Why google everywhere and current firefox to run, fox is set def browser

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.

  • I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

    Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page

    http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

    Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

    Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

    A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

    Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

    Hello

    If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

    1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

    and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

    1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

    If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

    • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
    • Menu

      > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

    Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

    Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Police on Google, Facebook and many other sites, but not all, is "BOLD", no matter what I do.

    Since I installed Firefox on my newly-fixed computer (has been completely annihilated, installed FF 06/05 / 15), fonts for several sites has been "BOLD", regardless of how I set my preferences. It comes to Facebook, Google and Gmail. If I say not to allow pages to choose their own fonts, this problem is solved, but the characters such as arrows do not appear on other sites.

    What I really want is to be able to see that I read something by having make it back to normal, rather than "BOLD". The only way I can do it is by prohibiting the pages to choose their own fonts. Is it possible to fix this?

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    Some display drivers also have parameters that can affect the appearance of fonts.

    Were you able to find which fonts are assigned by the police test?

  • Is there a 'OK Google' add-on for Firefox or a "Firefox OK"

    Since I use a smartphone I have the habit to use Google OK and find that talking about a long query in browser results in more relevant results. I thought I have it add to Firefox to make navigation easier. I can't find an add-on for this and wonder if it is compatible with Firefox. If not, is there a Firefox OK/Hello/loan that will allow me to talk instead of type in the browser.

  • Why Firefox 25.0 does not show Google ads and Facebook comments and love. Make all other browsers.

    I just upgraded to 25.0 FireFox and I have problems of visualization of Google ads and Facebook comments and love on my site (wellfitstyle.com). All other browsers show Google adds comments in the right sidebar and Facebook and like below each post. Many people in Eastern Europe (where I am) using FireFox and I would like to know how this problem can be solved.

    TNX.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    The report please come back shortly.

    Hello Bo.

    It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    I currently have Firefox 9.0. Why the start page for firefox keep telling me that I don't have the latest version?

    You may need the old start page. Go to Firefox > Options and in the pane general, under Startup, click on restore by default. The page you have probably (http://google.com/firefox) only served to 3.6 (and tells you you are outdated), but some users seem to have gotten stuck on it after updating to Firefox 4 or upper version.

  • I had all my precious bookmarks and apps on the google toolbar and now with Firefox 5 I learn that the google toolbar is not compatible with firefox! Google is in the cloud. Have you cut us to the Cloud?

    On my previous Firefox browser I mainly used applications on the google toolbar, not Yahoo, one that is not as good as the google toolbar. Now, the google toolbar disappeared and when I tried to download, he said that it is incompatible with Firefox 5. I noticed there are a number of queries on this subject, but no solution found. I'm sure you can give an update to allow us to recover our toolbar with all our info stored. Otherwise, I might have to use IE.

    Many users have gotten the function of the Google toolbar again by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. Google just needs to test the toolbar with Firefox 5 and change something in their code specifying the versions of Firefox with which it is compatible.

    Add on Compatibility Reporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
