• How to restore the search bar drop-down list and the search engine icon today as it was in version FF 33?

  Some ealier time, I managed to go back to the drop down list via editing about: config and setting browser.search.showOneOffButtons to false.

  But yesterday firefox asked me to improve my search and I agreed. After that, I see ugly new tile instead of the drop-down list.

  How can I go back to find it is old menu drop-down appearance?

  "browser.search.showOneOffButtons" was a temporary pref which lasted from Firefox 34 upward through 42 of Firefox. The underlying code that have supported this preference is gone like Firefox 43.

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ has an option for old search (experimental) in Options of CTR > UI (1)

• How to get back the old search again box?

  I just (inadvertently I might add) upgraded to Version 30 to 37 of the Version. I can't stand this format of search box. How can I get the old format of the box search once again, without the box to appear? I need to Google and DuckDuckGo and the ability to switch between the two as I did before. Thank you for your help.

  Hello Randy, you can have your 'old' search bar once again, go to
  topic: config, copy the next "BOLD" browser.search.showOneOffButtons and paste it into the search field, now
  Double-click on it to make it false, exit firefox and restart.

  Thank you

• Remove options for sites to add to the search bar

  How the little green plus can prevent appering in my search bar? I don't want to anythin other than Google. Since the last update, it is not possible to double click previous text in the search in any bar. It's super annoying, when you double-click the word under the mousepoiner gets marked.

  In the search bar and various other places, you can triple-click to select the contents of the entire (multiple words).

  If you prefer the old style search bar and you want to roll back the clock for Firefox 33 times, here is the way:

  (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 the Search and make a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.search.showOneOffButtons to true to false

  This does not affect the current window, but each new window that you open (Ctrl + n) will be the old search bar.

• I want that my previous method of search bar back. Changed how update the search bar works now and I hate it!

  Latest update of Firefox changed how to search bar functions. This should NOT be done automatically without warning of a person on the changes. I have problems using this new method of research, and I hate it. I want than the previous method return. A contributor has tried to help him, I guess. But what he suggested did not work. I can't fix thru on Firefox. A window opens and does nothing. About Firefox does nothing, but look at me. I don't know how to enter the configuration of Firefox. I appreciate the-edmeister tried to help me, but nothing has changed. There, someone knows how to give back me my old search bar?

  It's not On Firefox's Subject: config as explained here:

• The new search bar

  I generally use the search bar to get the work done. Today with the update, I noticed that Firefox has implemented a MAJOR change to the workflow here. The only problem is that it is exactly the opposite of the intuitive for me. Will there be a fix for this, or should I switch to chrome?

  To return to the change of research design bar, you can:

  (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 the Search and make a break while the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.search.showOneOffButtons to true to false

  This does not affect the current window, but each new window that you open (Ctrl + n) will be the old search bar.

• My drop down menu changed search bar

  Everything I see that I get help on the search bar in the upper right corner shows the emblem of a little search engine. I don't have much, and I can't get it back. Worse still, when I start typing, I search point that I must now address a long list of terms of indefinable query from nowhere!

  I don't know how I changed all form the way it had been forever. I want to just my little drop down menu with a few indicators of search engine to this topic, and I just want to see my previous research, not what is trendy!

  Hi relem, I have already explained the reasoning behind the change: it is now much faster and easier to use different search engines that your browser by one on a wide base. If you want to do in the old search bar, you must first define a different engine in the search bar, search & then switch back (because the default value is also used in the address/home/new tab bar). It's a simple click!

• I can't restore the pre-FF34, same subject through search bar: config does not help.

  Today, my search bar came to randomly search bar 'new' post-FF34. Despite repeatedly activating / deactivating the browser.search.showoneoffbuttons in all: config, then by restarting the browser to a dozen times, this topic stubbornly remains with the new search. Does anyone know how to do so that he can keep looking for old? Or download the about: config switches to work again?

  The underlying code for the browser.search.showOneOffbuttons has been removed since Firefox 43 - there is no way to return to the range of older research.

  What I've read here, this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ - extension restores the old regime of the search bar - but I have not tried yet, I went to ESR 38 when Firefox 41 was released.

• How to get back the search bar, for its old appearance?

  I use Firefox 34, and I can't stand the new search bar. How can I change this back to the old style? I tried to restart with disabled modules, so I know that the problem is with Firefox

  I can download pictures to explain better, if necessary.

  Hi thedude9821, you use something like the extension of the keyword search?

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/

  Which makes your address bar search independent of the default search engine, so your search bar can be assigned to your second-most-used plugin by default.

