Address search engine bar continues to change at Wikipedia

I've always had the address bar to do a search on Google what I wrote there, with the real sarch bar used for Wikipedia, but for some time already the address bar has done research to Wikipedia. I tried to change keyword. URL about: config and even restore Firefox to default settings, but nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Starting from Firefox 23 keyword. URL pref is no longer supported and is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar like that.

The search engine that is used in the address bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar in the Navigation toolbar.

You can disable the automatic search through the address bar by setting false keyword.enabled and use a keyword search (a letter) to use a rather specific search engine to search through the address bar.

Another option is to disable the search by keyword (keyword.enable = false) and use a keyword (letter) for the search using the address bar.

You can define a keyword for a search engine that is installed through the Manage search engines (click the icon to search on the search bar engine).

Which also allows to easily switch between search engines when searching via the address bar and you don't have a problem with a word search.

  • "Title" bar continues to change color

    The "Title" bar continues to change color. I don't mind above all this except that one color is green and I hate this color!

    Is it possible to change this behavior?

    Hello

    I took a screenshot of my title bar in Firefox (Windows 7) and it marked with an arrow below. I think that is what changes the color on your machine?

    In Windows 8, the color of the bars title in all applications is determined by the operating system not Firefox. This varies according to the theme of your operating system, but by default, it is a kind of 'average' colors sampled in your background. This replaces the Aero translucent look of Windows 7.

    So detestable green color is most likely taken from your screen background image. To get rid of him the best bet is to change your background.

    If you wish to override the settings for Windows, you can try a Firefox theme:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/themes/

    Or you can change the color of the title bar with the code to userChrome.css

  • I can't change the search engine bar awesome.

    I use Firefox 29 Windows 8.1. I had to reinstall Firefox because of other problems, and I reinstalled my Add-ons. I wanted to add DuckDuckGo to my search box, so I reinstalled an extension to get the extension made DDG the default search engine in the search bar and so also in the Awesome bar. I have reset the bar of Bing search, but the Awesome bar is 'stuck' on DDG and I can't change it. I checked the config lists, and my default search engine is Bing, sort of rights the Awesome bar should use Bing as well; It uses rather DDG. How can I change the Awesome bar to use Bing?

    Hello crogerblair1, you may need to uninstall the associated duckduckgo extension make it work again: disable or remove modules

  • Bar do not use the Safari address search engine

    My address bar of Safari only acts as a search engine occasionally. Usually when I type something in the address bar that is not a Safari URL by default one Google search. For example if I typed "How to feed your goldfish" in the address bar, add Safari "-google search" in the expression I would be redirected to a Google search. Sometimes, when I type a Google search in the treats Safari address bar it as a URL. 'How to feed your goldfish' would be to redirect to the how%20to%20feed%20your%20goldfish.com Web page. No idea why? My goldfish is hungry

    In your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences , and then select the Privacy tab.

    Click on: data to remove any Web site

  • How to set the location bar search regardless of the selected search engine bar?

    The search in the address bar searches with the currently selected in the search bar engine with 23 FF. I find the annoying behavior, because sometimes I select different engines in the search bar, if necessary, but most often I just need to research that I make from the location bar wihout need to change the quick google search engine.

    Is it possible to customize the behavior, so that the search in the address bar still points on a single engine, regardless of the engine that is selected in the search bar?

    Hello tadolo, you can use an addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/ to get the old behavior.

  • IP address of the printer continues to change

    A large part of the time that my wireless printer is offline compared to computers on my local network, because IP address has been changed to a value other than what the computer thinks it should be.  So I have to figure out what is the IP address of the printer, and then change the printer on the PC port to point to the correct address.  If this happened only rarely, or if I could easily remember the steps I have to take to remedy, I suppose that this would not be a big deal.  But it happens a lot and I am old and alzheimery.  So my question is: How can I get the router to assign the same IP address to the printer, all the time?

    I have a LinkSys WRT54G and just updated the firmware to V4.21.1.  I went through all the settings on the router via http://192.168.1.1 but don't see anything that would reserve specific addresses for specific devices.  Is this possible?  I need to have the DHCP Server enabled, because some devices come and go on this network.  Devices that are not controlled by the DHCP server can co-exist with devices that are?

    TIA
    * beep *.

    Your printer must have a STATIC IP address, and Yes, the DHCP server on your router remains active.

    Open the page of the http://192.168.1.1 router

    Go to status then LAN, click the DHCP clients table.

