I'm using 5.0 on XP. Location bar is blank most of the time. I used to be able to copy location to paste as link into other documents - no more. Where'd the info go? Example: My home page is "Google.com." "http://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient-ff" used to display in the location bar if I clicked on the "home" icon. Now it goes to the page ok, but a faint prompr "Go to a Webpage" appears where the URL used to be. Now if I want to copy/ paste the link I have to find the page on Google Chrome and do it from there which requires extra steps. Did I inadvertently change an "option setting" or do something else to cause this?

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now

You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.
