Firefox no longer supports dictionaries in the search provider box. Please add feature

I cannot find any dictionaries that add to my search bar within firefox. I don't want to add a separate dictionary add-on. I used to be able to just m-w.com to my search provider list. The current options are really restrictive.

This Merriam-Webster search engine installed fine for me just now.

  • Firefox no longer supports your operating version and will be vulnerable to online attacks

    Hey Firefox,
    Long time user, first time writer. Lately, apropos of nothing, I've been getting a pop up stating:
    "URGENT!
    Firefox no longer supports your operating system version and will be vulnerable to online attacks.
    <a>Learn More</a>"
    And that doesn't sound like you guys. I'm using Mac OS 10.5. All my updates have been downloaded, the opening screen of this site tells me I'm up to date. Is this some kind of trick? I also have a screen shot of the occurrence, though not the url.
    Please help. Thanks guys,
    jen

    Long time user and frustrated by this... is the solution to stop using Firefox? Because I certainly can't afford to go buy a new Mac just because I'm not eligible for newer operating system upgrades. My Mac isn't even that old... Suggestions?

  • TS3938 The message "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" sounds like the end, not an interruption. Nevertheless the gaming world could use a wake up call. Is this really a solution?

    Yes Rosetta has been gone for over two years. You can always search here for how Michael Lax's instructions on how to run SL Server in a virtul environment, but I don't think it is too kind to gamers.
    Advice? Buy an old Mac that runs PPC software.

  • I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

    The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

  • Irony: Why can't Safari render the Search Forum box on this page correctly?

    I've tried loading the Apple Discussions page on several different Macs, and the Search Forum box is never rendered correctly. It looks like there is a search box inside a box, and looks ugly.
    It looks more normal on Firefox.

    HI,
    Despite the aesthetics, it has no adverse effect on search results. The forum is supported by Jive software, not Apple.

    It may have no adverse effect on the search results, but it gives a poor impression and ultimately reflects badly on Apple and their Safari web browser... especially when other web browsers manage to render the page perfectly well.
    That the forum is powered by 3rd-party software is hardly mitigation and, if anything, only reinforces the irony mentioned by the original poster.

  • The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

    The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
    I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
    It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

    This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
    The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

  • My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. Before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will it remain locked?

    My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. However, before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will the phone remain locked?

    Thanks, James. Sadly, I had not upgraded to iOS 7 as I only had an iphone 4 and those I knew with the 4 who upgraded had major issues with battery life, so I decided not to upgrade. However, I know the phone was locked because the new "owner" called and hung up on me while calling the number I listed in the "This phone is stolen message" set by the cloud. Are you saying that my phone will remain locked if they don't know how to break into it? Or are you saying that it will no longer stay locked once I turned off service to the phone?

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.9.4 and Safari 'is no longer supported' Also get the error when trying to run the App Store, ' PowerPC applications are no longer supported. This is on a MAC Book Air, purchased in late 2013.

    Safari and the App store icons are both deactivated. I also cannot a software update check, as it gives the 'PowerPC applications are no longer supported error'
    Very frustrating, cannot do anything with this laptop now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
    Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?

    In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
    But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
    I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
    I use the Google Now Launcher.

  • Control+E no longer takes you to the search engine bar :(. otherwise #4 is great!!

    In the past, we could use control+E to activate the search engine toolbar. Do you plan to bring that back?

    You can bring it back by using the Change Search Shortcut add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/change-search-shortcut/

  • I've heard that newer versions of Firefox no longer support RoboForm - is this true?

    RoboForm toolbar is essential to me but friends have told me that when they updated previous versions of Firefox, they lost that capability. I don't want to chance it if they are correct.

    Mozilla has blocklisted the 7.6.1 and earlier due to being a top crasher. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/i45
    It is Roboform the supports Firefox, not Firefox supporting Roboform.
    Roboform has supported Firefox 9 for several versions now. http://www.roboform.com/support/news

  • How can I change the search provider?

    Hello, I bought a Dell Inspiron 3646 computer and it uses Windows 8.1 as it's operating system. I would like to know how I can change my search provider from Yahoo to Google? I clicked o the arrow inside of the search box where it lists all the different search providers and checked Google but it"s still using Yahoo? Can anyone tell me how I change it to Google? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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

  • How do I add a search engine of my own choice (i.e one which is not available among the "Manage Search Engines" add-ons) to the Search Engine Box dropdown?

    I'm running Firefox 6 on Windows XP

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.
    You may note there are some changes coming up with Firefox's searches. In Fx23 whatever you set in the search bar is also used for other searches, so you may get unexpected videos showing up from the address bar.
    Further in the future, probably Fx25 the navigation and search bar are being combined. Then there is talk of a new concept of search tabs.
    Computer technology always changes. Moore's law gives ever more computing power but someone always finds a new feature or facility that becomes a must have essential and eats up all the power.

  • Why is does the search query box collapse in  Acrobat CS4

    In the last few weeks or so, when  I try searching for text in a pdf document in Acrobat CS4  the usual search query box that is supposed to pop up is "collapsed" - see the attached diagram. (In css language it looks like a collpased dv tag) There is no place to enter text and a strange drop shadow effect emerges? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have any suggestions about how to resolve it?
    Thanks
    John

    OK I solved my own problem by removing the acrobat preference file and restarting Acrobat. I should have thought of a corrupt preference file before I asked
