Cannot restore the functionality "search the Web from the address bar.

I just picked up my system of the Funmoods virus. In the process, I uninstalled all Funmoods components and then clean my registry with Malwarebytes. However, I can pick up is no longer the web from the address bar in Firefox. I followed the instructions in the help section of Mozilla on this (here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar). My settings are:

    keyword.URL            default     string
    keyword.enabled     default     boolean     true

In my view, here are the correct settings, but clearly they are wrong or there are other I need to adjust the settings. Can someone point me in the right direction on this?

The only thing you would lose a rest is your extensions, nothing else. However, try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/

    Sometimes modules can 'break' when a new version of Firefox is available and cause strange glitches in the user interface.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

  • Cannot search from the address bar or search even in safe mode

    Hello

    I can't search in the address bar or search, even in safe mode. I refreshed Firefox, delete all cookies, empty my cache, but nothing works. Also, I get a message that does not respect the firefox sync, and "this object pushed." I know that these are all different questions, but I suspect that there is a link.

    I have very limited FTP and general computer knowledge, so please take I don't know anything when he answers! Really hope you can help!

    Thanks in advance.

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • Cannot submit the URL from the address bar or present Google searches

    I can type a URL in the address bar, but I can't submit the URL via the Enter key or 'go' button. I have google as my home page and I can type a search but not submit them. I reinstalled FF several times. I deleted my profiles. I disabled addons. Nothing works. I am running version 20. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy. User on the computer never has this problem.

    If you are in a corporate network environment:

    20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\greg). Currently, there is a solution for this. A solution could be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could switch to Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

    If you are in a home environment or the local settings folder, then please ignore the above.

  • Cannot type in the address bar or search... even in safe mode

    I use Firefox for years, so I'm not new at this. I already tried in SafeMode... same problem... so who says this isn't an add-on / plugin problem. I have not installed brand new in any case within a period of time.

    The only thing I can think is playing the game DC Universe Online I could hit a key combination and I was check what competencies would be a good thing on the Web site and the tab then return in the game. But what combination of keys would prevent you from typing in the search bar or the address bar?

    I'm able to stick in the bar and in this way but if I type and copy it from another browser to search... I might as well just use this other browser.

    After much searching I found the answer here:

  • Cannot restore the toolbars as a message

    I adjusted the display sizes in order to fill out a web composition window and message on my screen and removed the unnecessary toolbars. Somehow to juggle the message form, the bar with Send and other buttons have disappeared. I rightclicked anywhere in the form to access the list of toolbars, but nothing worked, and everything I have is to, the subject and the toolbar for bold, etc.. I looked around for a way to restore the default message form, have not seen that there is a. And none of the Mozilla support Q & As were useful. So right now I have no way to send an email. HALP! And thanks to the 1 million advance.

  • I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

    Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1

    It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

    And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

    Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

    Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.
