Search address bar still search via the engine chosen in the search bar

I think it started right after the installation of Firefox 23.0.1, before which a search in the address bar would always search Google.

Basically enter a string in the address bar will do the same thing as the search bar. If the search bar is defined on Wikipedia, in the address bar search Wikipedia. If the search bar is set on Youtube, it will search Youtube and so on.

When I have about: open config and I change my search bar engine (using the bar drop-down menu, which is the browser search), these two values change for this new search engine selected: browser.search.selectedEngine and browser.search.defaultenginename. Their status is "user-set" FWIW.

Note: When you install Firefox 23, I got two Add-ons installed that touched the search bar: organize search engines 1.7 and Add to Search Bar 2.0. Since then, I have disabled the two Add-ons, and it has not changed anything.

  • use a search engine in the address bar

    Hello

    for one or two years, firefox has had an update to change the search parameters.
    Before that happened, we used to use the address bar of google-search and use of the search bar for individual searches like imdb or in some cases use of keywoards for individual research via the address bar. The 'new' - versions of firefox (I guess it was the update 23 FF and all the following versions) replaces the browser.search.defaultsearchengine whenever you change the engine in the search bar. In this way, the two bars of Act quite the same when it comes down to research. It took some time for the (German) supportpages update to this new behavior, but now that this has happened, there is still no clue how to change it back to the old settings, where the search bar is the search and address bar only led to a search via google, when it was necessary.
    So how can pick us up with a search engine in the adressbar again without going through the embarrassment of having to choose the search bar engine?
    I couldn't find useful information or plugins and 'Smart search' and 'Keywords' are no option for us.

    I would really appreciate help with this.

    Thanks in advance

  • Although the home page of Mozilla Firefox uses the Google search engine, whenever I enter something on the address bar, I get Yahoo instead of Google expected search results.

    On the address bar, when I write something, I would get Yahoo instead of Google search results. I don't know how to change it because the Options under the Tools tab do not seem anything which changes the search engine for the address bar.

    There is a hidden preference that you can edit to make it use Browse of Google search of name that has been used in Firefox 3.6

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

    If after changing the preference it is still using Yahoo, there will be an add-on that is the cause. Check for modules of Yahoo and if not necessary to uninstall them. If you have the add-on of net assistant freeze.com , which can cause research go to Yahoo, uninstall this add-on - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • How do I change default search engine in the address bar?

    I know that in previous incarnations of Foxfire I could use about: config and change Keyworld.url to change my search engine default. I recently reset my Foxfire because I had problems with the original site and now it is set by default to Google. I don't want to use google. How can I change this? I don't want a search bar, I don't want to make a difference in a search bar. I want to just the address bar to work the way I have always worked it for me before. Can someone help me?

    You can change the search provider from the search bar that is automatically in Firefox by clicking on the arrow pointing down and put in service of your choice.

    If you want a custom search engine, you can access this Web site, click the arrow and click on "Add < custom engine >. Example below:

    If you don't want the search bar, you can "hide" it view by clicking on the button 3-bar menu, go to 'Customize' at the bottom, and then dragging the search bar in the box features and additional tools .

    Once you change the search engine in the search bar, you can hide the search bar and search using the address bar with the provider you have chosen in the search bar.

  • 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.

  • How can I get rid of ZoneAlarm engine of search in the address bar and of the way page search box?

    I downloaded ZoneAlarm firewall. There you install Chrome and choose its search engine when you download. I had heard that it was removed easily later. I have reset Google in the search bar upper at right.
    Now Firefox starts OK, but every time I will use a tab to open another search ZoneAlarm window is in the address bar and in the area of research of the Center, and Google search is in the top right search bar. How can I get rid of all ZoneAlarm search everywhere?

    I have the latest version of Firefox and Windows 8.1.

    You can check if you have the search engine of ZoneAlarm file in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program or in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

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

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    You can delete the search.json file and the possible search - metadata.json and the search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the program of Firefox and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How to make the default google search engine in the address bar.

    How can I do that when I search with my address bar he ALWAYS uses that Google, no matter which search engine is selected in the search bar? It used to be like that, but a recent update of Firefox it changed. Now, when I search with my bar address he uses the search engine selected in the bar... if research that I wanted to do, I would just use the search bar! Any suggestions?

    See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keywordurl-hack/

  • Cannot change the default to search engine address bar

    Whenever I have try to search using the address bar firefox search in youtube. I tried to go to about: config to reset keyword.url but keyword.url is not yet listed in the list of config. I tried manually in a keyword.url preference but that does not change.

    Change for Firefox 23, the keyword feature. Pref URL has been removed. The search box now controls the search engine that is used in the address bar.

    This restores this preference.

  • It is always possible to search with different search engines in the search bar and address bar?

    I used to use the address bar of Firefox to search for things on Google and the search bar to search for things on Wikipedia. The convenience, especially with the shortcuts Ctrl + L and Ctrl + K has been incredible and I don't understand why this feature would disappear so I guess that it simply was hidden without subject: config somewhere. How can I go on revenant Firefox which is previous feature?

    Note: I use the Nightly build of Firefox for 64-bit systems, if this issue must be addressed specifically to this branch of development please directly to where I can do.

    From 23 of Firefox, the address bar uses the search engine selected in your search bar.

    Assign keywords to your search engines, then the prefix of your search in the address bar query, for example

    g gingerbread recipes
    

    Google search for revenues of gingerbread.

  • How to change the address bar of search engine uses when you type in the search for something that is not Google

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

  • How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

    Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

    Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
    Remove the Yahoo toolbar

    1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
    2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
    3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

    Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

    1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
    2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
    3. filter by keyword
    4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    5. filter on defaulturl
    6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
    7. filter on ytff
    8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

    Avoid problems: Several software installations contain additional baggage called crapware. The Yahoo toolbar is packed with Java photo
