Cannot search with the address bar of firefox

COR - el and another person suggested bugs. None worked. As suggested by Cor - el, I now get keyword enabled as TRUE. Research still does not work. It changes search word to a URL, however - a step in the right direction perhaps.
Sorry, I could not put it in a replt thread, but it would not allow me.

Hello

Try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/

The add-on that above is very simple: when installing, it backs up then resets your search and preferences of the home page to their default values, and then to uninstall. This affects the search bar, search bar URL, and the home page.

It will be useful.

  • 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 search from the address bar of Safari

    For some reason any since this morning when I type a search term in the address bar of Safari and press ENTER, the browser does nothing. Previously, it would do a search or go to the entered URL.

    I disabled all extensions Safari, no joy. It works only if I'm in Safari preferences and on the Search tab I uncheck Include of Suggestions of Safari.

  • I want to search in the address bar

    I have the new firefox 43, when I type things in the bar recipient, my most used web sites pop up at the top and I press down arrow once and get the website, I want, but now article 1 is always the search option, I don't don't need or want it to be there I have a search to the search bar.

    How do I 100% completely remove the search from the address bar icon so that the 1st item in the list goes back to be web addresses?

    PS I also find it very disconcerting that during this update we asked me if I wanted to search option/suggestions in the address bar and I said no, but when I was looking into options to get rid of this 'new' this option has been activated.

    What others of my preferences during the installation you just ignore?

    This is a new feature in Firefox 43. To turn it off to do this:

    1. Go about: config in Firefox
    2. Click on the I'll be careful button
    3. Locate the Boolean browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
    4. Change the false value

    Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

  • Why there Chinese looking characters in the address bar of Firefox after I disconnect from my gmail account?

    I stopped using Firefox when I became aware of a worm that had been prevalent. Recently, I used new Firefox instead of Internet Explorer or GoogleChrome, but now, I'm afraid that my computer may have been compromised because of China looking for characters in the address bar of Firefox, after that I registered on my gmail account.

    This has happened

    Just once or twice

    Is see above story

    If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the title bar of Firefox or Windows task bar, then that can happen if Firefox go to encoding UTF-16 for some reason any.

  • 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:

There is a short bar that has appeared on the lower line of the header, as well as an ixquick search box which is also new. How to dispose of Delta & ixquick and get the Awesome bar back?

    The boring latest Firefox update separated the menu bar and address two bar and moved the address bar below my tabs, nor what is logical or useful and wastes space. How can I combine them?

    Christopher,

    Sorry, there is nothing for Mozilla to 'fix', the new UI Australis works as expected. I'm not satisfied with these changes, as a number of talented developers who have spent a lot of time creating extensions to correct that some of us don't like the new UI.

    This door extension on most of the changes in the new user interface, and what it does not there can be an extension separated for that, too.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

    To meet these specific issues that you mentioned in your first posting, the menu bar is not really necessary to have on the screen all the time. If you hid it, you can press Alt to only show. In addition, many of the main menus on the menu bar are available from the button Menu to open '3-bar "; something new for the user is to become familiar with.

    It is always possible to personalize then move buttons to toolbar on the Menu bar, if you want to display the Menu Bar all the time.

    The menu bar and address bar have always been distinct by default, but unfortunately the ability to "Customize" the address bar (on which the address bar is a part of) has been considerably limited compared to previous versions of Firefox.

    Regarding the location of the 'tabs band', he called "The tabs at the top" and was already the default for some versions of Firefox. This Museum is the hidden preference (browser.tabs.onTop) , which allowed the user to turn off this preference.

    These two extensions add this pref in versions of Firefox 29 +:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/fdgueux-tabs-on-bottom/

    Just as the Restorer of classic theme, but without the other proposed changes to the CTR.

    In closing, Mozilla has made studies on how Firefox users using Firefox, and how they have changed the Firefox; the results showed that a minority of users changed anything about Firefox. And a super minority of users of Firefox went as far to change the user interface, like the poster in this thread we're talking.

    I am part of this "great minority", I tend to 'customize the hell' of Firefox. And I'm working on a solution to many changes, while avoiding the use of extensions when possible; Although my solutions do not involve change "Tabs at the top", which is a change, I welcomed in Firefox 4.0.

  • If you see Firefox full screen can you get a toolbar preferred to appear with the address bar?

    When you put Firefox in full screen all toolbars disappear. When you hover over the top of the screen in the address bar and appear bar "open tabs. Is it possible to get the toolbar Favorites to appear as well?

    If not, is there another way to access the Favorites without having to close Firefox?

    You can do this in two ways. Full screen, press CTRL + I to display the bookmarks in the sidebar (repeat to disable).

                                             - or-

    in the top address bar, type Subject: config and press ENTER.

    In the filter at the top, and paste the following: browser.fullscreen.autohide

    Double click it to change from True to False, and then close the tab.

    Full screen, tabs and toolbars subsequently remains visible.

  • How can I change the size of the address bar in firefox 18?

    I want to make the address bar much smaller and much bigger search bar (I want still allows them to use the full width of the toolbar). I read elsewhere in the forums that you can change the size of the bar by going to CUSTOMIZE and once the cursor turns into a cursor resize, click and drag. However, who has worked for me with previous versions of Firefox. Since I had to upgrade, the cursor remains a helping hand and never becomes the arrow resize.

    No, you don't have to go to customize mode.

    You need to do it in normal mode and hover the mouse between the two bars.

  • 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?

  • automatic search in the address bar does not work

    I used to be able to type a word in the address bar (or rental) and I would like to get done for the best site that google might think. If I typed 'dogs' in there and press ENTER, I would go to the dog of wikipedia page. If I type "hotmail", I'll get sent to hotmail.com. This happens either. Now I just get the google search results for the keyword that I entered. I tried to go to about: config and ensuring that the keyword.url is default and I tried different things with the browser.fixup stuff, but nothing works. All this happened when I updated firefox too, so I think that's the problem. What can I do to fix and recover?

    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.
