Url used to show in the url box when opening from a shortcut or email, but now it's not there. If I refresh the page it is. How do I get this back the way I like it?
The url of the website that I'm visiting used to show in the url box when I opened from a shortcut or email. But not it's not there unless I refresh the page. I've looked and haven't found a way to set this so that it works like it used to. I liked being able to click in the address bar and copy the link, or even to look there and see where I am.

Hi,
Please check if this repeats in Safe Mode.

I'm unable to check it in safe mode because the only time it happens is when I click a link and have not firefox open. For example if I would click a link in my email right now, it would open in another tab and show the address of the link I clicked. But if I didn't not have this window open and clicked alink, it would open a new window and I wouldn't be able to see the url.
Here's a screen shot. firefoxSSForAddressProblem.jpg
Please try this: Exit Firefox and start the Safe Mode procedure. In the first screen, select (tick) Disable all add-ons and then Make Changes and Restart. This disables all the installed add-ons in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, Extensions (on the left) which you can enable later. This doesn't disable the installed Plugins (on the left). Exit Firefox again and click the link in the mail client.
It shows now with all addons disabled! Thank you. Now I just need to go through my addons one by one and figure out which one is doing it. Thanks so much for your help.

The add-on that is the culprit was my FoxLingo 2.7.2 addon. When I turned it back on, the address bar stopped showing the address, and shows only "Got to a Web Site".
TY again :o)
