  Hi Chaos2015,

  Could you specify if you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.

  You must turn off Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new of a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.

  If you don't have installation media, you can download the Pro version of the below mentioned link:

  Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  Please note that you can activate the software on the computers of two maximum. For example: your office at work and laptop at home

• The awesome bar no longer uses I'm Feeling Lucky feature of Google.

  In previous versions of firefox, keywords could be typed in the awesome bar and I would be redirected using I'm feeling Lucky button of google. Recently when we update firefox, I had to go into the topic: config page and keyword.enabled change in link of I lucky. In the most recent update, however, the keyword.enabled string has been changed to a Boolean value, so I can only activate or deactivate rather than change it to I'm lucky. Allowing it supposedly will offer the same functionality, but I tried a few obvious keywords (Wiki, Google, Hotmail) and each one came with a google search instead of redirect me. I really liked this feature, and I hope that there is a way to re-implement it.

  Thank you
  ~ Casey

  I read somewhere that malware and phishing sites began to misuse of the "I m Feeling Lucky" feature So it maybe Mozilla away automatic redirect features that put users at risk.

• Firefox under a limited Windows account search using search engines under construction on the search bar + awesome bar.

  He works in the administrator account, but not for all other limited accounts. I created a new limited account if she had no addons or changed options but research still does not work.

  If I enter anything in the awesome bar / search bar, it displays "Looking up nameofwebsite.com"instead of "Waiting for nameofwebsite.com".

  I noticed that he search using https:. If I search using google, I can take the part s of https for HTTP is used, and when I press ENTER, it works, but the browser adds in the s and research in https.

  Everything works fine except for the search functions.

  I updated Firefox and the problem seems to have disappeared.

• How can I get the Awesome Bar Google search parameters?

  For example: if I type "site:support.mozilla.org browser" in Google or even some new-tab for Firefox addons, I get a page with the Google search results on this site for that keyword. If I type the same line in the "Awesome Bar", I get an error page.

• How to change the address bar of search engine uses when you type in the search for something that is not Google

  I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

  If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
  2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
  3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
  4. Double-click the item that appears.
  5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).

• I'm having a strange problem with the awesome bar

  The awesome bar/address bar is as impressive as it used to be. When I start typing in a speech, it seems that he does check more through my history and gives a list of possible matches but gives just the stem of an address. For example, if I type in "goo" will end this at 'google.com' if I add this with a "/ has" it's going to end this to 'google.com/analytics ' but it is also good that he doesn't get, as I say, no history list or bookmarks.

  I checked the options and also about: config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly had not changed any of them when he began to behave badly). I have also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.

  It is driving my crazy, because I quite often use sites whose long addresses and keep in mind each of the components of each address. I would go with Chrome, but I also use Firebug, a fair bit so don't really want to do.

  Of the image, it seems that there is a persistent add-on. He was re-activated?

• The awesome bar does not work as it should?

  When I typed in a Word, for ex, 'space', initially FF would take me to 'google search' with all the options for 'space' in this research.
  Suddenly, 'parola' butted and my searches are redirected to this place.
  I scoured the forums etc. They suggested "Subject: config","keyword.url". "" Then right click and the setting on 'reset'.
  Well, when I do this, my "reset" function is not available. It is faded. Then I did a right click on 'modify' and type in the option only available in the forums etc to google search:

  "http://www.google.com/ig?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & hl = in & aig = 0 & reason = 1.

  From there, when I go to the awesome bar and enter ' thespace', it does me not this 'google search' page, but need me either on my own "igoogle" page, or if I register on igoogle, it takes me to a regular google home page.

  Then, I want what I searched in the search box of the google and igoogle with all available 'google' search results. "',But the search box is empty.
  

  What to do now?

  I hope I'm clear on the issue. That I couldn't find in the forums/help pages.

  Thank you for your help.

  PS. Vista, Newest version update of FF (4).

  You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.

• How to type a part of a URL and the upcoming site (not awesome bar)

  In the past, I used to have a full auto feature that would take me to a Web site even if I type the full URL.

  For example, just typing "you" in the address bar would take me on youtube without any additional research or clicking.

  I know that currently the "awesome bar" is similar and shows the url, but who still need me click and search.

  This thread help me? In versions prior, the URL bar had this feautre where you can type in some key words or phrases and it would take you to relevant directly, much like Google "I m feeling lucky" site feature. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help.

• How can I turn off default 1 search result in the awesome bar?

  Since the release of 43, it seems that the Awesome bar fills the first result as a generic 'visit' or 'Search' for anything typed in the bar. It's very frustrating because I know where I want to go, and my search history used to fill specific sites, I went to. This new feature to the Awesome Bar takes you is a generic search engine default search, or right on the first page for a specific site.

  For example, it may be a forum page that I regularly to. and in the latest Firefox would fill this page first in my results, which allows a fast navigation. However, the most recent update makes it do that the first result is a query to perform a generic search for what I typed in, or at best to take me to the first page of the site in question, make me have to either type the URL complete, favorite every page ever, I want to navigate to and just use bookmarks now or , or cross my fingers and pray that they default 1 result in the Awesome bar accurately reflects my wishes of navigation (which he never does).

  Is it possible to either:

  1. find the process that causes this 1 default result in the Awesome bar and disable/delete, preferably with extreme prejudice.

  2 prevent the features of Firefox that interacts with a browser default search?

  In its current form, I deliberately ignore the 1st result of the Awesome Bar, because it never fulfills what I want. Specifically, it will fill never I don't want things.

  Hi Danon72.

  To disable the 'Visit' item in the list, please edit the preference browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete in The editor of Configuration of Firefox to false.

• awesome bar does not display existing addresses

  Firefox itself upgrade just esr 38.2.0, and when I type in the awesome bar, it brings not existing more addresses.

  For example. I used to type s in the bar, and he would show slashdot.org, as it was the most common s that I visited. Now, it's just completely empty.

  This is intolerable. What is broken?

  The appearance of the parameters in the Options/preferences bar location has changed a drop-down list of option buttons.
  I don't know if he took part code of specific migration with this change because the prefs browser.urlbar.suggest. * underlying have not changed.
  If other prefs obtained were changed by default while this could have caused it.
  Installed extensions may also have caused such a change.

  Added a pref browser.urlbar.suggest.history.onlyTyped and 41 Firefox version will have a pref browser.urlbar.suggest.searches (the next version of ESR will have this).
