• How can I delete google custom search bar of about: newtab page

  When I open Firefox or a new tab I updated: newtab which is great and all. Recently, I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page, however, it immediately affect my cursor. I type in the address normal upstairs bar. If I do not do that tedious extra step click on the address bar before typing, it opens on Google Custom Search Engine. Has no images, maps, etc. the tabs along the top. Make a simple task to find something or other but just that much more boring to do, because I have to type in the address in bar.

  So I was hoping there is a way to remove this search bar Google annoying custom of my remarks: newtab?
  Or at least get my cursor in the address bar, not the bar Google Custom Search.

  It is in the separate search bar, not the URL bar that can also be used as a search bar. It seems to happen only with selected Google. If I choose one of the other search engines to the search bar, then the problem goes away. I use the latest version of Firefox on Mac/Mavericks.

• The Google search bar is more related to Google, then when I try to search something nothing happens.

  The Google search bar in the top right contains more the search engine Google. I tried to add it by going to Google.com , but when I tried to add it, it does not recognize something to add. I also tried to go through the list of search engines provided by Firefox, but there is so much of different created by so many different people, I had no idea that who to choose.

  Click the arrow on the search bar and use the option "manage search engines" then use restore defaults, which include Google again in the drop-down list, and if you click on google it will become the default search engine.

• Cannot change the Google search bar

  In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

  Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

  I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

  /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

  the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  Thank you

• How can I get rid of the google search bar? I don't want google

  My browser is set to duckduckgo.com , as is the search bar on the top left.

  When a new tab is opened, there will be a google search bar in the middle of the page. I want to go Google.

  Is there a way to get rid of him. I don't want anything to do with Google.

  Can you give me instructions on how to get rid of it. I found the google.com/firefox and thought I might be able to remove it from this way, but it will remove Firefox altogether?

  Here's how you can reset which appear in a new tab. If this setting does not stick, one of your modules could be replacing it.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste newtab and make a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

• I lost the google search bar

  I lost the little google search bar located on the right side. All the previous suggestions do not work.

  You have removed the buttons on the Navigation toolbar by accident.

  If you right click on an item to toolbar in normal mode (non-personnaliser) mode, then you can remove this item from the toolbar.

  • "Remove from toolbar" will remove this element of the Navigation toolbar and moves it to the palette to customize (Firefox '3-bar' menu button > customize)
  • "Go to the Menu" will move this point '3' dropdown menu Firefox button bar
  • "Move to the toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox dropdown menu button will move that point to the toolbar

  You still have the Navigation bar with the visible address bar?

• Can not find the google search bar to change the search on my home page engines

  As I said above, I don't know why I can't find this combo on my MSN with Firefox homepage for the ability to change search engines. I had been doing network search more which I think is a third-party program probably from my old messenger more but I deleted it and there are still times when I search especially when it private so I thought that if I went to him and removed from the drop-down list, I would like to be rid of it. I can't find this low google drop list to this; However.

  If you click on Delete on the shortcut menu, and then you remove the item from the toolbar and move the palette to customize.
  You can open the Customize and drag the search bar on the Navigation toolbar, or even to the '3 - bar' list drop-down menu button Firefox.

  • Firefox '3-bar' menu button > customize
  • View > toolbars > customize

• After the update, pressing enter didn't work more to go to a URL, nor does in the Google search bar thing.

  Pretty much what is said. I've updated to the latest Firefox, and now this really irritating thing happens... There are also a lot of places. Specific things:

  • By clicking on the address bar of all, does not bring the thing little cursor flashing and gives me generally no indication that I actually clicked on the URL. Even with this small google search thing in the upper right corner.
  • More frustrating, when I press on enter after putting in a URL, it will not even go to the site.
  • After having upset both of those things, I try to type something on a Web site, and although the URL is immutable, it starts to fall a lot of suggestions from my story.
  • Finally, when I'm doing my crosswords on the Washington Post, and I switch to a different tab to type something on there, it is not pass my typing thing - it remains on the crossword, typing things into that, rather than in the input field, I clicked on start typing in.

  So, Yes, it's very embarrassing, and I'd be delighted for all the help for these issues...

  I look at the FAQ and they said something about the thing AVG SafeSearch, causing one of my problems, but I do not have this extension, this certainly isn't that!

  You encounter this bug that will be fixed in Firefox 10.0.1, eventually published later this week.

• How to remove the Babylon Search bar?

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G6 and at some point, were able to be infected by the research of Babylon that HI-jacks of the engine your own preferences system and re - directs you to their search bar. The program is not found when you search in the control panel "uninstall a program". I think that it is a form of malware, because it has a little information when you Google, especially on how to remove Babylon Search bar.  I tried some of these but not luck. I also tried the system restore, once again without a bit of luck. I just hope that someone out there has had and managed to remove it successfully. In the affirmative, please let me know what I need to do.

  Thanks in advance
