Although the home page of Mozilla Firefox uses the Google search engine, whenever I enter something on the address bar, I get Yahoo instead of Google expected search results.
On the address bar, when I write something, I would get Yahoo instead of Google search results. I don't know how to change it because the Options under the Tools tab do not seem anything which changes the search engine for the address bar.
There is a hidden preference that you can edit to make it use Browse of Google search of name that has been used in Firefox 3.6
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below
http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =
If after changing the preference it is still using Yahoo, there will be an add-on that is the cause. Check for modules of Yahoo and if not necessary to uninstall them. If you have the add-on of net assistant freeze.com , which can cause research go to Yahoo, uninstall this add-on - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

When I go to the start page, after clicking on the icon for Mozilla Firefox, if I type in the box and press 'Search', it does nothing. I have to go to the top of the address bar to search for anything. This isn't like Google, where I can type a few words, for example, CBS (the station news and hit search and get results). Any ideas?
Hello mdchlanda, first of all, please see install research reset addon can solve the problem: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ (a restart of the browser is needed later).
If not, try the following steps to manually restore the search function on the default home page:
- Go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information and click file/show profile folder. a windows Explorer window should open - to delete the file named chromeappsstore.sqlite.
- then enter Subject: config in the bar firefox address (confirm the message information where it appears) & get preference named browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone - right click and restore the default value for that entry.
- Restart firefox

the address bar of Firefox 40 will not act on the entered text.
I can only access different websites using bookmarks. Although the address bar shows the current site accurately, you can enter the new text in the address bar and pressing Enter has no effect. Nothing happens. How can I fix?
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

How can I stop Firefox giving search suggestions in the address bar?
From the last update, if I start typing something in the address bar, I get random search suggestions as if I was using the search instead. How can I disable this? It is kind of annoying, and it really bothers me. I read in another article that I went to about: config and checked "I'll be careful", it would stop, but I'm worried it may screw up my browser. Is there another way to solve this problem? Or do I just move a superior browser?
No it won't cause other problems as long as you do not change other preferences.

I get a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar in Firefox 29,0 for Mac.
I just installed Firefox 29,0 for Mac.
I have a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar with this new version.
Instead of the address bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it is impossible to write anything in the address bar.
(I add a screenshot, but I can't find a way to do it).Firefox has an RSS icon in the palette of the toolbar that you can drag a toolbar (but not on the location bar container).
