How do I restore a custom item in the Search bar?

I have just bought a new comouter. One of the things I want to set up on it is the same set of options in the Firefox Search bar. In my old computer I set up the ARTFL Roget's Thesaurus as as one of the list of options for search engines. (This Thesaurus is found on http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?resource=Roget%27s ) I set this up so long ago that I cannot remember how I did it, but it has worked perfectly for years - I use it all the time.
Setting up Firefox on my new computer, it seems only to allowed registered search engines onto the list for the Search bar. How do I get my Thesaurus onto the list? How did I, way back then?
I am using Firefox 8.0 on XP on my old machine; Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7 on my new one.
Thanks for you attention.

try this excellent add- on:

How do I permanently delete an item from the bookmarks bar?

When I right click and delete a bookmark in the bar, it disappears but comes back after I have shut down my computer and later boot up again. How do I get rid of it permanently?

If by chance you have v10.7 Lion installed not v10.6.8 as your profile suggests, deselect Safari in System Preferences > iCloud then try deleting an item from the Bookmark bar.

How do I keep from highlighting terms in the search bar when I modify a string in the search bar--other than by clicking three to five times?

I'm not talking about terms in the search results; I'm talking about terms in the search string in the search bar in the upper right corner. (Mine is set to use only Google.) When I've searched on a string and decide to modify the string for a second search (say, changing "Spanish architecture" to "Spanish architectural style"), clicking at the end of the search string first highlights the entire string and then, as I keep clicking, highlights various parts of the string. Sometimes it takes five clicks to get the highlighting to go away so I can start back-deleting normally instead of by entire word or phrase. The Google homepage doesn't do this, whereas all search engines in Firefox do it, so it's clearly a Firefox annoyance.

Left click ONCE to get it's attention. After a moment, then do your work.

How to show items in the menu bar

I'd like to know how to add and/or delete items from the menu bar.

Yes....there is a menu bar at the top of the screen in which sit icons of things like volume, the date, the language, etc. When there are many of them, sometimes you can't see them all. I want to rearrange the order of some of them so that I can always see my Dropbox icon for example. If Apple kept iDisk (!!!!) that worked so well, I wouldn't be worrying about Dropbox.

[iPhone] Place a custom view below the status bar and above the navbar

Hello,
How can I add a custom view between the status bar and the UINavigationBar?
The Myspace App does this so I know it can be done. It has a custom bar between the status bar and the navigation bar which displays the myspace logo and a logout link. I would like to do something similar w/ my app.
Thank you

You can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css as basically you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order).
*[[/questions/997353]] How can I put the Tabs back below the navigation bar?
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
*You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

How do I make the search bar on the default Firefox Homepage search in Google rather than AOL?

On the default home page for Firefox 4, the one with the restore previous session on it, the search bar links to AOL Search. This does not seem to happen on other computers. How do I make it search in Google?

In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
#In the filter at the top, type '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and replace the current setting with http://www.google.com/search?q= (''it has to be entered exactly as you see it written here - but since this is a URL, right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard, then CTRL+V to paste it'')
#Close Firefox via File | Exit and then restart it again.
To reset it to something else afterwards, see [[How to set the home page]]

How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in Pages 5

How do I keep a custom letterhead on the first page in pages 5. I made a custom template using text boxes and when the first page is full, the letterhead moves to the second page and disappears from the first page. How can I keep it on the first page and not moving to the second page.
hank

Hi Hank,
Text Box at the top of Page 1.
Select the Text Box and
Format Panel > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page
That will stop it moving (flowing) with the text.
Top of Page 2
Another way is to put your letterhead in the Page Header of Page 1. Insert a Section Break at the bottom of Page 1 (Click where you want the Section Break and
Menu > Insert > Section Break).
Click in Section 2, and
Document Panel > Section > Headers & Footers > untick Match previous section
Page 1 with letterhead in the Page Header
Page 2
Regards,
Ian.

You can't unlock it without losing data. It's too late for that now. You totally erase the iPad when you unlock it and you will have to start all over again. Most of your purchased content can be downloaded again.
