How delete the Google integration in Firefox (about:config)

If I type in about:config the name Google a lot of lines are showing. Firefox has a agreement with Google. I like Firefox (from the beginning, Phoenix), but without Google.
The Google organisation is lying ('privacy police') for years and spying (cooperation with US-intelligences, 'Patriot Act'), not to forget the tracking on the internet. Because all this there also is a worldwide block started against the Googles behaviour and I even don't like them.
So as Firefox-user I have a free choice to choose which company I trust myself. There must be a way that there is no integration of advertising companies in the open source software of Mozilla Firefox. Maybe more FF-users have the same opinion, but maybe they fell asleep in the life they live, because I don't hear them. I'm bedridden (2006), disabled and have less energy to react at the world outside my bed; sometimes itś going.... :-).
In my opinion belong some add-ons with Google integration on the blacklist of add-ons, because these developers have to ask theirselfs the question "Why do I use a company as Google in 'open source' software what I made myself for the Mozilla Firefox organisation "?
So my question is: How get I Google from the Firefox software, out of the 'about:config.
I've tried it myself together with an add-on with Google integration, but Firefox got a crash. On places where Google was written I choose for DuckDuckGo and where the https number was written I choose for 0 or Zero. With zero Firefox can't live so who can help to clean the whole 'about:config' from the name Google. Yahoo and DuckDuckGo is okay from me.
Sorry for my bad Englisch language, it's not my language of birth, I'm a Dutchman of 58-years.
Oh befor I close,
Pretty aand healthy New Year!

So not everything that is in about:config that references Google means you are using Google as your search engine. Alot of them have to do with the Google Safebrowsing malware protection, which simply uses a list (put together by google, Mozilla, stopbadware.org, and others) to warn users if they visit a potentially dangerous site on that list. It doesn't use any private information. You can't remove it from Firefox, nor would you want to.
If you want to change the default search engine, read [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]]

When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

I just installed Firefox 4 today. When I try to change the keyword.url settings in about:config to do a "I'm Felling Lucky" Google search, it just resets to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties whenever I restart Firefox.

I am looking for the google toolbar for Firefox 8.0 because the translation it had was the best. Nothing matches it. Can anyone help me find it?

I'm using Firefox 8.0.1 with Windows 7
Ever since I updated Mozilla to this newer version, I have been having problems with translation options. I have tried many other translation plugins and they're just not as good (so please don't suggest them).
I use sites in various languages and write in different languages too. What's great about this translator was that you could hover over a word and in an instant it automatically detected the language and translated the word (or highlighted text). No clicks, no language selections, no shortkeys. I need something similar.

The Google Toolbar for Firefox was discontinued by Google last summer.

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

I seem to be stuck in a loop re-installing the google toolbar for firefox, since i endup at the "agree and install" page every time i reestart firefox

On my netbook, I have used the Google Toolbar for Firefox, with its handy Bookmarks access, for several years, but it appears to have become "invisible" when I open Firefox. I tried reinstalling it, and Firefox seems to perform the download, but when I restart Firefox to complete the download, itr opens on the "Start the Download" page, and the toolbar is still nowhere in sight. What am I doing wrong?

I agree with whereitis above, I hate it when options are removed (ex: the Bookmarks side panel (Ctrl-B) button missing) etc.. Firefox's major BOLD one-liner is: CUSTIMAZATION. Now to regain this CUSTIMAZATION freedom, Firefox suggest to solve this by installing the ADDON "Classic Theme Restorer". I don't want to install any ADDON to customize Firefox! I went with Firefox because it was CUSTOMIZABLE, and that is the only reason why I went with this web browser! Now, Firefox is asking me to add an ADDON to CUSTOMIZE it. What is this?!

After updating to 4.0 stable today, FF reports it is in offline mode and can't open pages! I've checked the work offline boolean in about:config, it is set to false as it should be. !?!?

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the about:config page or via extensions.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why is there no "xpinstall.enabled" listing in my Firefox "about.config"

I am having a problem installing an add-on for Firefox on my XP desktop: When I attempt to install Evernote Web Clipper 5.9.1, I get the error: "There was an error installing Evernote Web Clipper - Try Again".
I investigated on the Firefox Help site and found an instruction (copied below) to look in the Firefox "about.config" file to see if the "xpinstall.enabled" listing was "true" or "false". Supposedly, if the listing is "false" it should be changed to "true" to permit installation of add-ons.
Software installation disabled
It is possible to disable all installation of software, including add-ons, through Firefox. To check to see if software installation has been disabled:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
In the Search textbox, enter xpinstall.enabled.
The value of xpinstall.enabled should be set to true. If this value is currently set to false, then software installation is disabled.
To set the value to true, right-click the property name, and select Reset.
Try to re-install the extension.
There is no "xpinstall.enabled" listing in my version of "about.config".
I have:
xpinstall.whitelist.add user set string
xpinstall.whitelist.add.180 user set string
xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 user set string
The spaces for "value" on all three listings are blank (empty)
What to do?

In some cases, when a preference is set to its default value, it is not displayed in about:config.
What method of installation are you using?
* Add to Firefox button here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
* Downloaded that file, then dragged it to an open Firefox tab
* Trying to install from another website

How to use google toolbar in firefox 5? Can I use the older version with google toolbar or I have to delete firefox from my computer using IE etc?

I want to use google toolbar in firefox 5, but it does not support it.

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues - once it's installed, you can just re-enable Google toolbar.

I changed the "keyword url" setting in about:config to allow it to be used as a google search box, but when I exit and restart firefox it reverts to its previous setting.

chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties
This is the URL that is in "keyword:URL" in about:config in my Firefox 4. I attempted to change it to http://www.google.ie/search?q= so as to use the address bar as a search bar. It works fine while Firefox remains open, but when I exit and come back later to open Firefox and use the address bar for search items I find that it has reverted to the default setting.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

When I try to access Google Groups or Google Finance, I log in and get the message "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on". I ensured that cookies were tunr==rned (via tools menu), then I deleted the google cookies, I reboo

When I try to sing into Google Groups or Google Finance, I get the message "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on". I have gone through all the troubleshooting information and still cannot get into the function. I downloaded the Maxthon browser to see if I could access Google groups and finace and I was able to sign in. This leads me to suspect there is an issue with FireFox. This problem just started this past Monday. Prior to this there were no issues.
