"Google search for...". "tab opens immediately, contrary to previously
As of this morning, I noticed that when I select some text on a page and bring up the context menu so that I can click on "search Google for []" it switches to the new tab with Google search, something that has never happened before and I do not wish to take place. I've not verified "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in the options and in fact, this problem does not occur with links, with the option of Google search. It is possible that this started three days ago when FF is automatically updated at 13.0, but I have not used the Google search option in the last days. Can someone tell me please how to fix this?
Thank you
Ellen
Hey ellenelle, you can enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox, confirm notification of information (where it appears), search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground & switch true by double-clicking it. that should bring back the old behavior...

Firefox (25.0.1) and Google worked well together until the 26/11/2013 when a guest user searched on Google. Google search still works fine on IE and Chrome. The problem is that Firefox and only with Google. Bing, Ask, Yahoo, Wikipedia all perform and appear as expected. Installs any recent or upgrades. No other search engine returns the results in a column on the left. It's as if the guest user drags it results to the left column and the display became the default. I can't restore the previous view. I restarted Windows. I reinstalled Firefox, but that has not solved the problem. I have disabled all addons (I didn't have any) and run in safe mode, the problem persists. Aspect is default 25.0.1

I am a user of Firefox 40.0.03. I put Google as a homepage of my start page and tabs. Lately, Firefox has started taking the freedom to change my preferences from Google to Yahoo preferences. In the last two days, I changed the setting from Yahoo to Google at least 10 times. But whenever I have shut down my system, Yahoo goes Google. I checked my system for any mischievous adware and Add-ons, but there are not.
I don't want to use Yahoo. Is it a policy of Firefox to push Yahoo down our throats?https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save

original title: "no preview available".
There are fixes for older versions, but not Windows 7, I can find. When I search the forums, the answers are pretty useless - along the lines of "well go on the forum of office" just because someone questioned the .doc files. It is an old problem, old with MS and covered needs in a reasonable manner.

Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page
http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42
Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.
Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.
A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.
Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?
Hello
If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:
- In the address bar, type Subject: config
and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:
- (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
- Menu
> Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general
Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»
Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

In the context menu, I want to always search for using Google dot CA, not dot COM
I already edited "keyword. URL"about: config that has failed to display the context menu when you highlight a term to search for and use the" Google search for...»
This works for typing the search term directly in the URL address bar, but not research in the context menu.
I have already selected Google. This example uses always dot com for the resulting search page that opens, I wanted to have it open with google dot ca.
I just discovered this module of MyCroft Project
Course to the bottom of this page, number 5, is the Google.ca search bar . Click on the previous link to add this engine to the FireFox search engines list (on the menu drop-down) went around, so I guess I solved my problem. See menu attached to capture. I hope this helps someone else, as it took me a while to find. It was not found in the standard modules, you can find the usual Mozilla several pages of Add-ons

Google search is not displayed correctly
Having used Firefox with Google search for years, I am dismayed that the combination is no longer works properly and I will have more in addition to using Google Chrome instead.
A basic Google search appears in the window, but the options that I used to have like - cards, images, UK pages only - do not show on that. This seems to have happened in Firefox 11 and 12.
Hello, how access you google - search through the default firefox homepage or the search or directly accessing bar to google.com? and how is the starwebsearch [dot] com, you have named as a page hit, playing in the question...?

How to search for a particular word by selecting multiple text files
Hello
I have hundreads of text files and I need to search a particular word in these bunch of txt files.
How do so by selecting all files and search for the word. I do not want to open each file and search for the word.
I use Windows 7 here.
Please suggest.
Thank you...
Anand
I don't think that we are able to select the files to search, but what you can do, is have all files in a folder that is searched for. Open a window for the folder that contains the files and use the Windows search box in the upper right of this window. If you are looking for 'bread', enter:
content: bread
At the same time, if you want to restrict the search to the txt files, then enter
content: bread ext:txt
