  • Search engine box change also affects the default search engine in the URL bar

    I've just updated to 23.0, and for some reason, change the search engine in the search box also changes the default search engine in the URL bar as well. I don't know if it's intended functionality (I hope that's not), but it is a bit irritating. I didn't know if it was related to an add-on that I installed it at the same time, so I tried to turn that off, but the problem was still there. so I tentatively guess it has to do with 23.0.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • How can I choose the default search engine in the address window?

    You explain how to change the 'address bar' default search engine at the top right. I want to know how to change the search engine in the address at the top window to the left. Currently, if I type in an address not recognized, my ISP search engine will appear. I'd rather have the search engine of Google or Bing when I make a mistake of addressing.

    You can have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS search fails.

    Who takes control of Firefox to search with the normal keyword like a Google, I'm lucky search.

    In this case, you will need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS to opt-out of this feature.

    You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

  • A search engine click always uses the default search engine

    In the search bar, I type the word London and press enter and get the results of a search Google (default search engine).
    I click on the magnifying glass to open the search drop-down list and click the icon for Wikipedia (to perform a search on Wikipedia for the word London). However, the results are not Wikipedia but are the same as my previous research on Google. The only way I can get the research to be done on Wikipedia is to change Wikipedia to my default search engine.
    Am I misunderstand how the search with a single click is supposed to work, or you can tell me what I need to change to make it work?
    Thank you

    Using the arrow keys or tab to the search engine icon had the same result by clicking on the icon to directly search engine, any search engine was selected the search is always performed by the default search engine.
    Running in Mode safe solves the problem
    Classic deactivation restaurateur theme does not solve the problem, but disabling 'Tab control 0.5.5' solve the problem . In the reviews of this add-on a few users have mentioned this as a problem. I've removed "Tab control" as an add-on (even though I liked some of its features) because it is no longer maintained.

  • I don't want Bing as my default search engine. I've tried everything, and it won't go away. What can I do?

    No matter what I do - I tried my search engines, the reorganization remove Bing in the list, all together, ranging up to about: config and change all values from Bing to google.comand even reset Firefox - every time that I reopen it Firefox, Bing is always my default search engine. I really want to get rid of and have Google be my default and stay there even when I closed and reopened Firefox, but I don't know what else to try.

    There is software like Advanced SystemCare thanks to its surf Protection feature that allows to protect the files in the folder of Firefox profile against the changes.
    If you have this software, then check the settings or uninstall this software.

    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

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    I noticed that if I manually change the search provider (thru the interface), then this value changes from 'default' to 'user set', which retains google as the default search engine. So how do I either set this value as 'user set' within mozilla.cfg, or use some alternative?

  • How can I change the default search engine in firefox 14?

    I tried to change my default search engine, does not. A read a lot of the help file, but it seems that none of the recommendations had jobs. The problem is in the search box in the upper right where the default from now (the search engine when I open firefox for the first time) is Yahoo. I had tried to change it to goggle by clicking on the drop down arrow and select a new search engine, but does not take effect. Yahoo is still in effect so that the search engine despite this change. I also followed the advice of some to change the default engine by typing "subject: config" in the address bar and some values but still after the opening and closing firefox again, Yahoo is still the default search and could be that the change by selecting from the drop-down search menu.

    Thank you for your answer but I managed to fix the problem already. What I did is to select from the dropdown to Ask.com (it seems that it is the only option that work) a window appeared asking me what a search engine change was made, and if I would use Ask.com to be the search engine or to maintain using Yahoo.com. I chose to use Ask.com and disable the protection on the search engine. Toke effect change and after that I could change from the drop down list a search engine like Google. I put a note above in parenthesis closed, that it seems Ask.com works as I tried before to change the search engine Google, but no window came to ask me if I want to change the default search engine.

    Once again thanks a lot to you two, for the reply and for your precious time to try to solve this problem.

  • How can I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?

    I tried the subject: solution of config and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google, but it has changed to a random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. Is there no option in the menu dropdown. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I wonder why it is so difficult to change something like that. There should be a button for those of us who are not computer savvy. Am getting irritated that I can't just look for something more.

    Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

    1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
    2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
    3. filter by keyword
    4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    5. filter on defaulturl
    6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    7. filter on ytff
