One solution for lack of options to search bar of Linux in distributions based on Debian.

All search options and the ability to add/remove/edit and get more missing.

I uninstalled Firefox for political reasons in April, then reinstalled (after some research convinced me that my protest was better elsewhere.) The search bar has failed.

All this has failed:
> sudo apt - get remove firefox
> sudo apt - get install firefox
> sudo dpkg - reconfigure firefox
> rm - Rvf ~/mozilla/firefox*
Menu-> help-> troubleshooting [reset Firefox] or [Open Directory]

SOLUTION:
When you search for dpkg version numbers, I noticed two packs for firefox
> dpkg-l | grep firefox
II firefox 29.0.1 amd64 Firefox web browser
RC 29.0.1 firefox-solydxk-settings all settings of Firefox for SolydXK

> man dpkg
has confirmed my suspicions that solydxk for firefox settings may have been broken by removing and installing firefox. (rc indicated, or installed properly uninstalled).

> sudo apt - get remove firefox-solydxk-adjustments
> sudo apt - get install firefox-solydxk-adjustments

Everythings works now. dpkg shows the two packages installed correctly.
> dpkg-l | grep firefox
II firefox 29.0.1 amd64 Firefox web browser
II firefox-solydxk-fits 29.0.1 all adjustments of Firefox for SolydXK

I don't know how many forks of Debian (Solyd, mint, Ubuntu, Librenet, etc.) could be affected in the same way, but I thought I'd get it out there since I know at least a mint user he saw elsewhere last March.

Hi ski_phreak.
Thank you for your message and welcome back. Many debian users will benefit from this post.

  • What is the problem since most of my e-mail messages are not displayed when I search for them in the top search bar? They're there, but will not be displayed in my search.

    In the past, I've always been able to search a specific e-mail from a client in the search bar up in Thunderbird, and most of my emails now not appear to customers more. They are there, but I have to physically to scroll through all my emails and find them. It is not practical at all, and they have not been deleted, so they should show up in my research. Do you know what I should do to get this working properly again?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the screenshot. This looks like a global search. More information in this article.

    Note, for a global search to work, it must be enabled in your settings, and the index must exist. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary rebuild the index.

  • Solution for lack of OCD does not recommended

    So, why a project to help with the following at the top of the .hhp not text displays a table of contents or an index, only research, in the .chm? I ran through the steps described in the note of technical database several times, and that's what it has looked like each time, but no table of contents or index.

    Auto Index = No
    Enhanced decompilation = No.

    Thanks for the research.

    Those are the two I worked offshore, but with little luck.

    I decided that instead of trying to figure out why it doesn't work, I just go back to the last version that work done and import/replace the needed theme files. So I did and it works. I try to ignore the fact that the file hhp and such look exactly the same mind.

    Thanks for the suggestions, all.

  • Internet leader (Links) one-able to remove from the desktop search bar?

    I seem to be impossible to remove internet files that appear in the section 'drop down' in the search box that assign you to the desktop. (By searching for the box, that I mean where you press F3 on your desktop, when Vista and it appears).

    I started to type a term akin, hover over it and press DELETE, but it will not erase.

    Internet history is quite clear and I also tried the AutoComplete historydeletion so I do not know what to do?

    Any help is better than nothing.

    Hello ojtubb4,

    You are probably using the toolbar of the address bar. In addition, you probably see the programs recently and the items that appear in the start menu. If you want to clear history, simply:

    • Right click on the task bar > click Properties
    • Click on Start menu tab
    Under the heading privacy, uncheck the two boxes:
    1. Store and display recently opened in the start menu programs
    2. Store and display of recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar
    Click OK
    Hope this helps

  • Nothing happens when I type a URL in the address bar and press ENTER. Nothing happens if I type anything in the search bar.

