  The problem seems to be that you could not initialize correctly the file chromeappsstore.sqlite.

  Removal of the chromeappsstore.sqlite and the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref reset and restart Firefox should solve this problem, but in you case even a manual edition does not.

  @cor-el: this would probably work if you want to restore the default value.

  I have changed my encrypted google search engine on "subject: House" with these steps:

  1. download sqlite browser.
  (I used this: website (sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net) / victory of direct download)

  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" "}

  • Encrypted Google:

  {'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms _" "}

  • Yahoo:

  {'name': 'Yahoo', "searchUrl" ': "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=_searchTerms _" "}

• I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

  Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1

  It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

  And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

  Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

  Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

• Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

  After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

  If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

  I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

• Firefox address bar search engine keep the reset to go back home

  I downloaded the Manager to go back (http://www.fileservemanager.com/) a few months ago and used it briefly before uninstalling. The program has installed a toolbar by default, and I made sure to remove this too quickly. The problem I have is that the search engine for my URL guard bar reset to fileservehome.com whenever I start Firefox. I can reset the password key. URL about: config, but whenever I start FF he changes back. I tried searching for 'back' in the subject: config search bar but nothing happens. I deleted all the files on my computer with the word go back in there and I ran malware bytes multiple times. I restarted firefox with no extensions running and it still happens. I am running Firefox 4 and may not know how to fix this shit. I don't want to switch to Chrome, but it might be my only option if I can't understand it... If you have an idea on how to fix it please let me know!

  had the same problem and found a good solution I've done has been

  It's on a windows 7

  Reach
  My computer-> C:-> users-> (name of your computer)-> AppData (hidden folder)-> Roaming-> Mozilla-> Firefox-> profile-> .default (random alphanumeric combination)

  ex. C:\Users\Elli\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\89rnmjg8.default

  It's mine, Elli and 89rnmjg8.default will be different

  here find user.js open it with Notepad or some other advanced editor (Notepad or ultraedit) inside you will see the annoying url of fileservetoolbar change to your desired url and save mine was

  http://www.Google.com/search?btnG=Google+search & q =

  (of the query, not the lucky thing of feeling generic google search)

  Note that you must change there the next time you want to change it, you cannot change it to about: config, if I discovered how change it I'll tell you, maybe you can uninstall firefox and remove all files related firefox there are like all profiles and stuff and start from scratch.

• Topic: search engine at home, how can I change to DuckDuckGo?

  I want to be able to use the DuckDuckGo search engine on the subject: config page, but I have tried everything and I can't make it work.

  I tried the following:
  1. create a new Firefox profile with all of the default settings, without extensions, plugins, custom settings, NOTHING.
  2 fact DuckDuckGo my search engine by default in the search box
  3. check these settings in all: config

  browser.search.selectedEngine; DuckDuckGo
  Browser.Search.Order.1; DuckDuckGo
  Browser.Search.defaultenginename; DuckDuckGo

  I restarted the browser several times and all I get is a completely insensitive search on the subject box: home page. Nothing happens when I click on the button Search, after that I put browser.search.defaultenginename to DuckDuckGo.

  Help, please

  It must have been a problem with the search plugin.

  My following search plugin xml file:

  <SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
  <os:ShortName>DuckDuckGo</os:ShortName>
  <os:Description>Search DuckDuckGo (SSL)</os:Description>

    <os:Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/>
    <os:Param name="kd" value="-1"/>
  </os:Url>
  </SearchPlugin>

  The search box works now!
