How can I set the order of search engines on my Macbook?

When I use "Manage Search Engines" to rearrange the order of my search engines, the order changes temporarily, only to revert to the order the search engine add-ons were installed, the next time Firefox is restarted. How can I set the hierarchy of search engines to suit my preference, and have it stay that way?

It may be your preferences problem.
Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How can I change the about:home search engine?

    It's set to ask.com I want google!

    @znca
    With all due respect to my esteemed colleague, I don't thing think that your problem will be solved by anything that '''''dmcritchie''''' mentioned.
    I '''''think''''' that the changes that Ask.com made to the about:home Search Container are stored in the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file in your Profile folder. And that deleting that file when Firefox is closed might solve your problem.
    But first you have to figure out what you installed ''(or was installed '''for''' you by another program that you installed)'' and un-install that Ask.com garbage, which might be masquerading under a different name, like maybe "search-something". If you don't get rid of the cause, it will probably reset that preference all over again when you start your computer the next time you go to use it.
    This has been driving me nuts for the last 4 months, since slightly before Firefox 4.0 was released and the first complaint about the about:home search engine being changed was posted in this forum. Short of actually installing some Ask.com garbage on my own PC and infecting it purposely, I am tearing my hair out trying to come up with a definitive answer about this problem.

  • How can i set the order of my accounts in favourite folders compact view? the order of the accounts in this view is different from the original order :(

    i set up the desired order of the accounts (tools/options/advanced/general/config editor/mail.accountmanager.accounts) and when i switch to favourite folders compact view (view/folders/favourite + compact view), the order is totally different, hence i dont have the desired order in this view, but i want to use tb in this view, because this is the most appropriate to manage multiple folders, thank you for your help in advance, Joe (win7)

    You could have used this extension.

    I don't think manually changing things via config editor is a good idea. You may reverse those changes before trying the extension.

  • Trying to create a book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time. how can i set the sorting

    trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

    1.  If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
    2.  As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually.  You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}".  The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images.  Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
    3.  At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them.  The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order.  I recommend using Albums this way.  Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output.  Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

  • How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes?

    In applescript...
    In another app - I have copied a song title to the clipboard...
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to the clipboard contents?
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes window?

    Hi Rev Dave,
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to
    the clipboard contents?
    Unfortunately the only way I can think to achieve this involves the use of "UI Scripting". The other previous posters have given you the preferred method you should consider using. If you want to script iTunes so that you visually see the search take place in iTunes you'll need to use the method shown in the script I've posted below.
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes
    window?
    Cyclosaurus has given you the answer to this part of your question already.
    Here is a script that (though ugly IMHO) should achieve what you are asking for:set theSearch to (the clipboard) as string
    tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    set allPlaylists to playlists
    repeat with aList in allPlaylists
    if name of aList is not "Library" then
    set view of front browser window to aList
    exit repeat
    end if
    end repeat
    set LibList to playlist "Library"
    set view of front browser window to LibList
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    if "iTunes" is not in name of windows or ¬
    focused of window "iTunes" is false then ¬
    keystroke "1" using command down
    keystroke tab
    keystroke theSearch
    end tell
    end tellIn order for the above script to work you need to have "Enable access for assistive devices" enabled in the "Universal Access" section of the "System Preferences" application.
    If you have any further questions about the above script feel free to ask.
    Hope this helps...

  • How can I save the order of photos in albums? Even though I have set as album order they revert back

    How can I save the order of photos in albums in Elements 11? Even though I have set as album order they revert back to original order.

    Could you confirm that when you re-open the sorted album, the display order on the top bar just over the browsing space is still in 'album' order ? That order may have been changed to a date order. For me, I get the order of the last album I opened, not necessarily the 'album' order of the present album.

  • How can I set the tab order in a form?

    How can I set the tab order in a form?

    Sorry. I don't mean page tabs, but the order in which form fields are selected by the tab key. In simple html there is a value called tabindex and I was just wondering if there is a way to assign this order within a portal form. I have basically recreated the form with a custom layout and adjusted the table structure to force the order I was looking for, but it would be a nice add for future versions.

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,
    Asaf Privman.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    Hello Pokerplayer62,
    In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
    From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
    To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
    Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
    Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I set the program to automaticaly send recieved email addresses to my address book?

    As the question asks, how can I set the program to automatically add new email address from messages to my address book. Other email programs can be set up to do this. If this can't be done in Firefox, why not. It's the best email program otherwise.

    First off Firefox is an Internet browser and does not deal with email addresses or have an address book to add them to. Secondly I cannot think of a good reason to add the address of each piece of spam to the Thunderbird address book.
    There are addons that will pick out addresses from incoming email and add them to the Thunderbird address book. I suggest you search through the add on list for one that fits your needs.

  • How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

    I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
    Thanks

    The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
    I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
    But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

  • How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

    I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
    You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
    I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
    Thanks...

    is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...