    Firefox will not go to any URL typed in the address bar. Or it will search for anything typed into the search bar. I tried to open Firefox in Safe Mode, unchecking the compatibility options, the cleaning of my recent history (the history icon is not even appears in the Firefox toolbar more), affecting all the Add-ons "Always enable", restart the computer and uninstall then reinstall Firefox, and there's no up to present work. The uninstall feature does not completely uninstall Firefox because it does not delete my favorites who are all still present. The first symptom of a problem was an error message, the first fix I tried was reinstalling Firefox without uninstalling first. Now, the error message no longer appears, and I don't remember what it was.

  • AOL have diverted the search bar, deleted all the other engines and disabled the reset.

    I noticed that at some point today the search bar was reset to aol. I removed aol in the bar, but now there is NO option to search engine. All done malware also deleted all other options in search bar, disabled by default reset settings and seems to have deleted the folder of drive C search plugins. I tried an add-on to restore the default choice, but it didn't work. I tried to reset Firefox and a system restore. None worked. I copied the folder searchplugins from a backup, but that has not changed anything. I don't see a new Mozilla Firefox folder (34) as indicated in some other threads. I looked into: config and there are new things for aol it but I do not know how to remove them or what, if anything should replace them.

  • Is there a way to keep the search bar to bend down?

    I've just updated to 34 FF and see that when I start typing something in the bar he search now takes place down, taking a value about seven lines of space - even though I have disabled search suggestions. The problem is that the course covers a part of the URL, tab and top-of-page Web of the text that I sometimes reference (or even copy - paste) to guide my search term selection. I usually use only my default search engine, so the disadvantages of this "blackout" certainly outweigh the benefits of being able to choose more easily a replacement search engine on the fly. In fact, one of the reasons I used the search bar are first to * avoid * behavior type search engine pages of conduct have often. But it is here, in fact more intrusive because it covers the most relevant text. Is it possible to keep this behavior "unfolding" occurs automatically when you use the search bar in 34 FF? Thank you

  • Smart Safari search bar, problem with the option 'include suggestions for Safari '.

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem with the search bar Safari Smart of yesterday (January 26, 2016).

    The search bar doesn't work anymore, I can't type, or search or write an http address either. I can only navigate by selecting a bookmark.

    Go to preferences I have all the people with reduced mobility and the disappearance of the problem.

    Then try to isolate the problem, I've found it comes to the "include suggestions of Safari" option in the smart search options.

    Anyone had a similar problem, or have any suggestions on how to get it back to life?

    I must say yesterday, everything working, I have not installed anything new on my Mac.

    Thank you very much!

    Kind regards

    How the little green plus can prevent appering in my search bar? I don't want to anythin other than Google. Since the last update, it is not possible to double click previous text in the search in any bar. It's super annoying, when you double-click the word under the mousepoiner gets marked.

    In the search bar and various other places, you can triple-click to select the contents of the entire (multiple words).

    If you prefer the old style search bar and you want to roll back the clock for Firefox 33 times, here is the way:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the Search and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.search.showOneOffButtons to true to false

    This does not affect the current window, but each new window that you open (Ctrl + n) will be the old search bar.

  • How to make the address bar behaving like search bar? I mean SMART search, as it implemented in Chrome (very comfortable for users).

    For example when I type a word in the search bar, it begins to give search engine suggestions, so don't HAVE TO TYPE THE ENTIRE SEARCH PHRASE!
    The same behavior is in the address bar of Google Chrome. So in Chrome address bar and search bar are combined into one that is very comfortable for users.
    In Firefox, you have here two different bars, which makes no sense. I used Chrome before and usually by type of force of habit in the address bar to search for something and have to type the whole expression there to begin the search. It is very stupid and using the address bar to the fruitless search.
    Screenshots attached.
    So, do we not have any add-on or option to merge or combine the bars or to implement smart search in the address bar?
    Thank you.

    Hi thedude9821, you use something like the extension of the keyword search?

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/

    Which makes your address bar search independent of the default search engine, so your search bar can be assigned to your second-most-used plugin by default.

    As to what should be the fix, a checkbox in the options that restores the old option 'default used for the last' might be a practical solution. Just need someone to encode this weekend!
