Has your browser got you down? Are you sick of wrestling with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or whatever program you use to access the Web?
If all of your life's problems stem from browser annoyances, I probably can't help you--but I can give you some quick and easy fixes for common browser issues. Here's how to find a missing URL bar, sync your bookmarks across multiple devices, keep your passwords handy and secure, and save seemingly unsavable images.
Find a Missing URL Bar (or Other Toolbars)
Maybe you clicked a bunch of things you shouldn't have, or maybe your cat jumped on your keyboard, because now you can't seem to find your URL bar.
In Internet Explorer, right-click any toolbar and check Address bar. If you're using Internet Explorer 9, you'll always see the address/search bar, but older versions of IE have the option of hiding it.
In Firefox, go to View, Toolbars and check Navigation Toolbar. You can also right-click any toolbars you do see, and check Navigation Toolbar in the drop-down menu.
In Safari, hold down the Command (Ctrl if you're on Windows) button, the Shift button, and the Backslash (\) button. The URL bar will reappear.
