Automatic entry in the search bar

• Is there a way to keep the search bar to bend down?

  I've just updated to 34 FF and see that when I start typing something in the bar he search now takes place down, taking a value about seven lines of space - even though I have disabled search suggestions. The problem is that the course covers a part of the URL, tab and top-of-page Web of the text that I sometimes reference (or even copy - paste) to guide my search term selection. I usually use only my default search engine, so the disadvantages of this "blackout" certainly outweigh the benefits of being able to choose more easily a replacement search engine on the fly. In fact, one of the reasons I used the search bar are first to * avoid * behavior type search engine pages of conduct have often. But it is here, in fact more intrusive because it covers the most relevant text. Is it possible to keep this behavior "unfolding" occurs automatically when you use the search bar in 34 FF? Thank you

  You can return to the range of older 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.

• Firefox takes the address bar in the search bar.

  Every time I do a search on Google, I start typing, and all of a sudden, my text stops to appear in the search bar and begins to appear in the address bar. This also happens when I'm looking at YouTube, and when I try to copy a link in the 'Sharing' tab on a video, it automatically jumps to the address bar. Firefox seems to think that it is now Google, I guess? It does only on Web sites run by Google.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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 issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

• Can reposition is no longer the search bar / address after upgrade to 29.0.1

  I guess I just me am automatically "upgraded" to 29.0.1. I used to be able to drag the search bar / address on menu bar - where he lived with happiness before the "upgrade". Now it seems to be permanently set at some bar poster my bookmarks folders. I'd be tempted to call it the 'personal bar', but currently, this option is not checked in the context menu and check, it causes an empty toolbar is displayed. Or the search bar / address seems to be an element in the custom items menu.

  The classic theme restaurant will give you this ability. This article has a link to download it and explains a bit about it - How to make the new look of Firefox as the old Firefox.

  Let me know how it goes,

• Search by location bar goes to my internet service provider instead of search engine selected in the search bar; Why?

  Using Firefox 26.0 for openSUSE 12.3

  I disabled the keyword in the address bar search, because instead of results research of the source selected in the search bar (google), my string input sent to my internet provider, a kind of impasse, unproductive page 'web search' without any result.

  I had typed in "ezsniper' in the address bar. After you disable the keyword search in subject: config, my string entry took me to ezsniper.com, which is better than the impasse page Charter.com

  I put my addresses DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS)

  The problem is not to breed, but is stopped before I did the DNS change. Charter Communications seemed to allow a way to disable the 'service' who had ignored my browser/preferences, so that he could... I appreciate the answers, doubt that Charter will get another chance to again divert the DNS.

• Google and Wikipedia and possibly other search engines, have suddenly disappeared as a choice in the search bar

  I'm fairly certain that Google has always been my default search engine when you search using the address bar, but it has been switched to Yahoo Search.

  I tried to follow the suggestion to open the box to "Manage search engines" and clicking on the button "Restore default settings", but the button is grey and inactive. I then installed the SearchReset 0.2 Add on, which had another solution found in the recommended Firefox Help. This changed my homepage on the default setting and deleted Yahoo as search engine when you use the address bar (even if the research is now not possible at all here), but it has not reset the search somehow bar, and Google and Wikipedia are not always listed as a choice. Also, search Reset didn't uninstall properly said, as he is still listed as an add-on, even if the description on the homepage SearchReset says that this will happen automatically.

  I mention also that, at the same time, the search bar, difficulties began, the 2.2.2 ForecastFox add-on has stopped working and has disappeared from the status bar, but I was able to restore by disabling everything first and then allowing him once again. Also, until I was able to restore ForecastFox, Firefox would crash, whenever I clicked on "Manage search engines", but this crash has not happpened for ForecastFox has been restored. Weird!

  Dear GBinHoosick

  All of a sudden all my search engines by default FireFox search missing. Sweet Im has been replaced... The fix for me was quite simply after a search for hours for many who did not.

  I went to C: program Files\MozillaFirefox... I noticed there are two folders that says SearchPlugins, which was empty, and Searchplugins (2) which contains all of the default values, Google, Yahoo etc. I copied these Searchplugins (2) of and stuck looking for Plugins and the problem resolved.
  Hope this works for you too

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

  Everytime I open firefox default search in the search bar engine little is still Yahoo, and nothing I do changes it again to google permanently. Even when I type something in the address bar it uses yahoo. Ive tried everything, including going in to about: config and change a bunch of stuff like put in the string of google, but nothing works...

