Configuration of the Firefox search bar

• Can I get the Firefox search bar for not automatically, go to the site of the search engine I spend?

  The Firefox search bar seems to have changed since the last update. I understand that things are changing constantly and get used to them, but I wonder if it is possible to change the rear bar to the way it was, or at least understand why it changed.

  Basically, I used to be able to switch from search engines by choosing from the drop-down list, and would not put me right at the site of this search engine. He didn't actually bring me to the site once I hit the search button (or enter). It's quite annoying to have to remember to open a new tab before changing search engines in order to avoid sailing away from the tab that you are currently on, and it's also annoying that when you open a new tab and change the search engines, you are immediately taken to the site of this search engine. It feels like an extra step (ranging from 'the empty tab search engine page to search result' instead of 'empty tab to search result').

  I know it sounds like a minor complaint, no doubt, but I'm really really curious to know why it was changed. More important, I want to know if there is a way to customize the way it was.

  Thanks for any help!

  Many users have been raising this issue. I mentioned the same question in this post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086138

  In summary, it seems that the Firefox team is not intend to bring back the ability to return to the old bar search, which was possible (but in a very biased way) in older versions of 42. For now, you can either:

  • Download module additional classic restaurateur theme to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/?src=ss and then select the old search option
  • Go back to Firefox 42 and set the browser.search.showOneOffButtons property in Subject: config. However, with older versions poses a risk to the security that you won't have bug fixes provided with version 43

  The search bar is usually by default, even if you will be able to search by other means. Drag it from the palette to customize if you need to change search engines.

• The firefox search bar does not work and when trying to manage search firefox engine crashes and I have to force to leave.

  My search bar does not work. I can enter text and the work of AutoFill, but when I hit enter or click the magnifying glass, nothing happens. (The address bar works). I can't change the search engine of google for other engines by default, but they are looking for either. When I open "Manage search engines" menu opens and I can make changes, but then he won't and I leave firefox to get the strength to normal navigation. It drives me crazy, please help! I tried to restart the search engine, my computer, changed such parameters suggested by other pages, but nothing helped. (Safari search bar works, but I don't use Safari, so I would really like to understand how to solve this problem).

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Is two weeks.

  I had this same problem. Couldn't Google to search in weeks bar. Drove me crazy.

  Does what you has proposed and made a new profile, but simply copied to a file or folder at a time in the new profile in the Finder and started the profile to test to see if it worked or not for Google.

  It came down to formhistory.sqlite. The second I put that in Trial, the Google bar stopped working. Found out it just saves your form history and past Google searches, so I'm ok with starting over on that. I'll just have to enter my address one more time on the next form I fill out.
  

  I tried just compensation history form and search in Firefox, but that does not solve, so I went ahead and made another new profile and replaced the formhistory.sqlite from this profile file my trial period. It worked, then I did the same thing with 'default '.

  Problem. Solved.

• When I double click on the Firefox search bar, a list of recent websites I have visited appears although the history is cleared - how can I stop this?

  Above is clear

  Does the location bar drop down list?

  If so that's the list that shows when you start typing in the address bar or from the list that appears if you click on the arrow down on the far right?

  It displays a list of Web sites that you typed or pasted into the address bar.

• How to make default in the address bar of research follows the selection of the top search bar right

  my default address bar search engine always uses google, back then, it searches in wikipedia when I use the wikipedia on the top right search engine bar even when I'm just typing "firefox" to search in the address bar, it will be automatically redirected to wikipedia search for "firefox".

  TL; Dr., how can I make a default address bar search engine follows the search engine in the search bar?

• Problem with the google in Firefox search bar

  Last week the google search bar began to do all the searching through the site google.nl Dutch. He has never done this before. I'm in England, and the search bar has always used google.co.uk by default. I don't know why this has changed. I have not modified any settings and I use the version the most up-to-date Firefox on my Windows laptop, 8. Change the settings of google through the google Web site does not help.

  Well, Google thinks he knows better than us...

  Perhaps it would work better to install a plugin for Google UK-specific search. This page has two options:

  http://mycroftproject.com/Google-search-plugins.html

  Look for these:

  • Google UK (SSL)
  • Google UK - United Kingdom (SSL)

  After installation, you should probably use the search bar drop-down list to select the new search plugin in the bottom of the list.

  You could also check your connection here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default "use system proxy" should piggyback on your LAN-Windows/IE settings, but you can also try the 'no proxy' to see if that changes anything.

• In the google search bar, how can I prevent search suggestions to disappear as soon as I move the mouse? Mac, Maverics, Firefox latest

  It is in the separate search bar, not the URL bar that can also be used as a search bar. It seems to happen only with selected Google. If I choose one of the other search engines to the search bar, then the problem goes away. I use the latest version of Firefox on Mac/Mavericks.

• The new search bar

  I generally use the search bar to get the work done. Today with the update, I noticed that Firefox has implemented a MAJOR change to the workflow here. The only problem is that it is exactly the opposite of the intuitive for me. Will there be a fix for this, or should I switch to chrome?

  To return to the change of research design bar, you can:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the Search and make a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.search.showOneOffButtons to true to false

  This does not affect the current window, but each new window that you open (Ctrl + n) will be the old search bar.

• The Google search bar is more related to Google, then when I try to search something nothing happens.

  The Google search bar in the top right contains more the search engine Google. I tried to add it by going to Google.com , but when I tried to add it, it does not recognize something to add. I also tried to go through the list of search engines provided by Firefox, but there is so much of different created by so many different people, I had no idea that who to choose.

  Click the arrow on the search bar and use the option "manage search engines" then use restore defaults, which include Google again in the drop-down list, and if you click on google it will become the default search engine.