  As to what should be the fix, a checkbox in the options that restores the old option 'default used for the last' might be a practical solution. Just need someone to encode this weekend!

• My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop-down list back. I can't get anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless for me now.

  Update of the Firefox software appeared. I allowed him to be installed. He wrecked the bar/search box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL options would seem the search engine and I could easily chose a. It has been easy. Now, nothing. I can't find anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. I have to go out and spend another $ 1,000 to get a new computer? This is not good. You shouldn't do that to a person. Not everyone is technically advanced that some of you are. Now, I have no means to look for anything with Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your a software update messed me all this. So what should I do? IE is worthless. Not sure, not sure, can not trust him. Never works right. May not print correctly. Update Firefox shouldn't have messed up my computer. I need to search and now I can't. I mean, it's really not good. So, just for you called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the small, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is empty. White, white. Is no longer the quick menu drop-down window with all of the available selections of search engine. I have it? That's why I told myself. Have a real nice day!

  See this article to find out how the new search bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox

  If you want that the old regime back for that search bar.
  Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar) and turn this false preference
  browser.search.showOneOffButtons
  Then restart Firefox.

• How can I restore lost address and search bars?

  I clicked on something in the search bar options, and the search bar and the url address bar disappeared. So, how to restore the address bar and the search bar?

  Hi jackk1, you need to click right into an empty space in one of the toolbars at the top of your browser window and click on "Navigation Toolbar".

  If you still do not have the address bar or the search bar, you must click right into an empty space as before and click "Customize." You should then find the address bar or the search bar in the new window, and you can drag the this window on the navigation bar. Then close the window 'Customize' and that should be fine.

• After you install Firefox 23, I can't find any more Google as search engine in my search bar, and I can not also restore default search engines.

  Restore default search engines is dimmed, and when I go to Google.com to try to add it as a search engine, there is no option to do so.

  By default, the Google search plugin is installed in this folder:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins

  See google.xml?

  If this isn't the case, you may need to reinstall Firefox 23. No required uninstallation, you can get the installer on the following page:

  http://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (find your language and your OS)

  If you have google.xml in the usual location, it is possible for the data file which stores the search plugins is corrupt. You can solve that by renaming or deleting files below and have Firefox regenerate them.

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Switch back to Firefox and output

  Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename (or delete) the following files:

  search.json => rename to search.json.old
  search-metadata.json (if found) => delete
  search.sqlite (if found) => delete
  search.rdf (if found) => delete
  

  Restart Firefox. I hope that now Google will be reintroduced in the list.

• How to restore an item personalized in the search bar?

  I just bought a new comouter. One of the things I want to implement in this regard is the same set of options in the Firefox search bar. In my old computer I've set up Thesaurus of the ARTFL Rogêt as among the list of options for the search engines. (This Thesaurus is available on http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?resource=Roget%27s ) I created this so long that I don't remember how I did it, but it worked perfectly for years - I use it all the time.

  Configure Firefox on my new computer, it seems only authorized to search engines on the list of the search bar. How can I get my dictionary of synonyms on the list? How did I, passing at the time?

  I use Firefox 8.0 on XP on my old machine; 8.0 Firefox on Windows 7 on my new.

  Thank you for you attention.

• The old address bar was a genius - if I typed in the 'Welfare' or 'New York Times' Restaurant, he would go directly to the site. But I installed Firefox and now when I type words or phrases in the bar she a few Google searches. Any advice? Thank you!

  The address bar (address bar?) was always amazing to guess what I wanted to. I could type in any organization or the restaurant or the popular site, and it would just take me there. But now that I've updated, if I type something in it looking right on Google (that's what I already have a Google search bar for). Any help?

  You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.

  • "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky & ie = UTF - 8 & oe = UTF - 8 & q =

• Japanese version of Firefox 35.0.1 using old search UI?

  I just installed the en - us version of Firefox 35.0.1 on my MacBook Pro (under Snow Leopard) and the Japanese version on the Mini of my wife (running Mavericks).

  I was impressed with the new UI of Firefox's search and went to tell my wife how it works, only to discover that his Japanese installation of Firefox still uses the old user interface. There is no matrix options of search engine under the search string candidates in the shortcut menu, there is no "Search" pane in the preferences. Everything is just like it used to be. I tried to use the 'Refresh Firefox' option to see if it has made all the difference, but that only forced me to restore preferences and reinstall its extensions. The search user interface is always up to date.

  I was under the impression that the language of the user interface was only difference between different localized versions of Firefox. Is a common to see such a lack of parity in functionality between versions?

  You will see the search in the Options/preferences tab if the browser.search.showOneOffButtons pref is set to true on the topic: config page.
