QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101__File Type problem! (Xp SP3) _ question: when double clicking on a folder in the search engine database appears and no files appear.
-problem happens after messing around with 'file types' in 'options folders' BUT the records may not configured properly to correct the open method by setting the 'file type' back to 'open' in the file types.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK... Expertise 101
History...
I saw a tutorial online on how to change the icons of any file (text, folder, programs)
In addition to the normal way to do it:
The normal route was right - click folder, text, program or folder etc-> choose Properties > then choose Change icon
The new way that I learned how to do that was - go to folder options in the control panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.
The reason for me wanting to do other then the normal way is because I would like to point out that all RECORDS USE DIFFERENT TYPE of ICON RATHER THEN DEFAULT UGLY OF THAT folder BROWN ICON that windows XP USES
the problem starts here... to (go into folder options in Control Panel > choose the 'file types' tab > find folder icon, click on it > choose Advanced Options > then choose Change icon.)
Note that these are two icon files: the 'Change icon' button is available and highlighted on a launched the Advanced button, but not on the other...
After messing around with New both of these icons of specific folder "Advanced settings" after closing and the application of the setting.
What is happening now, it is that each folder I usually double-click thanks to my system all what happens is that the search method appears average while displaying no other files in the folder it self.
I'm expieranced and you wrote the parameters passed to each "type of file"setting"for this purpose he adjusting back to the past and yet nothing happens...
THE QUESTION IS >
How to fix something like that
&
How do you get each folder in your system to view another icon rather than UGLY, LOW DOWN DIRTY DUNG COLORFUL FOLDER ICON DEFAULT.
For the immediate problem:

Search Companion starts if you double-click a folder or disk - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/searchwindow.htm
For the desire to have different color records, you will need to use a third party software. Search on Wincustomize.com or similar sites that.

I tried several times to get rid of DuckDuckGo. I use the search engine to remove it and whenever I restart Firefox it reappears as my main search engine. I ran Norton 360 antivirus after deleting DuckDuckGo and he finds any problems, so I don't know what to do next. How can I permanently delete DuckDuckGo of Firefox?

Ok. I saw messages that explain what the 'green point '. That's all fine and dandy. The exception - I WON'T!
When this pretty green dot is there, I can't right-click on the selected text and choose where I want to get him. The default search now only Google.
So my question is; How can I get rid of this shit? I have NO use for it. I don't want to. I don't need. I want GONE! I want the old cursor backward! (To add insult to injury, the cursor no longer appears even when the 'point' is not there.)
I'm using Firefox under win7 SP1 43.0.1
Thanks in advance for your help,
Yosen
The green dot with several white means that the site offers a search engine that you can add to Firefox.

Using Firefox 7.0.1; having problems with hotmail. Cannot click on controls at the top of MSG, which is New, reply, delete, etc.. Can click on the same commands @ the bottom of the problem w/no MSG. Also cannot click on Inbox folder once I have access to another folder. All known solutions?
This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.
All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger. I ran the fixes suggested in other threads with the same problem, but I still get Yahoo search results. Google is my selected search engine.
I noticed that the problem happens when I type my research in space on the search page itself. This search page looks a bit like a page from Google, but there no links etc than Google does. Instead, he has "SearchTech" downstairs (with Contact, privacy and terms). If I type my research topic in the menu bar the results come back in Google.
I confirmed that my favorite search engine is Google. Previously I ran LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons and removed three files to those who had been loaded on my computer today. I checked the extensions are that there is not.

How can I change the name of the search engine in the search bar?
I just added the Oxford Dictionary to my list of search engines in the search bar. Only problem is that it does not say Oxford Dictionary. It says ONO.
How can I change the list of search engines, I can change the more evocative name?
Are there not such somewhere or an XML file that contains these entries?
Firefox gathers information about the plugins of research from two sources - the default searchplugins folder that is shared by all profiles Firefox (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins) and the folder searchplugins in your active profile. They are combined into a data file named search.json.
I read a few threads on the net about the modification of these search plugins, and it seems to require some trial and error. Assume that the ONO plugin is in your profile.
Under help > troubleshooting information, you can click the open folder containing (pre-Fx12) or folder (Fx12) Show to open your folder of the currently active profile. Snap searchplugins. Here are the XML files you can edit in your favorite text editor. If you break one, you can probably just download again, but if you're a cautious type, go ahead and make a backup.
After the change the short name and save and close the file, change your probably not will immediately appear in Firefox because some trigger event may be necessary to update search.json. If the restart of Firefox is not enough, you can try to rename search.json before restarting, but this can cause you to lose the keywords that you have assigned through the dialog box handle the search engines.
In any case, it's all improvised that have not tried-TI-me-even, then I suggest to do some additional research.
(If there is an Add on very practical to do this, I don't find it.)

The Firefox search bar seems to have changed since the last update. I understand that things are changing constantly and get used to them, but I wonder if it is possible to change the rear bar to the way it was, or at least understand why it changed.
Basically, I used to be able to switch from search engines by choosing from the drop-down list, and would not put me right at the site of this search engine. He didn't actually bring me to the site once I hit the search button (or enter). It's quite annoying to have to remember to open a new tab before changing search engines in order to avoid sailing away from the tab that you are currently on, and it's also annoying that when you open a new tab and change the search engines, you are immediately taken to the site of this search engine. It feels like an extra step (ranging from 'the empty tab search engine page to search result' instead of 'empty tab to search result').
I know it sounds like a minor complaint, no doubt, but I'm really really curious to know why it was changed. More important, I want to know if there is a way to customize the way it was.
Thanks for any help!
Many users have been raising this issue. I mentioned the same question in this post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086138
In summary, it seems that the Firefox team is not intend to bring back the ability to return to the old bar search, which was possible (but in a very biased way) in older versions of 42. For now, you can either:
- Download module additional classic restaurateur theme to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/?src=ss and then select the old search option
- Go back to Firefox 42 and set the browser.search.showOneOffButtons property in Subject: config. However, with older versions poses a risk to the security that you won't have bug fixes provided with version 43

Change the search engine to the url of the specific Web site
I have the problem by changing the url of search engine for the url address bar and the search engine plugin. My version of Firefox is 35.
Specifically, I want to use Google.co.uk for each search, but it goes to a country different from Google.
I tried to change the subject: config-> keyword. URL: value: "https://www.google.co.uk/#q=", but it does not.
I have tryied changing the search engine plugin, which does not work either.
You need to install a search engine for your favorite country, then select this search engine in "Options/Preferences > Search" as the default search engine.

Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen
OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!
I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.
I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.
I hope this helps.
