use a search engine in the address bar

Hello

for one or two years, firefox has had an update to change the search parameters.
Before that happened, we used to use the address bar of google-search and use of the search bar for individual searches like imdb or in some cases use of keywoards for individual research via the address bar. The 'new' - versions of firefox (I guess it was the update 23 FF and all the following versions) replaces the browser.search.defaultsearchengine whenever you change the engine in the search bar. In this way, the two bars of Act quite the same when it comes down to research. It took some time for the (German) supportpages update to this new behavior, but now that this has happened, there is still no clue how to change it back to the old settings, where the search bar is the search and address bar only led to a search via google, when it was necessary.
So how can pick us up with a search engine in the adressbar again without going through the embarrassment of having to choose the search bar engine?
I couldn't find useful information or plugins and 'Smart search' and 'Keywords' are no option for us.

I would really appreciate help with this.

Thanks in advance

  • 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.

    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

    More information on ask.com, Yahoo toolbars that involve extensions, changes not only the home page.

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

    I know that in previous incarnations of Foxfire I could use about: config and change Keyworld.url to change my search engine default. I recently reset my Foxfire because I had problems with the original site and now it is set by default to Google. I don't want to use google. How can I change this? I don't want a search bar, I don't want to make a difference in a search bar. I want to just the address bar to work the way I have always worked it for me before. Can someone help me?

    You can change the search provider from the search bar that is automatically in Firefox by clicking on the arrow pointing down and put in service of your choice.

    If you want a custom search engine, you can access this Web site, click the arrow and click on "Add < custom engine >. Example below:

    If you don't want the search bar, you can "hide" it view by clicking on the button 3-bar menu, go to 'Customize' at the bottom, and then dragging the search bar in the box features and additional tools .

    Once you change the search engine in the search bar, you can hide the search bar and search using the address bar with the provider you have chosen in the search bar.

  • How to make the default google search engine in the address bar.

    How can I do that when I search with my address bar he ALWAYS uses that Google, no matter which search engine is selected in the search bar? It used to be like that, but a recent update of Firefox it changed. Now, when I search with my bar address he uses the search engine selected in the bar... if research that I wanted to do, I would just use the search bar! Any suggestions?

  • How can I choose the default search engine in the address window?

    You explain how to change the 'address bar' default search engine at the top right. I want to know how to change the search engine in the address at the top window to the left. Currently, if I type in an address not recognized, my ISP search engine will appear. I'd rather have the search engine of Google or Bing when I make a mistake of addressing.

    You can have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS search fails.

    Who takes control of Firefox to search with the normal keyword like a Google, I'm lucky search.

    In this case, you will need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS to opt-out of this feature.

    You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

  • 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.

  • How can I stop Firefox giving search suggestions in the address bar?

    From the last update, if I start typing something in the address bar, I get random search suggestions as if I was using the search instead. How can I disable this? It is kind of annoying, and it really bothers me. I read in another article that I went to about: config and checked "I'll be careful", it would stop, but I'm worried it may screw up my browser. Is there another way to solve this problem? Or do I just move a superior browser?

    No it won't cause other problems as long as you do not change other preferences.

  • I did the screen too small (using about: config) and lost the address bar and all the menus. How to restore the display on a screen size can be used?

    I changed the size of display screen using about: config, as stated in the other answers help. After you use a value of 1.0, such as recommended, I've experimented with other sizes, because it seems small. I have entered a large number by chance (a typing error) and made the display so small that only a bug could read. And I lost all the features: bar address, menus, home, Favorites, settings icons.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, thinking that this would fix it. But the new facility displays the same way: unreadable and no functionality.

    I found instructions on resetting to the factory settings, but cannot perform this task because I have to be able to access the menus to do so.

    Hello PaulaBob, have you changed the value of layout.css.devPixelsPerPx? -You can perform the following steps to change the still 'blind ': value

  • 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.

    Have you tried reinstalling your search engine rankings? Take a look at this article. It will show you how to add a search engine.

    If it won't let you install because it says they are already installed, they have may be corrupted. If this is the case try remove them from the \searchplugins\ folder in your profile folder.

    I close and restart everything you have finished, and then try to reinstall them.
