How to enlarge google search box

When I open up the firefox page, the google search box is much smaller than what I prefer it to be. How can I enlarge the google search box?

Which page is that?<br />
Is that the www.google.com/firefox page?<br />
How many characters can you type in that input field?
Can you attach a screenshot?

When i click on firefox, i get a page that does not show my google search box, how do i acces it?

there is a red page in the way of google search box.
how do you get rid of the red page, and just go back to the google search box?

If you key into the location bar ''about:home'' that will open the homepage with the google search bar in the Center of it.
If that has a red box in front of it please take a screenshot of it and post it n your next message
* see [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
If the page looks ok then set that as your normal homepage as explained in this article:

How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
How do I fix?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc.) to the Firefox home page. It currently only contains a google search box ?

My Firefox homepage currently only contains a Google search box. How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc) to the Firefox home page.

The current build-in Firefox home page <b>about:home</b> doesn't have such extra features. If you need those then change the home page to <b>http://wwww<i></i>.google<i></i>.com</b>

Previous history items in the Google search box don't open when clicked. How can I fix this please? Thanks.

With the Google search box installed with Firefox 4.01, when I open the drop down list of previous searches and click on on to access a previous search topic instead of opening that site, nothing happens.

So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
What are your current default font settings?
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

PROBLEM WITH AUTO POPULATE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH BOX

When I type in the google search box it auto populates search terms as it always has. However since upgrading to FF4 when I click on the one I want to go to ... nothing happens. I have to type the full search every time. I don't see this issue anywhere in the forum, am I the only one having this problem?

How Firefox is opened should not matter.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
know what each one is and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

Yesterday an extra Google Search Box was placed in the body of one of my home pages. Cannot get rid of it.

I use Firefox as my reading browser and sometime ago stumbled upon a method to make the most visited sites readily available by having photos of their sites as a supplemental home page. Yesterday a large Google Search box was added at the top of that page that I neither want nor need. I search from the address bar. Always have. I've done everything recommended to reset the home page and nothing seems to work. How do I get rid of that space hogging search field (it reduced the size of the 9 site photos that formerly occupied that page;I just click on the page to open a site). I captured a screen shot, but it seems to be awfully large. Can I get rid of it? It just showed up yesterday.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
*[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
*[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

Clearing individual entries from Google search box

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to clear individual entries from the Google search box history using Safari. I know how to clear the entire list, but what I want is to keep some entries but not others. On IE and Firefox this is done by highlighting the entry and pressing Delete or Shift-Delete, but I've tried various permutations of these with Safari and none seem to work. Any help much appreciated - many thanks.

Hi Richard,
Your recent search items are located in the 'RecentSearchStrings' array within com.apple.Safari.plist. It's a file located in ~/Library/Preferences/, where the ~ is your user home folder. Note, if you wish to edit this file within OS X, you will require the Property List Editor which comes as part of Developer Tools (it's on your OS X installation CD as an optional installation).
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can put together a neat command you can issue in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/) which will serve the same purpose.

Google Search box

hi all.. anyone know how to not save recent searches in the google search box.. Next to the magnifying glass there is a down arrow that shows recent searches when you click it.
thanks for any input.

yes, but remember that google itself saves your searches. You can log in and review those searches and they are saved even if you use private browsing to prevent them being saved in safari.

I STILL haven't got the Google search box

Please stay with your original question thread, here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976608<br />''Locking this as a duplicate.''
STILL haven't had anyone tell me how to get the Google search box back. All I get is a blank page with the little Google logo in blue on atab. Nothing for images, search etc. In fact I CAN'T Google search any more.
I'm giving it one more week, then will dump Firefox off my computer in favour of Chrome. Sorry.

Hi Kyle,
Is the email address you use here on the forums the same one you used to register for MAX?

Google search box in Safari not displaying matches

Hello,
I just did the latest Software Update on both my MacBook Pro and iMac (the update was a new iTunes--version 10.3). I'm not sure why this is happening, but when I use the Google search box (located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window), I no longer see a list of possible matches to what I'm typing. Both of my computers now do not display them, yet it has always done this in the past.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or do you know what happened?
Thank you very much.

My guess is Google did something wrong, figured it out and fixed it. The suggestions feature went away in Safari for Google, but not for bing, and continued to work in Firefox. It is all fixed this morning. I happened to be using Google when it stopped functioning, it had nothing to do with updates to the Mac, since as it went south I restarted in an earlier Snow Leopard version and discovered it was not working there either. So it was a Google action that caused the mishap, nothing that Apple did. Anyway, all's well now.
Francine
