Google and Wikipedia and possibly other search engines, have suddenly disappeared as a choice in the search bar
I'm fairly certain that Google has always been my default search engine when you search using the address bar, but it has been switched to Yahoo Search.
I tried to follow the suggestion to open the box to "Manage search engines" and clicking on the button "Restore default settings", but the button is grey and inactive. I then installed the SearchReset 0.2 Add on, which had another solution found in the recommended Firefox Help. This changed my homepage on the default setting and deleted Yahoo as search engine when you use the address bar (even if the research is now not possible at all here), but it has not reset the search somehow bar, and Google and Wikipedia are not always listed as a choice. Also, search Reset didn't uninstall properly said, as he is still listed as an add-on, even if the description on the homepage SearchReset says that this will happen automatically.
I mention also that, at the same time, the search bar, difficulties began, the 2.2.2 ForecastFox add-on has stopped working and has disappeared from the status bar, but I was able to restore by disabling everything first and then allowing him once again. Also, until I was able to restore ForecastFox, Firefox would crash, whenever I clicked on "Manage search engines", but this crash has not happpened for ForecastFox has been restored. Weird!
"This Solution has worked for me" "
Dear GBinHoosick
All of a sudden all my search engines by default FireFox search missing. Sweet Im has been replaced... The fix for me was quite simply after a search for hours for many who did not.
I went to C: program Files\MozillaFirefox... I noticed there are two folders that says SearchPlugins, which was empty, and Searchplugins (2) which contains all of the default values, Google, Yahoo etc. I copied these Searchplugins (2) of and stuck looking for Plugins and the problem resolved.
Hope this works for you too

Adobe Muse: Web design.
Where did my design go? I created 4 pages for Web design and I was finishing up the home page, all the other 3 pages have simply disappeared, the layers are empty? I spent 4 days design that... How to make that back?
I restarted the laptop,
creates a new document and quickly made 3 new pages... and yet once... These pages have disappeared?
Please provide a quick solution for me because I have to present my work to the customer.
Did you remove all traces of high level in the layers (i.e. "layer-1") Panel?
When something like you describe is reported, most often the user does not understand the layers of high level exist across all pages and updates on the page of your site. If you delete "Layer 1" you may remove the content of all pages of your site.

Is this really the case with the free player, the clients can access is no longer a PDF to add comments and mark out? We have always used a PDF file for the reviews of books/documents, but now we hear customers that there is no way to add comments and annotation. Please let me know if this is the case, or if there is a solution
'' If '' they use the free software Adobe Reader and "If" there is no security prevent this, he should be able to add comments.
It'll be hard to say what's wrong without more details such as what exact version of the reader they use, they open the pdf file in a browser or in the player itself and what exactly happens when they try to add comments.

I PasswordBox as an add on and all of a sudden it does not appear in the menu bar.
Yesterday, I had no problem using PasswordBox to my favorites. Now, it appears in the addon and it says it works, but icon in the menu bar disappeared. I am not able to connect to my favorites. That's happened? I tried to copy the page addon showing this add on, but it didn't work.
PasswordBox unfortunately not updated to work with Firefox 40 (last update was in May). The former used extension module 'widget' to add the button to the toolbar and the module no longer exists in Firefox.
Do not hesitate contact Intel/McAfee to find out what are their plans to update this extension, as other users also ask and we'd love to know.
If your online life cannot continue without PasswordBox, you go back to Firefox 39.0.3, keeping in mind the problems of security. This article contains more information: install an older version of Firefox.

Hi markehrmann,
I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.
Hope this helps!

REFERENCE DELL GX60 SFF
OK hear goes: Windows Xp Home edition, ver.2002 was SP2. Celeron (R) CPU 2.4 GHz intel 2.39 GHz 512 MB RAM
OK you can stop laughing now. I know its out of date and I know that I will eventually improve windows (getting another computer at the moment), is
not an option. Now, my relic worked fine good healthy and not too fast, but it got me where I should go. Mainly to pay my bills, print them
play games, etc.; you get the idea. somehow, well I ended up losing several programs and not knowing what I was done, I decided to reinstall
Windows XP and also to install SP3 (bad decision!). I didn't know that my copy of resettlement was not installing many drivers, you had to put them
yourself! Needless to say, I fumbled my way through, but I can not all sounds, oh I get this 'static' loud and clear when I turn the speakers off voltage
but that's all. I've tried everything. Also, when I go into Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers, it shows
Audio codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy devices of video Capture, media control and Codecs video (whatever that means).
And when I opened the system devices, there is a yellow exclamation point in front: Intel (R) E75/25/E7520 DMA controller - 3594. (phew!).
Well, I hope I gave you enough info.cause, I'm not that knowledgeable about computer technology. (I'm sure it's obvious LOL) In any case
Sir/Maam are unwilling to detach "sexist". I'll let you go, hope you can give me help on this issue, if I could I would just get a new one
but I am living young 71 on S.S. Disibility and simply ends. Not complaining do not. I am blessed. You have a wonderful and blessed
day.

I have two computers at home and their improved to 29 of Firefox not knowing it contained UI heavy Exchange. I use the menu, bar and it is now superimposed on the title bar, where due to a visual disability, I can no longer see. Both systems have contrasting colors lit (white on a black background - forget Aero and trick themes), and Firefox is configured to use the system colors.
Prior to version 29, the menu bar has white text on a black background. now it's on a background of colorful and almost completely invisible to me. The expansion is via the Windows Magnifier and Magnifier added to some Microsoft mouse top of range.
As you can see on a brand new Virgin of installation of Firefox, no addons, no pre-existing profile, version 29 puts the menu bar on the taskbar. And Firefox, set up as I have, on a configured system with contrasting colors (black in my case) enabled, Firefox is unthemeable.
But no matter, I Solver this myself. I started in XP and not update Firefox to find a new addon named "Classic theme restaurant" Who did the trick. This mark as resolved. But...
I wish (not just Firefox) developers who want to fancy to the top of their interfaces would think how it would affect people with visual impairments. We use computers too.
