How is it possible that Firefox 3.6.28 with intelligent search functions and the latest version does not work?

I noticed that when I'm on Firefox 3.6.28, try to look for something, not looking but sometimes opens directly the most appropriate result. It's amazing and really fast. Why this feature is not included in the latest version.
Thank you

When you type words in the address bar, Firefox will search using any motor is selected in the search bar. You can install a "Browse by name" or a "I m Feeling Lucky" search engine

If you want the search engines separate in the address bar and the search bar, install the module keyword search.

The reasoning was that 'Browse by name' and "I m Feeling Lucky" are far from perfect. Rather than risking to send users to sites that are not what they were looking for, it was decided that always show the results of the research was a better option.

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
    to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    You can try a different theme of Windows?

    Have you tried to start the computer using Windows safe?

  • Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables the flash plugin - updates to the latest version do not work?

    Suddenly - without the measures taken by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 Ultimate 64)
    It started with a very boring bar, which cost me 2 hours to turn it off, which told me to update a plugin from Adobe Reader very old and unused. Then, he insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin is not updated. Because I do not use it, I disabled too. Since I rarely use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does more - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and there it turned off.
    It has cost me hours so far and this is _exactly_ the reason why I use the channel of the ESR.
    What I did:
    Have completely uninstalled Adobe Flash (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which he would recommend (your flash drive has been disabled, please install...). Without success, it simply goes in a loop, always telling me that my flash player is too old.
    I also installed directly from Adobe (version Firefox!), in all cases, it reports version 11.5.502.104. The latest version of Adobe-, but it seems to be too old?

    I'm spitting angry now - this kind of disorder is the reason that I only use Mozilla's ESR versions. I don't want your troop of chaos to play with the installation of _my_. But obviously, you have found ways to do it.

    If this is not resolved (and no, I do _not_ reinstall Firefox, I'm not going to delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead to me. I'm already with Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative and I want as my stable browser and look a feeling must also be stable. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which costs each time that my effort and time to configure it as I want.

    The question is: How did you disable the latest version of Flash and why? Why do I now register here and investing valuable time to get my browser to work again? If I had done something, install or remove something, okay. But I did not. (And Yes, so far I have day Flash and other plugins, when I was invited to do)

    Clearly _your_ management works the _not_: if I use solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me into an infinite loop: install newer Flash, sorry, Flash is obsolete, install latest Flash...

    Is this the new "security"? Bah. If you have done for the 'normal' user (which you obviously don't respect any more), you have not. And you have not completely for me: If software insists on doing things 'automatically', it should make them less reliable, it should ask _or_. But work in the shadows, change things, reports nothing and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable things to "automatic" and want to be _asked_ before some silly piece of c... deconfigures himself - and stops working...

    The following troubleshooting tips:
    At this time, Flash player is installed, presents in the list of systems as "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" software, Version 11.5.502.146. The others are my normal plugins. Several changes to about: config were made by me in order to do usable FF again, without harassing the bars 'info '...

    Found: in some sort plugin.scan.plid.all entry disappeared from my setup under "subject: config'." It simply no longer existed.

    After much research and cursing I found and reinstated, with the Boolean value 'true '. Now Flash Player is once again, and it seems to work. The horse is gone. Also, I was able to uninstall the old plugin Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader plugin, which I haven't used for a long time (format PDF download always locally). It helped, because the annoying nag window went away, and I could reactivate other options that I had to disable, to get rid of a bar/window indicating the information known about a plugin that was disabled and not used anyway. (It started with 10.0.12 update, I think)

    Comment: It's unnecessary _completely_ for me (plugin was the last version of anyway, because he has a service life of update and updates without FF). It took me 2-3 hours of precious time.

    Could you please consider:
    (1) INFORM the user about the problems and not more stupid click me once windows with standard chat text. Even Microsoft, not known for their openness and user information, was able to inform me of updates of _what_ _avant_ I install them and _why_ I should install them.
    2) more information in the windows plugin/extension, so there is no chance of finding problems.
    (3) STOP the condescension and mothering the user, at least as an option, so we can choose it. Because if someday leave FF forever, it will be the main reason. I REFUSE to install automatically. I am _responsible_ to my computer. If someone or something moves for example illegal data on it, I can't use the excuse that this was done 'automatically '. I want to know how, when and WHY an update or something is installed. So please stop this patronizing.

  • Firefox 3 crashing - have to use FF3 because of the ALPS scroll does not work in anything else

    Had to stay with FF3, as everytime I try again updated the version of the ALPS scrolling touchpad does not work on my Acer 5738Z. I've made sure the drivers are all to date and everything else is in order but no luck. Have tried different methods posted on the forums, but still no luck.

    Now, all of a sudden, FF3 now crashes every 10 minutes or more.

    I prefer FF, but this disadvantage is too and I'm going to need IE for now, until someone can tell me a solution. Here are a few crash IDs Ive seen lately.

    Finally!

    This fixes the problem for anyone else run into this problem:

    For those who have problems with the standard driver for the ALPS touchpad in firefox 4. Here's a quick check difficulty: 1) open registry with regedit 2) search for the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint) 3 ScrMethod 1 game 4) Reboot

    Hello friends, would like to know how can we access/check the system configuration of the SX20 if we not touch and remote control or they are not in working condition.

    I think that we can check this Switch interface, but unfortunately, I don't have access to the local switch right now.

    option is to have access to the local switch and run "show cdp neighbors detail."

    or

    Connect the mobile to PC/computer LAN, run tftpd32 with affected DHCP pool. Then you can login to get the config.

  • How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on my MSI FX600 OA if the recovery partition does not work?

    So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.

    After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?

    too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.
