    I tried resetting and reinstalling firefox. I also deleted my history of research completely. I also installed malware bytes to scan and remove potential malware.

    Looks like you have a third-party program that has been on your search engine, home page, or the value default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be solved easily:

    1. At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. Open the tab of the Add-ons Manager.
    2. In the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel.
    3. Select the toolbar you want to delete.
    4. Click on the button Delete.
    5. Click "Restart now" if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

    After restarting Firefox, install the Reset search tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program to your Firefox.

  • 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
  • Mozilla firefox canoe load the default home page. It says "URL invalid or cannot be loaded.

    my version of Mozilla Firefox is 9.01. I put the start page my home page to the default North of Mozilla, which is Mozilla firefox. A pop-up came up saying "URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. I cannot find any info on the web of support and had to solve this.

    This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable) which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

    You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).

  • I tried to disable "remember passwords for sites" option, but when I exit Firefox and returned, the option is enabled. The solutions page do not help.

    It is a general problem I have with the saving options. It only started a few days ago.

    I lived it in 37.0.2 and 38.0.5.

    Help page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save

    contains several solutions. I tried them all and they do not work.
    Please notify.

    The two suggested solutions were things that I had already tried without success.

    Finally, what works after much trial and error:
    1 back up all my favorites.
    2 uninstall Firefox.
    3 reinstall Firefox but important! not begin immediately after installation!
    4. run firefox.exe Pei from the command window.
    5. in the Profile Manager, delete all the existing profiles and create a new.
    6. start Firefox, import bookmarks and set the options.

    The options will now be saved!

  • search options disappeared after updating firefox to address the slowness. How to make a comeback (there is no default search engine and no option)?

    the search box (with a magnifying glass to the left of it) is completely insensitive and there is no search option in the options of the menus/screens. Assistance from the address field in the search bar appears only intermittently to perform an Internet search for key words. a solution would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

  • How can I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative account in Windows XP, where clicking to do has no effect?

    I have two accounts for myself on my PC under Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that appears when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows that it is the default browser.

    In my other account, whenever I start Firefox, it tells me that this isn't the default browser. By clicking here to make the value by default, or in the options, does nothing.

    When I go to Set Program Access and defaults in the administrative account, 'use my current browser' is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my nonadministrator account, the Control Panel Add / Remove programs can be used. He says I don't have permission.

    To check in the other account, you would have to temporarily give him administrator permissions.

  • I just installed FF4 and the default theme seems odd, how to fix?

    Hey, I just installed firefox 4 and the default theme doesn't look like the screenshots I've seen. I have no button firefox (I have a menu instead) and the interface has a dark background. In addition, the new tab buttons and the home page are in a different position.

    How do I change this to the default settings?

    The screenshot you provided does not work!

    It seems you're on Windows XP.

    Right-click on the menu bar and uncheck the option menu in the right click menu bar. You will see a Firefox orange Button in the leftmost tabbed moving upward.

    Where you need the menu bar in the future as it is sometimes necessary for some options, you can easily get it by the F10 key. It displays the menu temporarily.

    You can customize it by selecting the Customize option in the right click menu that I said to you, and you can drag and drop any button anywhere.

    The default theme on Windows XP is very dull.

  • I didn't like the default theme that the police is fuzz if I run in safe mode, that they look much better - how to fix this permenantly

    Firefox 3 has been great and I liked the new features of firefox 4, but the default theme is bad or not good for my PC is Windows 7 Prof I added new themes and changed the graphics card no fixed and when I tried safe mode, it worked like charm, it's really nice so I would like to know how to make the change permanent.

    This is probably due to hardware acceleration. Safe mode disables hardware acceleration and hardware acceleration changes the appearance of fonts.

    To disable hardware acceleration, open the Options dialog box, go to the advanced Panel, then select the general tab uncheck the setting "use hardware acceleration when available.
