Address-home page/search bar will not save

Hi people!

I tried to change my homepage and my search from the address bar of the SmartPage, but whenever I restart Firefox, won't save the settings and I'm back to my old home page. I have tried several strategies:

(1) I first tried to set the home page under 'Options', but would not save the homepage.

(2) I then tried to change under "subject: config ' and changing the lines"browser.startup.homepage"both"keyword.url ". The changes worked for this session, but restart Firefox would return lines to their previous settings

(3) I then tried to directly edit the lines "browser.startup.homepage" & "keyword.url" from the prefs.js file and resave. Once Firefox is closed, however, the prefs.js file would go back.

(4) I then tried to change the file prefs.js with the new settings, save on my desktop and after closing Firefox, replace the prefs.js file in the Mozilla folder with that on the desktop. The strange thing was when I copy & paste the file prefs.js Office to the Mozilla folder and opened then the file was rewritten for the old settings, even if the file on the desktop still had the new settings.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

After last post of cor - el, check the settings for the "Advanced SystemCare surf Protection" extension. You can open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Search for an Options button configure what he done, or turn it off.

  • When the browser window content Cup (was too small for the page) scroll bar will not scroll content cropped.

    Hey everybody,

    I have a new problem with Muse. It's my first Muse site, all my previous web work was HTML CSS, but I'm trying to learn the programs. However, I have a weird problem with my page... When the browser is too small - aka the window displaying the site is cropping some content, the scroll bar appears, but it won't scroll... I don't understand why. It seems to be the case in all browsers. Similarly, on some computers my footer is missing or invisible, not sure why, but on my computer I don't have the problem in all browsers (firefox, chrome, safari). Any advice?

    www.DanielleFeliciano.com

    In addition, in site properties that I have the minimum height, the value to show the entire page, don't know what is happening. I also noticed, the scroll bar appears when the page is cut off, it will not simply scroll...

    Looks like you have your content made the fallen on the homepage... or on a layer that is pinned. Probably the header layer.

  • Search bar does not work.

    I am running FF25.0.1 on Windows 7, but I had this problem for several versions, do not remember when he started. The search bar does not work with any engine, I can type and the cursor flashes but it does not research when I hit enter or use the search button.

    I tried:
    -clean the uninstall/reinstall firefox
    -create a profile
    -in the course of running as an administrator
    -test in safe mode
    -suppression of research and searchmetadata.json, formhistory.sqlite, etc..
    -removal of the plugins to search then by reinstalling ff to generate news
    -use the searchreset addon

    After some of them, the search bar will work only once to help enter or the button before returning to the uselessness.

    I'm more or less certain that I don't have a malicious software. I do not use the address bar to search because it is a little more complicated to use terms, including the slashes or openings of the diaphragm, and put except that I do not have the functions which do not hang out.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • The firefox search bar does not work and when trying to manage search firefox engine crashes and I have to force to leave.

    My search bar does not work. I can enter text and the work of AutoFill, but when I hit enter or click the magnifying glass, nothing happens. (The address bar works). I can't change the search engine of google for other engines by default, but they are looking for either. When I open "Manage search engines" menu opens and I can make changes, but then he won't and I leave firefox to get the strength to normal navigation. It drives me crazy, please help! I tried to restart the search engine, my computer, changed such parameters suggested by other pages, but nothing helped. (Safari search bar works, but I don't use Safari, so I would really like to understand how to solve this problem).

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is two weeks.

    I had this same problem. Couldn't Google to search in weeks bar. Drove me crazy.

    Does what you has proposed and made a new profile, but simply copied to a file or folder at a time in the new profile in the Finder and started the profile to test to see if it worked or not for Google.

    It came down to formhistory.sqlite. The second I put that in Trial, the Google bar stopped working. Found out it just saves your form history and past Google searches, so I'm ok with starting over on that. I'll just have to enter my address one more time on the next form I fill out.
    

    I tried just compensation history form and search in Firefox, but that does not solve, so I went ahead and made another new profile and replaced the formhistory.sqlite from this profile file my trial period. It worked, then I did the same thing with 'default '.

    Problem. Solved.

  • Settings of the mouse from Logitech G5 will not save.

    I have Win 7 Prof X 64. I worked with Logitech support now for almost 3 months on why my setting of the G5 mouse will not save after a reboot. They had load me 5 different versions of the set point and to make all systems that they thought the change. They even sent me a new mouse G500, which has the same problem. After a reboot, I have to open the set point and close it, make no changes, and all my settings to start working. Set point is in my Start menu & KHALMNPR file is set to no load.

    I have loaded the same software on my laptop, Win 7 Home Premium, and it works fine. It tells me that there must be a setting in Windows 7. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you

    Hello

    You are able to save the setting for another application or a program?
    Step 1: Try changing the setting in safe mode, and then restart your computer in safe mode again to check if the setting is saved.
    If the settings are saved in safe mode, then try to perform the clean boot.
    Step 2: You can try to create a new user account and check if the problem persists there.
     
    If it works in a new user account, then you will need to fix the corrupted user profile. You can visit this link for the steps:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
     
    Step 3: You can also check if the problem persists on the other computer and send back the same.
