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.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • 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 search from the address bar of Safari

  • 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:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/947513

    «Some have reported that one or several times by pressing the F9 + Windows worked to solve problems with typing in Firefox bar does not.»

  • Strange behavior when searching from the address bar

    Hi all! I tried to remove google as the default search provider in firefox. To do this, I did these two things-

    -Duckduckgo moved to the top of the list in the firefox search box and set it as the current research.

    -Put the URL 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q=' keyword and keyword.enabled to true.

    However, this makes my search from the location bar (single word and several Word channels) still return google.

    There seems to be something to do with the entry of google search into the firefox search bar. If I remove that, it behaves as expected - single word searches then return an error "Cannot find server" (not quite what I wanted but probably correct behavior) and several Word searches go to Duckduckgo.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem without removing the option of completely google search would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    It is supposed to function as described in this article, it seems that you have followed: search bar location | How | Firefox Help. I see no reason for the presence or absence of a plugin of search engine related. You have additional modules that could touch location bar behavior?

    You can try this: create a clean profile Firefox. Which will work around the current modules and custom, settings have fresh data bases of fresh settings and a cache folder.

    Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in the management profiles. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box.

    Change your keyword preferences and see if they work in the new profile. A little luck?

  • desertdave760 why doesn't the URL frequently disappears from the address bar?

    Thus, for example, here, this page is not the address in the address bar. If I wanted to send the site to someone, I have to go to IE (God forbid) and retype the url there.

    This happens for many but not all sites, I'm sure. He says now, search or enter the address

    It's strange. "Search or enter the address" appears if you delete the current address, but if you click in the address bar and press the ESC key it should display immediately again (Esc cancels the change).

    This text appears also with a few built-in Firefox pages, like the homepage and the new tab page. But for the 'real' web pages, you should see the address.

    In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    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

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    Also, maybe it's not relevant to you, but sometimes users have a bookmark that opens a page in the sidebar to the left in the main part of the tab instead of. The address bar displays only the address of the main part of the tab. If your Firefox seems to have a split screen (left-right), that might be the problem.

    I've just updated Safari to 9.0.3 this morning.
