Why Google AutoComplete fails in Firefox 17.0.1, when I type something in the search field, there is no pull down the list of options as I type?
When I type a word or phrase in the Google search bar, the AutoComplete fails; There is no drop-down list of options for research, only thing I totally typed in. I type the full word or the word I'm looking for and press ENTER to get the results. I use a MacBook and OS X 10.7.5 Please help! It's so frustrating!
It could be 3 things.
1. you have disabled the Suggestions show inside the Google search bar.
To activate the Suggestions show:
Click once inside the search bar, then click inside the bar.
At the bottom of the context menu, choose Show the Suggestions
2. If you are connected to your Google account, you can set the option to turn off AutoComplete in the Google search parameters.
Read this guide to find the settings area and check your settings:

3 or, perhaps, you have Javascript disabled in Firefox. In case you were wondering, Javascript and Java are not the same thing. Java is a plugin used for the online games and other applications.
To check if Javascript is enabled:
Firefox button > Options > Options > content
Make sure there is a checkmark on "enable Javascript"

Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?
The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.
Things I tried but has not made a difference:
reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8
With xp media center
PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control
The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional
So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.
You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.
Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:
Start--->
Control Panel--->
Add Remove programs--->
Scroll down to IE 8--->
Click on delete.
IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.
Resart your computer and install IE 8.
This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

In previous versions, when I wrote something like "Heathrow airport" in the browser bar, FIrefox automatically redirected to the site of the airport, which is I guess that the first result of a google search. Why this won't happen again? Is this a problem of the new version or is there any setting to change?
You can change the pref keyword. URL on the topic: config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or "Browse by name" Google.
- "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky & ie = UTF - 8 & oe = UTF - 8 & q =
- Google "Browse by name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & sourceid = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =
To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

Why google everywhere and current firefox to run, fox is set def browser
Google is in 2 different locations with search engine, and when I put a site in the browser bar, say, craigslist, hit enter or click on the arrow. Google displays the results. Firefox default put in the computer and browser settings. Yet I see and get more google, Firefox, on everything. I tried troubleshooting takes also note ect. Thank you
Hello
Google is the search engine by default when you install Firefox. You can change this in your search bar - or click on the Google icon, or press the arrow down and select a different search engine.
For more information, see using the search bar in Firefox
EDIT: When you change the search engine in the search bar, this will change all other search bars in Firefox to use the new search engine - I guess in your post the second place you saw Google was on the Start Page of Firefox.

For some reason, I can't respond to any comment of Google Plus on any Google service when Firefox is in normal browse mode. However, I can answer all the comments from Google over YouTube and Google more in private browsing mode. Google Plus comments work as well in Chrome. I can post a comment in all browsers in all modes, but I can't answer or mark as spam any comment of Google Plus in Firefox, when it is not in private browsing mode.
Boot safe mode works. Can I disable my modules one by one to see what is responsible?

Firefox does not respond when you try to delete the history.
When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "Clear now" he says immediately that the program is not responding. Done the same after the restart. It is not let me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the Task Manager. Is there a solution?
It is normal to take a long time to clear the history, particularly if you include clear memory Cache. Your hard disk activity probably going to be continuous. I would give it at least 2-3 minutes before you assume that Firefox has stopped working.

The BigFun.be site video requires a plugin. Which plugin? I tried to download the video player of Microsoft for Firefox 1.0.0.8 and it don't take or show up in plugins.
There has been an evolution where Firefox search plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is scanned is more plugins, so Firefox will find them more if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the folder 'browser\plugins', which analyses the Firefox now.
You can set the pref plugins.load_appdir_plugins true on the subject: config page to parse the directory '< install > /plugins/' for plugins like the WMP plugin (np - mswmp.dll) Firefox.

When I run Firefox, the window is invisible. Maximize it works, but when I try to restore it to the previous size it becomes invisible.
I had this problem with other applications, and then it was the position of the stored window which was damaged.
I looked in the registry to see if the position of the window is stored there, but could not find it there.
You can use JavaScript to fix the problem and Firefox 7.0.1 did move or resize windows with JavaScript almost impossible. You can configure your bookmark and change in about: config then only magnified, but you will need to read the notes at the bottom of the article about Firefox 7.
Summary of the steps in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
- use 'Alt + SPACEBAR' in Windows to maximize active window
- Change services.sync.prefs.sync.dom.disable_window_move_resize to use fake subject: config
- Create a bookmarklet (bookmark with JavaScript) having a
- location javascript:self.resizeTo (1024, screen.availHeight); self.moveTo(screen.availWidth-1024,0);
- (1024, so reduce the width of your screen is less than 1024)
- Next topic: config should be the active tab
- Invoke the bookmark directly from your Favorites (with Firefox 7.0.1 you can no longer call JavaScript or a shortcut keyword with Javascript since the location bar involving move/resize).
