• Unable to manage search engines, press ok nothing!

  I have a list of about 15 search engines added to search bar (all usual and famous sites), but somehow all of a sudden I have been unable to organize them or even to change order of them.
  When I select Manage from the drop-down list of the search bar search engines, that options window opens ok.
  Then, if I change the order or delete or even tap on restore settings by default, and then click the ok button will save ever this new settings or close the window and nothing to do other than press Cancel.

  After some tests, I found that changing the order of some engines work ok.
  I tried everything and I don't want to lose my firefox profile, there's a lot of hard work.

  Vallovic a coincidence I found the solution today and I was going to report to what is the problem.

  It is all caused by an add-on called «keyword.url hack»
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/keywordurl-hack/
  It solves the most incredible change of Mozilla, when they destroyed the independent address search engine bar.
  Unfortunately I need this add-on hard so I'll stay with the same workaround, you mentioned to solve this problem.

  I wrote a study on the page Add on reporting the issue.
  If you are not a user of it check your modules one by one until you find the bugy one.

  Good luck.

• Tried all your suggestions and always receive "Unable to connect" when using ANY search engine.

  Can't use any search engine of FF 40.0.3 on Macbook Pro model with 10.8.5 OS 9.2. Receive "Unable to connect" message when you try to use a search engine. Other than the search engine and Mozilla Web sites to connect properly. 40.0.3 on another Mac FireFox works fine without any problems.

  In addition, I can not access the FF "Get modules" page or the home page of Mozilla. Search engines will connect not their home page or the search bar. Problem just started. I had previously been upgrade and have resorted, FF 40.0.3 without problem when it was issued. Solutions of attempts included refresh FF, launch FF in safe mode, run with all plugins disabled, graphics hardware acceleration disabled. None of these fixed the issue.

  Had already tried your suggestions, without success, but has once again to be sure. Without success. However, I made a further exploration of my own and found out that IPv6 is set to "Link Local" only in my router. I have reset on 'Automatic', the router reset to update, and my problem was solved. So it was the IPv6 setting (unlikely) or the router reset (probably) that solved the problem, or it is your suggestions I tried and did not work, COMBINED with the router reset which solved the problem (quite possible).

  Thanks for the comments!

• I am unable to get my Firefox's search function to work. No search engine is selectable. What should do?

  Hello

  Refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox as his default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

  Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

  Refresh for Firefox:

  1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:
     • Click the menu button

       

       click Help

       

       and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

     • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
  2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
  3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
  4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

• How to add the custom search engine?

  Hello
  Firefox is a great browser especially for those who care about freedom and privacy. I would like to know why it is not possible to specify the custom search engine that you were able to do in the latest version of Firefox. I want to use the search engine google with https://search.disconnect.me/ which offers the possibility of anonymous research. I know that there is a plugin https://disconnect.me/search, but is not very comfortable with respect to the standard search bar. Thank you

  I read the solution proposed here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-search-bar-firefox-and-manage-search-engines#w_add-a-search-engine but in 36 of Firefox does not work

  TypeError message probably explains why you could not add the page of Mycroft search engine initially.

  When I search this exact error in Google, only that rolled up from July 2013:

  As long as the 'Integration of office of Unity 2.4.6' plugin is enabled I couldn't add to Firefox search engines.

  Note: this option is not a Plugin, this is an Extension and available on the page Add-ons with other extensions.

• An add-on to force firefox switch to the default search engine in the search bar

  Hello

  I have a few search engines in the search bar of firefox. I find it extremely annoying that whenever I have change the search engine, that it stays like this, even after restarting firefox. Is there an add-on that would go to the one who is at the top of the list (which is my default for search engine being both navigation bar) whenever I restart the browser?

  Let me give you an example: I use duckduckgo as a search engine by default in the search bar and navigation bar. Let's say I need to find a definition for which I use the wikipedia search engine. Then I go to wikipedia one. I disable the browser the next time I start firefox search engine that appears in the search bar is wikipedia and I would have preferred it to be duckduckgo.

  I hope that's not waves.

  see you soon,
  Omen

  Easier is to put the default engine for search engine preferred via the user.js file in the Firefox profile folder by copying the line user_pref() related to this file.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can search the topic: config page for browser.search. to locate the pref (s) you need.

  • user_pref ("browser.search.defaultenginename", 'Google');

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
  • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a file user.js (new) in this folder (the names are case-sensitive)
  • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as user.js
    Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not user.js.txt file
