• Can I disable the search-as-I-type in the search function of Firefox 4.0.1?

  The function of research-as-I-type in the new Firefox seems twisted. If I'm looking for the 'invisible' word in a Web page, it will first jump to any word starting with 'in' and highlight the Word as I have to, and then click the arrow in the "Search" window to add the search term. As soon as I add one of these, it then jumps to the next 'result' I have no interest in, and then click again in the field "search". He did a REALLY aggravating text search. Is there a way to disable this?

• Microsoft Support pages are not viewable in Firefox (I tried to disable the modules and plugins)

  When trying to view a Microsoft Support article, I see the following (attached). It lacks all the text. This seemed to be correlated with the installation of 35 Firefox or Google Chrome 40.
  It does not correctly in IE 11 either.

  I tried to disable modules and Flash enabled. I find it very strange. I use a strong security product, have the latest version of Flash Player (although I turned off after that I tried to reproduce the problem because there is currently a 0-day).

  Here is an example. (I tried several examples - including those of the previous months to see if it was a mistake to content at their end).

• Hijacked conduit Firefox search; Topic: Config disabled

  A new version of driving has hijacked my FireFox browser, among other things. Everytime I open a new tab, he returned to leads rather than my default to Google search engine. Any mistake of typing in a url sent me to bing via ducts. I used to be able to get in: config and solve these problems, but now, any attempt to do that simply sends me to bing. It is a horrible mess and continues to be, and FF users should block these redemptions of conduit.

  A note on what has been done before hitting the forum: Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware full scan, which found and removed a number of things, all related lines. Kapersky TDSSKiller and MMDA Chameleon found no problem.

  The "entrusted11" addon pretends to uninstall. The FF restarts, he was always there. In the meantime, I ran scan of Hitman Pro. It found and fixed several things led the others missed, as well as known malware. After a reboot of the machine, the Entrusted11 addon uninstall for real.

  Another problem: FireFox has been configured to use a proxy. I put that back to no proxy and redirects it to Bing went.

  Search for Reset the extension installed and ran, but something (popup of an icon in the bar of tasks or FF addon - they are close together and he quickly disappeared) blocked changes to the configuration of the home page. Reset manually under this kind of things: Tools-> Options-> general.

  Right-click on the icon of checkerboard newtab grew up the usual context menu for offline right click on web pages, without option to reset anything, BUT after using Hitman Pro and the reboot of the machine, this problem has cleared up.

  Internet Explorer is still hijacked, how Hitman Pro has not resolved all the problems on this machine. I want to use Firefox some time before calling this post solved.

• I have firefox 13 and 15 but realplayer download this video option does not work, extensions to save plugin is disabled, if no videos do not play in youtube

  I have Firefox 13 and real player 15, but the download this video option does not work, under extensions to save browser plugin is disabled, but if active videos do not play in youtube, error occurs, it's major drawback, it works well with IE, but I prefer Firefox so any help to rectify the issue is appreciated.

  One possibility is to upgrade to Flash 11.2 and re - activate the Plugin RealPlayer browser Record extension in the Add-ons Manager (Tools > Modules > Extensions) (it's a softblock).

  If you need to return to 11.2 Flash you can download Player Flash 11.2 through this direct link:

  • http://fpdownload.Macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/Current/Licensing/Win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe

  You must uninstall version 11.3 Flash.

• just downloaded firefox 8 and disabled mcafee site Advisor how to get back to version 7

  just downloaded firefox 8 and it disabled the Advisor site on my mcafee security suite. How to get back to version 7 until the site Advisor is compatible with version 8?

  Although I gave up on it for now, if you don't have a lot of extension, you can run it in Version 8, actually if you ran it 7, you're probably doing something else that activate. As their website says you a version number you suggest to reinstall and restart Firefox twice, see

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

  I have reactivated it as I had turned it off and it works, guess I'll try it for a few days now that I'm on 8.0. While the difference between what I ran on 7.0.1 this is I have reactivated earlier "McAfee Site Advisor" but then the main reason that I have no problems is that I avoid bad extensions.

  I see that it is not marked as compatible with 8.0 but many of my extensions are not anyway. I have

  extensions.checkCompatibility.8.0 set to false

  and my McAfee Site Advisor is 3.4.0

  The extensions that I use are listed hereand I actually have links with the compatibility reports it for each extension, but were not check things there for several months.
