Address bar search does not correctly

This road after FF4 update.

Example-

"Yahoo email" by typing in the address bar got right email in the yahoo page.

Now, after update, type 'yahoo email' in the address bar search in a regular google results, and I have to click on the link yahoo email.

Prior to 4.0, type "imdb" in the address bar, and imdb.com opens right.

Now type "imdb" in the address bar and regular search instead, just click on the imdb link.

All specific keywords specific research that directly match a pre-existing url (IMDb for IMDb.com, Yahoo News to news.yahoo.com, Volokh for volokh.com, etc.) no longer go directly on the site, but the result in a regular google search with results, requiring that extra click on the link.

Glitch? Can it be fixed by buttons on: config?

  • Address bar search does not work

    When I type keywords in the address bar, it is used to return a list of google search results. He returns now, "the address is not valid. I know that I can use the search bar of google search, but the ability to search for keywords directly from the address bar is my favorite number one of Firefox and I want to.

    The problem started after I got the keyword. URL parameter in topic: default config after malicious editing on some Russian site search/spam, which also added a bunch of unnecessary links to my bookmarks bar. This is the second time that this happens, no idea how, but the first time that I fixed it the address bar search began working again immediately.

    I have not installed any new plugins or addons recently.

    I checked that keyword.enabled is set to true, and the keyword. URL is empty, what are the default settings. Are there other settings that might have been changed/what I should change to make it work again?

    You can try this add-on to see if it cures it: SearchReset

    If this isn't the case, you could use this keyword. URL, which seems to be the default in Firefox 14 (just, based on what I receive under a search):

  • location bar search does not properly

    Hello. I use FF 10.0.2 the address bar does not work correctly. two questions:

    1. When I type in the loc bar, I get a list of suggested sites, but when I select one, rather than open the page it just doesn't insert the http address in the search bar. Then I need to click on the arrow to go to the web site. Links selected in the search used to automatically open bar.
    2. smart key does not work. I have a few pages bookmarked that I have assigned a keyword. Unfortunately, when I type the keyword in the search and then bar press enter nothing happens. I need to type the keyword and then click the arrow for the keyword work. Until I upgraded to FF 10.0.2 would have opened the relevant Web page after typing the keyword in the search bar and pressing on enter without extra clicking.

  • Awesome Bar search does not properly

    When I try to search in the bar of the chamois, instead of search with Ixquick (I put: config), it searches the currently active engine in the search bar. I have Firefox Portable 23.0 (by PortableApps.com) and run it on Windows 8.

  • Search bar default changes setting address bar search

    In the past, I usually kept my search bar on IMDb, since I use that a lot, but I do Google search even more often, so I just type Google search terms into the address bar and hit < Enter >, which has always worked well. It was like having two bars at once, research which was totally awesome. However, having just "updated" Firefox about an hour ago, it now appears that selection of search from the address bar is now linked to the selection of the search bar. When I do a search with the address bar, search that results will invariably to whatever the choice lies in the search bar. I tried to go to topic: config and "reset" the setting of the browser.default.enginename, but he instantly changes to change the setting of the search bar. Please separate the address bar and the search bar back to the way they were before. It is extremely annoying.

    Additional information:

    I just drove my computer where I'm headed back with Firefox 22.0 and immediately corrected behavior itself, which only confirms that there is a problem with the update to the worm 23.0, so I guess I'm stuck 22.0 for now. I also see in the 'What's New' notes for worm 23.0 that ' users can now switch to a new provider of research through the browser everything. " It would be nice if the change apply to 'the whole browser' was optional.

  • My address bar search has changed and it's really annoying.

    Hello.
    Today, my firefox has changed something in the address bar search system.
    Now the first link it provides is for "popular sites" or your partners no idea but it's boring as hell.
    He destroyed all my combinations of site search...
    When I wrote normally shortcuts like 'pwn' 'kol' 'da' for my sites now the first link provided to ask me "want to pwn/kol/da search in google? Dailymotion? »
    No ffs I don't want that. If I wanted to, I would use the search bar.
    I tried to fix it but can't find it in the normal options and won't play with the config of my own.
    Where I can it turn off? I can't stand it.

    You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion to visit the location bar page menu drop-down.
    Note that the sound is not really new, but it has now enabled by default in Firefox 43.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 and now edit/search does not work.

    The Question above about nearly everything.

    I downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 (I'll never learn) and now edit/search does not work. The search at the bottom of my screen bar disappeared and clicking on EDIT and SEARCH does nothing. Also, Ctl - F does nothing.

    FYI, using Windows 8.1.

    Someone actually check the compatibility with desktop computers and laptops on the news, or is it more important to be compatible with smart phones?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Try to rename (or delete) the file xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • HP 8600: HP 8600 does not correct tray

    Hello. I'm having trouble with my HP 8600 is not pulling from the correct tray. This is a recent problem that everything was working properly until a few days ago. I have an accessory to two tray with tray #1 used for special dimensions (photos and envelopes) and standard #2 to 8.5X11paper tray.  I have the default to tray #2 and locked bin #1 in my settings (#1 on the top tray, tray # 2 down). However, when I send a print job for normal letter format, he tries to send the job to use the Tray #1. I can get around this by changing the trays, but it is a real pain and much slower. I checked all software and firmware is up to date. I hope someone has a solution for this problem.

    Hi @Desertboy,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I have seen your post on how your printer HP Officejet pro 8600 does not correct status bar. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    Follow these steps to change the print settings by default for all printing from the desktop of Windows 8.

    1. Right click or touch and hold the bottom left of the screen to open the menu. In the menu, click or tap on the Control Panel, then click on or type printers and display devices.

    2. Right click or tap and hold the icon of the printer () for your printer, and then click or tap Print Preferences.

    3. Select your new default print settings, and then click or tap on OK.

    Source: change of print settings (Windows 8).

    I would use these settings to set the default to tray 2 for plain paper. So if you want to print to Tray 1, you can change the settings manually. Or, you can add the same printer again in the devices Panel and printers and together this is the default for Tray 1 for specialty paper and rename it to 8600 (Tray 1) as an example.

  • Vista search does not work

    No matter what I do, I can't find Vista to work - most of the time, the search will not find the files I'm looking for, although I can see them at the top of the list of files in the directory. I rebuilt the index multiple times with no improvement in the service. In another case, the search will find only files created in October 2009 (that is when I started using Vista), but specific searches do not work in other files, that I moved all the files in this folder to another folder and the result is the same, even if the file is renamed to something different. I also noticed that, in some cases, research fails to recognize a file named re and get back a result if I search the name of the original file (even if the file name has changed significantly).

    Simply, research of simple file names which I am accustomed to years of XP do not bring the results I need. I have same useless content search function at all. It was recommended that I find a simple program of research of third party for searches of files, but that's not really answering the question.

    I guess I would rather just turn the indexing function OFF set (that I tried), but it does not appear to improve the ability of Vista to find the files I need.
