Instructions to remove the search engine do not work, the "delete" button remains grayed out check marks independently. Is there another way that actually works?

The Firefox Support instructions below do not work in version 36. The button 'delete' is never gray State asset once the unwanted/s search engine are checked for removal. I tried one at a time and in groups, it does everything just as they suggest below.

Delete a search engine

You can remove search engines, that you don't need by performing the following steps on the search bar in the toolbar or on the page tab.

   Click the search engine icon and select Manage Search Engines... to open the search engines manager.
   To remove a search engine, select it from the list, and click Remove.

If you accidentally delete a default search engine, click on restore default values to recover the default search engines.

   If you accidentally delete a search engine that you installed, you must re-install it.

I found the solution, the surprisingly simple. Thanks to everyone for trying, but against all the recommendations after a new analysis of malware, virus and upgrade to the latest version released on March 5, 2015... Here is the fix:

Left click on the dropdown search button, then left click on the "change search settings." Ignore completely the checkboxes as suggested by Mozilla. The text of the search engine you want to delete to highlight in blue in the Middle, click on the grey Out button below should become active. The only function of the boxes by the search engine will make them visible or not when using the search box in Firefox. The solutions proposed by others seems logical, but I learned more than 4 decades as a technician in computer science, opt for the simple solution first. Thank you all for your suggestions, this fix works for versions 36 and 36.0.01on Windows 7. I guess it should work for other OS also.

    Try AVG and Avast free programs to find and fix the problem. In the future, these two will warn you if the malware is a download.  If this does not work, try the highjackthis program.  It will save a log that can be used by sites for free assistance to correct your problem.

    I would NEVER erase the hard drive!  I've been SP since its release and have have 60 programs on my computer.

  • Why the Build button is grayed out?

    CS 5.5 MC, S & T ed. Yet 5.1. Win7Pro64.

    My first attempt using again. Try to burn a project Premiere Pro 30 minutes of a / v clips and photos on a DVD SD without creating a directory. Want just the movie DVD + RW burned to play instantly.
    Follow the instructions in step 6 that is to click Build, but it is grayed out. I registered this sequel in 2012. What I don't understand?
    It might have something to do with settings in the properties panel? I'm not sure they should be, because they are not addressed in 5 steps. In any case, I clicked project check and got 2 errors, so I put the first Stop, play the same as the title button. Chronology of the hand is not defined. Operations: No permit. Had no error when I clicked on project to check again.
    Also, as suggested in another post, I tried to change out of build Panel to record DVD and Image, but generate button is still gray.
    I accepted all settings by default when the release was made on a DVD disc.

    The panels menus and timelines are empty. Not transcoded first Pro Sequence.prproj 1920 x 1080, 59,94 frames per second is on the project Panel. The miniature film plays normally on the project Panel. Flowchart panel shows a DVD icon.

    In addition, in the project settings dialog box, the name: Unitilted.ncor is grayed out. I don't know how to change this name.

    Thank you

    What are the instructions you follow?

    If your editing panel is empty, you have no chronology of l. And some of what you set (for example 'first reading' 'Stop') is incorrect. When you want a DVD with no menu and play the video at the start, you set the first play on your Timeline.

    Once you create the project again, you can no longer change its name. You can do a save as and change it.

    In the project Panel, select the order of Professor go in the menu timeline, and then create the timeline. Set the action to the end of the new timeline 'Stop' if that's what you want, or to himself if you want to keep repeating.

  • PSC 1350 printer all-in-one: the "scan" button is grayed out.

    I'm looking for just a simple answer to this.

    My 1350 all-in-one (an old model by the way) has all of a sudden the "scan" button grayed out

    He shows me the overview of the analysis, but it does not scan.

    I used this computer and the printer together for many years.

    This isn't a device, just a regular connection.

    Frustrating.

    Hello

    Or select an area on the preview of the scan with the mouse or uncheck the custom size option and choose the required scan size, then you will be provided with the opportunity to complete the scan.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    In Acrobat Reader mobile applications, the tools of comments (as point climax, strikethrough, underline, Sticky Notes) are not "sticky".  As you mentioned, you must select a feedback tool after each use.

    Would you submit a feature request form?

    Adobe Acrobat for iOS - feature request/Bug Report Form

    Here's another way to highlight the text.

    1. Long press (press and hold) on the text you want to highlight.
    2. Adjust the selection of text by moving the blue circle ("grabber") (right, left, up, down).
    3. Select to highlight in the context menu that appears.

    He still won't tools reviews "sticky."  But you do not need to activate the tool commenting and keep reaching out to the icon to highlight in the toolbar at the bottom.  If some users experience less cumbersome or annoying when adding point culminating/bar/stressed to a large number of pages in a PDF document.

    Thanks for the comments!

  • Search engine does not work properly

    Every time I want to search something on Windows 8 I press Windows + q and note the app I'm looking for. The problem is Windows 8 can't find anything until I write the complete word. For example, I want to look for Skype, so Windows + s q and write, then k and if I stop here, nothing appears, I get nothing did meet my search until I write Skype completely. So, how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you please, try the command SFC/scannow in the administration command prompt and reboot.
    Hope this helps, good luck :)
  • Just installed Acrobat XI and many of the tool buttons are greyed out.

    This is Acrobat Standard.  Why would the edit buttons be grayed out?

    Lee

    It is possible that the document you are editing does not allow for edition, which could be due to security restrictions that are in place, because it is a form created in LiveCycle Designer spirit, it is locked due to a digital signature, etc. See what it shows when you select: file > properties > Security
