• How to change Mozilla.cfg to set google as default search engine

  Need help with our setting mozilla.cfg file to change the default to yahoo search engine to google.
  Browser.search.defaultenginename in comments: config already has the default value of 'google', so doesn't justing adding this line of modzilla.cfg - ' pref ("browser.search.defaultenginename", "google", as its currently by default.)

  I noticed that if I manually change the search provider (thru the interface), then this value changes from 'default' to 'user set', which retains google as the default search engine. So how do I either set this value as 'user set' within mozilla.cfg, or use some alternative?

  You can restore the change in Google Yahoo search engine in the Firefox 34.0.5 by enabling / disabling browser.search.isUS to false.
  Note that only 34.0.5 replaces the default search by Yahoo! engine.

  • browser.search.defaultenginename.US

• Default search engine & homepage

  I think I have a bug.

  I have my default homepage set to MSN and Google search engine.  Since yesterday, whenever I open Safari, it opens on the Yahoo search engine.  Even when I do a search.  I checked the preferences of Safari and it still says MSN for the Home Page and of Google for my default search engine.

  Unfortunately I don't have time capsule implemented so I don't think I can go back in time and reset for a first date... or can I?

• How to search the selected text with a default search engine?

  Hello

  Before the recent update of the search bar, you can select your 'current' search engine, and a search for the selected text (right click on the selection) would use this engine.

  Now, it seems that you can only search for the selected text using the default engine. If that is correct, it's a big step backwards for me. For example, I can't have Google as my default search engine and the search for a text selected on eBay!

  Or am I missing something?

  Thank you!

  R.

  I find this extension very useful for selected items in the web pages. It offers all your search engines with select > right click.

• Pavilion dv7: default search engine

  I suddenly research when I put something in the address bar of Yahoo.  I want Google as my default search engine.  What can I do to set it?  Thank you!

  Google provides a list of instructions for each browser.

  IE to navigate the options is a little different in each version.

  Here is a link to Googles list of instructions, which is perhaps the best way for you to get exactly the information you need.

  Click on the drop down arrow for Internet Explorer 8 + see what to do for each version of IE.

  Make Google my default search engine

  Hope that helps.

• After you install Firefox 23, I can't find any more Google as search engine in my search bar, and I can not also restore default search engines.

  Restore default search engines is dimmed, and when I go to Google.com to try to add it as a search engine, there is no option to do so.

  By default, the Google search plugin is installed in this folder:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins

  See google.xml?

  If this isn't the case, you may need to reinstall Firefox 23. No required uninstallation, you can get the installer on the following page:

  http://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (find your language and your OS)

  If you have google.xml in the usual location, it is possible for the data file which stores the search plugins is corrupt. You can solve that by renaming or deleting files below and have Firefox regenerate them.

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Switch back to Firefox and output

  Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename (or delete) the following files:

  search.json => rename to search.json.old
  search-metadata.json (if found) => delete
  search.sqlite (if found) => delete
  search.rdf (if found) => delete
  

  Restart Firefox. I hope that now Google will be reintroduced in the list.

• How to set Google as default search engine in Firefox 5? I tried several fixes, but I get a Yahoo instead of Google search.

  I want to use Google as my search engine, but no matter what I change the default search engine settings is still Yahoo.

  I would also like to have the track back feature when I opened a new tab, it shows often used pages that I can click on and open.

  First of all, thanks to dmcritchie. His solution was helpful. However, I didn't uninstall my Yahoo Toolbar because I have buttons, bookmarks, etc. that do not migrate.

  For those of you, like me, who want to continue to use your Yahoo toolbar as well as the use of the Google toolbar, here's another solution:

  Rather than uninstall the Yahoo toolbar just hide it. Go to the command bar, select view > toolbars > then uncheck Yahoo toolbar. (See first image)

  Then...

  1. Open a new tab.
  2. Go to the address bar and type auto: config and press the Enter key.
  3. A warning box appears. Close the box by clicking on the button "I'll be careful, I promise". (See the second picture)

  When the text comes up,

  1. Scroll down until you find "browser.search.defaulturl" it will be in bold. Third image, with the selection highlighted by me)
  2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
  3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:

  http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
  

  Then,.

  1. Scroll down until you find "keyword." URL"it will be in bold.
  2. Right click and select the first option which should be "modify", then
  3. Type (or copy and paste) the following:

   http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
  

  Finally,.

  1. Scroll down further until you find "yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src" again, it will be in bold.
  2. Right-click on the expression, and then select 'Edit'.
  3. Type (or copy / paste) in the following:

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

  1. Close the tab

  And you're done.

  This will allow you to keep all the buttons and bookmarks you have in your Yahoo toolbar without side effects unpleasant to have Yahoo away your research and give you the darned Search 404 error pages.

  I hope this helps.

  PS while you make changes to the configuration: automatic, be sure to copy the values that you are editing in a Word Pad document for later retrieval. Be clear about what "preference name" you have accessed and what 'value' you changed. " In this way, if necessary, you can always go back and everything returns to its previous state. I titled my document "Firefox AboutConfig Changes".

  Good luck!

• My default search engine has been on anything other than Google. How to switch this back?

  Somehow my default search engine has been changed to Google to what is called "My Web Search". I want to switch to Google, but I can't figure out how. I disabled the plugin and removed my options of search engine in the top right, but nothing has changed.

  You have My Web Search installed; Look under Tools > Modules > Plugins. He could have grafted in on something that you have installed. Always seek and opt-out when installing other programs and Add-ons that you install from sites other than the site of Mozilla Add-ons. My search on the Web is considered malware/adware/spyware by many. You must remove it.

  Step 1. You can check if you have one of these installed ' Fun Web products ' :
  Control Panel > add or remove programs: Ask.com Bar, my search bar, of the MyWay Bar speed, my search on the Web Bar, Fun Web products Easy Installer
  See:
  http://www.safer-networking.com/removemywebsearch.php

  http://helpint.MyWebSearch.com/intlinfo/help/toolhelp.jhtml#Q3
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin

  Step 2 You may need to change a preference to reset your default URL/location bar search engine:
  -Enter Subject: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  -If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise you'll be careful)
  -Filter = keyword.url
  -Under the filter, right-click on the keyword. URL and choose "Reset".
  -Restart Firefox (file > restart Firefox)
  See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.url

  Step 3 You may need to reset your homepage. Firefox can open multiple home pages. Home pages are separated by the ' | ' symbol.
