When I use the address bar to search for, I redirected to a Web page called 'startpins '. Ive tried several malware removing applications, but none have set it

It seems there will be no solution on other forums. And I can't trace anything whether it's relevant to this site in my computer

Hello pan903, you can try to install the addon Search reset , or manually reset the url search engine by typing on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), seeking the preference named keyword.url and right click and reset it to its default value.

  • I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

    Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1

    It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

    And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

    Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

    Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

    Sometimes modules can 'break' when a new version of Firefox is available and cause strange glitches in the user interface.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: 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

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any difference?

  • Use of the address bar to search for phrases that contain no spaces?

  • 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:

    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":

    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.

  • By clicking on the address bar or search bar and typing does not erase the previous text inside

    When I click on the address bar or search bar and start typing a new entry, it does not erase the previous text. I always have to remove it first to clear the field and then I can type in the new URL or keyword...

    OK, I found the search the on: configuration database. The problem is that browser.urlbar.clickSelects.All is set to "false". I changed it to "true" and now everything is perfect...

    Also to solve the same problem with the search bar, I changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground from false to true.

  • How to change background on the address bar and search - it ruins my characters

    I'm addicted to personas however the address bar and search bar are in glaring white instead of transparent like the rest of the top page. This completely destroys the continuity of the photo. I want to make these bars, and everything above the upper transparent reading as the toolbar pane so that the only thing that shows is the icons and text. I tried dozens of search terms, none address the issue. 18.01 Firefox. Can someone help with this problem? Screenshot available.

    Thank you

    You need the line @namespace at the beginning of the userChrome.css to avoid namespace conflicts.

  • How to use the find method to search for character format substitutions and FMP?

    I strongly suspect that I should be able to use the find method to search for paragraph substitutions and format as these options are available in the Find dialog box. However, because of the excruciating Extendscript documentation from Adobe, I not was able to find the key pieces of information that I need. I found these constants:

    • Constants.FV_FindPgfFormatOverride
    • Constants.FV_FindCharacterFormatOverride

    But he has literally no information about them. It is not yet a definition, so I'm actually just a guess. However, I think that I need to somehow use these constant within the parameters of the Find method. Any ideas on how to do it?

    You're right, there are still some bugs to work out of the documentation, although it has already improved since I started w / Extendscript last summer.

    Find two constants must be defined as the ival for a PropVal FindObject, for example:

    var myDoc is app. ActiveDoc;

    var docStart = myDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

    tloc var = new TextLoc(docStart,0);

    var findParams = AllocatePropVals (1);

    findParams [0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindObject;

    findParams [0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer;

    findParams [0].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_FindCharacterFormatOverride;

    myDoc.Find (tloc, findParams);

    Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you can also take a look at the property FormatOverride of the Doc, bmp and item objects.

  • Search for a word in a Web page

    Hello

    I have a little problem on the search in a web page.

    Without worrying to highlight what is useful in all software, how can I search for a word in a Web page?

    I mean imagine in windows, through the web page, you need to find the word "except", if you come to use the Toolbox in the browser and type except to indicate each word "except" in this page and highlight it. Is there a similar option for safari for Mac too?

    F command should do what you want. -AJ

  • How to change the address bar of search engine uses when you type in the search for something that is not Google

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    Hello

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
    2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
    4. Double-click the item that appears.
    5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).
