    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • My search bar does not work

    I just installed Firefox 4. When I enter something into my search bar on the home page.... nothing happens. I've tried hitting enter and clicking on the search button. I have also waited and waited. Nothing.
    I have to manually enter a new site in the address bar or go to a bookmark to search for anything.
    I have tried reinstalling to the same effect.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
    2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    CS 5.5
    When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
    This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.

    MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
    When I use
    firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
    I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
    How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

  • Firefox menu bar appears- file/edit/history etc but the actual page with the search bar does not appear and is blank

    when clicking firefox icon to open the internet, all that appears are the options along the top of the page. the rest of the screen does not appear revealing the desktop picture. The firefox page with the search bar does not appear.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Bookmark bar does not work on one of my computers - w XP

    Firefox 4.0 - the bookmark bar does not work. It appears but will not accept drags.
    PC w Windows XP - 3.
    Another thing too - The open new tab does not show up at all, in order to open a new tab I had to put the "open new tab" tab into the navigation toolbar.
    (Works fine on my other computer, & it drives me nuts to have to use Firefox w 2 different setups...)

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  Have you tried republishing your site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option?

  • Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS

    Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS'''bold text'''

    Hi Sameer,
    There's no version of Windows Vista that is supported, regardless of service packs.  You can always upgrade to Windows 7, though.
    Your other option is to use Brackets, the open source editor that Edge Code is based on.  It still supports Vista for now.  The downside is that Brackets lacks some features of Edge Code: Kuler integration, Edge Inspect integration, and Edge Web Fonts code hints -- although all of those except Kuler are offered as optional Brackets extensions too (you just have to install them).
    Hope that helps,
    - Peter

  • HT4061 iphone 3GS screen locked, slide bar does not work

    Iphone 3GS. The slide bar does not work, ie the screen lock does not unlock. I have tried to reset (power and home buttons) and also to restore my iphone several times using iTunes without any success. Any suggestions? My son uses the phone now for games, so it has no carrier.

    A reset can be done by tapping and holding the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears.

  • My search function does not work. How can I fix it?

    Hello
    I need help I just bough a macbook 13 inch, with snow leopard
    and the search function does not work.

    Hello paola t & welcome to the forums
    I need help I just bough a macbook 13 inch
    It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
    Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

  • Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

    Hello!
    I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
    I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
    All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
    I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
    What can I do about it ?

    It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
    Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • TOC, Search, Index does not work after hosting published files in Multiscreen HTML5

    I have generated and published the files for multiscreen html5. The default screen layout is Desktop_layout. When I access index.htm directly from the published location, every function and all details work beautifully. However, once I host the published files in IIS, and type the URL in Google Chrome, the screen layout is all messed up. TOC, Index, Glossary and the Search function does not work. Please help/suggest/guide.

    Could this be related to IIS? I host it locally on IIS (8.0 on Windows 8.1 Pro) and on Apache without any problems. But IIS can give trouble if the folder security options are not set correctly, so please make sure the IIS User has full read rights on all directories and files.
    Kind regards,

  • Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

    Hello,
    I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
    I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
    (search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
    I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
    I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
    What to do?
    Thanks,
    C.

    Anyone? Any ideas?

  • Google search suggestion does not work

    I have Google set as my default search engine in the upper right hand corner. Until today when I start typing it automatically gives suggestions. Now this feature does not work on my laptop which uses Windows XP. However, it works on my desktop PC using Windows XP just fine. If I go to google.com and start typing in the search bar the web site offers suggestions. Therefore I feel the problem has something to do with Firefox 3.6.8

    I use Firefox on mt mac. The toolbar search boxes stopped working with the latest upgrade to version 3.6.8

  • Middle click on search suggestions in Search Bar does not switch to new tab

    I use profile option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" = yes (check marked)
    Middle clicking on a search suggestion in the Search Bar does open a new tab but Firefox does not switch to it.
    This feature used to work for many years until very recently.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    Did the problem start with the new search bar design in Firefox 34?
    If you want to switch back to using the old bar, it's still hidden inside. Here's how you would do it:
    (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.
    I'm not sure when that will be phased out...
