After you install Firefox 23, I can't find any more Google as search engine in my search bar, and I can not also restore default search engines.
Restore default search engines is dimmed, and when I go to Google.com to try to add it as a search engine, there is no option to do so.
By default, the Google search plugin is installed in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins
See google.xml?
If this isn't the case, you may need to reinstall Firefox 23. No required uninstallation, you can get the installer on the following page:
http://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (find your language and your OS)
If you have google.xml in the usual location, it is possible for the data file which stores the search plugins is corrupt. You can solve that by renaming or deleting files below and have Firefox regenerate them.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.
Switch back to Firefox and output
Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename (or delete) the following files:
search.json => rename to search.json.old search-metadata.json (if found) => delete search.sqlite (if found) => delete search.rdf (if found) => delete
Restart Firefox. I hope that now Google will be reintroduced in the list.

I am running Windows XP Home SP3. I had been using Firefox v4.0. I didn't give it up. I finally decided to update today (05.06.2013). I get 100 MB dry by charter.com for the last year or so... After I installed Firefox v20.0.1 and restarted my system... I always restart after the installation of new software... my internet connection has been lowered to 3.5 mb a second I tested it by going to speedtest.net and speedtest.charter.com. .. .i called Charter around 21:00... We went through the whole process... all power off and unplugging everything... speed never changed. The guy said that the modem looked good on his end. Then... something has changed on my system, my system is not the way it should be... all programs that I have internet access have the same problem... Help, please...!

After you install firefox 32. Dowloads beta 9 is not finished.
File download is completely, but it remains in 'downloads' with 0 kb/s speed.
Hello gato_gris, this is a bug in the latest version 32 beta 9 which is treated in the version Release Candidate 1 that should be deployed via auto-mises to update to users of the beta tomorrow.
a workaround for now would be to conclude Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), click somewhere on the page, and then create a new string with the name browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL and the value https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%
for reference see the bug #1057764 (please do not post in bugs, but vote for the bug reports if you want to see fixed)

Hello
I cannot install extensions, they appear with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after that I restarted.
The 'Intermediary' folder is present and rest after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the message "will be installed after you restart Firefox" and remain like that, no matter how many times I restart.
Any idea?
Under Firefox 24.0 Windows 8.1
Thank you very much
BDP.S. Just tried to install the add-on "convenience store" before asking the question and I got an error saying that it cannot install because it cannot change the necessary file. (I did manually instead)
I tried to delete the files extensions.* nothing works. However, I deleted the addons.sqlite file and restarted my computer (computer not only Firefox) and that seemed to do the trick. Problem solved.
Thank you for your help, it is appreciated.

After you download Firefox 4, my Google toolbar has disappeared. The new F4 page has no opinion, etc. to tools at the top. WHY I would risk this again by accepting the invitation to download 5?
Changes in the toolbars:
- I don't like the changes made to the user interface either, rather than to save toolbar space, they would have much more space with 1/10 the functionality. But the important thing is that it's Firefox and you can customize things yourself. Your complaints about the Firefox toolbars are the top 10 items in what follows and they are quickly fixed.
You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.
hostage to the third party toolbar:
- Why you would bind your use of any third-party toolbar browser, which was never really necessary, and even less be hostage to not update to Firefox. Google has had over a year to update their toolbar for Firefox 4 and changes for Firefox 5 could have been tested for several months. Google has waited very long before for finally stating that they would maintain is no longer their toolbar for Firefox, claiming that it was not necessary, and that the items were in Firefox. Also be aware that the features are also in their own browser that also do not need or use the Google toolbar. Not only is Mozilla open source, but all the information is available to anyone - you can even listen online meetings yourself or wait for a printed reviewa.
- There is no change to the user interface of Firefox 4 to 5 and probably even not through Firefox 7
Life without the Google toolbar:
- You can read this article, on the basis of assessment of own Google features were already in Firefox and expanded from there.
Kicking a dead horse:
- The Google toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and more ', you may be able to get what you want from him for a limited time, the instructions to install the Google toolbar have been posted before that Google has actually announced a fall support.
- Activate the Google toolbar in Firefox 5

After I installed Firefox, I'll be able to retrieve my current Favorites?
I am currently using Windows XP, and I wanted to know if I'll be able to recover my current Favorites after I installed Firefox, as well as whatever it is saved on my desktop.
Thank you
Ian Turner
I would back up the bookmarks to an external location (outside the profile and maybe a flash key or a CD). In this way, you have a copy of backup you want to restore. In fact, you could back up your complete profile.

Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge. The specified controls did.
Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.
You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.
If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.
Contact HP Total Care (1800-474-6836), and if your unit is under warranty, its free.
Let me know if this can help, thank you. -
