  • Search bar does not work.

    I am running FF25.0.1 on Windows 7, but I had this problem for several versions, do not remember when he started. The search bar does not work with any engine, I can type and the cursor flashes but it does not research when I hit enter or use the search button.

    I tried:
    -clean the uninstall/reinstall firefox
    -create a profile
    -in the course of running as an administrator
    -test in safe mode
    -suppression of research and searchmetadata.json, formhistory.sqlite, etc..
    -removal of the plugins to search then by reinstalling ff to generate news
    -use the searchreset addon

    After some of them, the search bar will work only once to help enter or the button before returning to the uselessness.

    I'm more or less certain that I don't have a malicious software. I do not use the address bar to search because it is a little more complicated to use terms, including the slashes or openings of the diaphragm, and put except that I do not have the functions which do not hang out.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • The firefox search bar does not work and when trying to manage search firefox engine crashes and I have to force to leave.

    My search bar does not work. I can enter text and the work of AutoFill, but when I hit enter or click the magnifying glass, nothing happens. (The address bar works). I can't change the search engine of google for other engines by default, but they are looking for either. When I open "Manage search engines" menu opens and I can make changes, but then he won't and I leave firefox to get the strength to normal navigation. It drives me crazy, please help! I tried to restart the search engine, my computer, changed such parameters suggested by other pages, but nothing helped. (Safari search bar works, but I don't use Safari, so I would really like to understand how to solve this problem).

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is two weeks.

    I had this same problem. Couldn't Google to search in weeks bar. Drove me crazy.

    Does what you has proposed and made a new profile, but simply copied to a file or folder at a time in the new profile in the Finder and started the profile to test to see if it worked or not for Google.

    It came down to formhistory.sqlite. The second I put that in Trial, the Google bar stopped working. Found out it just saves your form history and past Google searches, so I'm ok with starting over on that. I'll just have to enter my address one more time on the next form I fill out.
    

    I tried just compensation history form and search in Firefox, but that does not solve, so I went ahead and made another new profile and replaced the formhistory.sqlite from this profile file my trial period. It worked, then I did the same thing with 'default '.

    Problem. Solved.

  • Firefox address bar does not work

    I recently updated my software Kaspersky of Kaspersky Internet Security Kaspersky Total security, 2015 at around the time that Firefox automatically updated from version 35 to 36. I don't know if the update of Kaspersky has nothing to do with the problem, but now the Firefox address bar does not work. I've 'come down' Firefox to version 35, but it still does not work.

    You can add a URL in a window of the Firefox window (Firefox or Google) search engine, and that works, like clicking on the hyperlinks that appear. But the address bar is totally dead! The address in my browser Google toolbar also works OK

    I hope that someone familiar with the operation of Firefox knows how to solve this frustrating problem as I prefer Firefox Google.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

    Hello

    I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

    When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

    I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

    Any suggestions please? Thank you.

    Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

    Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

    Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Laptop computer Toshiba space bar does not work

    Hello

    I have a toshiba satellite, computer laptop windows 7. About a month ago I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard and now my space bar does not work. I bought a USB keyboard and connected to my laptop and I'm still having the same problem (USB keyboard SPACEBAR does not work). I am currently using alt + 255 instead of the space bar that takes time. What can I do so that this problem be resolved? Please help, I'm desperate!

    Hello

    Test space: try the bottom left edge, top edge, edge straight and at least 3 spots on the top of the space bar

    Still no space for any position?

    Hold the FN key?

    My first suggestion would be to buy a can of air and blow under the two keys.  See how much "dirt and dust or" or whatever it may be below the key.  Test your keyboard again.

    If you still get no response from your space bar, try

    Panel, on ease of access, click Accessibility, and then clicking on the computer without mouse and keyboard.

    Check the use on-screen Keyboard.

    Using the keyboard on the screen for a few minutes then go back and disable it.

    Try keyboard Satellite - space works now?

