• How to bring back the feature Fall alphabetical down from my previous research in the center of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page Google search box?

  In the afternoon of August 24, I lost a feature on my Start Page of Mozilla Firefox and I can't understand how to get it back. It is the Google search box in the middle of the page. Previously, when I want to do a search, for example Amazon, I must type the letter 'A', and because I had typed "Amazon" in this area of research before, a drop down menu alphabetical would come with "Amazon" in it. I could then click on this word without having to type the rest of it. This option no longer works.

  I did an update of Adobe Reader that Friday morning, so I thought that maybe why it happened. I did a system restore, and brings the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.

  I ran CCleaner and cleaned the registry also. Oddly enough, I found that just after that I have this and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop-down list feature is back in the center of the search for once, bar a single search. After that he went again. I'm going in and do just CCleaner (no cleaning required registry) and the same thing happens... the functionality is there for a search only.

  I went and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up-to-date. I also ran a full scan of the system, but no problem came.

  I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I don't know if the things that I tried would have helped or not.

  I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1

  I appreciate any help you can provide.

  It worked! I went in "Troubleshooting information" and click on "Reset Firefox" that solved the problem. Thank you very much.

  Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of Aol search?

  A few months ago the Mozilla Firefox Start Page has suddenly started using Aol instead of Google search when I used the search bar. I don't remember if I did anything on PURPOSE or something when it happened, but on the navigation bar, my search engine is always Google... I really want to use Google instead of Aol search, and I don't want to change my home page?

  Change of the topic: Home search engine to Google.

  Copy and paste this script into Notepad > then click on run > run

• Disagreement with Firefox 3, Firefox 4 does not register the tabs open when I leave to have several tabs open. How can I do this in Firefox 4?

  In Firefox 3, when I got to close the program to have several tabs open, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save and remember the tabs open, so that I can get them at the next restart of Firefox. Firefox 4 is no more. Is it because I have have not properly set up somehow, or is this normal? How can I recover this function?
  Thanks in advance,

• Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

  Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

  What version of OS/Safari do you use?

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

• How can I minimize Firefox in one click when I have several tabs open?

  I used to be able to minimize Firefox with a single click on the icon in the taskbar, even with several tabs open. Now it doesn't let me. Now, when I move my mouse over the FF icon, a pop-up shows all open tabs and I need to find another way to minimize Firefox. I'm missing something here.

  I was right. I unchecked the box in the options that says "show previews of the tab in the Windows task bar" and everything works as I want it now. Thanks again for your help. These things are usually easy to fix, but hard to find sometimes.