  Hello jonhon8, this looks like a problem that can be caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspect entries (toolbars, the things that you do not have intentionally, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from here and do a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place or another tool like the free version of malwarebytes.

  Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

  then install the reset search addon - he will return the most common customizations of these default firefox adware programs: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

• After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

  Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

  Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

  Plugins:
  Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
  Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
  Google 1.3.21.123 update
  Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 10.9.2.5
  Java (TM) platform SE 7 U9 10.9.2.5
  Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4761.1000
  Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4730.1010
  Microsoft Windows Media Services 4.1.0.3917
  Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.287
  Silverlight Plugin 4.1.10329.0
  Windows Live Photo Gallery 14.0.8081.709

  Extensions:
  Avast! WebRep 7.0.1473

  Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

  You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

• How can I change the name of the search engine in the search bar?

  I just added the Oxford Dictionary to my list of search engines in the search bar. Only problem is that it does not say Oxford Dictionary. It says ONO.

  How can I change the list of search engines, I can change the more evocative name?

  Are there not such somewhere or an XML file that contains these entries?

  Firefox gathers information about the plugins of research from two sources - the default searchplugins folder that is shared by all profiles Firefox (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and the folder searchplugins in your active profile. They are combined into a data file named search.json.

  I read a few threads on the net about the modification of these search plugins, and it seems to require some trial and error. Assume that the ONO plugin is in your profile.

  Under help > troubleshooting information, you can click the open folder containing (pre-Fx12) or folder (Fx12) Show to open your folder of the currently active profile. Snap searchplugins. Here are the XML files you can edit in your favorite text editor. If you break one, you can probably just download again, but if you're a cautious type, go ahead and make a backup.

  After the change the short name and save and close the file, change your probably not will immediately appear in Firefox because some trigger event may be necessary to update search.json. If the restart of Firefox is not enough, you can try to rename search.json before restarting, but this can cause you to lose the keywords that you have assigned through the dialog box handle the search engines.

  In any case, it's all improvised that have not tried-TI-me-even, then I suggest to do some additional research.

  (If there is an Add on very practical to do this, I don't find it.)

• Adding a search engine creates a bookmark instead of an element in the search bar

  Hi all

  right click in a search field on (almost) any web page offers the possibility to add the search in the search bar.

  In FF4, however, this creates a bookmark rather than add entry than the engine in the search bar.

  Everyone knows the same problem?

  Thanks and respect,
  Leo

  Talk you about the context menu item carry Add a keyword for this search...? It's for search bar location, using a keyword that you have defined in the properties of a bookmark (beyond the help of packaged keywords) that come with Firefox.

• When I click on the toolbar URL or the search bar, it has a blue border. How can I get rid of this?

  The blue outline around the search bars and URL when I click on them is loud. Is there a way to disable them? With the help of 40.0.2 of 10 to win.

  Found a theme that does not include the blue boxes. The "Cartoon" look is no more.

• How can I remove a distracting green icon on the search bar?

  Please find attached image of distracting green icon in the search bar. I saw 'elegant' installation options and editing of CSS scripts, but these make everyone feel as very complicated for a relatively simple problem; not to mention other users looking for a solution maybe not programmers, nor confident in editing scripts. This overlap of the icons is not aesthetic and constantly draws the eye to the search bar.

  This is the search bar 'new '.

  If you want to restore the window previously used independently to manage
  search engines, you can toggle this false with a doudle click pref
  on the topic: config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
  You will need to close and restart Firefox to make it work properly.

• Firefox cannot connect to google in the search bar

  I recently had an attacker change the IP address of the DNS server in my router to a bad. When it has been changed, I couldn't access google or facebook. I have fixed and can browse both sites, but the search bar in the upper right won't take me to google. I get an "Unable to connect" error. Do other search engines (e.g. wikipedia) is very good.

  Firefox 37 right out of the box (+ router nonsense) on Ubuntu 14.

  Time seems to have fixed. Maybe the https / /google.com ip has been in cache or something.
