FireFox Search bar elements too far apart

Previously, when using the Search in FireFox for what is on the page with CTRL +F or CTRL + Gyou get the input box on the bottom left side and very close to that is the Hightlight All Match Case
Now, the Hightlight All Match Case is way far on the bottom right.
On a 23" screen, I feel like I have to type in what I want to find and then mouse for 3 miles to get to Highlight All and Match Case.
I know I can eventually learn to use my ALT + A and ALT + C but being old and with the bad habit of using:
CTRL F
type stuff
mouse to Hightlight All
CTRL F
type more stuff
mouse to Hightlight All
the new location for these is really clutzy.
Is there a way to adjust where the Hightlight All and Match Case is at or will I be forever mousing to use the search in my old fashioned way that I have done for years?

Firefox search bar is now right-aligned, how can I fix this?

My toddler randomly played with my keyboard and now text in the Firefox search bar is right-aligned. Very strange. How can I fix this?

You can flip the bidi text direction from right-to-left to left-to-right with "Shift+Ctrl+X".

Updated FireFox search bar plugin

Hello all,
I've updated my FireFox search bar plugin so it searches the new forum.
Anybody interested can install it from my FireFox search bar page.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

I'm not sure to tell you the truth. My guess would be something to do with the restricted user rights.
The simple sollution is to manually install the search. Under your FireFox directory, there should be a directory named \searchplugins. Unzip both of the files in the attached zip file into the \searchplugins directory, and then restart FireFox. One of the files is the icon that will show up in the search box, the other is the source for the plugin.
Let me know how it goes.

Configuring Firefox search bar

Firefox 14.0.1 on Windows XP.
The Firefox search bar is one of the most useful features; and I use it dozens, if not hundreds of times every day. Mainly on Google, and quite a few times on Amazon.
Now recently all Google results are redirected to google.co.jp; with mainly Japanese results. Even if I go to the google,com wesite, it redirects me to google.co.jp
Now I know that I can use http://www.google.com/ncr to prevent redirection.
The question is: how can I modify the Firefox search bar to not redirect me?
Thanks for any help with this!

No the redirection is done entirely on the Google servers and only a valid cookie (or the /ncr switch) will prevent Google from doing that if you visit the google.com site.

Detail lines are too far apart

I have an Oracle Report where the detail lines are too far apart. There is way too much white space between the lines. How do I decrease the line height? The detail line is very complex, with fields which are shown/not shown at different times.
Thanks, Wayne

Hi,
try to set the vertically property of the appropriate frame to variable (so that the frame can shrink) and have a look at the first item inside the repeating frame. The difference between this item and the repeating frame is used for every line.

A Firefox search bar virus has taken hold of my system and wont let go! Is there any way I can avoid uninstalling Firefox every day to get rid of this?

The situation: Whenever I go to use the address bar or the small search toolbar (which is set to google) in my window, the search engine used instead is "search.searchcompletion.com", which returns very shitty search results and is annoying.
The things I have tried to fix this:
First, I disabled and deleted all my add-ons, changed my homepage back to google and updated my search engine to google. Tested search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Second, I downloaded a anti-virus/anti-malware program called Malwarebytes. It did good, catching 28 virus's in various files, quarantining them, and deleting them. I tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Third, I read about typing in "about:config" into the Firefox address bar and changing a few things, as explained <a href="http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/09/remove-startsearch-and.html">here</a>. I tested the search bar, *still broken*. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fourth, I read you can "manually delete the virus from your registery". I followed the instuctions carefully, deleting these strings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main “Start Page”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Control Panel “HomePage”. Tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, someone somewhere installed a special add on that blocked certain sites. Whatever I did it did not work, the site (search.searchcompletion.com) just lost it's formatting, but still did not let me search using google. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, I just uninstalled everything having to do with Firefox from my computer. I reinstalled it and tested the search bar and it worked!....
For 24 hours. When I turned on my computer today, the search.searchcompletion virus is back, and short of uninstalling Firefox, I do not know what to do.
I have no add-ons.
I have deleted temp internet files
I have virus protection
I have tried everything.
Help me.

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(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 filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

HOW CAN I REMOVE "ASK" SEARCH BAR AND GET BACK FIREFOX SEARCH BAR?

Firefox search bar suddenly changed to french...

