How can I delete the search engines included with Firefox? What happened to Mozilla's independence?

I'm not happy that Mozilla is supplying numerous search engines with the software. I want to delete them, not just hide them.
What happened to Mozilla's independence?

Hello WA9KWS, type (or copy/paste) in address bar the next :
chrome://browser/content/search/engineManager.xul
and see '''IF that allows to delete search engines'''.
thank you

How can I get the digital booklet included with the albums I am purchasing from iTunes directly on my iPad?

How can I get the digital booklet included with the albums I am purchasing from iTunes directly on my iPad? My MacBook died about 6 months ago, so now I just have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to be able to see the Digital Booklet in my iPad when I download the album. I do not have any other computer to download the booklet to and sync to my iPad.

Apparently, you have to download the booklet to iTunes on a computer first, fiddle with the file type, then sync it as a book to your iPad. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4194 for details.

How can I remove the search engine called White smoke

I unintentionally added the white smoke toolbar. After successfully deleting the toolbar, the search engine remains. How can I take this search engine off my computer?

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
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).
You can do a search on the <b>about:config</b> page for prefs that are referring to the White smoke server/domain and reset them via the right-click context menu.

How can I remove the search engines that got added last time I upgraded on android? I have been able to remove them in the past so why not now?

I have always chosen FireFox because it has generally offered me options to work the way I want to.
I am not even remotely interested in having a whole load of redundant search engines begging me to use them whenever I type anything into the address bar of the browser.
However, some wise guy has decided that on the android version of the browser these are now essential to the correct and stable working of FireFox and so I am stuck with them. (Unless I go back to Google Chrome, which I am reluctant to do.)
Please reinstate the ability to remove this sort of clutter/spam from my favourite browser.

Thanks for the information kbrosnan. Can you please include the bugzilla ID for reference.
Thank you

How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?

When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?

Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
search bar.

In FF4 the opensearch detection does not seem to work. how can I add a search engine , that has an opensearch xml but no plugin?

if you go to a webpage with an opensearch link tag like "<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml...." FF3.x highlighted the small arrow left of the search box and you could add the search engine. this does not seem to work in FF4.
If a searchengine for example for the intranet, does not offer a plugin, just the opnesearch xml, how can one add it to the search engines in FF4?

You do not get the blue glow on the search engine icon in Firefox 4, but you should still see the "Add ... site" entry in the menu if you click the search engines icon on the Navigation Toolbar.

How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
1T Hard Drive in reg slot
16 GB Ram
Mavericks 10.9.4
iphoto 9.5.1
I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import. As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD. Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited. How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me. Thank you.

All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events. It is a start but not complete.
Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit. i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos. And empty the trash always before merging projects.
You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists. I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Hi, would any one know how can I delete the 1st city in the weather app. I can delete all other cities but not the 1st one. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Not sure why you can't delete it. I was able to delete all of them including the first one in the same way -- sliding to the left in the list and then tapping Delete. I didn't encounter any difference on the first one.

How can I delete the home address of the contact person

Hi Experts,
I want delete the home address of the contact persons in the ERP.
Which data and where can you found it:
In Tx xd02 in the general data of customer - register "contact person" and then button "home address".
There I want delete all fields. When I looked in F1 - technical information I don't get the information in which table the data are included. I know only the structure.
I think the general data of the contact person I have to look in the table knvk.
The private and the business email address I can find in the table ADR6.
In the table knvk there is a field "address number". I know when there is a number then the contact person has a home address and when this field is empty then for this contact person isn't maintain a home address.
Could I delete this field "address number" in the table knvk? Is then the home address automatically deleted?
I don't know how can I delete this field. Can anybody tell me how can I do this? I looked in the Tx xd99 this field isn't available there.
Or does anybody know how can I delete the home address of the contact persons on another way?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Jasmin

Hi,
I am sorry, I forgot to say I don't want delete only one home address. Yes, you are right, then I could delete it manually.
But I want to delete all private addresses, so I should have a tool for mass deletion.
Does anybody know how can I do this?
Best regards, Jasmin

I utilise Entourage for my mails. When I tip a mail adress and write a wrong one, I change. When I will send again a mail to the same adress the wrong and good one appears both. How can I delete the wrong one

Question is here above but more details here under
I use Entourage as Mail sender. I don't use the adress book.
When I tip a wrong adress and make the correction, the old one stays in the memory of my computer ( apple I Mac ).
When I wish to send a new message to the same adress, the wrong one appears in the same time , and some time I don't remember wich is the good one .
To avoid that problem, how can I delete the wrong adress for future sending of mails.

Solution, use Apple Mail
I can highly recommend migrating to the Address Book. You won't have the typo'ed history in your email.