    Safe boot mode. Space bar works in Mode safe?  If so, it's a software problem.  Perform a full recovery to the default settings.

    Another possibility would be to remove the keyboard and check the connection of the cable to the motherboard.  Some are pushing and some adjustment tight connections.  Give visual control and also make sure he feels comfortable and tight.  Once more to test your keyboard.  If it still does not work, I would say replace the keyboard.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones middle of the space bar does not work?

    Hi all

    I used a company Blackberry issued before, but I just bought myself a new model of the curve a few days ago.

    I had a hard time typing today, and I realized that this is because the part of the space bar does not work. Specifically, if I push on the left or right edge of the space bar, I get a space. But if I press in the center of the space bar, the button clicks but 2/3 of the time that no space appears. So I have to press the button 2 or 3 times to get a space. Or I have to press the edges of the space bar.

    Is this a problem with my specific blackberry or this entire line has this problem?

    I should ask T-Mobile for a repair or replacement? I just got a few days... someone had success treats this issue before?

    Thank you all!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    I've not seen all messages more precisely the space bar. It may be as simple as a dust or dirt stuck under the key.

    If it was me, I take it immediately and get a new one. It may be defective. Why pay good money for something that may have a permanent problem?

    I hope this helps!

    If this answers your question, please close the message by using the options on the key of the kudo.

    Thank you very much!

  • Hi, my navigation bar does not work and only the white pages are displayed

    Hi, my navigation bar does not work and that white pages are displayed - I watched the debate and made sure that each page is checked on "Export Page"; I checked that all pages are included with hyperlink. I deleted everything and started a new navigation bar; I have created a new site and started from scratch... nothing seems to work!

    It does not appear in the preview IE. I created 4 pages and when you perform a navigation bar, the title of the pages appears but when I saw and click one of the links, I get a full blank page with no navigation bar. What I am doing wrong? He worked for a time perfectly, but no more.

    Also, is it possible to manually check the links to see where I am redirected to?

    Thanks for sharing the file with me. Everything looks fine when I checked your file on my machine.

    Clear the browser cookies could solve the problem as default browser preview Muse use to render the pages.

  • The 'Awesome Bar' does not work. He does not remember anything of the bookmarks

    Just updated again Firefox. In the past, when I'd start typing a site in the firefox address bar it would complete as it was already in my favorites. But now it does nothing. It just sits there waiting for me the full address. I could start typing Netf and it automatically end Netflix.com

    Why is happening. Also, for the first days of the new version I had to go back in the tools, Options and reset things at least 3 or 4 times before they finally remained as I wanted.

    I would say he never remember history and after while I would look and he said, do not forget history. I wanted a blank start page, and not to change it. It's normal now but the Awesome Bar does not at all.

    Your bookmarks are displayed in the drop-down list auto suggestion?

    Otherwise: Under Options > confidentiality, in the lower part, does always show that Firefox should suggest bookmarks in the location bar?

    If auto-suggest works but the AutoFill does, you may check that it has not been disabled 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 search above the list box, type or paste autofs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If browser.urlbar.autoFill preference is "BOLD" and "user" false, double-click it to change its value to the default value true. It should work in new tabs.

    It already is the value true, hmm, I wonder if there is a problem of private browsing? (I didn't test with automatic private browsing).

  • Search by name function does NOT WORK.

    Before reading further, make a note of this: I have ALREADY installed the add-on "Search by name", and it DOES NOT WORK. By result, please do not suggest this add-on as a solution to my problem, since the module IS my problem.

    I used Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to switch to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, searching by name function has stopped working, that is to say: I used to be able to type "yahoo" in the address bar and go directly to yahoo; now, when I type everything that is not a full URL in the address bar, he goes to allied.com. I've been in: config and changed the keyword: URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & sourceid = navclient & gfns = 1 & q = and have also installed the add-on search by name. None of these work. Please help me.

    Because of this definition of the keyword. URL pref stay?

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

    Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
