• Remove search engines integrated into Firefox nightly

  I use default Firefox-search engines, if I like to be able to remove all the Amazon, Twitter, Google nativelly installed on each version of Firefox. The current use and the beta version of Firefox, I am able to remove search engines built on the Android version, just the Add-ons Manager and disable the search engine.

  However, on the last Nightly build, search engines is not found in the Add-ons Manager. My phone is not rooted, so I'm not able to set the list of search engines directly by editing the files or the withdrawal through the list of search engines. Impossible to find a property in ' subject: config' either...

  You can always disable the search engines if you have root access on your device. Specifically, you have to shoot and edit the search.json file. On my camera, I have:

  ADB pull /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/rbn69ru0.default/search.json

  Now, by default, this file is not any format nicely, you can use something like

  http://jsonformat.com

  To clean things up. In all cases, you will see pieces such as

                "_id": "[app]/bing.xml",
                "_name": "Bing",
                "_hidden": false,
                "description": "",
                "__searchForm": "http://www.bing.com",
  

  You must take the "_hidden" flag and change for real. This, for all search engines to hide all the. Or else, frankly, just delete everything under the engines. Then, download the file back and restart firefox with a command like:

  ADB push search.json /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/rbn69ru0.default/

  Until the application is restarted, the changes won't be visible.

  As a slight note of the drafting, it is dumb that we have to do it by hand. We should be able to disable things under settings-> customize-> search settings or we should have some way to run things in topic: config. While I understand that menu to delete items that cause too much trouble to support, by completely removing the option even with about: config is counterproductive.

  Original title: How can I get this thing BING search my pc off. I looked in the control panel and can't find it. I have not install this but its there and I need out

• Instructions to remove the search engine do not work, the "delete" button remains grayed out check marks independently. Is there another way that actually works?

  The Firefox Support instructions below do not work in version 36. The button 'delete' is never gray State asset once the unwanted/s search engine are checked for removal. I tried one at a time and in groups, it does everything just as they suggest below.

  Delete a search engine

  You can remove search engines, that you don't need by performing the following steps on the search bar in the toolbar or on the page tab.

     Click the search engine icon and select Manage Search Engines... to open the search engines manager.
     To remove a search engine, select it from the list, and click Remove.
  

  If you accidentally delete a default search engine, click on restore default values to recover the default search engines.

     If you accidentally delete a search engine that you installed, you must re-install it.
  

  I found the solution, the surprisingly simple. Thanks to everyone for trying, but against all the recommendations after a new analysis of malware, virus and upgrade to the latest version released on March 5, 2015... Here is the fix:

  Left click on the dropdown search button, then left click on the "change search settings." Ignore completely the checkboxes as suggested by Mozilla. The text of the search engine you want to delete to highlight in blue in the Middle, click on the grey Out button below should become active. The only function of the boxes by the search engine will make them visible or not when using the search box in Firefox. The solutions proposed by others seems logical, but I learned more than 4 decades as a technician in computer science, opt for the simple solution first. Thank you all for your suggestions, this fix works for versions 36 and 36.0.01on Windows 7. I guess it should work for other OS also.

• How to manage search engines in Firefox 34.0.5?

  I use Firefox for some time now, but the latest version has screwed up the search bar. I have seen a few posts related to this, but none of them solve my current problem.

  I use and addon called 'add to search for' it allows me take bars of research on many sites and add as a search engine. It also lets you define keywords for different search engines. Version 33 and lower when you click on manage search engines, it is possible to change the order of search engines, change their keywords, remove them and even rename. With the update to version 34.0.5, all these features are lost. Keywords are still operating, but I can't modify or delete/rename of the search engines, I added. Does anyone know how this can be done? I wish I could edit the keywords and I would also like to be able to remove search engines, I added at this point Mozilla has done that hard.

  Any ideas?

• Can not remove permanently secure choice of search engines research

  Hello. I deleted all my engines except Google search. However, there is a single search called Secure. I manually delete, but if I closed and reopened FF it reappears. It shows in the search, as well as menu choices if I try to do a search, it shows at the bottom of suggestions of concordance.

  I did a little research, and it is not related to moy. I am running McAfee. I also McAfee Secure Search does not, but it seems not be McAfee. I noticed this after I have updated to the latest version of FF. I don't know how to remove it permanently. Any help would be appreciated. I added two screenshots. A watch what it looks like when I do a search, and the other when I go into the options for search engines. Thank you.

