Why does Mozilla have no options of search engine on my computer?

I recently had to install Chrome on my computer to access a program that would not open using Firefox. Then I had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Now there is no search engine options. In the Options window, no names appear in the drop-down list to select a search engine. Restore the default engine does nothing. In the search bar of Firefox, nothing happens when I click on the arrow next to the search icon - no names, no nothing and when I have something to search for, enter by pressing enter, and by clicking on the arrow to go to the search box doesn't do anything. What is missing?

Hi CJeanVarney, please make sure that you do not use firefox in compatibility mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/292533

  • Internal-external-left bleeding. Why does not have this option?

    I have a book to export to PDF.  I need funds lost to have the value internally and externally, not left and right.  Is there a way to specify to InDesign to make that happen?  Sometimes I get this option, sometimes I did not and I do not understand why this is inconsistent.

    The book documents are set up as double pages. I have none of the documents selected when exporting PDF X 1.

    There seems to be zero documentation out there on this.

    I know I could set the purge as a document and set the purge for each of them. But since there are about 50 sections and it's going to two different printers with two different purge plug is a great deal I want to deal with.  In addition, why?  As I mentioned, in most cases, even with the exact same book I care now, internal and external purge option is (or was) available.  But this time I can not get again. Am I missing something obvious?  It seems I've tried everything.  So if any of you have an idea I'm all ears.

    Depends on if the document has been implemented across the pages.

    With facing pages, you get the bleeding and the inside and outside margins. With non-connected you get right/left.

    Thanks in advance for the help. Please take my rage like being lulzworthy...

    There is a named tab killer extension that allows you to do this. The official source has not been updated for a while, so I posted a updated version. The background is in this thread: How can I completely disable tabs?

    I don't like back in time in this way, but if you do, then here is the link:
    http://jeffersonscher.com/RES/github_tabkiller-2.0.2009110201-versbump.xpi (Download, then drag a window to install)

    Please note: when you load this extension and restart Firefox, inactive tabs in windows before restarting disappear. So be sure that you are not left waiting for work.

    After installation, go here for new default tab to new window (otherwise it will prompt you each time):

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Click on the button Tab Killer Options (see image).

  • Why does not the last update allows searches IE yahoo email?

    My Mozilla Firefox allows more research. When I click on Yahoo Mail for example, nothing happens. Before this last update (Mozilla) I could click on Yahoo Mail and get a list of sites in a fraction of a second. Now, it's click and wait indefinitely. So I set a restore point, 3 days before the update, and voila! I can get Yahoo Mail in the usual way. I continued to get opinions of Mozilla re: new update, tonight so I allowed the update. As soon as the update ended I got click on Yahoo Mail. You guessed it, NO response! I have not tried Pinterest, once again NO response! Then, I went to the Google box and typed in Yahoo Mail. Presto Bingo! Back to normal once more. So I went back to the Mozilla screen, NO response. It tells me that the problem is inside the update of Mozilla. If I set a restore point, once again, it will be only a matter of time before I get a request to allow a Mozilla update and I'll be back in the same boat. Tractorracer

    The search bar in the Navigation toolbar works?

    Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

    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).

    The current versions of Firefox use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the subject: homepage.

    Check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the topic: config page and make sure that it is set to the default value of Google.

    We are all ONE!

    I tried some of the solutions that offered you, but I think what was my problem was caused by the presence of the index on an external hard drive and when the computer has been restarted the drive letter of the USB drive was not the same.  If I remember well, it was a problem that I wasn't yet able to rebuild the index.

    I now have the index on my hard C at the level of the root drive.  I was about to point to the other half of a 16 GB flash drive which is also USB, but Windows Vista Home Premium does not only because it appears that are considered removable flash drives, but external USB drives are not presented in this category.

    Currently I have about 74 000 items indexed.

  • Why some users have file option &gt; SharePoint/Office 365 Server &gt; archive?

    All members of the team have the same permissions in SharePoint. We can all see a doc in SharePoint. Some of us then have an option on the file menu in Acrobat that says ' SharePoint/Office 365 Server' with a 'Check In' option under this. Some members of the team do not have this option.

    How can we solve this so that everyone has the ability to easily check in an update for SharePoint?

    Cheryl Bowsher

    Hi Cheryl,

    Check the version of Acrobat for all users, it should be same and updated, i.e. 11.0.6

    Your username gets 'Check In' option via web browser?

    What is the version of SharePoint you use and what is the exact workflow?

    Kind regards

  • Why Yahoo is now the default Firefox search engine?

    I'm curious to know why Mozilla decided to move the engine of Firefox default to Yahoo search, without initially to provide an explanation to users. Specifically, how does this change benefits users? »

    Hello ariel, please fill in this question. the reasons to change the default search provider in firefox are explained in https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/

    of course, users are free as always to set their search engine preferred as default choice: use the Firefox search bar

  • Although the home page of Mozilla Firefox uses the Google search engine, whenever I enter something on the address bar, I get Yahoo instead of Google expected search results.

    On the address bar, when I write something, I would get Yahoo instead of Google search results. I don't know how to change it because the Options under the Tools tab do not seem anything which changes the search engine for the address bar.

    There is a hidden preference that you can edit to make it use Browse of Google search of name that has been used in Firefox 3.6

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

    http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

    If after changing the preference it is still using Yahoo, there will be an add-on that is the cause. Check for modules of Yahoo and if not necessary to uninstall them. If you have the add-on of net assistant freeze.com , which can cause research go to Yahoo, uninstall this add-on - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Now I have Yahoo as my search engine when I want only Google, but the "Search" tab in preferences shows Google, even load Yahoo

    When I open Firefox, Yahoo charges as my search engine, when I want to Google. It shows that Google is my search engine in Firefox preferences, under the tab "Search", but still Yahoo takes over as my engine of research envisaged, what is not!

    I have a Macbook Pro and need advice for the resolution of this problem on my Macbook Pro, not a PC. Can you help me?

    As a result of one of these points, a possible culprit would be an extension. If you prefer a little troubleshooting before using Refresh...

    You can view, turn off and often remove unwanted extensions or unknowns on the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right side. All extensions are optional. When in doubt, turn off.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?
