Firefox v.34.0.5 redirects search results to yahoo

was fixed in previous release, when I updated a few days ago, the problem reappeared

If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.
In the address bar, type '''about:preferences#search<enter>'''
If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

Firefox won't load google image search results

Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
I have tried:
Both logged in and out of google account,
All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
Running firefox in safemode,
Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
Clearing the cache and cookies,
Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
Restarting both my PC and router.
It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How to redirect search results to a webapp detail page

Hello there, I am in the process of creating an interconnected series of webapps and I am trying to get the list view of one webapp to display on the detail view of another webapp. This is a bit difficult due to the fact that the webapps are dynamic and users will be submitting them.
Here is essentially what I am trying to do:
On the list view of webapp#1 I have a hidden form, that when submitted should display the search results of webapp#2 on the detail page of webapp#1. In order for this to work I have redirected my search form results as such:
As you can see I have replaced the redirect URL with that of the detail view of webapp#1. This method of redirect has failed to work, when the search is performed I am redirected to a 'page not found' page. I have discussed it with BC Support and they say that it cannot be done in this way. If there is anyone out there who has an idea of how to go about this, I would be grateful. Unfortunately the best way to get my desired results is to submit a search for the relevant itemid that displays a list of the correct webapp items. I also cannot create an inline search for the results directly on the detail page of webapp#1 because I don't want the page to reload. If you know of a way to achieve what I am trying to do I would be grateful.
Thank you for any and all help!

Hi Prakash,
SharePoint indexes each list item with the display form of the items in the lists.
Although the web part is added to the page, the items in the web part are still be indexed from the original list. That is because the web part is rendering the items from the database where the original list stores.
So per my knowledge, we can only get the list items with the display form in the search results.
Best regards.
Thanks

Does anybody know why this is? I have done nothing to change Firefox, it just started happening.

Hi, i had the same problem, and I also use Bullguard, I contacted them, just received answer, (in about 20 min). It is incompatibility of FF4 and bullguard (they know about it, and fix will be released soon), and probably most of the other antiviruses, as I see this is very popular problem. The solution though is very simple : in firefox disable addon "Bullguard Safe Browsing". It works. Or alternatively open bullguard go : antivirus - settings - safe browsing (unchek that). For those not using bullguard i would recommend to check their addons in FF and if there is any from your antivirus try to disable it for now.

Forum search results have no titles?

I searched this forum and the search results have no titles, which means I can't click on them to see the posts.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 7, and sometimes search results have a clickable title/link to the post. But sometimes the results only have the author name, forum and date (not very helpful).
For example, searching for: page imposition CS5
Results show only name, forum, and date.
But if I search for: page imposition
I get post titles that I can click on.

Set default search engine to yahoo UK?

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to set the default search results to Yahoo UK (rather than Yahoo US)?
Google does this automatically, I'm guessing based on IP address or the iPads international region setting - it appears yahoo don't do that.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

When i click on a search result from google, i am automatically redirected to another website everytime

This just started recently, since installing firefox 4. Now whenever I search on google or other search engines, when I click on a result, I am automatically redirected to another search site. Any ideas?

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Is it possible to have a Youtube or Google search result appear in Firefox history without knowing about it?

I recently found some Google and Youtube search results on my boyfriend's computer in Firefox that were "questionable" and when I asked him about them, he adamantly denied knowing what they were and said he recently had some viruses on his computer and they could have put these results on there. I don't know if this is possible or not. The only thing similar to this I've heard is viruses redirecting you to a certain site, but not to specific google and youtube results, and if that did happen, he would have to see them, right? I think it's version 11.0. HELP!!

It is possible that you have a virus that was redirecting, but if there are Google searches, and Youtube searches, it is most likely that ''someone'' did those searches.
You can try running these tools to check for infections: [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
[http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
So, I can't say for certain your boyfriend did these, but it is most likely that "somebody", not "something" did them.

When I type a web address into the main bar, it takes me to search results rather than to the website as in Firefox 3. What can I do here?

As stated above, when I would enter a web address in the main bar at the top of Firefox, the browser would go directly to that website (e.g., nytimes, or pcmag, etc...).
Now it goes to a search results page, where I have to click on NY Times, or PC Mag, to get to the website. It is a two-step process instead of one!

hello, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false''' in order to display the full url with the http://-prefix in the address bar...

Trying to search on Google, or to access a search result, often crashes my Firefox. This has gone on for months. When will you fix it?

