How do I disable the Bing search preview in Firefox?

How do I disable the Bing search preview feature? This feature is similar to the Google search page preview feature for which I have found remedy.

Thanks. I have that unchecked. I'm speaking of when you slide the cursor to the right of a search "hit", an arrow appears along with a bit more detailed text box of the corresponding hit. Seems like the google version was disabled in the [about:config] settings.

How do I disable the Firefox allow page display

How do I disable the Firefox allow page feature.
when I click on allow, it completely knocks me out of the website in which i have to log in again.

Uncertain of your question. If you are getting a re-direct to another page after signing in (common occurence after signing in) check the following setting:
*''Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Advanced > General (Accessibility section), '''un-check''' "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"''

How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page"

How can i disable the message "leave page / stay on page" please explain step by step if if it involved inserting java script.
Thanks

These three userscripts are along the same lines as the one link to above:
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/180752 AllowPageClose] - recently posted, appears to run a timer to watch for changes and make sure it's really dead
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121551 Disable - remove onbeforeunload]
* [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98260 Kill Sure Want To Nav Away]
None of the four scripts has any mechanism for site exceptions built into it, but you can make exceptions using Greasemonkey's user settings tab. You do that using the script's Options dialog. You can do that from the Add-ons page, User Scripts category. Either:
* Monkey toolbar button > Manage User Scripts
* Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Alt+a) > User Scripts
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > User Scripts
Then click the Options button for the relevant script. On the User Settings tab, in the Excluded Pages box, you can enter the site that you want to carve out of the script. Note that in order to match all pages on the site, you need to use the wildcard character (*) as shown in the attached screen shot.

How i can disable the 'about:newtab' page on Firefox 9 a1 (UX)?

I want to disable the 'about:newtab' page when I open a new tab, How i can do it?

That doesn't look like it's related to the subject of this thread.
BTW: Firefox 12+ versions have a browser.newtabpage.enabled pref to disable the about:newtab page. 
The default of that pref in Firefox 12 (currently Beta) is false and is true in Firefox 13 (currently Aurora).

How to return to the original search page after clicking on numerous links w/o using the back arrow

I want to return to the original search page without having to click the back arrow repeatedly to get back from where I have been searching

The Back/Forward button drop-down arrow marker was removed from Firefox.
To get the tab history drop-down list, you can:
*right-click the Back/Forward button
*HOLD down the left-click mouse button on the Back/Forward button until the list appears (about 1 second)
*Add back the drop-down marker by installing this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

How can i disable the ~3 search "guesses" in the location bar, above the suggestions from my history?

In the new version of Firefox, when I start typing something to the address bar, instead of showing suggestions from my history, it shows ~3 "popular search strings", as in Google search bar (for example if i type 'a', it shows aol, aol mail and amazon). I find this feature very irritating, is there a way I can disable the seach guesses, so I can browse in my history pages like before?
Thanks!

hello mreti88, this isn't a feature that is built into firefox - likely one of your installed addons is causing this: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

How do I disable the "Quick Search" feature?

I don't need or want the Quick Search function on Firefox. Simply deleting the Quick Search bookmarks folder doesn't get rid of it because it automatically reappears as soon as I restart Firefox. How do I disable this feature altogether?

Here's what worked for me.
Right click in the toolbar area to get the toolbar customization menu. That is, right click just to the right of the "Help" button on the Menu Bar.
You'll see:
Menu Bar,
Navigation Toolbar,
Bookmarks Toolbar
These three may or may not have check marks, but you want to click on the fourth item, below the line, "customize".
Left click the customize button and the "customize toolbar" window appears. Click and hold the "quick search" and drag it into the customize window and release. Quick search should settle itself into the customize toolbar window, patiently waiting if you ever decide you might want it again. : )

HOW DO I DISABLE THE "PREVENT THIS PAGE FROM OPENING ADDITIONAL DIALOG BOXES" OPTION ONCE SELECTED?

I clicked 'OK' thinking it reated to a specific dialog box, but now need it reversed.
Out of interest, I'm editing a weebly website design, and without the "are you sure you want to delete..." dialog, I can't actually delete anything!
Thanks!

This should work if you reload the page and bypass the cache.
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

How do I disable the reload on the back button of Firefox and have it display the cached/prior page version?

Every time I click the "back" button, Firefox reloads the previous page I was on. How do I disable the reload and have Firefox display the cached/prior page version? The whole point of going "back" is to see what we were just looking at.. I don't want a refreshed version of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running version 3.6.12.

No problem. It's not a request that's been seen much if at all to be honest. I rely on them myself.
You can always feel free to provide feedback to Apple though.

How do I disable the automatic google search in Safari

How do I disable the automatic google search mechanism in Safari 6.0.
When I type a url (or modify an existing one) if Safari doesn't understand/like what I type it does a Google (or whatever) search automatically.
If I have misspelled something, or made a typo, I want to know about it -- not have some twit program tell me what it thinks I wanted to know.
This is the same problem which exists for ISPs (and I realize that Apple is trying to grab the advertising dollars THEY get when you type in a bad URL).
I simply want to be able to turn OFF this "feature."
I also note that with this change it is no longer possible to select any search engine BUT Google. Annothe "feature" which I find utterly descriminating. There are many times when I want to see the results from different search engines -- as they all return different results, probably 90+% of the time.

There's not really a way to disable that feature, apple decided it would be easier for customers to have the address bar and google search bar all in one.

How do I get my iPhone safari browser to open oh the google search page

I feel like such an idiot. This is probably a silly question but don't know how to phrase it so I can search the community boards. Anyway, when I first got my phone and opened safari, there were several options one of which was Google. I've messed with my phone and that page has disappeared and I can't seem to find it agai. And want safari to open to the google search page. Help please

You can't set a home page on Safari on the iPhone. However, you can put a shortcut to the page you want on the Home Screen of your phone. Navigate to the page you want (i.e. the Google search page). Then, tap on the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. Select "Add to Home Screen". Then, instead of using the Safari Icon, you'll use the shortcut and it will always take you to the Google search page.
Best of luck.

How do I disable the mute microphone icon on the Facetime page so that others can hear me speak, in addition to them seeing me?

How do I disable the "mute microphone" icon on the Facetime page, so that the video recipient can not only see me,(which they can), but also to hear me as well?

When you are on a Facetime call, click on "Video" on the top menu bar. You'll see "Unmute" on the dropdown menu -- click on it. Your mic should now be unmuted. Note: You must be on a Facetime call, otherwise the mute/unmute option will be grayed out.
Of course, when your mic is unmuted the option will turn to mute.
