  • How can I change the default search engine in firefox 14?

    I tried to change my default search engine, does not. A read a lot of the help file, but it seems that none of the recommendations had jobs. The problem is in the search box in the upper right where the default from now (the search engine when I open firefox for the first time) is Yahoo. I had tried to change it to goggle by clicking on the drop down arrow and select a new search engine, but does not take effect. Yahoo is still in effect so that the search engine despite this change. I also followed the advice of some to change the default engine by typing "subject: config" in the address bar and some values but still after the opening and closing firefox again, Yahoo is still the default search and could be that the change by selecting from the drop-down search menu.

    Thank you for your answer but I managed to fix the problem already. What I did is to select from the dropdown to Ask.com (it seems that it is the only option that work) a window appeared asking me what a search engine change was made, and if I would use Ask.com to be the search engine or to maintain using Yahoo.com. I chose to use Ask.com and disable the protection on the search engine. Toke effect change and after that I could change from the drop down list a search engine like Google. I put a note above in parenthesis closed, that it seems Ask.com works as I tried before to change the search engine Google, but no window came to ask me if I want to change the default search engine.

    Once again thanks a lot to you two, for the reply and for your precious time to try to solve this problem.

  • How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

    Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

    Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
    Remove the Yahoo toolbar

    1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
    2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
    3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

    Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

    1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
    2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
    3. filter by keyword
    4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    5. filter on defaulturl
    6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    7. filter on ytff
    8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

    Avoid problems: Several software installations contain additional baggage called crapware. The Yahoo toolbar is packed with Java photo

    More information on ask.com, Yahoo toolbars that involve extensions, changes not only the home page.

    More information about the configuration variables available in
    topic: config entries and for users who do not know the process, there is Subject: config (how to change).

  • How can I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?

    I tried the subject: solution of config and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google, but it has changed to a random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. Is there no option in the menu dropdown. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I wonder why it is so difficult to change something like that. There should be a button for those of us who are not computer savvy. Am getting irritated that I can't just look for something more.

  • How can I change the default search engine in Firefox 31.0

    The icon to the left of the search box seems to have disappeared. What now?

    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.

    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.

    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)

    I don't want to use Google or Bing. How can I make show DuckDuckGo (or a similar search engine privacy protection-oriented) as the default option when I search something?

    You must go to settings > search and you should have a form to select your favorite search engine.
    If you're on Firefox OS 1.3 or lower, you cannot change your search engine, Google is the only one.

    Hello jonhon8, this looks like a problem that can be caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspect entries (toolbars, the things that you do not have intentionally, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from here and do a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place or another tool like the free version of malwarebytes.

    then install the reset search addon - he will return the most common customizations of these default firefox adware programs: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

  • How can I change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    The new tab in Firefox 33 zoom is too high to see all 12 of my thumb nail. I changed it using ctrl - but the next time I opened a new tab, the zoom is 100%. How can I change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    I posted a style rule to shrink the tiles, which allows several of them on the page, but naturally reduces their legibility. You can experiment with the dimensions to find a look that works for you.

    https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

    I use the Stylish extension to experiment because of its preview function that allows me to see the effect quickly. You can install it from the site of modules, then after restart of Firefox while searching for his "S" icon in the toolbar to manage Styles so you can edit and experiment.

  • How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.?

    How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.. My Samsung intensity II is what I need it for; I want to shoot to the top of this window asking me what to do when I plug in, but one day, I was not thought and press on 'No Action' with the "always perform this action for this device" (or said something like that) checkbox checked.

    Once it is connected, go to my computer, and your camera photo or anything else that should be there.  If is isn't, it is a completely different issue.  It's done, right-click on it and select Properties.  Click the AutoPlay tab.  There is a version of dialogue enough of this "window asking me what to do."  You can figure out what to do from there.
