• My list of carefully arranged search engines started back in alphabetical order, not after each reboot, but irregularly. No idea why this is happening and how can I stop it please?

  This started to happen out of the blue, not after the installation of a new add-on, nor change any settings that I can remember.

  You can (re) order yourself if you click the icon to search on the search bar engine and manage search engine opens.

  Which can happen if the database search.sqlite file was deleted and then recreated.
  
  You can make a backup copy of this file.
  
  Then you can restore it when it happens.

  Do you have a cleaning running software that could be the cause?

• Firefox won't open any search with a search engine query. All are UNTRUSTED.

  I run the operating system MS Windows 7 Premium with Kaspersky as my security software.

  Then checked again. It seems to be security settings of Firefox and not Kaspersky causing the problem. Just in case it's Kaspersky, I added Google as an exception, but the problem persists. I also added Google as an exception of certificate in the Firefox config. and the problem still persists.

  The problem:

  I just can't open any page of web search in Firefox through any search engine because Firefox says that all are "unreliable", but I can open these pages in other web browsers.

  Any search gives this:

  Well the miserable loader does not load the image. So much for this, but basically, the notification is that "THIS CONNECTION IS UNTRUSTED" and the issuer of the certificate is unknown. Says error code "unknown sender".

  I do not get the ability to ignore the warning, so I have no other choice but to close the page each time. A nightmare, what makes Firefox unusable. Not sure that this is being caused by a recent Google update or the update of Firefox.

  I've checked then once again my security settings of Firefox and for the life of me, cannot understand why this has suddenly started happening out of the blue.

  Please note:

  1. I have Google as my search engine by default and Firefox as my home page.

  2. I've updated automatically, but had to remove like my Firefox default browser - temporary I hope.

  3. I've never used the default theme of Firefox.

  4. I already re-set/updated the browser by using the refresh/reset link in everything: support/troubleshooting Information. That did not help.

  5. I have Google as a reliable (in exceptional cases) site, in Firefox and Kaspersky, but that doesn't seem to help.

  5. have you spent to help and clicked on everything: firefox and get this report:

  Well there it is again - uploader is still running madly and never deliver - 10 minutes later - nothing downloaded. Version control on my Firefox in a dialog box States: 'FIREFOX 40.0.2 Firefox's update

  6. again on another page the search for my problem, I see this:

  Far out! Why this uploader freaking does not work? I have to type everything, besides being tedious, this gives you no verification. A line of text after another says:

  "Congratulations!" You use the latest version of Firefox.
  "Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox. Update on the Google game'
  "Contgrats!" You use the latest version of Firefox.

  Then further:

  In an area of button: "Refresh Firefox" I made according to the description.

  Immediately below that, it says:

  'Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox'... and in a direct link below:

  "updated to stay fast and safe"... Is this for real? [This would be more credible in a screenshot].

  7 about: support/troubleshooting Information I deleted my profile page and restarted Firefox by following the instructions.

  8. made no difference. Delete the file again and everything closed and restarted the system. That didn't work, either.

  9. all the text that I read in Firefox 'aid' resembles a cached page. I can't reveal all 'real' web pages in Firefox browser in Firefox support at all for some reason any.

  I love Firefox as a browser, but hate its constant glitches. For more than 10 years, I hate to admit it, I used that is never a problem. Then I switched to Google Chrome for another 5 years, with never a problem - outside the mining data and espionage which I hate and that's why I finally changed to Firefox. Firefox is the choice... but it's also a bloody choice as head banging and maybe it's just enough to make me give up on this.

  https connections are there to make sure you're traffic is encrypted and you talk to the Web server that you expect to. What happens technically with kaspersky, it is essentially a man-in-the-middle attack, which firefox reports to you as it should be - your web traffic does not go to google when you type in www.google.com, but for kaspersky.
  There are ways around that for av-vendors (such as the injection of their certificate root in the browser (it might go missing again after an update of firefox), but if there is a problem with you contact kaspersky support because they will be responsible for applying the product they offer properly.)

  in all cases, allowing the characteristics as https in your av software can even let you more vulnerable, because browser vendors have now greater expertise in how to use and implement encryption properly: http://www.scmagazineuk.com/updated-kaspersky-leaves-users-open-to-freak-attack/article/411470/

• The search engine used to open the selections in a new tab. Is not doing that. How can I get that back?

  I prefer Yahoo search. In previous versions of Firefox, the search engine could pull the top of the list of possible sites. By clicking on the link would open this site in a new page.

• When a new tab opens the cursur button in the address bar to search and not the search engine

  When a new tab opens the cursor will move to the address bar to search and not to the search engine, I put to a new tab page.

• New tab opens with the Bing search engine

  So I'm having exactly the same problem like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959280

  In short, I updated firefox and now the new tabs always open with a bing search engine. The url that keeps opening is: search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3312375 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = EB_SSPV & lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SP634F83D9 - 5B 86-4960 - A131 - 4A6C35FD668C

  I am convinced that this is not a problem with any add ons. I disabled everything possible that could affect it.

  I tried to use the suggestion of the top answer but in the subject: config section, I don't have a preference searchinnewtabeenabledbyuser name. I looked at all the others 'newtab' preferences related names and did what the original fold says (wrong type in the value section) but it did not work! There's a name preference called browser.newtab.url by the url that opens each new tab as the "value", but whenever I try to change it, it is just for this url.

  So, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. I hate Bing! Even more now that they pulled this shit.

  could go you firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of this page and paste them here in an answer on the forum? This could give us an idea of what's going on...
