Problem with location bar search

Prior to joining Firefox4, when I type something in the box, Firefox would try to direct me to the location that I intended. But now with Firefox4, it doesn't happen again, and instead, it shows a result of research by the research of Babylon. What can I do about it? I've tried 'keyword.enabled', but it did not help.

The change between Firefox 3.6. * and Firefox 4 is how the location bar search. In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it performs just a search on Google, if you type in something that is not recognized as a URL.

To get the behavior of Firefox 3.6 on Firefox 4, you must change a hidden preference.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below (keyword.enabled must be set to true to make it work)

http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing traverse it by extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

  • How can I fix my Location Bar Search please?

    My husband downloaded some stupid Facemoods toolbar (it is USELESS with computers!) I have now deleted of my Add ons and programs, but it still affects my location bar search. I tried to go in keyword.url restore its configuration of default Google but it is already enabled by default and it is yet to come with this stupid toolbar search. Any ideas that I can do to fix this please? It drives me crazy.

    In case you need a deep cleaning, the security of the software Spybot Search & Destroy (Spybot S & D) is also supposed to clean up after Facemoods. This post describes the manual steps that it automates probably: Guide manual removal for Toolbar.Facemood - Safer - Networking Forums I have not tried it myself.

  • Problem with location Services

    MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012)

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E65)

    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    When I go to the Maps app and click on the current location, I get the message "cards cannot locate current position." Also when I drag the local weather on the notification bar is not find local weather conditions.

    I have ensured that allow location Services is checked under Security & Privacy Preferences. I signed on iCloud and unchecked localization services enable and rechecked it.

    The only time wherever I can run is if I go to the activity monitor and force them to leave the following processes

    com Apple.GEOD (923)

    via (919)

    This will usually get the time to work and show the current location, but it doesn't work sometimes in the cards.

    I provided the date and time is correct and it is synchronized with the site time.apple.com

    When I go to the time zone in the Date and time it shows the city closest to me marked with a blue dot, and if I go over it it says "unable to determine the current location at this time.

    I had this problem since upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan.

    I would also like to add that, in my house, I have an iPhone more 6s, two iPhone 5s, an iPad (Wi - Fi only) Air and two iPad 2 air (Wi - Fi only) who have no problems with location services.

    I have this problem too, but in my case if I returned to Yosemite the problem is solve, there must be something in El Capitan.

  • How to set the location bar search regardless of the selected search engine bar?

    The search in the address bar searches with the currently selected in the search bar engine with 23 FF. I find the annoying behavior, because sometimes I select different engines in the search bar, if necessary, but most often I just need to research that I make from the location bar wihout need to change the quick google search engine.

    Is it possible to customize the behavior, so that the search in the address bar still points on a single engine, regardless of the engine that is selected in the search bar?

  • problems with the firefox search engine

    When using my hotmail email today when I I closed it got stuck with the msn home page, I have managed to recover the firefox home page, but the search is made by BING, I don't want that I want as before google. It seems if be produced since firefox 18 was delivered

    Can any body help to get this back as before

    Try to reset default preferences with the SearchReset extension:

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    You can check the pref browser.search.defaultenginename (s) on the topic: config page to see if it has the value of Google by default.

    If there is a problem with the search through the default value: home page and then try to reset the search engine used on the subject: homepage.

    Reset the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone through the context menu by default on the topic: config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the on: default home page.

    1. Open the topic: config page through the address bar
    2. Type in the filter bar: mstone
    3. Right-click on the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line, and then select: Reset
    4. Close and restart Firefox

    If this did not help, then remove the button Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and repeat the foregoing.

  • Location bar search returns false favorites. Bug?

    Say I save a bookmark to "mozilla.org" and give it the name "XYZ". When I type "XYZ" in the address bar AutoComplete suggests the bookmark for mozilla.

    Now say I rename this bookmark, describing it as "ABC" instead. Now * two * 'ABC' and "XZY" will give me the bookmark for mozilla as a suggestion.

    In other words, location bar autocomplete seems to remember the old bookmark names instead of forgetting them. Bug or feature? If the latter, no way to turn it off?

