My Firefox will not search for websites

My Firefox will not search for websites etc. I put in a parameter and it will not do anything. When I use anything else (such as Yahoo! search) it works fine. I type in a word/website/name etc. into the search box on Firefox and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and still it won't work.

A few notes for the morning:
(1) If you used the Reset Firefox feature, a folder will have appeared on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. Please retain that folder so you can revert your Reset if needed.
(2) I don't know why you would intentionally open the IP addresses of servers that have demonstrated their untrustworthiness by relaying spam to you. If you want to find out who controls a server, you can look it up on one of the regional registries for IP addresses:
* RIPE (for Europe): http://www.ripe.net/ (RIPE Database search box mid-page)
* ARIN (for North America): https://www.arin.net/ (Search WHOIS upper right)
* APNIC (for Asia): http://www.apnic.net/ (Whois Search to the right of the image)

  • I have installrd Fire Fox which I had before but now it will not search for me

    Yes I have had Mozilla fire fox before for some time but it played up so I uninstalled it and the reinstalled it
    but now it installs but it will not search for me

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
    Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
    *browser.search.defaultenginename
    Currently selected search engine:
    *browser.search.selectedEngine

  • My wifi will not detect networks and will not search for other networks when I search for them. Do I need a new iPhone or can I fix it myself?

    My wifi is on and when it tries to find a wifi connection, the gray little circle just keeps spinning and will not detect our home wifi. I have tried to search for it and connect to it manually, but it will not search for the network name. I'm hoping I don't need a new phone so please help.

  • Help will not search for search term

    CS6, Windows XP. When accessing online help for CS6 applications, InDesign for example, InDesign Help / Help and Tutorials screen comes up. There is a box, Adobe Community Help with space for a search term and magnifying glass icon and the icon of the application for which I want help.  When I type in the search term and click on the magnifying glass or hit Enter,  nothing happens. Help does not search for term in question. What am I missing?

  • Firefox will not load any websites at all

    I have been using Firefox for more than awhile, as IE 10 would not work for me, but a few days ago Firefox stopped working all together. I will click Firefox and all that happens is it loads a New Tab, and it has a blank page with no web address. If i type in a web address, it 'loads' for a split second and still is a blank page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and did not work. I have also reset Firefox, and nothing happens except i get a pointless toolbar back. I do not have Chrome, but IE is working fine for me as i have downgraded to IE 9. I do prefer Firefox though, as it is a bit faster and more simply organized. Is there anything else i can try to fix this problem?

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox will not open any website and I have done what your help section has instructed. after it updated quit working.

    After Firefox updated I cannot open any website but explorer can. I have done everything your help site suggested. I like firefox and would like to keep using it. Can you help? I am using windows vista 64 bit operating system.

    After upgrading, sometimes your firewall will not recognize the new Firefox version and, therefore, not allow it to access the internet. To remedy that situation,
    #you must remove Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list,
    #then restart firefox, go to a website, the firewall will detect the new Firefox version and
    #then give the necessary permissions for your firewall to allow Firefox access to the internet

  • Using aol it will not search for specific old emails by name

    USING FIREFOX V.34.0 AND AOL TOOLBAR 2.2 WITH WINDOWS 7.
    WHEN I USE THE SEARCH FIELD IN AOL TO SEARCH FOR AN OLD OR NEW EMAIL BY NAME IT WILL NO LONGER FIND ANY EMAILS. IT USE TO.
    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM

    Doesn't AOL have support for AOL Mail? Or maybe an AOL Toolbar support forum?
    Sorry, I can't see how this is even vaguely related to Firefox support; other than you are using a 3rd party Toolbar in Firefox.

  • Firefox will not open certain websites, unless I close and restart the browser. Anyone hear of this ?

    Some webpages, for example newegg.com, will not open at all. But if I close ff and then restart ff - newegg.com will load up almost instantly. Yahoo's pages have problems as well - especially if there is a video with a news article. Many times - there simply wont even be a placeholder. I will read the article - and then realize there should be a video accompanying it - I'll have to view in IE - which I hate.

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • N95 will not search for devices

    I bought the N95 two days ago from CPW. Everything was fine and I managed to pair my Motorola Bluetooth headset with the N95. I unpaired the device to pair the headset with my work phone. All is well.
    However, when I attempted to pair up the headset back with the N95, the phone no longer searches for other devices. The headset itself is fine as I have paired it with another phone, however it would appear that the N95 simply will only pair with another device just the once and will not attempt to do so again.
    I went to a CPW store in Canon Street, London this afternoon and they replaced the handset. The man in the store showed me the handset searching for another device, but I had the Bluetooth headset in the lorry and I said that I'd pair it when I have driven off. I tried to pair the unit when I got back to the yard and it doe snot work!
    Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions as I am loathe to return to the store to obtain yet another handset. The guy in the store mentioned something about a software fix.

    As I indicated in my original post, I had attempted to pair the headset with another phone and this was successful.
    The link you gave me to update the phone is of no use given that there are currently no updates available for the N95 as the unit is less than a month old.
    I have some good news in that I have managed to pair the headset! You have to type in the following to do a reset of the handset: *#7370#. When prompted for the code, insert: 12345.
    Unfortunately this resets the unit and all your old settings will have gone including your address book which I have found to my cost! Luckily, there was only a few numbers listed so I can retrieve them easily enough.
    However, I can't go resetting the unit each time I have a prob with Bluetooth; a permanent solution has to be found.

  • Firefox will not load any websites, continues to say "Problem Loading Page". However I have a full internet connection and Internet Explorer works.

  • Will not search for a word in pdf file. Using Windows 7

    Like most I have used Acrobat reader for viewing PDF files for years.  I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.  I have tried to search a PDF file for a word and it always comes up with none found even though I search for a word that is displayed in the document I'm looking at.  Any advice?
