Google searching has changed

Since updated to Firefox 6 this morning, when I start to enter a search in the Google main screen (my home page), instead of staying on that page, and allowing me to choose "I'm feeling lucky", it immediately moves to a small grey version of Google search at the top of the screen. I don't like it!!! How can I get it to remain on the normal Google search screen.

I solved my own problem. At the top of the browser page on the right, next to the address bar there is a search bar and you can choose which search engine you want to use and I found mine was not set to Google so I changed it back. Now when I highlight text and right click it asks if I want to "search with Google". I guess if anyone else has this problem there is a solution.
I uploaded a screenshot of what I was trying to do..

Searching has changed

Hi everyone,
I have noticed a change in the way my itunes searches when I type in the search bar. I keep it in grid view when listening to music and whenever I typed into the search bar it would change to album view so I could see all the results.
However now it stays in grid view and it is really frustrating to have to click on each album looking for a song especially if the songs part of a compilation.
I noticed the change after downloading the 10.2 update however I'm pretty sure it wasn't effected until the day after.
Please Help
Thanks

Google search entries change after entry, etc.

This may be hard to explain because there are so many things that happen when using the Google search engine page.
It is a recent problem, after upgrading to the most recent version (4.0). It did not happen before the upgrade.
Here goes:
* For example, I entered "singer private parties Maryland" in the search box. It changed the entry to "singer prince" which I did not enter.
* Another example: I will return to a Google search page where I previously entered some search information but now want to search for something else. I erase the previous information and then begin to enter the new information. All of a sudden part or all o f the previous information I deleted reappear along with the new information intertwined.
Or, once I enter teh new information and do a search it gives me the search results of the previous (and now unwanted) search.

works for me. I suggest you try clearing your browser cache and any cookies relating to that site.

Google search, how change country?

When I type anything to search using google as search engine in my iPad it always goes to google.ca. How can I change this for google.com or any other country?

I've changed my region format as stated above, closed safari reset history and cookies even turned off iCloud sync for safari yet when I do a google search by clicking google.com it defaults to google.com.hk I'm not currently in Hong Kong but do live there, it appears in Chinese. I just can't seem to get it away from Hong Kong, I'm seriously considering buying an ipad in the US.
Is it connected to my apple account country which is obviously HK?

The Firefox sign is no longer at the top of my page and mozilla search has changed to google and I can not find how to get it back.

I was talking about how much I liked the Mozilla search with friends and when I looked at my home page the search engine had changed to Google. Also, when looking at all the instructions that referred to the Firefox box, I did not see it and I do not ever remember seeing the Firefox box at the top of the page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
You see the orange Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden
*In current Firefox versions it is possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to make the (orange) Firefox button appear.
*Tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to bring up the menu bar temporarily if you need to access a menu on it.
*Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or empty space on the tab bar to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Have you disabled your firewall/internet security/pop-up blockers.. any of the various softwares that keep you from doing anything?
Are you trying to download the itunes software or songs from the itunes music store? If you are trying to download the software, the url is:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If your browser can't find it you probably have some software installed on your computer blocking the site. or a virus...

Home Page - the search engine on my Firefox start page used to be google and has now changes to Ask . How to I get google back

I suspect some toolbar has changed the search engine on my home page which is the standard Mozilla Firefox start Page. It used to be google but now is Ask. I want to change it back to Google.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for ask.com via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all ask.com related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

Firefox, or probably some add-on, has changed what I see when I open a new tab; When I open one, there is a google search that is unwanted there!

That's pretty much it. The 'new tab page' now also shows a search in Google, even though I never wanted it too! It is unsightly and doesn't help me a bit. If you can help, I would be grateful. Note: I will be gone the next six weeks (without my computer), so take your time in answering. Thank you ahead of time.

Firefox Changed the New tab style with Tabs & Google Search.
If you don't like, make it as a classic blank
*Top Right Corner > Settings > Choose [x] Classic
or
Type '''about:config''' in URL and search for
*'''browser.newtab.url''' and change the value to "mozilla.org"

Why has my google seach window changed to Chambers dictionary which only searches itself?

Since upgrading [or was it really downgrading?] I now have my google search window, top right, replaced by a Chambers Dictionary search, which just takes me to the dictionary! What the hell is going on and how can I get rid of this nonsense and go back to searching the web?

New problem, Lycos Mail is my home page. When I open a new window I usually get Google search, which is what I want. Now, somehow when I open a new window I get Yahoo search. How do I change it back to Google? Thank you, Randy

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

How Do I Change Google Search Results in Safari 3.1?

I travel a lot. Currently I'm in India. When I was using Safari 3.0, the Google Search Bar search results were always from google.com. Now that I've upgraded to 3.1, the search results are from google.co.in.
How do I get the search bar to give me .com results again?

Unless they've changed it in the past year, the auto-complete on Inquisitor was a deal-breaker. It kept on completing words that I didn't want to type.
Inquisitor has changed a lot over the past year. I used to use AcidSearch. This has it beat hands down.
Unless directed otherwise, I believe Google adapts the search function to your location based on the IP. Hence, the "Indian search".
Back to Inquisitor, one picture is worth a thousand words.

I put dom storage on "false" and now I can't do a Google search. A few days ago I could search Google with dom on false. What changed?

I customized the Firefox using 'about:config' and all the other settings work well with Google search - for example geo_enabled which I set to false.
The one setting that has suddenly proved problematic is dom_storage. I used it in false mode successfully for months when searching on Google, now the setting has resulted in an inability to search on Google. The Google page with search bar comes up as usual when I open the browser, but with dom storage set to "false" I can't search anything - the Google search bar page just remains static.

Users who disable DOM storage in IE8 and IE9 are reporting the same problem on Google's web search forum. For that reason, the requirement to allow DOM storage sounds like a change in Google's code rather than a browser-specific issue.
One Firefox-specific issue is the cookie connection: Firefox appears to use cookie permissions to block DOM storage on a site-by-site basis. So if you block cookies for google.com, the DOM storage problem will kick in.
