How do I change search engine in a new tab?

When you usually open a new tab or just write in the URL thing it uses google as a search engine, but for me firefox uses bing, and I wish I had the google one. Is tehre a way to change it back?

When I open a new tab, it appears in the URL:
Search.conduit.com/?CTID=CT3315513 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = & Lay = 1 & UM = 4 & UP = SPD9100A02 - 061A - 49A 8 - 8E31 - D1689B72C458

You can check in "Windows Control Panel > programs ' recently installed programs see if something Conduit or any other suspicious software appears.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

You can open the topic: config page through the address bar and to search for the prefs that refer to 'intermediate' and reset set user prefs ("BOLD") through the context menu on the default value.

If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

  • How can I return search box in a new tab? When I open a new tab, it is only to show the address bar.

    When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.

    I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.

    I have attached a picture of your understanding.

    I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.

    user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.

    Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.

    In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.

    Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs

    • Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
    • Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
    • topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc

    You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).

    It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.

    First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
    For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start Firefox

    The second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.

  • How to remove the search bar in a new tab window so that I can have nine tiles instead of only six?

    I used to get nine tiles when I open a new tab. All of a sudden I get 6 votes against and a search bar at top. All attempts to remove the search bar failed. I tried to change the rows and columns in topic: config and I learned about the use of Ctrl/scroll to shrink the tiles to allow more screen. This is a dispute over what to happen. Is it possible to get rid of the search bar, or is it possible to get the nine tiles narrowed to arrive when I click on a new tab rather than having to scroll? Thanks for your help.

  • How do you change the homepage to a new tab?

    I watched the videos of youtube
    1. go to about: config
    (check)
    2. get off at browser.newtab.url
    (check)
    3. double click it
    4 type the location of the newtab (I tried google.com and about: newtab) but none worked

    under newtab.url, it says browser.newtabpage.blocked, what does this do? is - it won't let me put in service? If this is not the case, why it isn't working?

    Oh, you have an infection of trovi. You will need to do a deep cleaning in this case.

    Usually I suggest to start with a visit in the Control Panel, uninstall a program, to remove each of the components. If you find this overwhelming, you can use some malware scanner/cleaning tools. Those who appear in our support section and guide other users cleaning used should all be free. If the scanner completes quickly and says that you have to pay to get anything accomplished, your system may be compromised in some other way.

    When you get to the part about the Reset functionality of Firefox use, pause to check if cleaning now lets you set this preference.

  • How can I have the search results in a new tab?

    When I search something, regardless of the search engine used, the search results appear in the "active" tab Is there a way to configure Firefox to open a new tab and show the results of the research in this new tab automatically? Yes, I can do it manually by opening a new tab, to do research, but it would be much more "user friendly" it would be automatic.
    I use an Apple Mac Pro running Mac OS x 10.7

    To avoid extra keys or the steps and make the option to open search results in a new tab (or not) easy and convenient, install this add-on:

    As long that the checkmark next to "Open in a new tab", a new tab opens to the search results. Click the icon in the search bar, far left and click "Open in a new tab" to check or uncheck this option.

    The new Document dialog box does not facilitate a change of units, although you can type any unit in its fields.

Here, your settings will be saved with the document and should not affect new documents.

  • I tried everything suggested to get rid of the search page "open a new tab".

    I just bought a new computer with Windows7. I downloaded and installed Firefox 18.0.1 a week ago.
    I try to get the historical icon page to open when I click on "open a new tab".
    Some of the things I've tried (as reset Firefox and install the add-on) worked but only until I stop.
    When I load Firefox again, this pesky search page ("open a new tab") is back.
    How can I get the icon history page to remain permanently on the day the day?

    If your manual changes don't "stick" after a restart of the browser, please look out for suspicious extensions (such as 3 rd-party-toolbars or of things that you have not intentionally installed) currently installed under firefox/tools > addons > extensions or section of windows control panel programs and remove these entries.

    in the case, it does not resolve the issue please, try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this search on a file named user.js window (it can be used to overwrite your custom settings). where it is present, delete or rename this file and then restart firefox.

    After the installation of Bing by accident, I can't search using the address bar. Searches are redirected to the Bing search engine. I tried to resolve it with the help here (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Searches%20are%20redirected%20to%20another%20site), but I'm not able to open everything: config. I get the warning for a few seconds, but then it disappears without going into the configuration.

    (1) Please enter questions Troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode, choose disable all addons and restart.
