Search Google is hijacked

(Almost) every time I use Google search, search turned on any number of other sites. There is "a lot" of these sites, too many to block individually. If use Firefox tools/options/life private and remove all the cookies that I don't recognize, research may work temporarily, however, cookies are written back very quickly and my problem of diversion is repeated once more.

If I block cookies 'all', some websites do not work (like, my Google mail, telling me to go back and allow cookies).

I tried a number of security programs (Symantec, Spybot, etc.), but the effect is the same as above, momentarily the diversion problem disappears, to reappear. Truly, effect of the apprentices of the wizarding school!

My feeling is, Firefox needs a quick fix for what seems to be a gaping hole in security in Firefox.

Probably caused by malicious software on your PC.

  • When I run Firefox I get msg indicating that the site is not reliable I get this for all engines of search, google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.

    When I launch Firefox normally it goes right to my Google page, but recently when I run Firefox I get a message indicating that Google.com is a unreliable site. I get this message for all engines of search, Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. How can I solve this problem?

    You run Kaspersky, correct? If you use the SSL scanning feature, Firefox must be put in place to approve the present Kaspersky false certificate to decrypt your secure connections. If you used the discount during the last update function - for example, Firefox says it's a bad performance and offers to restore some default settings - you have to do it again the installer of Kaspersky/Firefox.

  • Don't search google when a Word is written into the address bar.

    Already when I typed a word or more in the address bar, it would be to do a search on google. Now when I get back a Word and press enter it takes me for a while the page with the following message to this topic:

    502 bad Gateway
    Nginx/1.3.7

    To do this, search google when I type more than one word.

    Yes, when there is a single word, Firefox try it with www. at the beginning and .com at the end (depending on your situation). To avoid this, disable the feature of "correction" here:

    (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 filter box, type or paste the Correction and take a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to return false. This should take effect immediately with the following search, and you can close this tab.

  • R - click menu "search Google for" [text]

    My FF (13.0.1) intermittently offers via the click menu option right for "search Google for ' some text that I chose.

    AFAICT there is no rhyme/reason when it is and isn't, and I want to do it every time.

    I don't think I could be the only one, but maybe my research OS is not what it was.

    Thank you!

    Can you give an example of a situation where it does not appear, and text is selected?

    It does work in a text box or the entry form.

  • Search Google in Safari is slow

    I'm running Safari 9.0.3 with El Capitan 10.11.3 on a new Macbook Pro retina 15 "and have a hard time looking for the Safari address bar. Probably 50 to 75% of the time when I type something in the search bar to search Google, search hangs for a very long time, or just expires. At first I thought that this could be a problem with my home network, but it happens when I travel as well. Going on google and the search are faster, but often Safari crashes after I typed 'google.com '.

    I tried several fixes without result:

    -change the search engine in Safari preferences

    -Disable all my extensions

    -Disable all my plugins

    -Disabling the "Include search engine Suggestions."

    -affecting my DNS DNS OpenDNS & Google

    -disable the DNS prefetching

    -deletion of my story

    -suppression of the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

    -suppression of the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari

    -removal of the preferences of Safari

    If anyone knows something else that might work, I would be very grateful, so far my efforts seem to be worse

    Please start in recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select get online help. It will launch a clean copy of Safari. Some plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in recovery, you do not have access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so take note of those who before, if they are required for the test.

    Test. After testing, restart as usual and display the results.

  • Search Google Maps open text form field

    I would like to a user to enter an address in a field of text and then click a button on the same form which will open a google maps search that automatically uses this text field for the search value.  I tried to use "Open a Web link" in the action of the button by using the URL "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q & hl = in & q = this.getfield("address 1") .value' but who obviously search google maps for"this.getfield("address_1").value"."  Hehe.  Is it possible?

    Thank you

    Try to use the app.launchURL method, for example:

    var report = "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=" + getField("address_1").valueAsString;

    app.launchURL ({cURL: report, bNewFrame: true});

    You'll probably want to validate the address first, but you should get the idea.

  • Search Google went from my homepage - Firefox and win 10

    Somehow I pressed something and my google search box has disappeared from my homepage (BBC News). I use win 10.

    All suggestions greatly appreciated

    Hello

    I went into customize and after some scrutinizing screen spotted the bar and dragged to the menu bar. I had done this before but this time it was hard to spot in the options. It seems to disappear regularly because it seems 'catch' my portable hand on something on this new computer. The key plate seems mega sensitive and I will move to a mouse - safer I think.

    Thank you

  • When I right click on an image, I can't see the option "search Google for this image. How can I get that back?

    I don't know what that I have maybe changed, but right-click on any image, gave me the option in the Google search menu for the image. This option is gone.

    This is not a built-in feature. Have you used any of these extensions:

    You might first check the addons page to ensure that it is not disabled. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. On the right side, off the cluster of extensions at the bottom.

    If it is enabled, it could be a problem with some of the code in the extension is not compatible with Firefox 40, or one other extension it bumping from the context menu.

  • Embedded search Google on our site shows no results. Windows 8, 64-bit, Firefox 30

    We integrated into our Google search site. It has been brought to my attention by one of our employees that Firefox does not show the search results after a click on the search button. The question seems to be limited only to Firefox. Tested the problem on Internet Explore 10 and Google Chrome and both work as expected, showing the results on our results page.

    I use Windows 8, 64-bit, Firefox 30. The user whose question is on Windows 7, 64 bit.

    I used the Web console and there was an error message
    "TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary5337 is not a function". "

    I'm not sure that it is the root of the problem or not, but why would that work in Chrome and Internet Explorer and not Firefox?

    If you need to check it out, the website is http://www.dmns.org/ . The search box at the top right of the page. You will see that the page redirects to our ' / results? q = searchterm "." We are a scientific institution so if you type 'science' in the search box, you will be redirected to the page ' / results "with the query string of 'science' for the search term. But in my case, the search results below are white. If you search even if Chrome or IE results show very well.

    Oh, I don't have any add on installed on Firefox.

    Any suggestions or a fix would be great.

    Thank you.

    Problem SOLVED.
    It is probably still a bug in Firefox. Our Google search < script > that call the function Javascript to Google has been within the Body tag. I moved the Script tag in the head and now it seems to work as expected. In the new Firefox, are not allowed within the Body element < script > tags?

  • I delete search Google Firefox but it always comes back. How can I get rid of it for good?

    I deleted from my search provider Google. I've used about: config to remove all references to Google. After the closure of Firefox once or twice, Google is back and fits as my default search provider. I scanned for viruses and rootkits, but my computer seems to be clean.

    You notice other parameters to their default values being reset?

    Your favorite default search provider is stored in the file prefs.js, a settings file in your Firefox profile folder. Some 'cleaning' software can remove this file at intervals, and some software that protects you against changes unwanted browser can be replaced by an earlier version of the file (for example, functionality of surfing protect against Advanced SystemCare can do). This article has more suggestions of resets settings diagnosis: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • Search Google bar suddenly does not work?

    A few days ago my google search bar (top left) stopped working. I type in the search and press ENTER, and I get a 404 error page not found (it's his address: http://404.sendori.com/hi & 404handler = true). Written 404 not found error is "nginx/1.2.6", if it means something to someone. I tried a few simple edits I've seen on the forums, as caches of reset. All the other search options, like yahoo and bing, still work, but not Google. How can I fix?
