How do I delete Firefox search engines?

I love Firefox but when I updated it to the current version (1.5.0.6) it seems to have installed some search engines that I don't want listed but I can't figure out how to delete a couple of them. I am running 10.4.7 on my G4 Mac. It's probably something simple.... Judy

Hi Judy,
There's an extension you can install that allows removal of the search engine plugins but I'm not sure it's compatible with 1.5.0.6. If it's not, check back later by clicking on the search box and choosing Add Engines. The link to the extension is at the bottom of the page.

  • 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

  • Under manage search engines, i would delete "Ask" search engine, but it keep populating when I close and re-open firefox.

    After deleting "Ask" search engine it would repopulate when firefox is closed and reopened. I also tried to move the order of the search engines but "Ask" is always set to the primary search engine.

    Change the search plugin in the search bar to something else and you can search with that.

    dear, there.

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • 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 do you change the search engine used in the address bar?

    I use the address bar to search, instead of the actual search bar field. Why? It's easier. Or, it used to be. It used to use Google. Now it's using Yahoo!. This is unacceptable. Haha. How do I change which search engine is used in the ADDRESS bar?

    had this problem after accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar along with an adobe product. Firstly, tried to remove it control panel in add/remove programmes but it refused to uninstal. Since then was told by technicians of my ip to use Revo uninstaller the free ed. Next step was go to tools then options. On the general tab, at the bottom you will find manage-add-ons. under search provider do not want. f yahoo is still there disable it.
    Also go to internet options in control panel and set up there too. Be sure to find and tick the option that other search engines cannot change yours. Be sure to set the appropriate home page.

  • How do I change the search engine in Safari?

    Hi y'all,
    How do I change the search engine used in the "search" slot in the menu bar? I still want it to use google, but would like to change it to the danish version.
    Kind regards
    -z

    Hi
    Easiest way to change the search is to install 3rd party freeware Inquisitor. After installing it, restart Safari. Go to Safari Preferences. Click on the arrow at the far end of the menu panel. You'll see an hour-glass icon. Click on it to open the Inquisitor panel. Click on the search engine drop-down menu and select your preferred search engine.

  • I don't want Yahoo as my Firefox search engine; I want Google!! How do I get Yahoo out of my computer cause I can't find it in the control panel. It's like Yahoo's a Virus!!! AAAHHH

    Yahoo infiltrated my computer by downloading a free program that i realized was no good. removed the program since, however yahoo is still here and replaced my google search engine on firefox. I can't find it on add/remove programs on my PC and it's driving me nuts. I now have to use google chrome. I miss my google firefox I've removed Firefox and re-downloaded it and it doesn't help. please help me

    I just discovered a solution! Go to the upper right hand corner in Firefox where the search bar is. Click on the icon and you'll get a drop-down menu. Go to "manage search engines". You can then delete all the no-good ones, like Bing and Yahoo.
