Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen

OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!

I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.

I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.

I hope this helps.

    You have not been hacked.  Looks that you have installed the malware or adware programs on your hard drive, and it is at the origin of the result of your search be redirected to Yahoo.  You have two options to remove:

    • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac.  It was developed by an employee trust and respected here.  It is a simple and non-intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive.  That's all that.  It does nothing and is not take anything else.  Unlike the antiviruss protection programs, it does not work in the background of your computer, using the resources and also unlike anti-virus programs (which are not necessary on Macs), it is not actively prevent malware infections or adware.  Its only purpose is to remove them.
    • Restart your computer.  As of April 26, 2016, changes to the support article here-> stop the cAds in Safari - Apple charge El Capitan State removes adware when you connect, but only when connecting.  So, if you do not want to use Malwarebytes, it's another option for you.

    Then go to Safari preferences-> Extensions and remove any that you do not install or you don't need.  Then go to Safari preferences-> search, then reset your preferred Google search engine.  Finally, go to Safari Preferences-> general and make sure that your home page has not been changed and if she, change it back to what it was before.

  • Help: How can I change the default line by 15 to 100 page?

    Hello

    Our database table has a large amount of data. On the one hand of the error type column, we could have 1378 data for the type of the onr and our application need at least in spring to 100 or 200 per page in order to check and remove 100 lines. For example, if there are 400 lines of type VITA100 error data, using a page impression 100 lines, the user will erase the data 4 time using the button Delete. Now if the page print 15 ranks in time then the user erases data more then 25 times.

    The problem is because we have a lot of data and when I run the report, click the action button, go to the page by lines from the context menu and change to 100, APEX will freeze all trying to deal with this and it will always and it is painful to watch take everyday whithout changing. Page blocks all the time while this process does not work for us for this particular application. I can do for other applications that access the data that is on a 6000 lines. So for now, I need the mechanism to change lines with the attribute of paging and here, I don't have much to work with.

    Can someone help me how to change the line value default report down with the following icon at 100.

    Thank you.

    To set the number of lines shown as default value to a value other than 15.

    1. If the action menu is not enabled to activate the interactive report. Make sure 'Lines per Page' and 'Save the report' are checked.
    2. Now run the page and use the menu Action > lines per page to set the number of lines you want.
    3. Save the hollow new report the action menu.
    4. When you are prompted, choose to save "as a default report parameters".
    5. Then choose "primary".

    The number of lines displayed by default is now permanent has changed.

    If users are not allowed to use the action menu you can now turn off again.

    The record of the report as a default report parameters for the other settings of the action menu also works well.

    I was in the management of the computer and discovered a few troubling record, such as how he was following my use of the office. Worse, I couldn't find no way to enable or disable the newspapers, as the procedures I used XP Pro and 2K 3 server did not work.

    How can I disable logging of my use of Microsoft office, so that change the other settings for logging in Event Viewer? I had a class on the audit for XP & Server and I had to sometimes see newspapers located in a business environment (never had to do anything with Vista or 7 well) so I have a good idea of what to leave past generations of operating systems. How do I change however logging in Vista Home Premium? I can't access "local security policy" in my version of Vista.

    SlickRCBD salvation,

    There is no way to disable the use of Microsoft office in the event viewer.

    However if you want you can completely turn off event viewer of logging of all events performed on the computer by disabling the service on the computer Windows event log.

    (a) click on the start menu, type services.msc in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) click on services in the list now locate the Windows event log service

    (c) right-click on the service and click on disable

  • Can I change the Firefox menu to be vertical?

    The default firefox menu (open using the firefox menu key) is divided into two columns, and I was wondering if there is any way I can change the menu to be a single column, as the menu of google chrome?

    The style rules can change a lot of the UI of Firefox, but I don't know if you can combine the two columns, just using CSS or whether you need an add-on to do.

    This extension allows to remove individual items from the right, then add them to the left as two separate operations; It might take some time to do as you wish, and I'm not sure that the second column would be completely...

    Are there not such somewhere or an XML file that contains these entries?

    Firefox gathers information about the plugins of research from two sources - the default searchplugins folder that is shared by all profiles Firefox (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and the folder searchplugins in your active profile. They are combined into a data file named search.json.

    I read a few threads on the net about the modification of these search plugins, and it seems to require some trial and error. Assume that the ONO plugin is in your profile.

    Under help > troubleshooting information, you can click the open folder containing (pre-Fx12) or folder (Fx12) Show to open your folder of the currently active profile. Snap searchplugins. Here are the XML files you can edit in your favorite text editor. If you break one, you can probably just download again, but if you're a cautious type, go ahead and make a backup.

    After the change the short name and save and close the file, change your probably not will immediately appear in Firefox because some trigger event may be necessary to update search.json. If the restart of Firefox is not enough, you can try to rename search.json before restarting, but this can cause you to lose the keywords that you have assigned through the dialog box handle the search engines.

    In any case, it's all improvised that have not tried-TI-me-even, then I suggest to do some additional research.
