Need to search engine in Firefox. (No response when searching, etc.).
I successfully installed Mozilla Firefox, (I think). It is / was not its place in the process of installation, nor on the Start Page to any search engine (I want DuckDuckGo). How/where to put a search engine. Currently, everything I put search for spot images (and then press on enter) does nothing, going nowhere. Same behavior with address bar spot. I am a disabled person. Thank you in advance.
Hi, see controls customize Firefox, buttons and toolbarsand click on restore default settings.
This can also help you - use the search bar in Firefox.
If the search still doesn't to 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.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

All the search engines in Firefox no longer works
I have Firefox used for centuries and do not understand what has happened. No search no longer works. No research on the address bar or the search box (right side). No search plugin work. If I call a search engine Homepage, as typing google.com in the address field, the engine of Google appears, but when I try to look for, it always goes without any reaction. The same thing with any other search engine. Search normally works on IE.

need to uninstall and reinstall firefox, it tells me to close google chome windows I get thi message when I
go to the Control Panel programs and features high firefox uninstrall
I did the same process with google chromeUninstall Firefox ask you to close Google Chrome? It's strange. I guess that you have closed all the browser windows when this happens.
I should ask: why do you need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox? Usually, this does not resolve problems with Firefox. Maybe read this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons.

I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.
Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates. -

I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)
Hello
I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)(OS: I use Windows XP).
When I open the browser, I don't see is a totally white screen of white, with all the toolbars at the top.
I know that my physical connections are very good: I have tested the modem, turned the pc market etc and I can also receive/send emails.
This problem started today, September 8, 2011 and has never happened before.
Is it a coincidence that Firefox itself to day before I disconnected yesterday evening? Could this be something to do with this particular new update?
I also noticed that just before I "opened" Firefox, I now get a small box indicating:
[JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
Handl exc in Ev: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a functionThis never appeared before - I hope that it offers a clue has what is wrong.
The browser not be stuck in Mode safe, said by the way.
Of course, I can't find solutions to the problem on the internet, I don't physically see all Web sites!
(A friend sends this request in my name from their pc)Any light you can throw on this problem of confusion would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from your site, I'm also in trouble (I can not see the internet or download).
In this case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my e-mail address? In the affirmative, please let me know and I'll give you more details.Thanks in advance.
One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
See:
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

Need help to set up FireFox on the new laptop
My last laptop was killed by a virus (don't worry, I'll scan anything onto my new laptop) so I bought a new laptop. I use Puppy Linux to go into my old laptop because the virus screwed up my log in details.
Must who and where are the files I have to use and have firefox as it was on my old laptop, 0 on my new laptop. I grabbed the entire folder of Mozilla FireFox from Program Files and entered in the folder (once I transferred it) and opened the FireFox.exe, but it loads FireFox with no bookmarks, plugins etc.
I want everything that I use for: bookmarks, plugins, styles. I just want that it the same as ut used to be.
Thank you very much in advance
SamYou are welcome. Just to be clear (and for others who may be reading), you should replace the contents of the new folder profile, such as the file places.sqlite , the folder bookmarkbackups and other files/folders, with the content of the old profile folder. For more information, see recovering data from an old profile .
You asked, How do I check which version of FireFox, I got no load up. I.e. check a file or something with the details of the version in it.
You can open the C:\Program Files (x 86)-Mozilla Firefox folder and right-click on the firefox.exe file, choose Properties, then click the Details tab and it will show you the version of the product and other information.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
- an ActiveX version for IE only
- a plug-in version for most of the other browsers including Firefox
- On a Windows system, you must always update both individually.
You don't seem to have the Plugin for Firefox installed version. If you did, in the Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash (version)". If 'Shockwave Flash' is there and is disabled, click on the button "activate". NOTE: not to be confused with "Adobe Shockwave for Director" since this is an application separate, older, but still in use, Adobe which is still used.
