• I want to search in the address bar

  I have the new firefox 43, when I type things in the bar recipient, my most used web sites pop up at the top and I press down arrow once and get the website, I want, but now article 1 is always the search option, I don't don't need or want it to be there I have a search to the search bar.

  How do I 100% completely remove the search from the address bar icon so that the 1st item in the list goes back to be web addresses?

  PS I also find it very disconcerting that during this update we asked me if I wanted to search option/suggestions in the address bar and I said no, but when I was looking into options to get rid of this 'new' this option has been activated.

  What others of my preferences during the installation you just ignore?

  This is a new feature in Firefox 43. To turn it off to do this:

  1. Go about: config in Firefox
  2. Click on the I'll be careful button
  3. Locate the Boolean browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete
  4. Change the false value

  Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

• Cannot search from the address bar or search even in safe mode

  Hello

  I can't search in the address bar or search, even in safe mode. I refreshed Firefox, delete all cookies, empty my cache, but nothing works. Also, I get a message that does not respect the firefox sync, and "this object pushed." I know that these are all different questions, but I suspect that there is a link.

  I have very limited FTP and general computer knowledge, so please take I don't know anything when he answers! Really hope you can help!

  Thanks in advance.

  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.

  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)
  • 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.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

• When I type in the address bar the first option on the menu drop-down is always of the form 'visit' or 'search' How do I prevent these from appearing?

  Until typing today on behalf of the part of a site or a page that is shown a list of suggestions from my previous navigation. However, since installed 43, the first option is now either visit: xxxx, which is always a site, never a page, or when the string does not have a page it goes to the research: what I just typed.

  I would like to disable this, but I am struggling to find the solution for it.

  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

  You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the suggestion of visit page from the drop-down list.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• Strange behavior when searching from the address bar

  Hi all! I tried to remove google as the default search provider in firefox. To do this, I did these two things-

  -Duckduckgo moved to the top of the list in the firefox search box and set it as the current research.

  -Put the URL 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q=' keyword and keyword.enabled to true.

  However, this makes my search from the location bar (single word and several Word channels) still return google.

  There seems to be something to do with the entry of google search into the firefox search bar. If I remove that, it behaves as expected - single word searches then return an error "Cannot find server" (not quite what I wanted but probably correct behavior) and several Word searches go to Duckduckgo.

  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem without removing the option of completely google search would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  It is supposed to function as described in this article, it seems that you have followed: search bar location | How | Firefox Help. I see no reason for the presence or absence of a plugin of search engine related. You have additional modules that could touch location bar behavior?

  You can try this: create a clean profile Firefox. Which will work around the current modules and custom, settings have fresh data bases of fresh settings and a cache folder.

  Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in the management profiles. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box.

  Change your keyword preferences and see if they work in the new profile. A little luck?

• Search in the address bar

  When you use the address bar to search Firefox automatically chooses the Web site he thinks is the best and opens the page. How can I stop this from happening?

  The address bar is powerful enough for the search as it is. His behavior is editable, and you can even on the fly restrict to certain categories.
