• My default search has been hijacked by Wikipedia?

  My default search from the address bar has been hacked by Wikipedia somehow. Yes I know. Of all things, this diversion orders my research on Wikipedia. Only sometimes, however, not all searches are sent there, and I don't know why. I would expect ask.com maybe, but wikipedia. No lies.

  I tried to start in safe mode, and I ran malwarebytes several times. I managed to get rid of all my addons and nothings changed. Uninstall and reinstall firefox, delete the appdata files, nothing works. I try even a portable version of firefox, and after a few moments, I turned away again. I am at a loss.

  Y at - it known malicious software that would redirect to Wikipedia research? Must what steps I take to solve this problem? Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

  Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

  Starting from Firefox 23 keyword. URL pref is no longer supported and is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar like that.
  The search engine that is used in the address bar is the search engine that is selected in the Search Bar in the Navigation toolbar.
  You can install the extension of search by keyword to specify with search engine for the address bar and you can select the search engine on the subject: homepage via the windows of this extension, which is accessible via all Options/preferences: addons page.

  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

• How can I select 'search yandex' as a default search in the night Navigator engine 44.0a1 x 64

  How can I select 'search yandex' as a default search in the night Navigator engine 44.0a1 x 64?

  Now, I see a lot of search engines but did not have "yandex".

  And how do I install elements of Yandex, when this may be available?

  If you are not able to install a search plugin for Yandex from the modules or Mycroft site, you can try to install one on the site (this works in Firefox 41, I have not tested in every night):

  Visit https://www.yandex.ru/ and notice that there is a green circle with a + on it on the search bar of Firefox. Click on that and then find the line on the menu drop down to add the site as a search engine.

  I have attached a screenshot, but since I can't actually read the language, I apologize if it's totally another thing.

  To make Yandex your default, you can use the link at the bottom of the Panel to the Options page search section.

  Success?

  Regarding Yandex elements, is the problem that Yandex has not presented the extension to be signed by the team of Add-ons? It's something that you might feel free to encourage them to do.

• Funmoods has hijacked my Mozilla start page

  I use Mozilla default start page (topic: Home). Funmoods changed the Google search engine. I do not have the Funmoods toolbar & Funmoods isn't in my installed programs. Also, Funmoods is not listed as an add-on, or it appears in my other search engines. I want to just get rid of it. I have reset my default homepage of Mozilla (topic: Home)-no change. I went in: config & reset "browser.startup.homepage" and I always funmoods as the default search. Someone can understand where could hide from the funmoods & how can I reset my default google search engine?

  I think that the techniques in the following thread should run as long you don't have any what persistent extension: how it prevents 3rd party applications to change settings (for example the homepage) of the FF?.

  To eradicate any suspicious sounding or simple unnecessary extensions, see the list here:

  Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

• How do you define a default homepage for tabs

  Default homepage is pretty easy but when clicking on the '+' I want to open a tab the page she site for. You would think that he would make the default home page but it's not and I can't find where to put.

  Hi, the default new tab page is on: newtab (tiles/thumbnail images) that can be set or changed like this: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.url and make sure that 'Value' is defined Subject: newtab (click right to change, if necessary, by taking care of not to change what anyone else).

  If you want to have another page in the new tab, you can enter the appropriate URL instead of on: newtab (Firefox Start Page for example is Subject: House).

  Hope that helps.

• I have no enigines research listed in my "manage search engine list" and the "Show search", "Get more search engines" and "Restore Defaults" do not work.

  There is nothing in the list of search engines manage and nothing works to get them. Help!

  You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

  If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

  You can find the full version of the current version of Firefox 31.0 in all languages and for all systems operating here:

  • https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all.html

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

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

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