Contents of google search bar are deleated when command to search is given

When I do an Internet search from the main Google website everything works fine. Any subsequent searches fail. I type my search words into the search box and press "enter" or click on the "search" button and instead of executing the search, the contents of the search bar are deleted.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am not sure, I had a virus last week but I am fairly sure I delt with it. i also installed some new software that did a major update of my .net framework

This is usually caused by conflicting extensions. Try disabling some extensions to see if that fixes it: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

The status bar and search bar are black in safari

Just in the last few days when I go to Safari on my IPad 2 the status and search bars are black with white print. I want the silver and white color scheme back, can you help?

Turn off Private Browsing mode.
Touch the URL field and then touch "Private" at the upper left of the keyboard to turn off Private Browsing.

Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that his system requirements are insufficient when trying to use a given version of Flash Player?

Hi,
Could you please let me know if Flash Player will inform a user that his system requirements are insufficient when trying to use a given version of Flash Player?
Regards

It depends, but in general, no.
The guidance on minimum system requirements is mostly about what we will and won't fix bugs for. Flash Player probably works on Windows Server 2000, and we're not going to intentionally break it or prevent you from installing it, but we're also not going to fix it if it breaks. In instances where it's going to crash on launch or have some other horrendous out-of-box experience, like attempting to install on a PowerPC Mac, then we'll prevent the installation outright.

How do I make the search bar on the default Firefox Homepage search in Google rather than AOL?

On the default home page for Firefox 4, the one with the restore previous session on it, the search bar links to AOL Search. This does not seem to happen on other computers. How do I make it search in Google?

In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
#In the filter at the top, type '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and replace the current setting with http://www.google.com/search?q= (''it has to be entered exactly as you see it written here - but since this is a URL, right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard, then CTRL+V to paste it'')
#Close Firefox via File | Exit and then restart it again.
To reset it to something else afterwards, see [[How to set the home page]]

Using search bar in itunes when not connected to internet causes problem

I just upgraded to the newest version of itunes and I haven't had this problem before, but when I use the search bar in itunes to find something in the library (when I'm off line)I get an error report to send. Does the new itunes require being online even to look up something in the library or a playlist?

I'm getting a similar problem, not the exact error message, but one telling me I need to connect to the internet to buy itunes, when I am connected, so I'll be interested in the answer to your question too

My Google tool bars are gone and info. says 5.0 does not support...I want to return to 4.0

I had a Google tool bar with Google Bookmarks, auto fill, spell check and several other "buttons" all are gone and information I located said that Firefox 5.0 does not support...I am not happy...I used these tool bars all the time. I want to return to Firefox 4.0

I am very unhappy...will probably return to internet explorer...I used my google tool bar all the time...it was the most used and most important part of my computer.

Multiple search bar - each tab has its own search bar

Firefox has global search bar - no matter how many tabs open all of them will have one search bar with the same search request.
What should one does to have a new and empty search bar for a new tab?
In other worlds I would like to open a new Tab with new search bar with empty field.
Thanks in advance

1st screenshot = those are plugins, not extensions! I'm leaning towards an extension doing that, more so now after looking at your prefs settings.
2nd = looks like you turned off '''browser.search.suggest.enabled''' = you shouldn't be getting any suggestions at all
and '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' isn't disabled
I have no experience with that pref not being disabled. I turned that pref off when I first saw it in Beta 34, because it totally screwed up the way I do searches with 35 search engines installed where as many as 5 use the same icon and there are 3 different groups of engines that have 2 or 3 of the same icon. Same domain but use different search parameters or terms.
One more thing - maybe the search engine you have selected is providing that "search" string. Google may do that if you don't have "suggestions" turned off in your Google+ prefs, iirc - especially if you are always logged into Google+.

How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

Trying searching for something and when i hit search nothing happens.

I uninstalled firefox because when I type something in the search bar and hit search (or enter) nothing happened. So I reinstalled it and have the same problem as before. Please Help!!!

'''''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''''' {web link}
This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets
your search preferences and home page to their default values,
and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar
searches, and the home page.

How can I stop the search bar from hiding when I load a new page in the tab?

It's driving me nuts.

Make Search bar in "Save/Open" dialog box search in filename only

By default it searches inside files, is there a way to restrict it to filenames?

Not to start it going, no. But you can change it to name only. Type something, anything, in the Search box. When the search gets started you'll notice you have a new line under the toolbar that has
Computer Home "SomeFolder" Save +
With "SomeFolder" probably being either the last folder used in the application, or else the one you have navigated to. Then there is the Save button (although I can't imagine what it would actually be useful for) and the "plus" inside a little circle. Click the + and another line appears, with "Kind: Any"--change to Name in the drop down menu and select which of the usual options you want (Contains, Begins with, etc). BTW, I was just fooling around with it, and discovered that while the Name option works perfectly well, the options for Date Created and Date Modified don't work at all, although Last Opened seems to be OK. Ah well.

Lost search bar and now see clock in search bar

Searchbar no longer works. I reset Firefrox and this did not help. Think it maybe Trojan.

Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
If not then reinstall Firefox to get all default search engines.

Search box text used by command-F search - can this be changed?

I started using Safari much more in Leopard than I previously did before. One annoying thing I have discovered is that if I use the search box to search the Internet, whatever I entered now becomes the search text when I use command-g (Find again) or command-f (Find).
This is not the behavior I am accustomed to with Firefox. In Firefox using the search box has no affect on the text used by command-f (Find) and command-g (Find again).
I have looked through the preferences and options but haven't found anyway to change Safari's behavior. Do you have a solution?

Hi Duane,
I must admit you have me stumped as well. I noticed that command-f also picks up what I last entered in Spotlight and the search text is retained across Safari restarts.
For the life of me I can't see where it's picking this information from. I even searched all my user files via find/grep to see where it was storing it between starts - nothing found...
The only good thing about the 'weirdness' is that the search text is selected by default so you can immediately overwrite it.
Very odd...

When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.
