Cannot change the search to Firefox's search engine?

• 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.

• 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.

• Cannot delete the search engines on my Mac. "Delete" button is grayed out. ??

  I tried to search for reset addon and nothing has changed.

  It also seems that Firefox change my settings as homepage and the size of the police.

  I'm not very tech savvy.

  Mac Mini running Yosemite 10.10.2

  Thank you

  See it works on MacOSX.

  Put this in the address bar and press ENTER.

  chrome://browser/content/search/engineManager.XUL

  You can copy and paste this address in "internal".

  Select the search engine you want to delete, and then use the Remove button in the bottom right.

• How to change the search engine used in the address bar?

  I use the address bar to find, place of the actual search bar field. Why? It is easier. Or it used to be. He used to use Google. He is now using Yahoo!. This is unacceptable. Haha. How can I change that search engine is used in the ADDRESS bar?

  You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.

• 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.

• You can change the search engine Google to something else on the default Firefox homepage?

  Topic: home page has always Google image search. Is it possible to change this and if this is the case, how could I do.

• Cannot change the search values

  Hi friends,
  I'm trying to restrict the values of "Extensible" search lookup_type "CONTACT". But I'm not able to disable certain options. Someone will suggest how it can be done. Not only by disabling but I also plan to add the values of tag for them.
  
  Advice or suggestions will be useful
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  We had the same kind of requirement, ideally the system does allow you to disable or end date of the standard values in the CONTACT search. Please follow the steps below to run:

  1. go to the application-> research-> Common developer
  2. the query 'CONTACT '.
  3. click on the level of access 'user' several times
  4. navigate to help-> Diagnostics-> review-> field = CUSTOMIZATION_LEVEL
  5. change the value in "U".
  6 save
  7 re - question research CONTACT
  8 disable the codes you want to disable, and save.

  The only risk you have here is that in the case of a major update HRMS if oracle starts with her do replace your changes and you need to repeat the same thing. It will be useful.

  Thank you
  Sanjay

• I can't change the search engine bar awesome.

  I use Firefox 29 Windows 8.1. I had to reinstall Firefox because of other problems, and I reinstalled my Add-ons. I wanted to add DuckDuckGo to my search box, so I reinstalled an extension to get the extension made DDG the default search engine in the search bar and so also in the Awesome bar. I have reset the bar of Bing search, but the Awesome bar is 'stuck' on DDG and I can't change it. I checked the config lists, and my default search engine is Bing, sort of rights the Awesome bar should use Bing as well; It uses rather DDG. How can I change the Awesome bar to use Bing?

• 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?
