Can't get the Google search box in toolbar

I've been working on getting my new iMac 27" with Mountain Lion functional, and now I've run into a problem I don't seem to find others are having -- I can't get the Google search box into the toolbar. It just won't go there. I've dragged the thing from the View>Customize Toolbar, and I've also tried dragging the whole toolbar, and nothing sticks. I get a little green plus symbol, as if it's adding it to the toolbar, release, and then...nothing. As much as I like Duck Duck Go, there are still things I need the old Goog for, and I'm bewildered by why this won't stick. There don't seem to be any actual settings for it either, just the drag and drop.
This whole setup has been beyond frustrating. I wish I'd never upgraded.

Safari 6
Apple combined Google search bar with URL address bar in Safari 6.
Apple calls it Smart Search Field.
There is no more a separate search field. You enter the Google search in the unified address bar.
Best.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • I can't get the Google Search App to work.

    My Google Search App was working fine on my iPad mini. Then I installed Chrome and didn't synch it right off the bat. Chrome works fine but now Google Search App won't let me log in or work. I've tried deleting it/reinstalling it and rebooting my iPad mini. What else should I try?

    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red (-) to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • I STILL haven't got the Google search box

    Please stay with your original question thread, here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976608<br />''Locking this as a duplicate.''
    STILL haven't had anyone tell me how to get the Google search box back. All I get is a blank page with the little Google logo in blue on atab. Nothing for images, search etc. In fact I CAN'T Google search any more.
    I'm giving it one more week, then will dump Firefox off my computer in favour of Chrome. Sorry.

    Hi Kyle,
    Is the email address you use here on the forums the same one you used to register for MAX?

  • How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    See also:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"

  • Previous history items in the Google search box don't open when clicked. How can I fix this please? Thanks.

    With the Google search box installed with Firefox 4.01, when I open the drop down list of previous searches and click on on to access a previous search topic instead of opening that site, nothing happens.

    So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
    What are your current default font settings?
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

  • How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

    On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
    How do I fix?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

    Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
    This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

    I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
    I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

  • When using the Google search box in the upper right corner, midway through typing the search subject, Firefox switches to the Yahoo search box in the middle of the screen. This is very annoying and happens on both home and work computers.

    Seems like Yahoo is the new Firefox default browser.

    Then why not get rid of the Google search box if it's not going to work?

    What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad?  I have no problems accessing it from my laptop.  Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
    I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble.  However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

    Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
    Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

  • PROBLEM WITH AUTO POPULATE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH BOX

    When I type in the google search box it auto populates search terms as it always has. However since upgrading to FF4 when I click on the one I want to go to ... nothing happens. I have to type the full search every time. I don't see this issue anywhere in the forum, am I the only one having this problem?

    How Firefox is opened should not matter.
    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
    know what each one is and what it does.
    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

    How can I get the AirPlay information box to stop floating around my screen while looking at photos?

    Thanks for answering
    Well, the CS2 was my 1st full program that now my son is using in his new Laptop...
    The CS4 Master Collection is my full program that I bought when I was in College course and now I use for my own works...
    Both came in their own serial numbers and discs ... I install both completely to each computer but at the end on the registration asked for this "Validation code" and the message says that I can't do it on-line nor by mail; so to call to this phone 1-800-833-6687 and in there have the message to come to the "support " Adobe website and do all this going around.
    Now I saw previously that page you send me... I really don't understand it ... I got CS2 installed but I just need the validation code to get rid of that 30 days message...
    Why I have to uninstall it??? Could you explain me please..

  • How can I get a new search box for each new tab?

    When I open a new tab, I would like a new, dedicated search box that is owned by it. This would help to keep the context preserved when doing searches on multiple, separate topics. Is there a way to configure this or an add-on to do it?

    You can do this by using the default about:home page with the Google search and place it in a new tab.
    You can try to reset the prefs that do that to see if it'll reverse the action
    *Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
    *Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
    *Search for "browser.newtab.url"
    *Right click and Modify it, replace "browser.newtab.url" with '''about:home'''
    Is that good?

  • The clear history in the google search box no longer works

    I'm using firefox 3.6.16. Suddenly the clear history link on the google search bar is not working. I can clearch history under tools but not within the search bar ,I don't know how to correct the problem. Can someone tell me what to do?

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Also, I think the Ask toolbar (add-on) has been reported to create problems with the links in Google search results. You could try disabling it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    A search also turned up an issue with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/867796 Google links redirect to Google homepage, not the link itself! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
