Firefox 4 default start page "google" missing. If its missing i cant use the search. Search is not working! (window7 working) Windows xp not working.

about:home is blank at Win xp, search is working at firefox 4 at win7.

Hello spidermains,
Happy to see that I have a friend in that adventure
Look I have a blog entry here:
http://www.happytocode.com/post/Can-I-use-the-new-Apple-USB-Aluminium-keyboard-o n-Windows.aspx
That post describes all the steps I followed to extract the drivers from the dual boot camp CD.
I'm using a PC, only a PC. I do not have any Apple computer (yet).
When I mention boot camp, I mean the boot camp CD on one side and the boot camp utilities on the other side. To be more specific the tool I'm talking about is the kbrmgr.exe
That tool sits in the systray and is handling the special keys of the keyboard.
If you have other questions... let me know,
John.

Firefox default start page uses facemoods search engine instead of google

Hi, I have issue with Firefox. Today I’ve notice that when I’m using search option on default Firefox 4.0 start page (about:home), results are displayed with Facemoods search engine instead of Google. I have uninstalled Facemoods from system and Firefox, yet it didn't work.

I haven't heard of this one before. The uninstall must have left behind a few settings.
The page corresponding to "about:home" must be set in a hidden preference. You can search for and reset it using the about:config feature.
(1) Type or page '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please be careful)
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''facemoods''' and pause while Firefox searches
(3) The bolded lines show changes from the original Firefox setup. Some you might want to save, but mostly you would want to reset them to default. Right-click each one you want to change and choose Reset.
This blog post describes an additional fix for the address bar search feature if you use that: [http://www.flywithmysoul.com/2010/09/remove-facemood-from-firefox.html Fly With Me: Remove Facemood From Firefox].
Finally, I found a very long cleanup guide on the Spybot S&D forums which might be useful if the above doesn't solve it: [http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=61616 Manual Removal Guide for Toolbar.Facemood - Safer-Networking Forums].
Does it work?

Have registered and signed in have not received your confirmation. Cant get passed starter page.Google is my default

Have been Firefox user many years. Had to uninstall Windows7. On reinstall Windows asked me to choose default browser, chose Crome. Registered and signed in with Firefox .Have not received promised email.Tried twice.Therefor cant start using Firefox as cant get past Start page.

Was the registration for Firefox Sync ??
There is a form on the welcome page to sign up for the newsletter, but you do not need to wait to use Firefox on the web. You should be able to search using the search bar, or address bar, or the built-in home page (possibly a second tab behind or next to the welcome page). Try clicking the home button (house icon on the main toolbar).
If the welcome page keeps coming back every time you restart Firefox, that might be caused by a different issue, a problem updating your settings. Is that the problem?

User Defined Default Starting Page

Hopefully an easy question...what table holds the user defined default starting page? Specifically in 11g.
Thanks!

Hi,
Tried to set default dashboard for all the users.
1. Created a session init block
2. Used data source as select '/shared/SH Test/_portal/Test1' from dual
3. Assigned this value to PORTALPATH session variable
4. In Presentation services > Administration > My account > Default dashboard should be set to 'default'. Then only the dashboard specified in init block will be displayed otherwise My account will override the init block.
5. Save the changes made to rpd.
5. Logout and relogin to see if it is working fine. it is working perfectly fine.
For details please refer the GSC replication document. But it is for all the users.
if customer would like to have user/group based home page.
1. They may need to have 2 separate tables.
i. Group_path_tab with 2 columns. Group_id, portal_path
Have group wise portal path for all the groups
ii. User-group map table
Group_id, Group_name, user_id
User should be part of some group.
2. Then in the init block write the sql should be something like this
select A.portal_path from Group_path_tab A, User_group_map B
where B.user_id = :USER
and B.Group_id = A.Group_id
SO based on USER session variable, it will try to identify the group and then the portal_path.
Finally assign this value to PORTALPATH session variable.
xample:
Kindly refer the below one..it will very helpful to set homepage for to be different on a per user/group basis
http://varanasisaichand.blogspot.com/2010/09/default-dashboard-using-portalpath.html
http://total-bi.com/2011/01/obiee-11g-change-default-dashboard/
i.e:
Init block
select '/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting' from dual
Variable target is PORTALPATH (IT'S CASE SENSITIVE)
'/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting'
finally it's be like this
actual (earliar one)
http://w01sgpcbiapp1a:9704/analytics/saw.dll?dashboard&PORTALPATH=&/shared/AFS/_portal/GPC AFS Reporting
after calling default one :

We have an adword(vioolverkoop.nl) account at Google. If i use the search engine of firefox all our competitors are shown except for us. When i use IE or Chrome the problem doesn't occur. What do I have to do to appear as a sponsored result in the results

We pay for our adwords at Google just as our competitors do. However they appear(e.g. violinshop.eu) but we(vioolverkoop.nl) don't
Please help us.

