  • How to change the address bar of search engine uses when you type in the search for something that is not Google

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    Hello

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
    2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
    4. Double-click the item that appears.
    5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).

    You have not been hacked.  Looks that you have installed the malware or adware programs on your hard drive, and it is at the origin of the result of your search be redirected to Yahoo.  You have two options to remove:

    • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac.  It was developed by an employee trust and respected here.  It is a simple and non-intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive.  That's all that.  It does nothing and is not take anything else.  Unlike the antiviruss protection programs, it does not work in the background of your computer, using the resources and also unlike anti-virus programs (which are not necessary on Macs), it is not actively prevent malware infections or adware.  Its only purpose is to remove them.
    • Restart your computer.  As of April 26, 2016, changes to the support article here-> stop the cAds in Safari - Apple charge El Capitan State removes adware when you connect, but only when connecting.  So, if you do not want to use Malwarebytes, it's another option for you.

    Then go to Safari preferences-> Extensions and remove any that you do not install or you don't need.  Then go to Safari preferences-> search, then reset your preferred Google search engine.  Finally, go to Safari Preferences-> general and make sure that your home page has not been changed and if she, change it back to what it was before.

  • How can I get the address bar does not redirect me?

    Since the recent update for Firefox 36.0.1, a URL typed on the address bar is now taking me to a website where I can buy this unused domain name (buydomains.com). This is not where I want to go. I have no intention to buy a domain name; I don't particularly appreciate receive advertising in response to my fault for typing. What I would like is a good, not old Error 404 to tell me that I looked for something that didn't exist. How can I prevent the address bar to send me off, in the arms of the advertiser, but get just a 404 instead of this message?

    Hello

    I have to fully understand and appreciate the magnificence of a 404 error. He immediately told you what you wanted to know - that the site is not found!

    What you see is where the registration and ownership of the site was passed to the registry which is owner of the domain. The site is located, it is just acting as an announcement of the person who is the owner of the URL so that they can sell or resell.

    The address bar works as it should - it displays the URL as requested - it's just not the preferred outcome. One way you can get around this is use a parental control addon and include the name of the registry in the watchlist (or edit list so that it is the only entrance). She stops at the page to display. (Link) is an example of the kind of addon, that you could use.

  • How can I change the address to google bar search engine?

    Basically, I want to make google the search engine by default, I tried to change the thing: the url of the keyword in the config that is not working, the search engine bar is set to google, but the address bar back to Yahoo which I don't want.

    The key word. Pref URL is no longer used in current versions of Firefox.
    Firefox uses the same search engine (by default) for the address bar and the subject: such home page as defined for the search bar.

    It is more likely a problem caused by an extension.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Why you can not move the address bar to FF 29.1 and put in place if you wish?

    I hate this version of FF sucks, my set up disappeared (it took forever to put upward the way I liked it and it's just been eliminated in a single update what horror) and I tried to put it was, but it seems that you can not. I love FF in black including my menu bookmark I have poor eyesight and it is much easier to read, FF is black OK, but I can't get the bookmark, menu has changed the way that it used to be. Also can you change the LEGS down. You also don't seem to be able to move the address bar it's stuck on the right side of the page to the most ridiculous place, it might be. I appreciate if anyone has any ideas that could help me I'd love to hear from you, Bravo and thank you for taking the time to read my problems. I hope 30 FF will improve or it will be IE and not more FF.

  • The address bar disappears when the cursor is in the middle or the bottom of the page. How can I make the address bar to stay constantly?

    When you open mozilla, when the cursor is not at the top of the page, I do not see:
    (1) the address bar
    (2) front and rear buttons
    (3) office toolbar

    So, in short i can only see the adress bar when i move the cursor to the top of the page. Desktop toolbar doesn't seem at all when the mozilla internet page is open. How can i solve this?

    Yesterday I rekindled my settings of Firefox failing to solve a problem of gel. Since then, every time I start typing in a framework, I start to get boring text suggestions. In accessibility options, I disabled 'Find the text when you type' but it makes no difference. I studied the problem and tried on a solution - opening and closing of the downloads dialog box - that has not worked.

    It has worked before. Now, why not?
