Stop installing retarded toolbars and you won’t have so much trouble with your regular ones. Are you so blind you can’t see them for the useless spyware they are?

That’s why it’s an option. This way, people who don’t care that your website sucks are none the wiser anyway.

Can you please tell me how I can get my fire fox address back? The only thing I have is the google search bar and the Y search bar. But the main address bar that goes at the fire top I don’t have. I have been putting up with this for over a year and I am tired of it. I am needing help please. I have unistall fire fox and reinstall it. I still don’t have and address bar at the top.
Thank you!

I tried this, and even restarted the computer. Still doesn’t work. How can I ensure that the location bar remains on the Firefox homepage in Vista? Thanks.

That sucks. As a web designer I have good reason to want to hide this annoying URL. Why do the 99% of valid website creators always get screwed over because of the <1% troublemakers?

open ur firfox and type about:config in ur location or addressbar. Change dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to false. now try to access ur page say http://national.com.au then click â€œGoâ€ in the top right hand corner which brings up a popup to log in to internet banking. Now see the difference there is no location box in the popup window

I’ve downloaded the latest version and the dom.disable_window_open_feature.location parameter is by default on “true”. Is this normal? cause im trying to remove it from a page on my website, thx.

I can’t find how to find my Location Bar, I have two google search bars.

Note: Havvy isn’t my last name.

Anyways, that function should be turned by default, no? I do know that Internet Explorer also lets that address bar being seen. So, a rare 1-UP over Mozilla from Microsoft.

Great find none-the-less.

Additionally, could you add the following line to your css please?

img.wp-smiley {padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}

It’ll make smileys look far better ;)

Ah, it seems that because I’ve moved the location bar to the menubar (alongside File, Edit, etc.) that I need to toggle dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar too – thanks for the tip! :)

Cameron it works for me: http://www.mozillalinks.org/images/locbarblocktest.png

I didn’t need to restart, but guess it wouldn’t hurt you try.

Have you got a webpage where I can test it out? It doesn’t seem to work on my bank’s website – http://national.com.au – then click “Go” in the top right hand corner which brings up a popup to log in to internet banking.
