FF 5.0 is not showing the website/URL in the browser. I of course put what I am searching for in the Bing add-on, choose the site I want to go to. Site comes up just fine but the site address/website/URL does not show up in the browser.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Thanks - so I am NOT making changes in safe mode? I am not certain what to do then. And how would I know if one of the extensions is causing the problem? I looked at safe mode information, but would I not have to make changes in safe mode?

Not techie at all.

AND - I made no changes as of yet, and now the problem is intermittent. Sometimes I have the URL/website, sometimes not. Mostly it works now.

You initially do not make any changed by ticking a box on the safe mode start window.
Just click the button to "Continue in Safe Mode".

Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables all extensions and a few more settings like toolbar customization and hardware acceleration that allows to investigate issues caused by extensions.
