Reinstall or change the setting of broken search engines

The Creative Commons Beta search engine addon seems to be broken for me in Firefox, taking me to a 404 every time page. If I try to reinstall it on the Creative Commons site I get a pop-up message: "Firefox could not install the plugin 'http://search.creativecommons.org/ccsearch.xml' research because an engine with the same name already exists."

Is there a way to remove this plugin so that I can try to reinstall? It is not listed under Tools > Addons. Help pages for Firefox only tell me how to hide the search engines, not how to delete really.

I use Firefox on Windows 7 34.0.5, all seems up-to-date.

Hello TimTylor, with CLOSED firefox, look a the Searchplugin .xml file in the searchplugins folder inside the Firefox profile folder and delete it manually.

( Default search engines all the plugins are in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder or the Firefox installation directory, but all custom plugins search engines exist inside the firefox profile folder :-)))

Thank you

    2 extract the zip file

    3. run ' SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1.

    4. open the "chromeappsstore.sqlite" file in your profile folder

    5. click the Browse data tab and double-click the value in the first row. (see screenshot below)

    6. Insert the desired value.

    As you will see the values in the example below, you can use any search you want and you can insert a "_searchTerms_" instead of the term research.
    I have these values:

    • Standart (google):

    {'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "_ http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms & ie = utf - 8 & oe = utf-8 & aq = t & rls = org.mozilla: en - org.mozilla & client = firefox-a" "}

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    Hello

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
    2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
    4. Double-click the item that appears.
    5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

    If you want to say to these forums as they are supposed to be the language you want to search the forums rather than the region in which you are. So, it is expected that English (UK) you use English (United States) at the top of the page.

    I know there are differences between British and English English American, but for the purpose of these forums its regarded as close enough.

    Without demotion no cab.

    The new workflow options are actually a lot better, because you are not locked into preset sizes among other things.

    (camera raw 8.1 you can get other sizes other than the settings in the options of workflow using the crop tool in acr)

    Regardless of the changes in the workflow options in what size, can be seen at the bottom of the dialog box camera raw before leaving the workflow options.

    (does the same thing as the old workflow options, just with much more choice about how, without the fixed sizes.)

  • How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!

  • Change the setting for the acquisition of IMAQ1394 speed by program

    Hello

    I use a pilot LabWindows/CVI and legacy NOR-IMAQ IEEE1394.

    I want to put the acquisition of speed setting in my program.

    MAX can do (there is a drop down menu to change the speed of 100 MB / 200 MB / 400 MB.)

    How can I apply this in my program? The problem is that I can't find the attribute to modify.

    For example, for the brightness, the attribute IMG1394_ATTR_BRIGHTNESS is?

    But for speed?

    If I take a look at niimaq1394.h I see a data type of enumeration, but nothing else on the speed.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

    Kind regards

  • When I change the setting by LabVIEW on my device, I see change on the monitor of the device?

    When I change the setting by LabVIEW on my device, I see change on the monitor of the device?

    This question should be addressed to the manufacturer of the device. From your previous posts, I guess you use GPIB or serial. If the unit has received the order, the manufacturer should be able to tell if no indicators on the device to update when the order is received. Based on my experience, however, the device indicators will most likely update on receipt of an order successfully.
