Firefox should always display the URL of the current page, but by default will not show the http:// part of the URL. Is the problem that the Navigation Toolbar is missing completely, or that something other than the URL is displayed there. To make sure the bar is displayed, either: * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Navigation Toolbar * tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Navigation Toolbar ---- Toolbars occasionally become corrupted. You can reset the toolbars to their default setup as follows: Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button Switch back to Firefox and Exit Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old Restart Firefox. ---- Any luck?