I don't think I can replicate your results without knowing your keywords. I tested using ''used cars'' and got quite a bit of variation.
If I search from the Firefox about:home page, I get this results page URL:
http://www.google.com/search?q=used%20cars&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&source=hp&channel=np
If I use the search box, I get this shorter URL:
http://www.google.com/search?q=used+cars&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
I get slightly different ads, and in the right column, a different order; in some cases the same advertiser has different text.
In IE 8 using the search box, I get:
http://www.google.com/search?q=used+cars&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=
The ads are slightly different again. In all 3 cases, Google is detecting my IP address city and effectively serving localized ads.

I just downloaded (updated) Firefox to V 20.0.1 now the "search" does not work, either via the mouse click or the enter key. Windows XP.

Updated to latest version, V 20.0.1 Now when on the home page the "search" does not function with mouse click or the enter key. Currently running XP Service pack 3. I also have the same problem (after same firefox update at home with my HP laptop running Windows 7.

You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder. 
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
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).
Try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
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 when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I cant use the "google search" button but no proble, with internet explorer. The" feeling lucky" works.

i cant use the "google search" button with firefox 3.6.6 or even 3.5. I have no problem with searching google on internet explorer. The" Im feeling lucky" button works. The google search tab on the top right corner of firefox browser works fine. But the main google search button on the google site doesnt work. I havent changed anything. i cant do anymore google searches.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www. google.com

When click on search, the Google search result didn't update (the google search page didn't change). BUT the url bar on top did have the Google URL updated with the new search term.
Something like
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=firefox+3.6+problem+with+google+search+button&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=dd2d1939af06a5a
So the URL is changed when I click the Google SEARCH button on the page. Just the page not changed nor updated.
And when I click "Reload current Page", then the page is reloaded with the new google search result.

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

Firefox hangs on the default Start Page

Hey.
I'm having a rather odd problem where Firefox hangs for about ten seconds while loading the default home page. It has worked just fine for years, and then suddenly yesterday every time I open a new tab or start Firefox (basically anything that would take me to the start page,) I get a 10-15 second hang.
I've confirmed this by changing the homepage to the old "http://www.google.com/firefox" which completely fixes the issue. No other pages do it, only the start page.
I've tried safe mode, but I knew it wouldn't yield any results as I've not changed configuration in any way for years.
I've tried updating to the most recent version of Firefox, this also had no effect.
I tried backing up my profile and resetting Firefox, of course still no effect.
Finally I tried completely uninstalling all Mozilla products, then sweeping the registry for any of their keys, then reinstalling it all. Still hangs on the start page.
So that this point I just restored my backed up profiles, scratched my head and came here.
The obvious solution would be to change homepage, but I can't let it beat me. =P
Anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty stumped at this point.

-Pokes up- I did, and its reply is simply 0 then does nothing.
My firefox version is also not old, I just downloaded a new instillation trying to fix this.

When opening Firefox my default home page is google, and it is now defaulting to Brazilian. How do I change it back to English

As noted, about a week ago when I open firefox the google home page is opening up in Brazilian instead of English.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Firefox won't start after google chrome imported all data(bookmarks,passwords,history,etc) from firefox

firefox won't start after i import the data to google chrome.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Toshiba default start page

I've had the default Toshiba partnerpage with Google as my homepage for the last 2 years, which I had personalized to include a notepad in which I jotted down my to-do list, or other little data points I wanted to remember. Recently, Toshiba has revamped this homepage - WITHOUT ANY WARNING - and now I can't find my notepad, which had some info which now seems to be lost.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to recover the info on my notepad (or even my entire old homepage...I don't like the new one at all!)? HELP!!!

Unfortunately, that is NOT ehe start page that people are complaining about losing. If you had actually read the entire thread prior to posting you would have known that the link you provided is to a different start page, not the one that was discontinued 4 years ago. That start page hasn't been available since the the partner who provided the page stopped doing so with people losing information that they had saved on a notepad or sticky type note on that page because they had failed to keep a copy of that information anywhere else.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Firefox 4 default start page "google" missing. If its missing i cant use the search. Search is not working! (window7 working) Windows xp not working.
