The google search bar in the top right-hand corner has changed language to Spanish!! I've tried to change it but it just goes back to Spanish

One day, it just changed so that whatever I search for searches using the Spanish Google web-page. When I go into Advanced setting to change it to English it can't change.

Try going to the [http://www.google.com/ncr Google No Country Redirect] link. Does it still happen after disabling country redirects?

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

Can I change the Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to direct searches to google.co.uk, as it currently directs me to google.fr and I do not speak French (even though I live here!).

I like the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I do find Google fairly useful (albeit that I have dumped Chrome for Firefox due to Google's constant badgering to sign-up to their social network "circles" etc) - but my gripe is that I am redirected to google.fr NOT google.co.uk (my 1st preference) or google.com (2nd preference). Yes, I am located in France. No, I am not French and most of the information I am looking for is contained on UK or US web pages. I found the same problem with the provided Google search engine in the top right bar, so removed it in favour of Yahoo (which I am not a fan of either!). Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

How do I get rid of the quicklink tips under the google search bar on the Firefox home page?

I want to lose the quicktips that appear under the Google search bar when I open Firefox

You can install the Stylish extension and add the above posted code.
*Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
See also http://userstyles.org/help/stylish_firefox
About changing the above mentioned browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref:
Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key to open the about:config page, just like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
*If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
Use the search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref more easily.
Double click the line with this pref to modify the value and simply remove the URL that you see to leave an empty string field.
Click OK to confirm the new empty value.
This will disable loading new snippets from the server.
Steps 2-4 are about clearing already downloaded snippets, but you can skip this and only hide the snippets with the Stylish extension.

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar?

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar? the drop down boxes are really starting to annoy me!

You can't turn off the suggestions in Safari, though you may be able to do that if you install Glims, which also offers some additional options that aren't available directly in Safari.
Quit Safari before you install it, then restart and go to Preferences>Glims to setup your options.
As for drop-down boxes, what exactly are you referring to?

For some reason my google search bar which normally sits in the top right hand side of my screen has disappeared, but my normal search bar still remains. I want to get the google search bar back, but I'm not sure how

Hi, in almost every other browser, when i save a document or attach a file in my gmail i have a search bar in the top right hand corner of the window pane that opens. Does Firefox do this?

for example, those of you running windows, if you key;
start/computer/C drive you will notice a search bar in tope right hand corner. Can this happen in Firefox.

Go to this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?country=AU
Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

How do I permanently disable search history in the Google search bar?

In Firefox 3.6, left-clicking the drop-down arrow by the Google icon, then selecting "Manage Search Engines..." only allows you to disable Search Suggestions. Right-clicking the search bar only allows me to "Clear Search History".
How do I PERMANENTLY disable search history when I type in the Google search bar?

Disabling "Remember search AND form history" is not the correct solution in my case, what I need is Firefox to offer to split the option and disable "Search Bar History" while keeping "Form History" enabled.
How can I do that?

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu.
I have tried to select one of the suggestions that google give me for my search but FF it wont let me. I have type everything out in full. I hate FF4 it is rubbish. I loved firefox before this one came out but now I am seriously thinking of going over to google chrome.

What is the shortcut to delete search history in the Google search bar?

I did a google search for this question before, and VIOLA!
However, I have forgotten the simple procedure.
There was a way to highlight all the search history in the Google search bar (Large one in center of page)
Then press ???control and another key? I forget...please help.
Thanks for any and all help.
I much enjoy Firefox over Explorer, which was kicking my offline continually!
FIREFOX solved all issues.
Thanks,

I saw your other post first: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952848]. Hope that helps.

Get rid of the google search bar??

I want net neutrality. Google must go. I loaded Firefox on windows-xp and the Google search bar still comes up within Firefox. How do I GET RID OF GOOGLE??
I have used Firefox on Linux also on the same machine.

webgrunt, this thread posted about a year ago.
The Search bar is a not a Google search bar but rather it just had Google selected as the search engine at time.

Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.
