I dont know all of sudden firefox search engine changed from google to my search and i cant get rid of that

all of sudden a new search engine started in place of google and i cant get rid of that even i uninstalled and reinstalled many times but that problem still there,seem to be some some type of bug in latest firefox .

Hi naveen,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]]. Your default search might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage and change your search engine.
If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. We've also got a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/removing-babylon-searchqu-or-mystart list of common search related issues] that might be helpful.
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
Hopefully this helps!

  • Search changed from Google to Ask. How do I get Google back?

    Search changed from Google to Ask. How do I get Goggle back?
    Thanks
    Ralph

    Greetings
    I am not up on the terminology. The second line on my screen has the forward and back arrows followed by "Go to a web Site" in a box followed by a second box that used to read Google but now reads Ask.com. I want to change this back to Google.
    Thanks

    hi I m having iphone 5.I got it on my birthday, it was working well till today...I dont know what happened to it today..it started showing "No sim card installed ".how is it possible i talked to my friend on the same phone only 2 min before ds notification..kindly help me out

    You could try removing the sim card and cleaning it - then put it back.
    I assume that there is supposed to be a sim card in your model of iPhone 5 ?

  • Why has the dropdown list of search engines changed from a straightforward list to a field of indistinguishable icons?

    Until the most recent update the dropdown listing of available sites in the search box was easily legible and simple to use. Being able to target one's searches so readily and conveniently was one of Firefox's most attractive features.
    Now I'm confronted with a panel of mostly indecipherable and in many cases confusingly similar icons. I hate it and want my simple verbal listing back!
    Yes, mousing over the icons and hovering will reveal what they represent. But having to do this every time makes what was a quick, convenient routine irritatingly slow and clunky.
    Please at least let us choose whether to have icons or a simple listing. Please...

    Further to my initial query, I notice that the previous facility to click 'Manage Search Engines...', thus allowing you to rearrange or add to/subtract from available searches (all within the dropdown from the search box), has gone.
    Clicking 'Change Search Settings' now opens up a new tab in the main preferences panel -- and as far as I can see doesn't even allow reordering or permanent deletion of search items.
    Whoever thought this would be an improvement? It isn't!!!

  • I want Firefox browser not,YAHOO (I don't know this came to be), I'm unable to use the How to make Firefox my browser because this requires a menu bar, and until I get rid of YAHOO! I can not see a menu bar. Help Regards Arthur Norton.

    The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
    A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • I want to be able to type an address into the url section. Google is on the main firefox page and I cant get rid of it. How can I restore Firefox mozilla only please?

    I need to enter the www.address. on this computer I can only enter the address in the google or yahoo section, not where the address should be. On the firefox home page the area where you search Google is the only way I can enter my address. There is no place where I can type an address.

    Open the Firefox SafeMode and use '''Reset toolbars and controls.''' - only.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I have myyahoo set as my search engine. When I try to open this page I get an message saying that it cannot be opened because of too may redirects.  How can I get this to open again?

    Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
    Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
    Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

  • I don't want Yahoo as my Firefox search engine; I want Google!! How do I get Yahoo out of my computer cause I can't find it in the control panel. It's like Yahoo's a Virus!!! AAAHHH

    Yahoo infiltrated my computer by downloading a free program that i realized was no good. removed the program since, however yahoo is still here and replaced my google search engine on firefox. I can't find it on add/remove programs on my PC and it's driving me nuts. I now have to use google chrome. I miss my google firefox I've removed Firefox and re-downloaded it and it doesn't help. please help me

    I just discovered a solution! Go to the upper right hand corner in Firefox where the search bar is. Click on the icon and you'll get a drop-down menu. Go to "manage search engines". You can then delete all the no-good ones, like Bing and Yahoo.

    an oh! one more thing, you can change the default folder or create a new one to store all screenshots. Also you can change the file format. Look at the following links

  • Someone used my email address to create an apple id. I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that?

    Someone used my email address to create an Apple ID. I logged in to appleid.apple.com and I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that? Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
    This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.