Hi.
On my work arch linux desktop, the firefox google search bar has suddenly changed to French.
I'm pretty sure it is not the fault of the arch linux package but though id ask here in case anyone knew ...
Any ideas ?
Cheers

I don't know if either of these suggestions will help. These are untried by me
1. Remove the Google search engine and then add it back. Next to the the search bar's icon, there's a small down arrow. Click on it and select "Manage Search Engines..." Use the dialog box buttons to remove and then add Google back into the list.
2. Type "about:config" into the address bar. A warning may come up. If so, promise you'll be careful. Filter on "keyword.URL". The value for "keyword.URL" on my installation is:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Yes, the value ends with "&q=".
Edit to correct typo.

The entries in the Fields column are too far apart.

The Fields column on the left has the entries really far apart, so when I need to arrange the field order I have to do a lot of scrolling up and down. The arrow you click to expand or collapse the list is super magnified, though it still functions. It hasn't always been this way, but I must've done something to cause this change. How can I reverse this? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. It seemed to start after updating to 9.5.1. Adobe support will not address this question as they are not supporting this version anymore! ARGH! If anyone knows how to fix, please share!!

Cannot resize address or search bars. This is the main reason I do not use Firefox. On Mac OS 10.6.8. The search bar is so small I can't type and see what I'm typing.

I've tried all the answers given in the forums and nothing works. The hand never changes to the double ended arrow.

What worked was upgrading to the current version of FireFox. I wasn't aware that I was out of date because I don't use it as my default browser. Primarily because the search bar was too small!
It's all fixed now.

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem <br />
It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

Safari is saving every site I've been on into the search bar on my MacBook AIR OMG soooo MAD!! Help PLEASE!!!!!!

Today I went to PowerPoint and then I clicked Insert > Slides from > Other Presentation
Now a box pops up and says "Choose a File" on the title bar. Then it says Choose a file containing slides you want to insert
So now it says: search: This Mac Home Desktop Contents File Name with "this mac" and "contents" highlighted
And then in the search bar to the far right with the magnify glass I typed the phrase "nos.." by accident...then I noticed almost EVERY webpage/instragram/youtube I've ever been on comes up, some of them listed numerous times.
I see all these random youtube videos Ive watched, all these websties, and the worst peoples instagrams that Ive been stalking LMAO!! Like when I type in for example "ashley" it comes up ashley9234 (for example) instagram 6 times in a row listed, but some pages only once, all these webpages everything omg I cant sleep knowing almost every site Ive ever been to is there..and you cant click it or delete it, I just dont like to see it.
And I did click "Reset Safari" , clear history everynight before I turn off my computer, but you see that is not the problem...the problem is that why stuff Ive visited from even 7 months ago show up , and why some are listed numerous times like 6 times in a row...omg Apple...you have let me down big time. Now I can never sell my mac ever!!! So next laptop is soo gonna be Sony or something..guys please..I really really really need your help Im losing sleep over this

I am soo mad Not that I visit any bad sites but I do like fb and insta stalking sometimes ahaa and i just dont like these peoples names or kardashian blog websites showing up for myself..even though no one will ever see it ..it makes me not ok.

Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...

How can I keep my search bar on Google and NOT Aol?

After I downloaded the latest version of AIM, my Firefox search bar keeps changing to Aol search. I loathe it. Everyday I do the about:config and change it back to Google and everyday it changes back to Aol! What can i do since changing it to Google obviously doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a month ago

Hi Roxanne,
Have you scanned your computer recently for malware?
Download this tiny program called Gooredfix from here http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe
Once downloaded, close all Firefox windows.
Open the GooredFix.exe file, and in the little black box that appears, press 1 and enter.
A white window will pop up. See if anything is found under the heading ==Suspect Goored Entries==. If so, open the GooredFix.exe file again and press 2 and enter.
Open up FireFox and see if your still having issues.
Also best to check your installed programs and uninstall anything you don't want in there. Also, do the Malwarebytes scan and virus scanning in Safe Mode if possible.
Let me know if that helps--if not we'll try something else.

How do I restore a custom item in the Search bar?

I have just bought a new comouter. One of the things I want to set up on it is the same set of options in the Firefox Search bar. In my old computer I set up the ARTFL Roget's Thesaurus as as one of the list of options for search engines. (This Thesaurus is found on http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?resource=Roget%27s ) I set this up so long ago that I cannot remember how I did it, but it has worked perfectly for years - I use it all the time.
Setting up Firefox on my new computer, it seems only to allowed registered search engines onto the list for the Search bar. How do I get my Thesaurus onto the list? How did I, way back then?
I am using Firefox 8.0 on XP on my old machine; Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7 on my new one.
Thanks for you attention.

try this excellent add- on:
