• Default search engine & homepage

  I think I have a bug.

  I have my default homepage set to MSN and Google search engine.  Since yesterday, whenever I open Safari, it opens on the Yahoo search engine.  Even when I do a search.  I checked the preferences of Safari and it still says MSN for the Home Page and of Google for my default search engine.

  Unfortunately I don't have time capsule implemented so I don't think I can go back in time and reset for a first date... or can I?

  Click here and follow the instructions, or if you do not delete rather manually the adware, launches MalwareBytes for Mac.

• If Google is my default search, can I go and change it if I want to do a search for GMaps; only the default is in the search drop-down list.

  If Google is my default search, can I go and change it if I want to do a search for GMaps; only the default is in the search drop-down list.
  So I have to change the default to Google Maps then back to Google to search for one.

  I have it! It's the topic: config "hiddenoneoffs" where the 3 elements of google, maps and mcafee have been included. There was no space between Google and maps. I put one in from Google Maps. She appeared in the first box-ff, but not sure about the search in the second time zone. I went back to the subject: one-offs. Safe search was shown with a space after Secure. I took out the space. Safe search arose in the 2nd single search box!
  Weird! This is contrary to how they show in the search parameters.
  Can I have messed that when Firefox has been reset all the search engines on an update, but I do not.
  Either incidentally, I tried to re-installation characteristic but the file comes down as a .dmg that I'm not familiar with and don't apparently is 8.0 to win because he couldn't open it. Thank you once again.

• How can I select 'search yandex' as a default search in the night Navigator engine 44.0a1 x 64

  How can I select 'search yandex' as a default search in the night Navigator engine 44.0a1 x 64?

  Now, I see a lot of search engines but did not have "yandex".

  And how do I install elements of Yandex, when this may be available?

  If you are not able to install a search plugin for Yandex from the modules or Mycroft site, you can try to install one on the site (this works in Firefox 41, I have not tested in every night):

  Visit https://www.yandex.ru/ and notice that there is a green circle with a + on it on the search bar of Firefox. Click on that and then find the line on the menu drop down to add the site as a search engine.

  I have attached a screenshot, but since I can't actually read the language, I apologize if it's totally another thing.

  To make Yandex your default, you can use the link at the bottom of the Panel to the Options page search section.

  Success?

  Regarding Yandex elements, is the problem that Yandex has not presented the extension to be signed by the team of Add-ons? It's something that you might feel free to encourage them to do.

• How Swagbucks my default search engine?

  When I turn on my default search engine, Swagbucks is not one of the choices. Visit this site did not do anything to add to the list of search engine options. It seems that Firefox only wants me to choose among search engine options they list - or what I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  I had a look at Swagbucks and it doesn't seem to be a search engine, but a site that you must register to use.

  I think they have an extension that you can install that will allow this feature to link, but be aware that it is installed from outside the site of the add-on and may include banner ads in the browser.

• How can I configure 'Bing' as my default search

  Google is set up as my default search engine, I want that Bing as my default!

  You can control and manage search engines installed in "Options/Preferences > search.

• search options disappeared after updating firefox to address the slowness. How to make a comeback (there is no default search engine and no option)?

  the search box (with a magnifying glass to the left of it) is completely insensitive and there is no search option in the options of the menus/screens. Assistance from the address field in the search bar appears only intermittently to perform an Internet search for key words. a solution would be greatly appreciated.

  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:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  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.

• 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.
  Thanks for your replies.

• No default search engine

  I installed freeware who hijacked my search. He removed all the default search engines and left only bing which was then my default. I managed to get off the list of bing and google added so I can search. It is not my preferred search tool. I can't find my favorite search, yahoo, as an add-on. The search engines of restoration tool is grayed out. I tried a reset Add-ons - nothing works. I use Windows 7. Should I reinstall firefox?

  Actually, I figured out where the folder for the default search engines was and replaced it with another copy. The oldfirefox file I had reset was empty.

  This used to be a piece of freeware confidence.

• Yahoo was made to my default search engine.

  I tried countless different methods of deleting files Spigot, wajam files, but I can't seem to go in. Chrome doesn't have this problem. I love Mozilla, but I'll pass if I can't get this resolved. The source of my problems was download Bittorent. I removed Bittorent, Spigot and wajam. But that will change my default search engine. I remove Yahoo as option and changed it to Google. I reset my computer, but Yahoo is still there. Normally I don't mind Yahoo, now I'm furious because of the principle of the matter. Help, please.

  Hi David, able to reset your home page you use the steps in these articles:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  Your selected page should appear when you launch a new window (Ctrl + n).

  • If you go back to Options and your setting was not justified, you may have something called SearchProtect on your computer. Which must be removed through the control panel.
  • If your setting is retained, but the new windows ignore, an extension can still be in control. Please see those again.
  • If Ctrl + n is good, but your icon or the shortcut of Firefox launches the wrong page, check to see if the shortcut has been hacked (see steps below).

  To check the shortcut: right-click > properties > Shortcut tab (if it is pinned to the taskbar, you need to right-click > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties > Shortcut tab.) For 64-bit Windows 7, the 'target' should be either not less the following:

  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
  

  Anything after this could force Firefox to launch a specific page.

• 36 Firefox: How can I KEEP my choice of default search engine and Yahoo Search?

  Firefox 36 insists now that I use Yahoo search constantly changing my default search engine choice. No matter now many times I put it for Google, I'll get something Yahoo and it's once again. I have Yahoo not checked in the search preferences, hoping that it will not be displayed again. Have restarted Firefox several times. No luck.

  My last resort is to REMOVE Yahoo Search my list of search engines to prevent that from happening? I MIGHT want to use some time later, but not every day.

  ALSO. If it's important, when I filled this question with 'installed plugins' information on my Mac and Firefox, a witness appeared, so I went to tools > Modules. This screen appeared for a second and instantly has far to another screen: DNS Yahoo Error Handler who had "garmin communicator plugin icon developer" entered in the search query box. My web experience is now taken by Yahoo?

  Hmm, it sounds like you have some kind of hijacker in your Firefox. Try this:

  Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • Tools menu > Modules

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or if it is obviously the badware, delete).

  If Firefox is redirected at this point, see the next section.

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Who help me?

  If Firefox is unable to use the addons page, you may need to block extensions using the Mode without failure of Firefox. 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).

  Can remove you it?

• I keep getting invited to set Yahoo as default search engine, but it already is, so I have to keep refreshing Firefox.

  All the few weeks that I have to update Firefox to get rid of the box that asks me to set Yahoo as my default search engine. But it already is and I click Yes or no I always wonder. It's more than annoying. How to solve this problem?

  If you want to get rid of this "nag" - get rid of this extension of the Yahoo toolbar, which is clearly the source of this message. Or see Yahoo support to know how to remove this message within this extension.

• How to search the selected text with a default search engine?

  Hello

  Before the recent update of the search bar, you can select your 'current' search engine, and a search for the selected text (right click on the selection) would use this engine.

  Now, it seems that you can only search for the selected text using the default engine. If that is correct, it's a big step backwards for me. For example, I can't have Google as my default search engine and the search for a text selected on eBay!

  Or am I missing something?

  Thank you!

  R.

  I find this extension very useful for selected items in the web pages. It offers all your search engines with select > right click.

  It seems that your localization of Firefox no longer has the default Yahoo search plugin.

  Scroll down to 16. Key drivers and select the search plugin from Yahoo appropriate for your locale.
