I can't see the URL for site I am on; instead I have search engines I can select, and type subject to search.

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I use Firefox v3.6.3 I don't recall when this happened, or what I could have done to cause it. In the area at the top of the FF window, where the URL is displayed, I have two fields. A small one that is labelled "mozilla.com" with a drop-down menu to the right of it. If I click on the drop down I see a list of websites and their URLs. This may be places I have been, but definitly isn't the most recent sites I have visited. Then to the right of that, taking up more than half of the width of the page is a filed where I can type something to search. There is also a drop down menu at the left end of the field, where I can select what Search Engine I want to use. I can manage that list - add or delete search engines. I prefer to use the standard search window, and be able to see the URL of what ever page I am at. Help!!!

Try to place the mouse between the small location bar and the large search bar. The mouse pointer should change to a resize pointer that you can drag to the right by pressing the left mouse button to make the location bar wider.
