How can I change my address bar so it doesn't give me search options?

Recently, I installed a toolbar called Freecorder because I needed to record the audio for something on the internet. Installing this thing also installed some search engine and it changed the default search to something else. I changed it back in about:config, but now when I go to my address bar, I can no longer see most of my saved URLs. I have to click several times to get the drop down box, and when I do, it looks like this: http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o698/admiralhip/BRlwXCLCYAEAQjk_zps565a01cd.png
The icons for different websites are next to those weird URLs, and if I click on one it will bring me to the site that the icon is for. I was hoping that someone could tell me what to do to fix this without completely uninstalling firefox or resetting everything to factory default. Thanks.

You may need to reset/modify some prefs that have been changed.
You can do a search in the <b>about:config</b> page.<br />
See also the setting in Options > Privacy for the location bar.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

    I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

    You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

  • How can I erase My hard drive. Disk utility only gives me the option of erase free space. I have 27in iMac with Lion and 12 gb ram.

    How can I erase my hard drive? Disk utility only gives me the option to erase free space.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Drive Preparation for Lion
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU to return to the main menu.
    5. Select Reinstall Lion then click on the Continue button. You need an active network connection in order to download the Lion software.

  • How can I change the address included. In my apple ID without needing credit card details?

    I incorrectly entered my address information when creating me apple ID. I went to change it in my settings but it requires me to enter credit card information, which I do not have. So how ca I change the address?

    iTunes Store - click 'Account' in the list at right and log in. Then click 'edit' next to your address. This will take you to Payment Details. You should be able to edit the address there without changing the credit card - is this where you are having a problem?
    Alternatively you can go to http://appleid.apple.com - click 'Manage Your Apple ID' and log in with the ID in question. Click 'Addresses' in the list at left and you can edit the address.

  • Photo album: I would like to order this album but has to be sent to my address in Switzerland. How can I change the address?

    How can I change the delivery address from the USA to Switzerland?

    Don't belive you can do that but try changing the Print Produces Store from the USA to Switzerland in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and see if the order will go thru.  However, I believe you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address.  It's worth it a try.

  • How can I change email address RIM sends mail to?

    I have two emails, one that's strictly friends and family, and one for everything else. A while back I changed the "everything else" address to gmail. Although I've never submitted my personal address to RIM (other than setting up that email on my phone), they've begun spamming my personal mail with daily "notifications." I don't mind getting the mail, but 1. I don't want it coming to my personal address, and 2. I find it very disturbing that RIM harvested my personal account info to use at their convenience. I see in the emails I receive I can "unsubscribe," although they'll still send me mail they deem important. I don't want that, I want to give them my new everything address, so they'll stay out of my personal acct. I have thoroughly searched their site, but see no way to submit this new address, or to set up my acct preferences for my interaction with RIM. Please tell me how to change my address with RIM, or to at least contact them, not about my phone, but about their service (there doesn't appear to be any such option among the "Contact Us" selections they offer). Thanks very much!

    Notifications of what?
    I promise you, from all I've seen, you would have had to check a box in something stating you want to receive updates, etc., from BlackBerry. They certainly haven't "harvested" your email address from simply being loaded to your BlackBerry.
    You need to unsuscribe from the current emails you're getting. Even if you don't want to.
    You probably downloaded an OS or file update or Desktop Software somewhere that you clicked to agree to receive updates.

  • How do I change the address bar search provider in FF4

    I installed a program which made Yahoo my default search engine. I deleted it under manage search engines and chose Google there, but Yahoo is still my default search engine in the address bar even though I tried going to about:config-typing in keyword URL - right clicking on modify- and changing to Google.
    If I type a search word in the address bar Yahoo search results come up. I would rather use the get lucky feature of Google. How to I get rid of Yahoo as the ADDRESS BAR default search engine. I looked in add-ons, plug-ins, extensions and no sighn of Yahoo to delete. Help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How do you change the address bar to a larger font?

    All font in the address bar and various windows seem much smaller. I went in to general preferences and chaged some font details, but it doesn't seem to affect the address bar. Is there any way to change the size?

    When you go to a website and enter a username and password that haven't been saved, Firefox will ask if you want them remembered. This question appears in an arrow panel connected to the key icon on the address bar.
    If you click on other things, or switch tabs, then the question will disappear. But as long as you remain on the same web page, the key icon will remain visible so you can bring it up again manually.

  • How can I get the address bar to just display URLs?

    With the newest update to Firefox when I type something in the address bar I get more search suggestions than URL suggestions. I only want URL suggestions and want to turn the search off completely. I've tried turning off the "keyword:enable" on the back end of Firefox and it still does not work. Is there a way to go back to just seeing URL's in the address bar?

    I've seen a similar thing in another user's screen shot, but I can't seem to trigger it on my own Firefox.
    Are you seeing search suggestions for possibly matching words/phrases pulled in real time from your preferred search engine (like the drop-down on the search bar), or history entries reflecting terms you previously searched for?
    Do you use any extensions that modify how the address bar works?