    Hello oda.krell, I think it is a feature. It is not the old name of the bookmark that is stored - part of the algorithm which suggests results in the drop-down field once you start typing in the address bar will remember which characters you typed in and which you have chosen accordingly. This is done to this site plus the next time that you start to type the same characters from the list...
    This type of data is stored in the moz_inputhistory table in the places.sqlite file in your profile folder (which also holds your bookmarks and history). You can use an addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ to inspect or modify some items stored in this database.

    I have a problem where my storage coredumps (/ storage/base /) fills up very fast with files of 500 MB - ish called core.postgres. # (where # is a growing number of incrementally.) I can deleted files to this place and everything continues to operate correctly until it fills up again.

    I increased the size of the partition to/storage/core with GParted to see what would happen, and not surprisingly there continues to grow. I don't seem to be able to find any material on the topic using the KB so I hope someone here can help.

    Thanks in advance

  • location bar search does not properly

    Hello. I use FF 10.0.2 the address bar does not work correctly. two questions:

    1. When I type in the loc bar, I get a list of suggested sites, but when I select one, rather than open the page it just doesn't insert the http address in the search bar. Then I need to click on the arrow to go to the web site. Links selected in the search used to automatically open bar.
    2. smart key does not work. I have a few pages bookmarked that I have assigned a keyword. Unfortunately, when I type the keyword in the search and then bar press enter nothing happens. I need to type the keyword and then click the arrow for the keyword work. Until I upgraded to FF 10.0.2 would have opened the relevant Web page after typing the keyword in the search bar and pressing on enter without extra clicking.

  • Problem with task bar and appearance of the start menu.

    My account is the only account on my computer of the family that seemed to have lost the look of Windows Vista in the start menu and taskbar, as well as the windows that appear. It seems to resemble an earlier version of windows, but with the arrows and vista available, wait his gray. I went into the control panel to see if I had changed it accidentally, but he says he's still the appearance of vista. What happened since I restarted the computer the other day, and it's really frustrating.

  • Problems with the bar code reader sample

    I want to integrate barcode scanner in my application, but it seems to be a lot more complicated than I thought.

    I use the example of BarcodeReader, and when I integrate his code 1:1 it works correctly.

    As soon as I try to change, however, is not.

    I want to:

    -use without a cover and an animation

    -have everything in a sheet with a close instead of a page button

    When I place "camera.open ()" in onCreationCompleted, for example, the camera is displayed as you wish, but the bar code scanner does nothing.

    I also tried to launch the camera delayed (of 200 or 400 MS) using QTimer::singleShot in c ++, the camera opens but still no scanning codes bar.

    A comment in the code example shows "Temporarily work around a bug", no idea if this could be related?

    This class is very buggy. You need to do initialization twice, the other after a delay of ~ 200 ms after the first. This makes the sample.

    I was able to make it work with the one-time initialization by defining the camera right after the creation of barcode detector:

    camera_ = new Camera();
    barcodeDetector_ = new BarcodeDetector(this);
    barcodeDetector_->setCamera(camera_);
    

    But if I change all the properties of the camera (such as the size of the viewfinder) during initialization or in viewfinderStarted() Manager of signal, it stops working and initialization of the double notch should be used to do work.

  • I have a problem with the function "search".

    When I type in a file name in the search box on my WIndows 7 operating system, I started to find the info irrelevant. That is to say: I type in "To Do List" (looking for this file). Next, I get a reading of the CONTROL PANEL (1) section followed to "See the list of running gadgets" followed by a list of e-mail files.

    I started looking for a Word document and make me a bunch of info, I don't understand and no files with the appropriate words in the name of the file. Same thing happens no matter what I type in.

    Don't know when this started, he has noticed yesterday (September 18), but does not use the search function a lot so he may have been there awhile.

    In addition, what are gadgets?

    The control panel is normal; I get that too when I did the search.  Because you wanted to search for a file whose name is ' to do list', you can limit your search with the name: property.  Type:

    name: ~ = "to do list".

    Gadgets are dohickey things that appear on your desktop as something that gets information about the weather on the internet and you shows.
