23.01 Firefox resolve an incomplete url as previous versions

Before I was allowed to make an update of Firefox, I used to be able to type "Key words" in the address bar, Firefox would find the appropriate site. (Example: mercury news, espn, wayne hyundai).

It is not to do that; immediately after the update, I was taken into a search engine. I came here to support Mozilla, discovered a few "plug-in" which supposedly addressed this, but WHO does not work either.

Anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do things to work as before (what I also is a response to "why try to fix things that are not panic broken!", but I don't think I'll get a satisfactory answer to that.) But I digress...)

Sorry Jeff, I do not have the options on the add-on screen. It allows you choose Browse by name.

The parameter use search for it by name function is not on the initial screen you get when you install the add-on. Instead, go here:

Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

Click the Options button to expand the search by keyword

Then towards the bottom of the pane, you can change the Google search by default to browse by name.

A little luck?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • How can I recover my favorites from the previous version of Firefox?

    I just loaded the new version of Firefox. My Favorites from the previous version have disappeared. How can I get back them? I went through the provided recovery method, nothing.

    Do you still have backups of bookmark in the bookmarkbackups folder?

    You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop in the case where you have refreshed Firefox and created a new profile?

    You can retrieve the form of the data of the 'Old Firefox Data' folder, but be careful.

    You can copy files like these in your current Firefox profile folder.

    • bookmarks/history: backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and perhaps places.sqlite, if you really need the history
    • other SQLite files cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
    • logins. JSON and signons3.txt (decryption key) of the saved passwords in password manager
    • Permissions.SQLite and, possibly, content - prefs.sqlite permissions and Site preferences
    • cert8. DB for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
    • sessionstore.js to open and pinned tabs and tab groups
    • Persdict.dat for the words that you added to the spelling dictionary

    Note that "Reset/Refresh" creates a new default profile with a time stamp to identify it and trying to retrieve settings such as Favorites and history and history and cookies and passwords, data of automatic filling of the old profile, but you lose data such as the installed extensions and other customizations.
    The current profile folder will be moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

  • When entering URL, Firefox guard adding foreign URL at the beginning

    Well, it's happened in the past, but now it happens constantly until there are Web sites, I can't access all.

    When I type a URL into Firefox and try to go to this Web site, Firefox keeps adding a quite different at the front of this URL so that I can not access the site. For example. I keep trying to go to http://nanowrimo.org. I type in the bar but when I hit enter Firefox happening in http://www.dell.comhttp//nanowrimo.org /.

    Of course that the site does not exist. Then, if by some miracle I get on the site I'm doing, if I hit refresh, or try to go to another page on the dell site that url appears at the beginning and I get the error server not found. I use no favorite. I type these things in hand. My Favorites are working without any problems. I tried to disable the fix which adds www to the front of the URL, but that had no effect.

    What is happening and how it stop?

    Hmm, really sounds like a problem to fix, but the preference of the prefix has its normal value of www?

    Sometimes inexplicable problems are caused by corrupted program files. For this we have a suggestion:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 42.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
