How can i get google instead yahoo using firefox 4

every since i updated to ff4 when i search for something it uses
yahoo instead google how can i change it back and the refresh
button does not work any more

On this computer, it seems impossible to set Google as the default search engine. If I open a new tab and type in a search it always brings up this damn skinny yahoo page that says 'AVG' in the top left corner. The URL says:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=yhs-avg-chrome&type=yahoo_avg_hs2-tb-web_chrome_us&p=Some%20search
Even though I've changed the Keyword.URL in about:config and used Manage Search Engines to delete all other engines except for Google, it is still using Yahoo!
WTF? Is it hard coded somewhere?
[edit]I've uninstalled all Yahoo crap from this XP computer and it still does it! ARG!!!

  • How can I get a TV online using Firefox

    all videos and TV- channels like zdf.de or ard.de, can not be heard continuously. i have to wait till fill puffer. That is the reason , why i cannot enjoy them. Is it Firefox setting or my laptop setting . I do not know.

    maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - first please make sure that your firewall or security software isn't blocking or sandboxing the plugin-container.exe or flashplayerplugin*:exe process.
    you could also try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

  • How do i get Google and yahoo search engines to stay on Top Sites?

    How can I get Google and Yahoo search engines to stay on "Top Sites"?

    You pin the site to the top sites tiles
    1. Hover your cursor over the site on top sites you want
    2. Wait for the two buttons to show up in the top left corner
    3. Tap the one with the pin so it highlights in blue

    How can I get google groups mail to appear in the Mail application on my iPhone 5?

    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).

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

  • Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?

    Hi
    After compilation of a java program, it creates a class file.
    After getting class file suppose class file has been deleted.
    Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?
    Thanks in advance.

    get a decompiler and run your class file through it--I'll assume you want the source code back and that you are not trying to recover a missing class file by attempting to use the class file that is missing--if it's missing, then I've not a clue on how to get it back by using what is already missing.
    BTW: many of your compilers have source control--if it does, just restore your missing file.

  • How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services= gui

    Hi Experts,
    How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
    Thanks
    Basu

    Hi,
    You can use the FM - GUI_DOWNLOAD to specify the headers. It can be done in the following manner -
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head, "Structure for header
                 h(10) TYPE c,
                 END OF ty_head.
    DATA: it_head  TYPE TABLE OF ty_head WITH HEADER LINE.
    "Adding header details
    it_head-h = 'Field1'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field2'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field3'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field4'.
    APPEND it_head.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                        = p_file
       filetype                        = 'ASC'
       write_field_separator           = 'X'
       header                          = '00'  "<= note this
      TABLES
        data_tab                        = it_tab
       fieldnames                      = it_head[] "<= Pass your header table here
    EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS                          = 1.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

    Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
    I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?

  • How can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    how can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    Yo Chris. I've been following your answers to different threads and quite frankly, you're very keen in answering everybody regarding this stupidity that Apple has brought upon its customers. Kudos to you. But the problem is, most of the time, in some devices, your solution doesn't work because the NONE option is not there. The same goes for me.
    Meanwhile, I found a temporary workaround for the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    Register a free Apple ID from the iCloud Settings.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Account>Tap Payment Information on the Storage Plan Category.
    Fill in the other boxes and choose "None" on Credit Card Information.
    That's it! Hope I helped those who still couldn't find the "None" Option.
    Must be running IOS 5.0.1 though, else there would be no iCloud.
