Search for Firefox homepage

I want to change the home page in Firefox or page, use the default home duckduckgo search engine. I'm tired of Google! and I'd like to keep the start instead of the duckduckgo homepage page.

Thanks Nelson.

All three 'search' features (topic: host, address bar and the search bar, as well as the search function of context menu) using the default search engine - change it to what you want.

    In addition, your Firefox is identified at the forum as version 38. An update is available: this article describes how to get 49 Firefox using the "About Firefox" dialog in the menu help: Firefox update to the latest version.

    If something is holding you upgrade to Firefox 49 (or if you use the ESR, Firefox 45esr series), please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds. Version 38 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version.

  • A site called abuchak took my search for firefox Macintosh, how do I get rid of it and keep my favorites?

    Whenever I type a keyword in the search box on Firefox immediately opens a new tab for a search engine called abuchack and next to the search box, it says it's a google program.

  • I would like to delete search for firefox

    I would remove all THE features of firefox's search. If I want to look for something that I do not have a bookmark internet, I goto the URL bar and type the address of a search engine of my choice and go there. I've NEVER used the search bar. (It is not a malware related issue, it works perfectly except there seems to be no way to remove it from the GUI.) I unchecked all engines of her research in the hope, it would just withdraw, but always without success. Is there a hidden option somewhere, I'm missing? See image attached to see the search bar, I want to talk. (Yellow highlighted area) If there is no way to remove it, it's fine, I like to keep my bars all clean and tidy, and it's disconcerting to my web experience to have some useless bars on my GUI.

    Sincerely,

    You can move the search bar to the palette of customize, customize or mode by right-clicking on the search engine icon (remove toolbar).

    If you want to go further, you can define browser.search.selectedEngine on: config an empty string and optionally remove search engines integrated into the '\browser\searchplugins' file in the Firefox program folder.

  • In WIndows 8, the Google search for Firefox (only) appear in a column on the left side of the window.

    Firefox (25.0.1) and Google worked well together until the 26/11/2013 when a guest user searched on Google. Google search still works fine on IE and Chrome. The problem is that Firefox and only with Google. Bing, Ask, Yahoo, Wikipedia all perform and appear as expected. Installs any recent or upgrades. No other search engine returns the results in a column on the left. It's as if the guest user drags it results to the left column and the display became the default.

I have disabled all addons (I didn't have any) and run in safe mode, the problem persists. Aspect is default 25.0.1

    On Mac, this most commonly seems to be caused by Spigot or pipe modules, or something else that snuck in without being detected with other software that you downloaded.

  • Is there an API for Firefox search of certificates in the storage of certificates of Firefox?

    I'm trying to find an open source API available to search for a specific certificate issued by an issuer in my storage of certificates. Do you know something that could be useful to me?

    Thanks in advance!

    The db should be cert8.db and it's accessible with a software able to read db. To be sure: profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

    These are the Tools https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Tools#dbck

  • 'Search' homepage won't work, searching for words, should go to the address bar to get one will search for.

    When I go to the start page, after clicking on the icon for Mozilla Firefox, if I type in the box and press 'Search', it does nothing. I have to go to the top of the address bar to search for anything. This isn't like Google, where I can type a few words, for example, CBS (the station news and hit search and get results). Any ideas?

  • Can I put in start page for Firefox with a different search engine, not Google?

    I remove all things 'Google' from my computer. I want the Start Page for Firefox, because I can get to options, modules, etc. and I don't want to lose this.

    Easier is to select the preferred search engine in the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to see the name of this search engine in the pref browser.search.selectedEngine and copy its value to the browser.search.defaultenginename pref.

    Firefox should use this search engine on the subject: home page after a closing and restarting Firefox.

    If this isn't the case, then you can have an extension which is predominant, especially if the pref change.

  • Search for right click Firefox 13 - stay on the Page After searching as Previous Versions

    Hello

    When I highlight and click right a word on a page and then click on "search Google for ' the result opens in a new tab - as expected. But in firefox 13 it switches immediately to the new created google search tab.

    In previous versions of firefox it would stay on the current page and leave the new tab on google search in the background ready to be open when I'm ready.

    I would like to know how to change this feature in v13 to the way it was in previous versions, as described above.

    Thank you.

    Hello apple_juice, you can enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox, confirm the notification of information (in the case, it turns out), search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground & switch true by double-clicking it. that should bring back the old behavior...
