• 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

• A search engine click always uses the default search engine

  In the search bar, I type the word London and press enter and get the results of a search Google (default search engine).
  I click on the magnifying glass to open the search drop-down list and click the icon for Wikipedia (to perform a search on Wikipedia for the word London). However, the results are not Wikipedia but are the same as my previous research on Google. The only way I can get the research to be done on Wikipedia is to change Wikipedia to my default search engine.
  Am I misunderstand how the search with a single click is supposed to work, or you can tell me what I need to change to make it work?
  Thank you

  Using the arrow keys or tab to the search engine icon had the same result by clicking on the icon to directly search engine, any search engine was selected the search is always performed by the default search engine.
  Running in Mode safe solves the problem
  Classic deactivation restaurateur theme does not solve the problem, but disabling 'Tab control 0.5.5' solve the problem . In the reviews of this add-on a few users have mentioned this as a problem. I've removed "Tab control" as an add-on (even though I liked some of its features) because it is no longer maintained.
  Thanks for your replies.

• 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.

• How can I change the default search engine in Firefox 31.0

  The icon to the left of the search box seems to have disappeared. What now?

  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.

  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.

  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)

• How can I stop Firefox to redirect me to the Yahoo search engine

  When I try to go to the official site for ATF Cleaner, Firefox redirects me to the Yahoo search engine.
  I have removed all references to Yahoo in my registry and searched all the user for any reference to Yahoo profiles. I am running Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows XP.

  It is also possible that this problem is due to an add-on, maybe one who snuck on your system as part of a bundle.

  In the case where one of your extensions is concerned, could test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

• Search engine box change also affects the default search engine in the URL bar

  I've just updated to 23.0, and for some reason, change the search engine in the search box also changes the default search engine in the URL bar as well. I don't know if it's intended functionality (I hope that's not), but it is a bit irritating. I didn't know if it was related to an add-on that I installed it at the same time, so I tried to turn that off, but the problem was still there. so I tentatively guess it has to do with 23.0.

  Hello, yes it is (unfortunately) the new behavior in firefox 23 and upward and was introduced to solve the problem that several tools/adware toolbars are crush keyword.url unbeknownst to users preference...

  See also bug #738818 (please do not post in the bug reports).

  Additional comment, the add-on restartless Keyword Searchcan solve the problem, please see my post /questions/963439? page = 2 #answer-463664 ~ J99

• How can I change the default search engine in firefox 14?

  I tried to change my default search engine, does not. A read a lot of the help file, but it seems that none of the recommendations had jobs. The problem is in the search box in the upper right where the default from now (the search engine when I open firefox for the first time) is Yahoo. I had tried to change it to goggle by clicking on the drop down arrow and select a new search engine, but does not take effect. Yahoo is still in effect so that the search engine despite this change. I also followed the advice of some to change the default engine by typing "subject: config" in the address bar and some values but still after the opening and closing firefox again, Yahoo is still the default search and could be that the change by selecting from the drop-down search menu.

  Thank you for your answer but I managed to fix the problem already. What I did is to select from the dropdown to Ask.com (it seems that it is the only option that work) a window appeared asking me what a search engine change was made, and if I would use Ask.com to be the search engine or to maintain using Yahoo.com. I chose to use Ask.com and disable the protection on the search engine. Toke effect change and after that I could change from the drop down list a search engine like Google. I put a note above in parenthesis closed, that it seems Ask.com works as I tried before to change the search engine Google, but no window came to ask me if I want to change the default search engine.

  Once again thanks a lot to you two, for the reply and for your precious time to try to solve this problem.

• How can I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?

  I tried the subject: solution of config and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google, but it has changed to a random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. Is there no option in the menu dropdown. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I wonder why it is so difficult to change something like that. There should be a button for those of us who are not computer savvy. Am getting irritated that I can't just look for something more.

• How can I change the default search engine in the address bar?

  Beta toolbar AVG changed the search engine used when I type in the address bar of Yahoo search. I uninstalled AVG completely toolbar beta, but I can't seem to find out how to change the search back to Google search engine.

  Skip this step if you also have a Yahoo toolbar
  Remove the Yahoo toolbar

  1. 'Ctrl + Shift + A' (add-on Manager)
  2. Select the piece of the Puzzle on the left side for list Extensions
  3. Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click the "Uninstall" button and restart Firefox. (if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with personal and always not to change all default search settings below)

  Then to set the default search engine used in the address bar, change the value of the keyword. URL in Subject: config to one of the values in the search of the address bar with MozillaZine.

  • Search Google (Google search results page)
    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF-8 & q =
  1. type about: config in the location (in a new tab) toolbar
  2. If the nonsense of warning message appears uncheck the box before dismiss the dialog box message
  3. filter by keyword
  4. Right click on the key word . URL and choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  5. filter on defaulturl
  6. Right-click on browser.search.defaulturl (if it exists)and again choose "Edit" and then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice.
  7. filter on ytff
  8. Right-click on yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src (if it exists) and again once choose 'Edit' then paste in the string of search engine Google of your choice, so adventurous maybe see if 'reset' would delete and see if went into the session next (at least not for those keeping the extension).

  Avoid problems: Several software installations contain additional baggage called crapware. The Yahoo toolbar is packed with Java photo

• I get reimage opening new windows in safari instead of the links I clicked. I tried the force of suggestion smoking etc and uninstall without success. It seems very little help on this in the normal search engines. Any ideas?

  I get reimage opening new windows in safari instead of the links I clicked. I tried the force of suggestion smoking etc and uninstall without success. It seems very little help on this in the normal search engines. Any ideas?

  On the one hand, you cannot uninstall Safari.  It comes as part of the operating system.  So, I don't know what you've done or what you think you did, but this is not that.  Could you explain more by what you mean with "I get reimage opening in a new window?  You can post a screenshot of what happens?

• problems with the firefox search engine

  When using my hotmail email today when I I closed it got stuck with the msn home page, I have managed to recover the firefox home page, but the search is made by BING, I don't want that I want as before google. It seems if be produced since firefox 18 was delivered

  Can any body help to get this back as before

  Try to reset default preferences with the SearchReset extension:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  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).

  You can check the pref browser.search.defaultenginename (s) on the topic: config page to see if it has the value of Google by default.

  If there is a problem with the search through the default value: home page and then try to reset the search engine used on the subject: homepage.

  Reset the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone through the context menu by default on the topic: config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the on: default home page.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config
  1. Open the topic: config page through the address bar
  2. Type in the filter bar: mstone
  3. Right-click on the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line, and then select: Reset
  4. Close and restart Firefox

  If this did not help, then remove the button Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and repeat the foregoing.

• How can I change the default search engine?

  I don't want to use Google or Bing. How can I make show DuckDuckGo (or a similar search engine privacy protection-oriented) as the default option when I search something?

  You must go to settings > search and you should have a form to select your favorite search engine.
  If you're on Firefox OS 1.3 or lower, you cannot change your search engine, Google is the only one.
