant search

Is the address bar missing completely or does your enter key not begin the search for you?

Firefox 3.5.8 is an old unsupported version that is 11 updates behind the final 3.5.19 version that was released on April 20, 2011 when support ended.

the address bar is visible with other icons but not the one to click to get to the webpage. at least this time after a couple of crashes is long instead of short. i do have a lot of add ons which takes a bit to load and this time the java script did not come up for i did remove one of the add ons

it brought me to the page for firefox 5 i hope downloading it wont cause to many problems
