remove the search box from about: newtab page

So, basically the same problem here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998430?esab=a & as = aaq

With the exception of two major differences:

1. the solution provided in the above URL does not work. I tried to create the file in the appropriate location, and then close and restart firefox, create the file in another location, close firefox, move it to the correct location, and then restart and the same process but with my laptop stop and restart between closing firefox and reopen it.

2. the first time I open a new tab after opening firefox again once I get a super-zoom-in view of the bar of unwanted search with only a few pixels of the top row of the visible tabs, and in a strange move, there is no scroll bar to allow me to see the rest

Check through the properties in the context menu in Windows Explorer as userContent.css is a CSS file and not a TEXT file?

  • How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

    I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

    I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

    ...

    I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

    ...

    About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

    ...

    I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  • Remove the Google search bar of about: newtab page

    It's maddening, and why users don't upgrade their software. The 3 latest updates of Firefox have caused many to not open in Firefox https sites, but they work fine in Internet Explorer. Lowering the TLS settings in topic: config from 3 to 2 fixed prior to version 31.0

    When defective to fix today after the upgrade again, I became suspicious of Kaspersky and disabled who solved the problem of https. I'm still confused on why the Firefox upgrade resulted in Kaspersky blocks the application of any suspicious activity however. I think it's connected to the strange/unexpected uses of DNS server settings or a proxy.

    To add insult to injury, I now have a highly UNDESIRABLE Google search bar in the top of my topic: newtab 31.0 version page. Why? Who thought it was a good idea to Mozilla?

    If I wanted that Google (or any other search engine) to see each search query, that I come home, I set this as my home page search engine, or to drop Mozilla completely and use Chrome. When the Mozilla developers add this unwanted code in their browser, they are essentially removing the attractiveness of using it in the first place. Today, it is a loss that I spent all day playing with it.

    Again, this is why people don't IMPROVE not - this 'upgrade' has messed up my browser just as much as any virus has never.
    < / end mug shot >

    Thanks for the suggestions. I use the version of Kaspersky called Endpoint Security company and after much digging, I found a solution here:
    Kaspersky and Firefox SSL Bug

    The fix requires submitting a support request to patch pt133 in KES 8.1.0.1042 - the previous version of KES 8 (v.8.1.0.831) must be upgraded before you install the patch.

    In regards to the search bar, which gives a box to check or uncheck the box for this unwanted feature would be more diplomatic, but thanks for the workaround.

  • 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.

    This is a screen-cap of the search bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

  • Remove the plastic box from Toshiba - A30-203

    Hi Dan

    Sorry, but I don't know if you will be able to do it alone. As far as I know that the technicians use special Maintenance manuals where is described exactly how to do this and in what order the parts to be disassembled or reassembled.

    Just after these instructions allow you to do it alone. The problem is that these instructions are not public, and if you want to do only please be careful. A small mistake can cause damage.

  • 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 the search field in the new tab page?

    I just started to use the new tab by default FF page and want to remove the search box just above the tiles.

    Is it possible to do this without the help of CSS?

    You can hide the search bar and margins at the top and bottom with the code in the userContent.css file to get more space for the tiles.

    You can add code to the userContent.css file.

    @-moz-document url(about:newtab) {
     #newtab-margin-top,
     #newtab-margin-bottom,
     #newtab-search-container { display:none !important; }
    }

    Customization files (Web sites) userContent.css and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a file userContent.css (new) in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code into the userContent.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userContent.css.txt file

  • When I use search, Firefox doesn't let me finish typing the word. Strikes effect the page rather than the search box (BACKSPACE ex. goes back a page instead of a character in the box). How can I fix it?

    Thanks to Chris who answered the questionnaire.

    I had not restarted after you disable the SearchMenu. After you restart, it would seem that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. That was my suspicion. Once finding highlights a 'word' SearchMenu interrupts to offer her services. I guess I'll post on their advice, to see if there is a solution.

    I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Relocation of the recruit.

  • The search box is missing in Windows Explorer and the search is not available from the Start button on the desktop

    I want to search my hard drive for a file.

    I open explore and there is no search box, or all the options to search.

    I click Start.  There is no box that allows me to type in the name, I'm looking for.

    Any suggestions on what setting or service may be disabled or stopped which disables the search options?

    Hi jhblzk.  The name of the service is Windows Search, but even if it has been disabled, you should always see the box "search programs and files".  No harm to check though.  Press the Windows key and r on your keyboard and type:

    services.msc

    and click OK.  Scroll down the page until you find and make sure that the startup type is set to automatic (delayed start) and the service status is started.  If this is not the case, click on start and OK your change.

    If the service does not exist, go to programs and features in Control Panel and click on "turn Windows features turn on or off.  Scroll down and check Windows Search.  OK, your changes and restart.  The search box appears when you click Start now?

  • Removal of previous searches in the search box

    Hello

    When I visit some websites and go to enter something in the search all my previous research developed.  How can I delete my previous searches in the search box?  I know it will be something simple perhaps, but I don't have any ideas

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you

    Click on the search box, and then press the arrow down so that you get a drop-down list of all your previous searches area.  Select one, and then press shift + delete - they will be deleted as they come.

  • Commercial banner appears on the search box.

    When I go to the google home page and start typing my search, he jumps in the middle of the screen upward (probably to make room for results).

    However, as I continue to type, I very often get a banner shopping that appears right above the search box, immediately stop me from typing [see image attached]. I then hit the 'X' on the right of the banner before I can continue typing my search.

    It is incredibly annoying, because sometimes it will keep triggering whenever I click in the search box.

    It seems to be triggered if what you type is linked to something, you could buy, so for example, if you had to type the name of a book or a movie, it would pop up with a link to ebay or amazon and you give the best price for that item.

  • 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.
