Firefox 8 - How to be able to use address area to do search with Google as the default??

The instructions posted did not work...it took me to YouTube...is there a string I can use in "keyword.url" that will change the address bar search to Google instead of Yahoo?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

  • Mail wants to use the restricted Service "Search With Google."

    This is the response/error I see when I try to do a Google search from an email message - "Mail wants to use the restricted Service “Search With Google.”"

    Interesting - I just created a new user account I named "Test", and tried "Search With Google" in Notes and it worked fine in this new account.  Without any additional change, I went back into my normal user account, and tried to use "Search with Google" on the highlighted word, and it pulled up the Google search fine as well.  No reason I can think of that these actions would have resolved the problem - e.g., either the creation of the "Test" account, or switching between this "Test" account and my normal account.  Possibly creating new account caused a cleanup of the Safari preferences to point to version 6.0.(essentially reset the default)
    Would be curious if droow007 solution works for others.  Definitely quicker than the route I went :~)

  • I need to change my apple ID because I'm changing my email address. I'm worried that when I do, I'll no longer be able to use my first generation apple tv unless I change the apple ID there as well.  Does anyone know how this works??

    I have to change my apple ID because I'm changing my email address. (I have a Comcast address and am switching to U-verse) I'm worried that when I do, I'll no longer be able to use my first generation apple tv unless I change the apple ID there as well. I'm also trying to find out if changing my apple ID is going to interfere with getting my itunes content on my computer and my iphone.  Does anyone know how this works??

    My iTunes appleID is an old defunct e-mail address - it does not have to be functional.
    Do what Winston says to ensure you keep getting correspondence related to that ID.

  • How am i able to use the same itunes account on a different ipod?

    How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?

    By just using the same iTunes account.  If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account.  Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account.  Do not create a new one.

  • How am I able to use an injected EJB in a Managed Bean Constructor?

    JSF 1.2
    EJB 3.0
    Glassfish v1
    Summary:
    Managed bean injected EJB is null when referencing EJB var in constructor.
    Details:
    In my managed bean, I have a constructor that tries to reference an injected EJB, such as:
    public class CustomerBean implements Serializable {
    @EJB private CustomerSessionRemote customerSessionRemote;
    public CustomerBean() {
    List<CustomerRow> results = customerSessionRemote.getCustomerList();
    }The call within the constructor to customerSessionRemote is null - I've double checked this in Netbeans 5.5.
    How am I able to use an injected EJB in a Managed Bean Constructor?
    Thanks,
    --Todd                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

    OK, I was reading the article Web Tier to Go With Java EE 5: A Look at Resource Injection and I understand your statement too.
    Is there any way possible to Inject the EJB prior to the bean instance creation at all?
    Maybe, I need to approach it with the old fashion Java EE 1.4 route and using JNDI in the PostConstruct annotated method to reference the EJB in the managed bean.
    This had to been thought out before, I don't understand why a manged bean's life cycle places any injections at the end of the bean creation.
    Also, now that I understand that the @PostConstruct annotated method will be called by the container after the bean has been constructed and before any business methods of the bean are executed.
    I am trying to reference my EJB as part of the creation of the managed bean.
    What happens: the JSF page loads the managed bean and I need to populate a listbox component with data from an EJB.
    When I try to make the call to the EJB in the listbox setter method, the EJB reference is null.
    Now, I'm not for sure if the @PostConstruct annotation is going to work... hmmmm.
    ** Figured it out. ** I just needed to move the EJB logic that was still in the setter of the component I wanted to populate into the annotated PostConstruct method.

  • How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

  • If i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

    if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

    They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime.  Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
    You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.

  • HT1893 How can I still print using a 'hp designjet 120nr (C7791B)' with OS X 10.8.3?

    How can I still print using a 'hp designjet 120nr (C7791B)' with OS X 10.8.3? I cannot get the drivers to work?

    Thank you once again Matthew. I understand the importance of being thourough and followed your instruction exactly. I really thought that this would solve it and was ready to click 'This solved my question'. However I still have the same print options as before, no 'A1 on the roll'.
    Although, when I copied:
    'sudo pkgutil --forget org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip'
    into Terminal it did say somehting along the lines of 'nothing found' (sorry I didnt copy the text). Could this be part of the issue?
    In this case the instructions were incorrect.  I forgot that the uninstaller would run that command.  The reason for that command was to let the system know that foomatic-rip 4.0.6 had been removed.  I am sure that you were able to then install foomatic-rip version 3.43.2.15.  There are two ways to confirm that the older version is now installed.  First, if you can print at all, it is present.  You could also copy and paste the following command in the Terminal.  It should respond with the version that is installed:
    pkgutil --pkg-info org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip | grep version
    Do I need to change the PPD at all?
    There is no need to change the PPD.  PPDs are reflective of the software (drivers) that are called from the PPD.  You can put anything you want in the PPD.  If that capability is not in the driver, having it in the PPD won't make it work.
    Setting a job to print from A1 Roll Paper is a two step process.  First you select the Paper Size which is A1.
    Then look under the pop up menu below Paper Size for an item called Paper Feed.
    Select Paper Feed.  Then you will be able to select where/how the paper is being fed to the printer.  This is where you can choose Roll Paper (Cut) or Roll Paper (No Cut) among other choices.
    Other drivers may have A1 Roll Paper listed under Paper Size.  Perhaps that is how the HP driver was.  There would still have had to be a place, then to check whether or not you wanted the paper to be cut and/or whether you were feeding sheets of paper from one of the other paths.
    Let us know if you can find all the options now and that you are able to keep your normal workflow.

  • HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

    How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto?  Will photo stream be eliminated?  I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

    What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto?  Will photo stream be eliminated?  I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

    Just because Apple will no longer support IPhoto or Aperture doesn't mean that the versions that are still out there still won't work, function or still do what it is designed to do.
    I do not like all of this offsite, Cloud service storage, anyways. I rather have easy, trouble free access to all of my data locally.
    I am still planning on using the current versions of IPhoto and Aperture as I am not moving any time soon to Yosemite or any newer OS versions based on it. I still use a lot of legacy software that I simply can't afford to upgrade any farther.
    Plus, I use other photo book sites other than Apple's own service, anyways, because these other services offer more products and are far more flexible than Apple's own print services.

  • Will I still be able to use ilife, iwork or any of my applications after the upgrade to Maverick? I currently have version 10.6.8. Thanks!

    The ONLY stuff that should give you trouble is anything that requires Roestta to run. iLife apps can be upgraded for free, and iWork 09 should still run. Office 2011 and Adobe Creative Suite CS5 and CS6 run like before on my Mini.

  • How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
    There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
    But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
    Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone?

    How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone? She is on my phone plan but does not live with me and I am concerned about the apps she may be using.

        baniville108,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. We certainly know the importance of being able to know what options are available with your device. With apps on devices, thoses are specific to the phone itself, so there is no open forum to view what apps are downloaded. The only option would be to physically review from the phone, or if you have the same Apple ID you can log into it and view from there. Please let us know if you need anymore assistance.
    Thank you,