The report tab says my OS is Windows NT, but it's actually XP Home. (Yes, that's how old my computer is -- and that's why I'm looking for a solution other than just trying to see how updated a version of Firefox the computer can handle.)
The problem doesn't happen every time I try to search Google (or every time I succeed in getting to a page of search results and try accessing one of them). But it happens quite a lot, and often multiple times in succession. And when I try to use Crash Reporter to tell you, I get one of two responses:
(1) the standard autobot-reply suggesting an upgrade and this path; or, more often,
(2) nothing.
I don't want to abandon you -- and it would be hard to replace the computer at the moment. So what (to coin a phrase) can Mozilla do for me?
[UPDATE: The troubleshooter program won't install -- says it's not compatible with my old version of Firefox (3.6.20, says the About option in the Help menu). And the "show details" link at the bottom of this page won't reveal your "educated guesses about [my] current browser and operating system", so I can't do more to correct them -- sorry.]

Hmm . . . I think maybe the CPU is okay, but I would appreciate any time and effort you folks could spare to confirm my work.
Wikipedia lists a "3300+" model twice in its article on Sempron processors. One is a "Socket A (Socket 462)" model named Barton and with a listed 130ns speed. The other is a "Socket 754" model named Palermo with a listed 90ns speed. The latter sounded familiar, but my left hand has worn off anything readable from the sticker next to the "mouse area" so I couldn't confirm it that way.
Checking the properties of the CPU (through my hardware configuration) revealed an interesting ID string which suggested my CPU was "family 15 model 44". And re-searching for that (via Yahoo, since I couldn't risk another Google crash) brought me to a late-2009 AMD Processors forum entry where some other expert answered a question by identifying that family and model as "AMD Sempron64 socket 754, e.g Sempron 2600+, Sempron 2800+, including all latest core stepping versions of desktop model Semprons, socket 754."
If that's correct, and I've followed along the road properly, then my CPU is also in that family, and in that socket -- which would mean it '''was''' one of the processors built to work with SSE2. And that, in turn, would mean it should be able to run the v21 of Firefox you mention -- right?
I don't know how much slower or faster v21 may be -- and I won't want to dump even the Mozilla-abandoned v3.6.20 until I see what if any side-effects there may be. But maybe there's an end in sight.
(If you have any hints for me on this score, I would appreciate them. Likewise if you have any idea why it took months of Reporting Crashes before I got any response at all, even from the autobot. But most of all, I would greatly appreciate your help in getting over what may be the final obstacle to finding out if it's possible for me and my old PC to run v21 . . . and in finding out what choices I have if that '''''doesn't''''' work.)

I used to have AVG free antivirus software on my computer. I uninstalled it, but every time I open Firefox and do a search, it comes up with AVG Secure Search results. I have tried the about:config stuff from the forums, but it is to no avail.

Had AVG free version. After Firefox updated to the newest version, AVG Secure Search results are the default. I have researched the issue for the past 3 days and have tried every option available on forums, etc. Nothing seems to work. This is very annoying and I'm about ready to switch to google chrome.

I ended up finding a solution.....went to Firefox tab on top left of browser screen. Went to help, restart with add-ons disabled. This takes you to the Firefox Safe Mode text box. Select "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults. This seems to have worked, as there is no longer an AVG Secure Search directed screen. Also, I installed Avast. Have had it on my tower PC and another laptop for 2 years with no issue. Screw AVG!!!

I notice I have an add on called search results optimizator 8.17, I do not remember deliberately installing this add on and I cannot uninstall it, I have disabled it as it redirected me to a search site when I logged on to Photobucket, I would like to kno

I have enabled the add on again to find the web page it directs me to...
http://www.landing.savetubevideo.com/
This is the page it takes me to when I try to log into Photobucket.
I did install a Youtube downloader from SaveTubeVideo but un-installed it. The Search Results Optimizator must have been installed at the same time. But it does not give you an option to remove it, only to disable it.

Hi TwoSheds,
System-installed extensions can't be uninstalled from Firefox. Instead you can find and remove this application from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
However, disabling an add-on renders it fully inert; it isn't loaded at all and can't do anything.

File Share search results not opening in Chrome or Firefox

Today I crawled a portion of our file shares without incident. Everything is looking good. Except I cannot open any file share links in Chrome or Firefox. IE works flawlessly. Is this known behavior?

File system search result link does not open on Firefox or Chrome
Summary: The
file system connector shows URLs with "file://" protocol in search results. However, Firefox and Chrome don't open such links when clicked in result page.
Cause: Firefox and Chrome doesn't open "file://" links from pages that originated from outside the local machine.
This is a design decision made by those browsers to improve security.
Workaround: In order to enable local file access for Firefox and Chrome, please follow the steps as described below.
Please note with security risks caused by enabling such access.
Firefox:
Open Firefox.
Enter about:support to the address bar.
Click Open Directory for Profile
Directory.
Create or open user.js and add the following lines:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "file:///[[PUT
SERVER NAME HERE]]";);
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
"allAccess");
Restart Firefox
