Firefox won't respond to changes in URL


Recommended Posts

So today I opened up Firefox and my homepage came up as normal. however, no URL was in the address box. I attempted to visit a site by typing its URL in the address box, but the site I was already on seemed to just refresh itself.

The only way I can visit websites is through setting their URLs as my homepage, or if I want to access Google, I can do that by typing a query into my search bar. I've run Ad-aware, and nothing seems to have changed. I'm gonna run a virus-scan now, but I don't think that'll help either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

goto C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAMEHERE\Applicationdata\Mozilla

and backup or delete the content. once firefox restarts it'll create a new profile automatically. but backup your plugins and bookmarks first.
