I was on vacation and since returning, the Safari browser home page looks different and most importantly, the text box at the top of the page where I'd type in the URL of a web site I want to go to is missing. (The text box is GONE.)

Hi William
try Safari - View - Show Toolbar, or View - Customize Toolbar & drag the items you require back into place.
williamfromnew berlin back again,
I was here earlier and used your suggestion. I checked that your answer was correct, only to find out later that it was only PARTIALLY correct.
I did what you suggested while the "support" address was in the address text box and now every time I open Safari it goes to the Support page instead of the normal Safari home page.
I've tried removing the "Support" text box and reinstalling the default text box to no avail. It always reverts to Support.
Now what?
Hi William
I'm guessing that it's not just that your 'home page' which opens with a new window, or when Safari starts, is wrong ? (if it is that, you can alter it in Safari - Preferences - General)
It sounds like some sort of add-on or extension has changed Safari (a screenshot would help, if you can)
Extensions can be disabled/selected in Safari - Preferences - Extensions
other add-ons can be in the folders listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230
If it's not an extension, and you can't find any other add-on - please post a screenshot if possible, and also test briefly in a New User Account, since that will tell us where to look
You can reset your home page preference (the page that Safari goes to automatically when it is first opened) fairly easily.
Open or go to the page you want as your auto home page (such as the Safari home page), then open Safari's Preferences (under Safari in the main menubar). Click "General" if it doesn't open to that page. In the middle of that page is the setting for home page - if you're looking at the one you want as that, just click the "Set to Current Page" button.
Why is text box at top of Safari missing?