  It certainly isn't a search engine plugin.

  You want to look for in these places and see if it is sitting there and can be deleted?

  (1) for the shared search engine plugins folder

  Open C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\browser using the start menu or Windows Explorer. Are there records related to research here? Search plugins have an .xml extension and usually show the file type "XML Document".

  (2) current folder plugins profile search engine

  Try to open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Look for a folder named searchplugins and check inside for the unwanted search engine XML file. You will find there?

• How can I remove the search engine on my page in new tabs?

  Hello

  a year or two ago I spent hours trying to find an answer to this question and I managed to do it, but unfortunately a few weeks back I had an unexpected data loss, and I'm unable to find a solution to my problem more.

  By 'on my new tabs page search engine', I mean the dialog box with the choice search engine that did not exist in the previous version of FireFox. I want to not go. Not changed Yahoo, Bing or anything else - just.

  If I remember, the solution was to go to about: config and change the settings for those who would make the thing not appear at all (rather that remove entirely), but if you know how to do so that he went not only visually, but also officially, I'm obviously very well with this solution too.

  Hi, you are using an older version of Firefox, which can compromise your security. Update to 41.0.1, open the 3-bar menu > help (question mark below on the right) > on Firefox.

  After that, here's some additional information for reference: you can change the number of tiles on the page new tab in zoom in or back (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

  You can also keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

  It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles, scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '. - Editor of Configuration of Firefox.

  However, given that you want to remove the search box in the new page tab, I suggest you try the add-on New tab tools.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• How can I remove this virus from search engine 'Baidu '?

  Whenever I start ANY browser (Firefox, GoogleChrome...) Baidu opens as my home page.

  -J' I searched my entire computer, I can't find a Baidu.exe or signs of Baidu in my PC. I found a shortcut edit 'target' that adds a command to open some files in the program data (I removed that), but Baidu still appears.

  - And I can't go to Options > general or advanced since then, firefox crashes. (I think it's because the virus does not change all parameters)

  -J' scanned my complete PC with Malwarebytes, Microsoft Essentials and SuperAntiSpyware. They are 40 errors/virus and removed them, but that does not solve anything or the other.

  Then... How to remove a virus from browser search engine without going in the Options? Where should I start?

  You can open the topic: config page through the address bar and search Prefs that refer to baidu.
  You can restore the default user set prefs ("BOLD") via the context menu.

• How to permanently remove all search engines with a single click from Firefox 36.0.1 except Startpage?

  Whenever I start a session in Firefox, I have to remove google search engine, because he re seems over and over and over again, no matter what I do. Is there a permanent fix to just disappear for ever from my browser?
  Thanks in advance

  Do you mean that Google appears in the search bar, or in the search box on the home page of Firefox integrated? Or do you mean that Google buy your homepage?

  If Google replaces your homepage to start even if you have changed it in your previous session, there are a variety of possible reasons. This article describes some of them: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Another reason is as Advanced SystemCare or commercial software with a homepage protection function: it will cancel changes to browser settings to protect you from unwanted changes. But he doesn't know who is wanted and those that are not, then it undoes any changes. If you like this software, disable this feature, at least until you get Firefox works the way you want.

• How to permanently remove all search engines with a single click from 34.0.5 except Google Firefox?

  In previous versions, there is a Delete button or delete to permanently delete the choice of search engines. This version has several default choices that I can't remove. This is a feature that you deleted? Yahoo, Ask, and Bing suck.

• How to remove the Yahoo! search engine

  I have two yahoo search engines, appearing in the search box menu. One is Yahoo and the other is Yahoo! (with the brand of the explanation). It seems that Yahoo! has hijacked my browser as I am unable to remove it by using the search engine option to manage. Although it seems to be removed, when I close Firefox, I get a message indicating that a blocked program its withdrawal. Please tell me what I need to do to remove this fake search engine as it redirects me to what seems to be legitimate pages Yahoo saying the words I never typed cannot be found. Interestingly, redirects do not occur for all the sites I visit.

  Thank you, Tony

  Use most or all of the programs listed. Each works differently.
  If a program forgets something, another can catch it.

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  I removed the esarch bar, since I can get exactly the same functionality through the url bar (also called awsome bar, I think). I use several search engines but select the default ones with key words.

  The only thing I'm missing is the ability to access the dialog box "manage search engines". The only geto him he seems to be the drop search bar icon. Is it possible to access this dialogue without having to add (and re - hide the afterwords) the search bar?
