• Cannot change the Google search bar

  In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

  Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

  I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

  Safari 9.0.2 (11601.3.9)

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

  Mac Mini (late 2014)

  the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

• Cannot change the Google search criteria in Safari

  I have a MB Pro OS X El Capitan 10.11.12 running version 2015.  My default search engine is Google.  After the recent update, whenever I'm looking for something in the Apple search bar in Safari, it will bring me to the page of Google results as usual, but if I want to change the search criteria in the search bar (not the Apple search bar), it won't let me.  It won't delete, add, or change the search criteria in the Google search bar in the Web page.

  I tried Yahoo and Bing and both work very well.  I also tried Google on Firefox and it works fine too, there must be something with Safari.

  Any suggestions?  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Ugh! I just figured this out, the simplest thing too.

  There is a dialog box on the google page saying something like "Download Google Chrome" and you can click on the x to close that.  Once you do this, the search bar can be changed again.

• Since Firefox v34, after Zoom text on a Google search page took me, the Google search page is empty after you click 'Back' to it. What is a v34 glitch?

  Since Firefox v34, search results page is empty, 1) by clicking a link in a Google search results page and loading of the linked page, 2) Zoom on the text on the page that Google took me and then without resetting the zoom text, 3) by clicking on the arrow of Firefox 'Back' to return to Google search results. If at that time I reload the page of Google results, or click back one page and will transmit then again, the full search results will be displayed then again.

  This happens on my Windows 7 PC as well as my Vista laptop. Is it a glitch with text zoom and Google in Firefox version 34?

  Sorry, this seems to be a problem with the cache in memory of Firefox: when you use a high Google zoom level the (the default setting) with "instant prediction results" then Firefox pips showing again after going back page (you can see the results for a fraction of a second before they white).

  Assuming you like your zoom level and enjoy using the instant prediction results, then the solution is to disable the part of the Firefox cached in memory by changing a setting under the covers.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers and change the value from-1 to 0 (that's a zero).

  (Please change not all other parameters similar to 0-sounding or you can disable the ability of Firefox to save/restore your tabs and windows open).

  Then reload the page of Google results and the test.

  Fixed? (Or should I say, worked around?)

• How to change the Google search engine to any other?

  Please someone respond and oblige.

  Hello

  Thank you for the support.

• Firefox crashes when you use the Google search

  BP-9a5cb747-1cc2-499E-816b-aff7a2141124

  When I try to search on Google, it will close automatically and it happened every day.

  Unfortunately, this accident involves your Norton software. Perhaps it checks links in Google results to see if they are trustworthy?

  Can you go to the Add-ons page and see if you can disable temporarily check links to see if that helps. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then locate the Norton Toolbar and a button for Options see if you can change the way it works. If all else fails, try turning it off for a few hours (Firefox can show a link to restart if necessary to disable the extension).

• How can I stop Firefox by logging into my gmail account whenever I go to the Google search page?

  I set Google as my homepage, so whenever I start FF it connects to one of my Gmail accounts. Always the least used too.
  I would prefer not to do that and hope that there is a solution.

  Make sure that the box remember connect you on the page Gmail is not a tick.

• Why the Google search page displays partially in Arabic or similar language with symbols

  Works fine in Chrome.

  JSCHER2000, thanks for your help. I tried the old "hl = en" thing. It did not work. Preferences were ok.

  I ended up going to https://accounts.google.com (not as easy to find on phone as it could be) just signed by e-mail and password. Which resets some strangeness that shows Arabic. For good measure, I checked the settings of language than English. Which resets some strangeness that shows Arabic. All is well in the world of google to firefox!

• Private Browsing not deprived of Google

  I have the "flash cookie Remover" installed. Recently, I rebooted my router, which gives me a new IP address. Then I opened Firefox in private browsing mode. "When I searched youtube for"replace radiator"he suggested the auto" jeep cherokee "(my car) and"honda civic"(my parents car occasionally I work on).

  Private browsing is not private! How can I protect myself to be identified uniquely by companies?

• I get the startup of Firefox with Google search page. How to bring back my home page?

  When I click on the icon for Mozilla Firefox, instead of my home page, I get a start with the Google search page. How can I get rid of the Starter page and retrieve my homepage?

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == Started a week ago and a half.

  Hello, Linda.

  I'm afraid that your problem may be deeper than your missing homepage, but you can easily change your homepage by going to tools > Options > general and entering the address in the field "Home Page".

  I must warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using right now is obsolete and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It is completely free, as always. You can get it via Firefox update service (help > check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

• When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

  When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

  Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

  On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

  You can open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.
