• 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.

• Why Firefox change of a search engine by default when I got small previews before where I just click on, now I have a here serach engine I want

  When I click on a new tab, I had small screenshots of my last visits. now, I have a power of search engine Bing, which I don't want. Why FIREFOX change that and force the shit out of me that I don't like or want.

  Here is the link that is display:
  http://search.conduit.com/?q= & ctid = CT3324775 & gd = & SearchSource = 69 & Searchtypes = SearchWeb & UP = SP6D16A319 - 2A 35 - 4B7D - 92D0 - CE51D47CADB4 & isid = ME0675196-326 - 40 1-9EE1-540D6679382F & UM = 5

  Now I would like to be the one to choice what I want and how to configure it, I don't need a browser to make that choice for me, if it continues I'll go to safari or opera. Thank you

  Firefox didn't do. At some point, you may have added an add-on or installed
  a program and the installer has changed things on you. Mouse in the search window.
  On the left, click the icon. Look for and click on Manage search engines. Put everything
  upward as you wish.
  
  If something prevents you from working on it;
  Download the Mozilla search reset
  
  This module is very simple: installation, it backs up and then resets
  your search and homepage to their default values, preferences
  and then to uninstall. This affects the search bar, the URL bar
  research and the homepage.
  
  Look through your list of modules and make sure you know what each of them is
  and so. In addition,
  Windows > start > Control Panel > uninstall programs.
  Go through the list and a web search to check that you have not
  know what they are.

• I can't change my default search engine.

  A few days ago, I was not careful enough by downloading an application from the internet. My landing page and my search engines have been change to webssearches.com. In addition, a toolbar has been installed. To remove the toolbar and clean the addon was not so difficult. To change the landing page was pretty easy too, but I'm not able to upgrade my default address bar search engine DuckDuckGo.com. Even if I changed it in the topic: config. After each restart of Firefox, the search engine goes back to webssearches.com. How can I fix? Still a complete new Firefox has not solved the problem.

  Brombeersalat,

  I suspect that you didn't completely rid your PC of all this webssearches.com Malware / PUPS. The question of setting in Firefox is not enough, and now that the shit is re - install itself again in Firefox on a cold start Windows or when you launch Firefox.

• How can I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?

  I tried the subject: solution of config and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google, but it has changed to a random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. Is there no option in the menu dropdown. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I wonder why it is so difficult to change something like that. There should be a button for those of us who are not computer savvy. Am getting irritated that I can't just look for something more.

• How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

  Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

  Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
  Remove the Yahoo toolbar

  1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
  2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
  3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

  Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

  • Search Google (Google search results page)
    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & q =
  1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
  2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
  3. filter by keyword
  4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  5. filter on defaulturl
  6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  7. filter on ytff
  8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

• FF34. How to stop the new searches starting at the changing choice of search engine?

  I spend much enigines of different looks, such as IMDB, Alex webster, Wikipedia, YACY and so immediately, and with previous versions when I chose a new search engine from the drop-down list it does not immediately start a new search. I don't want a new search started I press enter or tap on the search icon. How can I stop FF to do this? I don't like FF it is because I don't want the already searched for a term to be used automatically to a new choice of search engine. This is the reason why I choose to use another search engine previously.

  You can return to the former regime of the search like this bar.

  Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar)
  Do a right click and toggle this false preference

  browser.search.showOneOffButtons

  Then restart Firefox.
