Adding a search engine toolbar

using firefox 11.0 on win 7 64 bit and cannot load a search engine toolbar. I did some research and found that I need to click on the search engine icon, but it is not one on my browser. I have not found another way to open the window "manage search engines". also frustrated that google has abandoned their search bar for firefox. thinking AVG load them would show up - it didn't. However, when I type a search string in my address bar, I get the avg search engine results.

@LongHawl, is the search box here, but the drop/icon-triangle is missing? I see two ways that the malware could have hidden button. The first would be if you have an add-on that was left. If you check

Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > Extensions

You will find all this useless or suspicious noise? If so, try to disable and restart Firefox to see if that helps.

The second would be to add a style rule in a settings file that may exist in your profile folder. If you open

Help > troubleshooting information

In the first section, you will find the button 'open containing folder '. Click that, and then double-click the chrome folder. If you see a file named userChrome.css, then we'd like to check that all the rules that affect the toolbars in the file. It is a text file, which you can open with Notepad or Wordpad or your favorite text editor. If you copy and paste the file here rules, we can take a look.

If there is no questionable Add-ons and no userChrome.css, then, hmmm, you might want to try resetting your toolbars in their default configuration. This article in the section "reset toolbars and controls" has the instructions: Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing. Troubleshooting | Firefox Help. (To avoid losing other customizations, do not check the other boxes.)

A little luck?

  • Adding a search engine creates a bookmark instead of an element in the search bar

    Hi all

    right click in a search field on (almost) any web page offers the possibility to add the search in the search bar.

    In FF4, however, this creates a bookmark rather than add entry than the engine in the search bar.

    Everyone knows the same problem?

    Thanks and respect,

    Talk you about the context menu item carry Add a keyword for this search...? It's for search bar location, using a keyword that you have defined in the properties of a bookmark (beyond the help of packaged keywords) that come with Firefox.

    In the search in the top right of my browser, I recently added Wikipedia and Wikivoyage as options, but the icons are not there. Instead, I have a blank white page instead of the icons. How can I fill them in?

    This also happens on my laptop which is a Macbook Air, so it's not limited to the Windows 7 version of Firefox.

    When there is no data icon in the XML file, then Firefox will be able to display such an icon.

  • How can I delete Y! the toolbar of the tab search engine?

    A Y! search engine on my tab toolbar too much of the tab.

    Thanks Ed, to try to answer my query. Earlier, however, I discovered the solution. I went into modules and suddenly noticed that I had never seen before. Don't remember its title - he had to come with an Upgrade to FLV Applians that I had downloaded recently. Indeed, whenever you open a new tab, where normally you get "subject: vacuum", he showed a Yahoo! Search window. So I deleted the add-on, restart Firefox and presto - the search engine Yahoo! incriminated (on the tab bar) disappeared and the new tabs are now blank.

    Thank you once again - problem solved!

  • How to get rid of Free Sound Recorder toolbar and search engine

    OpenOfficeOrg, Schirmfoto and YouTube Music Downloader are excellent freeware programs.  They do what I want.   But beware of the freeware in all.  My problem is with Free Sound Recorder.  It's something I wanted, and it's freeware, so I downloaded it.  I took care to uncheck both boxes before installation that would have included the Free Sound Recorder toolbar and search engine, but these unwanted extras have been installed in any case and appear at the top of every browser I use.  I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to uninstall the bar tools and search engine, but not good.  So I uninstalled Free Sound Recorder completely, but I still stunk toolbar and search engine.  Worse yet, the additional toolbar fattens the top of my browser and did some research in Facebook a lot harder.  I contacted the seller four or five times to help him remove their parasites, but I receive no answer.  I did not restore the system, and after three weeks, or so the clock is ticking as the system restore only so far back in time.  Thank you.

    Thank you.  Too bad FreeSoundRecorder didn't provide me with the link that you have done, but after having informed the I had filed a complaint against them to their State Attorney general's Office, I received a quick apology and instructions for disabling or removing their toolbar.  A toolbar add-on takes place at the top of your browser and, for me, doing research on Facebook very difficult.

  • Toolbar search box no longer displays the search engines with 34.0.5 update

    The 34.0.5 update just to make my life more difficult. Now I have to click on the drop down, select change settings of research, and then in another menu drop-down select which search engine, I want to use. It's so annoying and frustrating! Why programmers would make it harder for everyone? I mean, it's just makes no sense! Sometimes I wish I just that I could disable these ugly updates which do nothing but things break that went well. Is it possible to get the right search field to work effectively again? I just need a simple magnifying glass dropdown as it was before!

    You can restore the previous regime of the search like this bar.
