How to remove the default Firefox 38.0.1 yahoo search (Macintosh)

How can I remove the automatic reset of Firefox for the terrible yahoo search engine? I want Google as default search engine. Here's what I've tried:
a. choose Google over yahoo and then remove the yahoo of preferences: Firefox always springs back to yahoo.
b. download the app 'Google by default'. It worked on previous versions of Firefox, before V 38.0.1. But it seems that the commercial interests behind now bypassed Firefox that, as well, because that 'Default Google' application now no longer works.
c. erasing and then re - install the "Google by default" application. No improvement.

If there is no way to deal with this, so I'm dumping FF and switch to Google Chrome.

Hello, I am wary of some of your extensions, please Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    click Help

    then select restart with disabled modules.

If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

If the problem is caused by an extension, once it has been removed or disabled, you may need to run SearchReset to restore your settings.

Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware can also be useful.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • How to remove the default iTunes genres in the most recent version?

    I've just updated to version 12.3.2.35 today and the localizable.strings file is not the same aspect it was.  There used to be just a bunch of channels, where I would like to delete those contained in the / * = Genres = * /, / * = kinds reduced = * / and / * = with Genres = * / categories.  However, the localizable.strings file looks like now as if it was some kind of compiled code or something and I can't seem to find where again to remove the default iTunes genres.  I don't really want to have a bunch of useless genres in my drop-down menus.  Does anyone know how to remove the default types?

    Looks like they changed to a binary file format, perhaps because changes to the file may affect the use of music Apple... which is unfortunate for those of us who do not use Apple music and wants to restrict the list of available types.  It can still be an alternative workaround, but certainly worth of reports via the iTunes of Apple Feedbackpage.

  • How to remove the default for a limited only account gateway (with static ip address)

    I have 1 pc with 4 accounts 1 account administrator and user the rest is limited accounts. I use a static ip address and the question is how to remove the default gateway on these limited account so that they cannot access the internet

    The entry door is fixed to the adapter and selectively cannot set properties of the different adapter for different users, all users use the same adapter.

    With Internet Explorer (does not work with other browsers), you can configure a proxy server with a fake address, you can do this through Group Policy, or you can do it manually for each individual user through the Internet Options settings.  You can set the proxy server address map of loopback (127.0.0.1) or you can set it to a bogus address of your private address range (usually the range 192.168.xxx.xxx)

    If you are using other browsers, you can use NTFS permissions to deny access to the Explorer or the program directory or you can use software restriction policies to deny access to specific programs.

    Alternatively, you can use a logon script to activate the network connection service when you open a session and the other to turn it off when you log, but if you do this you will disable the entire network for limited users if it cannot be a solution for them.  The script can be a simple two-line script:

    Logon script:

    SC config Netman start = demand
    net start netman

    Logoff script:

    net stop netman
    SC config Netman start = disabled

  • How to remove the default user in Windows 7

    Some of the original user files became corrupt, in order not to lose all the files, we have created a new user on the same computer.  Now, when we remove the user name and files, original when the computer restarts, we cannot go back... He asks a password with a completely different name we have.  Where and how do I change the system for the new user to the default value and remove the old?  Thank you

    I wrote a longer version of the recommendation that Frederik Long has given you and then deleted because I'm not sure that I fully understand your situation.

    If you can get into Windows, then follow the advice of Frederik long.

    If you are unable to Windows, what do you see when you start the computer?  In other words, don't you see the Welcome screen with one or more of the icons for user accounts?  If there is only one icon and it's a 'completely different' user name this is the old name you deleted?  If not, what is?

  • How to remove the default isakmp on a ciso router strategy (3845)

    Hi all. My company recently failed a PCI scanning as our router returned the 56-bit encryption for negotiation isakmp on an existing default isakmp policy. How can I remove this default isakmp policy. I'm not under 12.4 (15) T1 so no crypto isakmp default policy does not work. Is there one way other than the upgrade of the IOS? Any suggestions?

    Is it possible to configure a maximum number of isakmp policy authenticating a router checks? I have 2 strategies more priority configured ISAKMP. Perhaps if there is an order to limit the number of policies isakmp router checks, it would eliminate this default policy with?

    Thank you.

    Disabling the default isakmp policy is only supported since IOS version 12.4 (20) T leave. Earlier version does not support turn them off by default

    ISAKMP policy.

  • How to remove the tab "Firefox" to XP?

    I can get rid of it in the first window of FF if I activate "menu bar". However, this does not work when I open a new window of the first FF window.

    I hate everything simply because it is a window within a window when this "Firefox" tab appears. This means you get two sets of minimize, maximize and X buttons!

    Any idea pls?

    Thank you

    Try mode without failure of Firefox.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    1. You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    2. Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    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 SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • How to remove the default line break when you export in XML format?

    Hello

    I'm using FDK 11 to convert a FrameMaker to XML file. Basic example as in the "guide structured Import/Export API Programmer" works very well. But all my files frame long paragraphs which, then the conversion is a line break after a length that appear to be the default. Hereby, the length of the XML and the readability becomes tedious. Here is the snapshot of the transformation and the piece of code used. Please let me know if there is a function that allows to eliminate this default behavior.

    #include "futils.h".

    extern VoidT Structured_ApiEmergency ((VoidT)) FARGS;

    extern VoidT Structured_ApiInitialize ((init IntT)) FARGS;

    extern VoidT Structured_ApiCommand ((command IntT)) FARGS;

    Hi Vincent,.

    You use a structured application? If so, you might try reading/writing as a rule:

    writer

    {

    line break is 1000 characters;

    }

    .. .or whatever length you deem appropriate.

  • How to remove the default Unsorted Bookmarks?

    Older versions of FireFox had better feature: Add bookmark you need to click only once on the icon to bookmark and last used folders appear. "Unsorted bookmarks" appears now, without the possibility to delete. This greatly alter usability FF for the people doing the reading and intense research.

    I don't use Unsorted bookmarks at all, nor bookmarks tool bar. Is it possible to restore the basic features of FF and delete these unwanted forced options?

    Thank you.

    Unsorted Bookmarks in Firefox since version 3.0, which was released on 17/06/2008. He is missing for over 5 years now. The other "smart" folders can be deleted, but the unsorted folder cannot be deleted.

    I have seen nothing over the last 5 years, which allows the old feature to restore the places bookmarks / history system. I guess that the folder can be 'hidden' thru userChrome.css code, but will not replace "Favorite places" to try to use this folder as his "first choice for a new bookmark. And unless you are very careful, you can end up with a ton of bookmarks in the shadow folder.
