I'm on centOs 7 and when I type anything (URL or google search) in the URL or search bar, and then hit enter, nothing happens and I remain on the same page. This is basically preventing me from browsing. I've tried restarting firefox without modules but it didn't work out for me.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player or remove it using these links; Uninstall Flash Player | Windows {web link} Uninstall Flash Player | Mac {web link}

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 32.0.0.101

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

This can possibly happen when all suggestions for the location bar are disabled. If you have done this then try to enable at least one like Open Tabs to see if that has effect.

You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
