    Hey all, and Happy Holidays to everyone! :)

    I must have hit some kind of setting by accident, and I can't believe that I am unable to figure this out on my own, but as you, my fellow Firefox lovers know, there is a pulldown menu, along with a small search field on the right, and the larger field where you put the URL of the website you want to go to.

    It is GONE. I have ONLY one long bar with the search engine field with Google as default. So every time I put something in the URL field, it does a Google search. Arghh...

    I am overlooking a small thing, I know that. Can someone please help me with this?

    Thank you!

    right click on the navigation bar and select customize or
    click view>toolbars>customize
    find the location bar in the palette that opens up and drag it to the original position on the navigation bar.

    Thank you, fellow Southern Californian! :) I had actually looked in there, but that's where I remember messing around to get it ******* up in the first place. lol...

    Thanks again! :)

    Edit: Do you use Firefox 3.1 Beta 2, or FF 3.0.5?? If so, how do you like 3.1 vs. 3.0?

    I have both 3.0.5 and 3.1 beta 1(mainly because I use the portable versions, and until yesterday, there was no 3.1.beta 2 available. I like 3.1, but it is compatible with only a couple of add-ons. May be that's why it is so fast.