    Find the IP address of your printserver.

    Now, log in to your printserver page

    You can see a static or fixed IP address. Assign an IP address, but not of this range from 100 to 149

  • How can I activate google as search engine when the homepage change option refuses to accept a change?

    I have a PC brand new. For some strange reason in the development of my machine, google home page is disabled. Instead, I get a MSN/Bing combo that the machine won't let me change. My antivirus is not a virus so I guess that some can be given? How can I activate the "current page" button?

    Go to the Options menu by clicking on the tab of Firefox (upper-left).

    Firefox > Options > Options > general
    When Firefox starts-set it to "show my Home Page".
    Then type in your desired home page.
    Click Ok and everything is done.
  • Unable to manage search engines, press ok nothing!

    I have a list of about 15 search engines added to search bar (all usual and famous sites), but somehow all of a sudden I have been unable to organize them or even to change order of them.
    When I select Manage from the drop-down list of the search bar search engines, that options window opens ok.
    Then, if I change the order or delete or even tap on restore settings by default, and then click the ok button will save ever this new settings or close the window and nothing to do other than press Cancel.

    After some tests, I found that changing the order of some engines work ok.
    I tried everything and I don't want to lose my firefox profile, there's a lot of hard work.

    Vallovic a coincidence I found the solution today and I was going to report to what is the problem.

    It is all caused by an add-on called «keyword.url hack»
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/keywordurl-hack/
    It solves the most incredible change of Mozilla, when they destroyed the independent address search engine bar.
    Unfortunately I need this add-on hard so I'll stay with the same workaround, you mentioned to solve this problem.

    I wrote a study on the page Add on reporting the issue.
    If you are not a user of it check your modules one by one until you find the bugy one.

    Good luck.

  • How can I change the address to google bar search engine?

    Basically, I want to make google the search engine by default, I tried to change the thing: the url of the keyword in the config that is not working, the search engine bar is set to google, but the address bar back to Yahoo which I don't want.

    The key word. Pref URL is no longer used in current versions of Firefox.
    Firefox uses the same search engine (by default) for the address bar and the subject: such home page as defined for the search bar.

    It is more likely a problem caused by an extension.

    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

  • How can I change the default search engine in firefox 14?

    I tried to change my default search engine, does not. A read a lot of the help file, but it seems that none of the recommendations had jobs. The problem is in the search box in the upper right where the default from now (the search engine when I open firefox for the first time) is Yahoo. I had tried to change it to goggle by clicking on the drop down arrow and select a new search engine, but does not take effect. Yahoo is still in effect so that the search engine despite this change. I also followed the advice of some to change the default engine by typing "subject: config" in the address bar and some values but still after the opening and closing firefox again, Yahoo is still the default search and could be that the change by selecting from the drop-down search menu.

    Thank you for your answer but I managed to fix the problem already. What I did is to select from the dropdown to Ask.com (it seems that it is the only option that work) a window appeared asking me what a search engine change was made, and if I would use Ask.com to be the search engine or to maintain using Yahoo.com. I chose to use Ask.com and disable the protection on the search engine. Toke effect change and after that I could change from the drop down list a search engine like Google. I put a note above in parenthesis closed, that it seems Ask.com works as I tried before to change the search engine Google, but no window came to ask me if I want to change the default search engine.

    Once again thanks a lot to you two, for the reply and for your precious time to try to solve this problem.

  • An add-on to force firefox switch to the default search engine in the search bar

    Hello

    I have a few search engines in the search bar of firefox. I find it extremely annoying that whenever I have change the search engine, that it stays like this, even after restarting firefox. Is there an add-on that would go to the one who is at the top of the list (which is my default for search engine being both navigation bar) whenever I restart the browser?

    Let me give you an example: I use duckduckgo as a search engine by default in the search bar and navigation bar. Let's say I need to find a definition for which I use the wikipedia search engine. Then I go to wikipedia one. I disable the browser the next time I start firefox search engine that appears in the search bar is wikipedia and I would have preferred it to be duckduckgo.

    I hope that's not waves.

    see you soon,
    Omen

    Easier is to put the default engine for search engine preferred via the user.js file in the Firefox profile folder by copying the line user_pref() related to this file.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can search the topic: config page for browser.search. to locate the pref (s) you need.

    • user_pref ("browser.search.defaultenginename", 'Google');

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

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a file user.js (new) in this folder (the names are case-sensitive)
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as user.js
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not user.js.txt file
