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 [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

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 do you change the address bar into showing the key symbol, when it only shows the lock symbol?

I want to save my user data to my google mail account.
The first time I typed them in, the password dialogue box appeard, but I clicked on something else so it disappeard and since then never showed again on the google mail paige. (It works perfectly normal on other paiges)
The mozilla support site said to click on the key symbol in the adress bar, but there is no key symbol only a lock symbol. On other websites both are shown but not on the google mail website.
What do I do to open the password dialogue box again? Is there another way than to click on the key symbol?
I use mozilla firefox 20.0 on windows 7.

TS3899 How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail. I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail. I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

How can i disable the address bar(nav bar) in FF portable ESR31 so that it be run in a KIOSK mode and the users will be unable to get the addressbar or see the addressbar at all.

Yes you will need a config file however: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment]

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.

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?

How do I restore the address bar at the top of my window in firefox on a mac?

My kids were messing with my computer and must have pushed something and everything disappeared. I need to know how to put an address bar (back button, refresh, ect) back up into the top of my window. Part of the problem is that my computer screen is cracked and I can't see anything in my menu easily. A command that would restore the address bar would help. Thanks.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display
**View > Toolbars > Customize
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How do I get the address bar to show the url of the site that I'm on?

In the old version of firefox, the address bar would show the url of the site I was on. When I would change tabs, the address bar would change to reflect the url of the tab. In the new version, the url of the current site will not show unless I hit the identity info button. This is really frustrating because I want the url to show up automatically, instead of showing the last thing I typed or the last site that I was on. If there is a way to fix this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

How can I stop the address bar from auto hiding

I dislike having the address bar disappear all the time. How can I prevent this.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

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.
