Why does search engine drop down menu only works once?

I'm quite happy with the new Safari 4 (first time user) but I'm frustrated by only being able to select once with my mouse from the 'Recent Searches' drop down window.
Let me explain. After I launch Safari 4, I'm able to use my mouse and select one of the recent searches in the drop down menu in the normal fashion - go to an item on the menu and press the LH mouse button.
However, after I've done this once, I can't do it again. When I select an item from the list and click my LH mouse button, the search window goes blank. The previous Google search results stay the same. If I highlight an item from the drop down menu and press the Enter key on the keyboard, it works fine. A mystery!
The funny part is that it works fine on my other laptop.
I've unistalled and reinstalled twice but with no success. When I do reinstall, my previous preferences/settings are still there. Where's the preference file so I can delete it? Don't know, but this might help my problem.
Anyone else seen this problem?
Regards
John

Hi mach37, can you delete the Vosteran search engine by highlighting it on the Search panel of the Options dialog and using the Remove button?
''If it comes back:'' I would suspect a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (on XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Why is the browser hijacker Vosteran listed in the search engine drop down menu?

New download of Firefox 33.1 has a known browser hijacker listed in the drop down menu. It took me several hours to remove it's damaging files and get any browser to work correctly again. This is insane!

What happened to the search engine drop down menu

Hello,
I am using Firefox 32.0.3. There used to be a drop down search engine menu on Firefox. Has it been removed from the latest version or is there some settings adjustment I can make to get it back? Thanks for any feedback.

Hi brianvt, if you find the new design less productive, it is possible to switch back to the old search bar. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''search''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' preference to switch it from true to false
This doesn't affect the current window, but each new window you open (Ctrl+n) will have the old Search bar.

Username Drop Down Menu Not Working

I'm having an issue with the drop down menu when I'm attempting to sign on or auto fill on certain websites. I have checked and indeed Firefox has saved usernames and passwords but it will not show up in the drop down box. When I double click on the box to sign in the drop box opens but everything is blank. If I manually type in the username then the password will auto fill. I have checked all my settings and I'm not in private browsing, I'm saving cookies and I'm not auto deleting anything when I sign off.
Any ideas on what could be the problem? I have attached a link to see a screen save of the issue.
Thank you in advance for all your assistance.

Yes, I was using the form fill feature on the google toolbar. I have been using it for awhile with no problems but I turned it off and now my drop down menu is working properly.
Thank you for replying!

When customizing my Button Toobars I can't get the Bookmark Toolbar Drop down menu to stay, it simply disappears once I close the customization window

How can I get rid of "History and Bookmarks" section from the search history drop down menu in safari 6.0.2?

Let's just say I have saved bookmarks of things that i do NOT want my friends to see when they use my computer occasionally. I know they could go and find these bookmarks anyway in the bookmarks menu but they dont snoop around my computer. i would rather it not just pop up when they go to search for something or type in a webpage. If there is no way to customize what shows up in the drop down menu for search results then that is something apple overlooked. Not everybody wants things all in one place. Whats the point of deleting search history and website history if its just going to show the certain things you have bookmarked? Any solution to this would be appreciated. One solution i thought would work was disabling search from suggesting, but i guess that only supresses the webpages not the url/search bar. Oh and this is for safari 6.0.2 please dont give me outdated advice.
Thanks

No Search engines listed in the Manage Search Engine drop down

After the most recent update 15.0.1 I have NO SEARCH ENGINES on my computer None listed in the drop down menu under "manage search engines" Everything is greyed out so I can't add anything

Do you still see the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)?
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected whenever you uninstall Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Try to delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

How to build advanced search with drop down menu (ASP)

Hi,
I'm using CS4 with ASP / SQL. I have a search page which contains only 2 fields; one is user input (search term), the other is a drop down menu to define which column they want to search on. How can I define the SQL statement - or can I only choose to search on values in the table, rather than on columns?
thanks

Which dropdown menu you want to customized ?The specific menu we would like to customize is the 'Action' menu on the Person form that usually contains 'Create Employment' and so on. We have a specific recruiter responsibility that we would like to limit to 'Create Applicant'. I have been unable to come up with a combination of steps in personalizations that sets that value in the dropdown and allows it then be unchangeable. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I would prefer not to create a custom form but without personalizations, I might have to.

Spry drop down menu not working after page created from template

Hi all.
I created a template and the drop down Spry menu is working fine on local testing on my browser as follows:
I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
Here is my site map:
Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear Nancy
Very grateful for your reply.
On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus).
Here is the code:

Cisco Call Manager Administration Page Drop down menu not working

I'm running the mobile app browser on my Xoom tablet and when I log into Cisco Call Manager Administration page I get the menu's but it will not pull down the options. The same issue happens in google chrome. I use your browser on my desktop and have no issues logging into Cisco Call Manager Administration page and getting the drop down menu's to appear but the mobile version of your browser is not working. Is there a work around? I tried changing the UAString to Desktop, iPad etc and the issue is still there.

Thanks but I've tried all that. It happens in Chrome also. I've tried Opera and it works on that. I've read other forums and it looks like a Java script issue that Chrome and now Firefox Mobile cannot seem to resolve. My preference is Firefox and I'm sure as more tablets get out then this will be solved at some point. I just don't know how it is prioritized. I do know that in order for Androids to be viable in the business sector they need to address issues like these with a higher priority.

Homepage drop down menu not working - no stray file.

The site is: http://ww.qtadvisors.com
The drop down menus are working on every page but not on the homepage. The only thing I added recently was the Twitter feed. Can someone help? I looked for any stray files and there are none.
thanks!
Steve

It appears you were able to figure this out. The sub-menus are working fine on the home page.
Thanks,

Browser drop down menu not working

My browser/navigation drop down menu is no longer working. I'm unable to select my most visited sites without have to type in the web address every time, how do i fix this issue?

I can access the website, but the drop down menu (from the navigation menu bar) doesn't save the web address, so i still have to type in comcast.net or www.yahoo.com every time, vs clicking on the drop down menu (from the navigation menu bar) if that makes sense.

Why does search engine drop down menu only works once?
