Options button on the standard google search page disappeared

Firefox 12.0
on the google search page, I had two buttons:
SafeSearch on/off button
Options (gear) button
the last button still appears on the screen, but now is empty: the gear is not displayed. When ipush result are incompatible: in some screens (search results), I get 4 options to choose, in other screens nothin happens at all.

I really don't like this, because FF seems to have become unstable on my machine.

As a fix as I complete reinstalled FF, without change, the problem persisted.

IE is not this problem

Hi madperson, thanks for the quick response. Indeed I cleaned all the cookies and cache, but in fact most websites like webmail seemed odd as well. To cut things short, I decided to reinstall an earlier version, which solved the problem. This isn't really a favorite firefox solution, but alas.

    Hello, Linda.

    I'm afraid that your problem may be deeper than your missing homepage, but you can easily change your homepage by going to tools > Options > general and entering the address in the field "Home Page".

    I must warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using right now is obsolete and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It is completely free, as always. You can get it via Firefox update service (help > check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

  • Since the update a few days ago lost sites often visited on my google search page?

    I used Google for a search engine. Before the update a few days ago, when I opened a new tab, it would give me a Google search page that shows in the lower part of 6 to 9 (forget) boxes inside which were minis first pages of my sites visited most often, so I just had to click on one of the boxes to reach the site I needed immediately.

    Since the upgrade, these boxes have been reduced to 3. If you try to move one of the cover on one of the 3 mini page, you can see that others are attached to the breast but it is impossible to click and go. All sites that were saved, seem to be there, and in each of the 3 boxes but are not accessible.

    Is anyway to recover these boxes separately?

    Thank you

    Firefox automatically adjusts the number of columns that match on the subject: newtab page if you adjust the width of the Firefox window or zoom the page in or out and no longer resizes thumbnails.
    The current version is not resize the image, but instead reduced the number of tiles to fit the current width of the screen, so you can't see the number of columns specified via the browser.newtabpage.columns preference.
    Zoom the subject: newtab page to see more tiles (Ctrl and -).

    Toggle the browser.newtab.preload pref on the about: config page in case of problems with zoom the subject: newtab page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • How can deselect an option button in the group 'Size', using Applescript to print several pages at 100%

    I hit a serious problem to update my application to use Adobe Acrobat DC 2015.

    I try to use the graphical interface to print multi-page documents but do not uncheck an option "Shrink oversized pages"button, checking a different 'Real size'button, in the same group. The two buttons are checked, and printing is by default the Junk button, print several pages on a sheet, instead of 100%.

    Anyone know of a different way to uncheck that darn button, or better yet, how to direct print the document. I can't find any online documentation of printing direct formatting.

    I need to print all pages, to 100%, with a particular printer, the "theLargePagePrinter". In addition, we use Pitstop Pro 13.

  • How to trigger DA when the user clicks a button close the standard window

    Hello!

    Apex 5.0 & universal theme.

    I want to trigger some DA when the user clicks on the button indicated to my image (button close the standard window). In fact, I would like to pass a value of my hidden form IR back and refresh IR if value = 1 or don't refresh with another value.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you.

    close_form.png

    Hi Yava,

    Seems that you have chosen to add the event handler to the page parent (the one with the IR). I think it's best. This means that the code above does not apply.

    The dialogclose event and all other dialogue jQuery UI events are triggered in the dialog box to create a DA pull on the IR will not work (because the dialog box is outside the IRR while she bubbles it won't go through the SORTING). You must handle the event on the body. This works because the event propagates to the body. Set the Type to choose to be "jQuery Selector". JQuery Selector enter 'body' (without the quotes). The event you want to handle is a custom, event which means that this isn't one of those in the select list. For event, choose "Custom". Then enter Custom Event "dialogclose" (without the quotes). Now you have a DA who fires when * all * dialog closes. You may or may not need to get more selective than that. For action, you can use refresh as you do already.

    Kind regards

    -John

    If I'm not mistaken you use ICA scanner. This 'Still Prompt pages' option is not available for ICA scans from now. But we are working on that, and will soon be available. I'll put you once its available.

    For now please try the TWAIN driver.

  • When I open a Google search page and scroll down and click on the button "Next", things fail. With Safari, it's okay. Mac lion.

    A left click on the button 'Next', the screen go to pale (frosted, low text) and locking. But a right click on the button 'Next' and selecting 'Open in a new page' instead, works very well. You are using Safari normally on the same computer works fine.

    If you close Firefox, and then start Firefox in Mode without failure, in the problem? To start Safe Mode, go to help > restart with disabled modules.

    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can disable your extensions one by one until you find out that one is at the origin of the problem. See Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems.

  • How can I remove icons Google Apps and Google search page AFTER 41 of Firefox Update Options?

    Before my recent upgrade to Firefox 41, while using Google search in the search bar, Google Apps and Options icons were not on the search page. After the upgrade to Firefox 41, two icons appear. How can I remove them?

    You can get Google results through two other sites, with an accent like the privacy. You can judge if you like better the layout:

    I do not use those regularly myself, so I don't know exactly what the differences would be.

  • Since Firefox v34, after Zoom text on a Google search page took me, the Google search page is empty after you click 'Back' to it. What is a v34 glitch?

    Since Firefox v34, search results page is empty, 1) by clicking a link in a Google search results page and loading of the linked page, 2) Zoom on the text on the page that Google took me and then without resetting the zoom text, 3) by clicking on the arrow of Firefox 'Back' to return to Google search results. If at that time I reload the page of Google results, or click back one page and will transmit then again, the full search results will be displayed then again.

    This happens on my Windows 7 PC as well as my Vista laptop. Is it a glitch with text zoom and Google in Firefox version 34?

    Sorry, this seems to be a problem with the cache in memory of Firefox: when you use a high Google zoom level the (the default setting) with "instant prediction results" then Firefox pips showing again after going back page (you can see the results for a fraction of a second before they white).

    Assuming you like your zoom level and enjoy using the instant prediction results, then the solution is to disable the part of the Firefox cached in memory by changing a setting under the covers.

    (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 above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers and change the value from-1 to 0 (that's a zero).

    (Please change not all other parameters similar to 0-sounding or you can disable the ability of Firefox to save/restore your tabs and windows open).

    Then reload the page of Google results and the test.

    Fixed? (Or should I say, worked around?)

  • How can I stop Firefox by logging into my gmail account whenever I go to the Google search page?

    I set Google as my homepage, so whenever I start FF it connects to one of my Gmail accounts. Always the least used too.

    Make sure that the box remember connect you on the page Gmail is not a tick.
