Firefox in a limited Windows account won't search using in-built search engines on the search bar + awesome bar.

It works in the administrator account but not for all other limited accounts. I created a new limited account so it had no addons or changed options but search still did not work.
If I enter anything in the awesome bar/ search bar, it shows "Looking up nameofwebsite.com" instead of "Waiting for nameofwebsite.com".
I noticed that it searches using https:. If I search using google, I can take out the s part of https so that the http protocol is used, and when I press enter, it works, but the browser adds in the s and searches in https.
Everything else works fine except for the search capabilities.

Weird. Last time I tried Wikipedia, it came with a connection error. Now it doesn't and Wikipedia search now works. I think that simply restarting the computer fixed this Wikipedia problem. Now this is the status of Firefox:
* Google Search = Works
* Bing search = Works
* Amazon Search = Works
* Ebay Search = Works
* Wikipedia Search = Works
* Twitter Search = Certificate Error (Doesn't have the 'Add Exception' Option)
* Yahoo search = Certificate Error (Has the 'Add Exception' Option)
I previously added Google as an exception, but I discovered that Bing, Amazon, Ebay and Wikipedia now work too. I would like to find out if I can use these services securely because I'm worried that their encryption might be broken, etc.
I would also like to find out how to fix Yahoo and Twitter Search.
Is there like any settings under about:config that I could change or anything that I could look under the certificate that would help?
When I type 'asdf' (without quotes) in Yahoo search, it autocompletes to 'https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=asdf&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35'. If I do the same with Twitter search, it autocompletes to 'https://twitter.com/search?q=asdf&partner=Firefox&source=desktop-search'.
I uploaded screenshots of the error pages:

Problem with loading a Sequence File - Limited Windows Account

Dear Sirs,
I have a problem and a very less time to fix it; so I'm asking for your kind help.
I have a production PC, with a Debug Deploy License of TS 3.1 and LV 7.1; the operating system is Win XP SP2.
No problem when I login the session with my Administrator Windows Account; on the contrary, when I try to login with a Limited Windows Account, I'm not able to load my Sequence File, and the text appearing is attached to this message.
Someone can advise me a solution to quickly solve my problem?
Thank you very much and Best Regards.
Stefano

Stefano,
if you open files in TestStand, TestStand tracks this in different configuration files (for example for the "most recently used" list). Therefore, TestStand tries to save these changes in the ini-files. It seems to me, that the installationdirectory of TestStand is not permitted to be used for writing for your user login in Windows.
So you have different solutions here, the simpliest being:
Give your user the right to write files into the < TestStand >\-folder.
hope this helps,

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.

I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
Thanks

A couple of other things you might like to try :-
- Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ? Can you access the Windows 8 store ? ) If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection. If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
- Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
- Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
- As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall.
One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did. I'm using it now !

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

When I initialize Firefox Bing comes up as he Search Engine in the Search box. How can I change this to initialize with a different search engine? Thank you.

Firefox 3.6.9 / Windows 7 will not print using font specified with @font-face - any workarounds?

I've seen a few mentions of this problem around the interwebs, but can't find a resolution. I used [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator fontsquirrel's font-face generator] to prepare different versions of a font for cross-browser display. Screen presentation in almost all browsers is fine, and almost all browsers print the embedded font as well - except for Firefox/PC (3.6.9/Windows 7).
I have tried inline styles, styles inside of the head, and external stylesheets, all with and without media type print. What can I do?

Hi John,
Can u try the work around mentioned in the below link
http://notsomany.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/jinitiator-working-on-windows-7/
Also some times IE8 can block the webutil_file_transfer.
AS_to_Client if "protected mode" is ON for the security zone your forms url is in (look in the statusbar in IE ->
internet, trusted site, ... -> protected mode: On/Off)

Firefox 6.02 will not save my privacy settings (Use Custom Settings) when I close the window

I am trying to set up my preferences in Google and it tells me that my cookies are not enabled. I open the Firefox 6 Preferences / Privacy window and select the Custom Settings option, to enable third party cookies. When I close the screen the setting is not saved. I am using Firefox 6.02 with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I took the check mark out of the "Remember Download History" box and closed the screen. It saved the privacy settings.

Irc account keeps disconnecting cannot use IM what is nick at the beginning of the name ..can i use another name ? thank you

'nick' is your nickname which you entered when you set up the IRC chat. You can register your nickname by entering "/msg nickserv register <password> <email address>"
Then when you start next time enter "/msg nickserv identify <password>"
You can get a list of nickserv commands by entering "/msg nickserv help"

Firefox 4 does not search from Location Bar (Awesome Bar)

I have searched the knowledge base, and not found anything exactly like my problem. A similar question, '''[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/815325 Url Keyword guessing does not work]''' is close... but only close. Link below.
I was previously able to type some keywords into the Location (Awesome) Bar, and it would either jump to an appropriate page, or come up with a Google Search page of possible sites.
I have upgraded to FF4, and while I can successfully conduct searches from the dedicated Search Bar, typing keywords into the Location Bar brings this problem. I have used "Mozilla Foundation" as my search keys:
'''Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesmozilla+foundation.'''
The portion '''file:///C:/Program''' appears blue as if it is a link, but clicking on it, nothing happens. I have attempted multiple search keys, and nothing changes.
I have attempted to use the about:config | keyword.enabled to turn it off, then back on, and it doesn't seem to have worked. I really can't decipher anything about the message that I do get (above). This may or may not matter, but I was surprised to find that my existing Add-On, "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1" is no longer compatible, and thus not functioning.
Thank you very much for helping.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config 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=

Firefox 21 running on Windows 7 won't allow creation of new bookmarks

I just installed Firefox 21 on a PC running Windows 7. I cannot access the "About" screen, and Firefox will not create new bookmarks. Neither clicking on the star in the navigation window or right-clicking the dropdown menu works.
I might add that every time Firefox has installed a new version after version 19, some such problem has arisen. What gives?

Start Firefox in 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).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
