• How can I change the search engines if /searchreset does not work?

  I just upgraded to 23 FF, and it or some other setting changed my default Yahoo search engine. I want to go back to Google, which I think is the default value. Another thread of support was driven to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/, but that has not worked. I went in: config and Yahoo changed to Google on several lines, but it did nothing. I tried to change the searchreset.backup.keyword.URL and the keyword. URL, but they would not change the setting Yahoo.

  Not only is my default stuck with Yahoo, but even if I click on the arrow pointing downwards in the search box, I can not select a different search manually engine. The drop down menu shows me a list of search engines, but by selecting one of them has no effect. Help?

• Change the search engine to the url of the specific Web site

  I have the problem by changing the url of search engine for the url address bar and the search engine plugin. My version of Firefox is 35.

  Specifically, I want to use Google.co.uk for each search, but it goes to a country different from Google.

  I tried to change the subject: config-> keyword. URL: value: "https://www.google.co.uk/#q=", but it does not.

  I have tryied changing the search engine plugin, which does not work either.

  You need to install a search engine for your favorite country, then select this search engine in "Options/Preferences > Search" as the default search engine.

• How to change the search engine when you use the functionality of Firefox Home button Search?

  In Firefox itself, I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.

  But when I use the host Firefox search button it is always defined on google and I don't see any possibility to change that?

  I love the Firefox Home button Search (or whatever we call it) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default Firefox.

  I use the Google Launcher now.

  Hi mrt181, it is planned to use the same search engine as in firefox - however, there is a bug at the moment, so it does not apply in all situations.
  usually, it will be enough to change the default engine in firefox back once to work around the problem in the search widget and get the same as set in the browser search provider.

• tried to change search engines in firefox 34 and lost all of them and could not get back them, was finally back to version 33. how to fix this problem

  I didn't have Yahoo as my default search engine. I want to be able to choose as always. When I clicked on a different search engine I've lost all the features of the search bar and it became white. I, ve returned to 33 until I can get a fix for the problem. I would appreciate your help.

  If you want to restore the window previously used independently to manage search engines, you can enable or disable this pref to false with a medium on the subject click: config page.

  Subject: config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false

  You will need to close and restart Firefox to make it work properly.

  In the address bar, type Subject: preferences #search < enter >

  The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeMode

  When in Safe Mode...

  • The State of plugins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a character.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The layout of the default toolbar is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.
  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 15.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.

  All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.  I ran the fixes suggested in other threads with the same problem, but I still get Yahoo search results.  Google is my selected search engine.

  I noticed that the problem happens when I type my research in space on the search page itself.  This search page looks a bit like a page from Google, but there no links etc than Google does.  Instead, he has "SearchTech" downstairs (with Contact, privacy and terms). If I type my research topic in the menu bar the results come back in Google.

  I confirmed that my favorite search engine is Google. Previously I ran LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons and removed three files to those who had been loaded on my computer today.  I checked the extensions are that there is not.

• Can I get the Firefox search bar for not automatically, go to the site of the search engine I spend?

  The Firefox search bar seems to have changed since the last update. I understand that things are changing constantly and get used to them, but I wonder if it is possible to change the rear bar to the way it was, or at least understand why it changed.

  Basically, I used to be able to switch from search engines by choosing from the drop-down list, and would not put me right at the site of this search engine. He didn't actually bring me to the site once I hit the search button (or enter). It's quite annoying to have to remember to open a new tab before changing search engines in order to avoid sailing away from the tab that you are currently on, and it's also annoying that when you open a new tab and change the search engines, you are immediately taken to the site of this search engine. It feels like an extra step (ranging from 'the empty tab search engine page to search result' instead of 'empty tab to search result').

  I know it sounds like a minor complaint, no doubt, but I'm really really curious to know why it was changed. More important, I want to know if there is a way to customize the way it was.

  Thanks for any help!

  Many users have been raising this issue. I mentioned the same question in this post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086138

  In summary, it seems that the Firefox team is not intend to bring back the ability to return to the old bar search, which was possible (but in a very biased way) in older versions of 42. For now, you can either:

  • Download module additional classic restaurateur theme to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/?src=ss and then select the old search option
  • Go back to Firefox 42 and set the browser.search.showOneOffButtons property in Subject: config. However, with older versions poses a risk to the security that you won't have bug fixes provided with version 43

• Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen

  OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!

  I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.

  I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.

  I hope this helps.

• How keep Google as a search engine on Firefox startpage, any search engine is in the upper drop box right?

  When I change the search engine in the upper search box right (to let's say Wikipedia), the search engine in the middle of the homepage Firefox changes accordingly. I don't want to do (I want to pin it to Google). How to do?

  The current versions of Firefox use the search engine that is selected in the search bar (click the search engine icon to open the drop-down list) on the Navigation bar for research via the address bar and for the search engine on the subject: homepage.

  If you want to use different search engines, then you can install the extension of search by keyword to specify with search engine to use for the search and address bar which engine to use for the topic: homepage via Windows Options/preferences of this extension, accessible via the on: addons page (Firefox > Add-ons).

• The search engine DuckDuckGo appears as my primary search engine every time that I start Firefox, even if I delete it from my search engines every time, WHY?

  I tried several times to get rid of DuckDuckGo. I use the search engine to remove it and whenever I restart Firefox it reappears as my main search engine. I ran Norton 360 antivirus after deleting DuckDuckGo and he finds any problems, so I don't know what to do next. How can I permanently delete DuckDuckGo of Firefox?
