• How keep Google as a search engine on Firefox startpage, any search engine is in the upper drop box right?

  When I change the search engine in the upper search box right (to let's say Wikipedia), the search engine in the middle of the homepage Firefox changes accordingly. I don't want to do (I want to pin it to Google). How to do?

  The current versions of Firefox use the search engine that is selected in the search bar (click the search engine icon to open the drop-down list) on the Navigation bar for research via the address bar and for the search engine on the subject: homepage.

  If you want to use different search engines, then you can install the extension of search by keyword to specify with search engine to use for the search and address bar which engine to use for the topic: homepage via Windows Options/preferences of this extension, accessible via the on: addons page (Firefox > Add-ons).

  For some reason to ASK is become my search engine for the main home page of Firefox search bar, I want to return my search engine on Google. How is that possible?

  This looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc (oracle is group the ask toolbar in its critical security updates if you don't mind a disselect for example).

  Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

  then install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

• 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 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.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  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)

• How to set Google as default search engine in Firefox 5? I tried several fixes, but I get a Yahoo instead of Google search.

  I want to use Google as my search engine, but no matter what I change the default search engine settings is still Yahoo.

  I would also like to have the track back feature when I opened a new tab, it shows often used pages that I can click on and open.

  First of all, thanks to dmcritchie. His solution was helpful. However, I didn't uninstall my Yahoo Toolbar because I have buttons, bookmarks, etc. that do not migrate.

  For those of you, like me, who want to continue to use your Yahoo toolbar as well as the use of the Google toolbar, here's another solution:

  Rather than uninstall the Yahoo toolbar just hide it. Go to the command bar, select view > toolbars > then uncheck Yahoo toolbar. (See first image)

  Then...

  1. Open a new tab.
  2. Go to the address bar and type auto: config and press the Enter key.
  3. A warning box appears. Close the box by clicking on the button "I'll be careful, I promise". (See the second picture)

  When the text comes up,

  1. Scroll down until you find "browser.search.defaulturl" it will be in bold. Third image, with the selection highlighted by me)
  2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
  3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:

  http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
  

  Then,.

  1. Scroll down until you find "keyword." URL"it will be in bold.
  2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
  3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:

   http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
  

  Finally,.

  1. Scroll down further until you find "yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src" again, it will be in bold.
  2. Right-click on the expression, and then select 'Edit'.
  3. Type (or copy / paste) in the following:

  http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & q =

  1. Close the tab

  And you're done.

  This will allow you to keep all the buttons and bookmarks you have in your Yahoo toolbar without side effects unpleasant to have Yahoo away your research and give you the darned Search 404 error pages.

  I hope this helps.

  PS while you make changes to the configuration: automatic, be sure to copy the values that you are editing in a Word Pad document for later retrieval. Be clear about what "preference name" you have accessed and what 'value' you changed. " In this way, if necessary, you can always go back and everything returns to its previous state. I titled my document "Firefox AboutConfig Changes".

  Good luck!
