How can I disable the automatic search when text is accidentally pasted on the main window (not the address bar)?

This happens, for example, by filling out a form on a web page. I intend to copy/paste the text in a form input box, but I accidentally stick outside of the box. This causes Firefox search spam based on my text.

Can it be disabled?

This is not the default behavior of Firefox as far as I KNOW.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

You can also try to rename or delete the file prefs.js and possible prefs - numbered # .js and a user.js file possible to reset all default prefs or check for associated user defined prefs on the topic: config page.

  • How can I get the address bar does not redirect me?

    Since the recent update for Firefox 36.0.1, a URL typed on the address bar is now taking me to a website where I can buy this unused domain name (buydomains.com). This is not where I want to go. I have no intention to buy a domain name; I don't particularly appreciate receive advertising in response to my fault for typing. What I would like is a good, not old Error 404 to tell me that I looked for something that didn't exist. How can I prevent the address bar to send me off, in the arms of the advertiser, but get just a 404 instead of this message?

    Hello

    I have to fully understand and appreciate the magnificence of a 404 error. He immediately told you what you wanted to know - that the site is not found!

    What you see is where the registration and ownership of the site was passed to the registry which is owner of the domain. The site is located, it is just acting as an announcement of the person who is the owner of the URL so that they can sell or resell.

    The address bar works as it should - it displays the URL as requested - it's just not the preferred outcome. One way you can get around this is use a parental control addon and include the name of the registry in the watchlist (or edit list so that it is the only entrance). She stops at the page to display. (Link) is an example of the kind of addon, that you could use.

  • The address bar disappears when the cursor is in the middle or the bottom of the page. How can I make the address bar to stay constantly?

    When you open mozilla, when the cursor is not at the top of the page, I do not see:

    (2) front and rear buttons
    (3) office toolbar

    So, in short i can only see the adress bar when i move the cursor to the top of the page. Desktop toolbar doesn't seem at all when the mozilla internet page is open. How can i solve this?

  • How can I disable the "Awesome Bar" altogether. I don't want any of this feature.

    I WANT an address bar. I DON'T WANT an "Awesome Bar". In previous versions of FF, I was able to NOT SEARCH from the address bar. Now [FF 24 vs FF 17] I can not disable this rather undesirable behavior.

    I solved the problem...
    There was misconduct 'key' left by installing and removing a toolbar for the search engine. The tag has been removed from "subject: config ', and the behavior of the browser scheduled is back. It would appear that perhaps some of the 'key' tags have been renamed since my last version - which may explain why the wandering behavior began with an update of the browser.

    EDIT: BTW - the 'nothing' parameter should be set a monitoring framework that is not able to be changed by any other means. It must be set to replace all other behaviors. Moreover, it would be nice to have a Visual sense that obtained research is implemented off - by activating / disabling the default text in a "white" address bar of "search or enter the address" of "enter the address / search off»

  • How can I get the address bar to have dimmed parts?

    I left firefox update, and now my address bar are all gone except the name of the domain. It's annoying, because it is more difficult to read the rest of the URL. How can I get it back to normal?

    You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled false on the topic: config page.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
    • Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
    • Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.
  • How can I disable the tab bar in FF 24 when a window is open?

    I've just updated to 24.0 FF FF 20 with Tab Mix Plus already installed. (OS X 10.6.8) In the menu Preferences of Firefox, tabs box, I put the "hide the tab bar: ' option ' when I as one tab.» I also spent the Tab Mix Plus option button and the drop-down list for the same value. Unfortunately, it has not the desired effect. Firefox opens to my home page with a tab at the bottom. (I prefer the tabs down and this setting still works). With only an open page, this tab is completely useless, takes me space, and simple bugs.

    Now, here's what I found. Once I started Firefox, if I go to the Tab Mix Plus options box and select "Hide tab bar: always" and set the option to return to "When I have only a single tab" I can enjoy a page without the tab bar, that is, until I've opened many tabs and then closed all but one. So I see the tab bar remain stubbornly. An incompatibility between FF and Tab Mix Plus, maybe. Is FF 24 leaving no Tab Mix show the number of open tabs? Don't know. But I can't seem to solve.

    Well, never mind, I found yet another addon to fix this. So-called acurately enough, Hide Tab Bar with a tab 1.1 - I recommend it. Unlike Firefox, it works as expected.

    My advice to the developers of Firefox is to allow users to do everything. Most don't mind and will be happy with the default settings, but those of us who have MARKED preferences and there are many of us, we continue to be very frustrated with these new arbitrary limits on the options.

    Solved by myself, with the help of the man who wrote the extension. A big thanks to them.

  • How can I have the address bar also be the search bar?

    How can I do in firefox address bar being the same as Chrome - it acts as the area of research as well as the address box

    I hate having to hit tab or use my mouse to move to the search bar

    Chrome: I love how just type anything and just hit return - it will do a search using your search engine

    YES: I know that if you add ' google: "all that you want to search, then the same behavior is created

    But having to type 7 characters is a little too much for me!

    Y at - it a software plugin that modifies the behavior?

    I'll be honest, because of this unique feature, I use Chrome instead of Firefox - I always use Firefox, 10% of the time - but it's because of other reasons

    Thank you

  • How can I disable the mini-bar of scrolling that appears randomly when scrolling?

    ProBook 4310 s, Windows 7

    When scrolling, a small scrollbox appears randomly and that he's taking me away from the page I'm scrolling on.  This happens when I use the small plate square to scroll.  It's the only 'function' most irritating of any computer I have ever owned or used, and I wish I could turn it off.  How to do that please?

    Hi Taxlady:

    I found the solution myself.  You have to start HP Support Assistant and choose the resolution of problems (the second of the four options, my copy is in Swedish so it may not be called Problem Solving but something similar).  Then choose the devices, one on the middle of the bottom row and the following Configuration for mouse and .  Here, you will get a new window with a menu five point on the left.  These elements will be something like:

    Overview, scroll, Point, buttons and other things I don't even understand Swedish for!

    Choose scrolling, and down there, you have a finger to scroll.  Disable horizontal and vertical scrolling, and your problems are over.
