How to get old awesomebar behaviour back in firefox 4 ?

Before Firefox 4, when typing (part of) the name of most popular websites in the address bar, it would automatically direct to these sites through some clever selective use of the Google 'feeling lucky' search. For example, typing 'firefox' and hitting enter would automatically take me to the Firefox page on the Mozilla website.
It seems that the default behaviour in Firefox 4 has changed to simply performing a Google keyword search like in most other browsers.
I don't think there's any option to change the default behaviour, but I'm guessing there's some configuration line that can be adjusted to mimic it. But which one ?

There's a second step that no one has mentioned and that these links don't make clear.
# Enter '''about:config''' in your address bar.
#There will be a message saying, ''"This might void your warranty!"'' Click ''"I'll be careful, I promise!"''
#Find '''keyword.enabled''', either by scrolling down or by typing into the '''Filter:''' box. If '''Value''' is set to '''true''', do nothing. If it is set to '''false''', double click it to change it to '''true'''.
#Then, find '''keyword.URL'''. Double click it to modify the value, and enter ''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q='' into the box ''(ignore the link--just copy & paste the whole string)''.
These instructions set Google's Browse by Name, which was the default in Firefox 3. It behaves exactly as it did in Firefox 3--if your terms match a result well, it sends you straight there; otherwise, you go to the Google search page.
Alternatively, if you do want to use a straight I'm Feeling Lucky search, then use ''http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&btnI=&q='' instead ''(again, ignore the link--just copy & paste the whole string)''.

  • How to get old songs+videos back on iTunes after it was redownloaded?

    My computer was just recently broken so all of the memory on the computer was lost so we had to restart it. So now I need to know how to get back all my old songs and videos back on iTunes.

    if you purchased them from iTunes, the terms of service indicate that you can only download the files once, and urges you to make a backup of your music.. if you don't have a backup, you will either have to re-purchase them, or rip them from CDs, etc

  • How to get old search box back

    Yesterday my broswer updated and I now have version 36. This comes with a new search box. I had several search engines listed with different languages, now all i see in this stupid new version is the same icon, I can't see the labels anymore which had DE / FR / EN in. They all look the same now.
    How do I go back to the old version? Who designed this? Some yank who can't speak any language other than english? I think I'll do what my colleagues have done and switch to chrome.
    and why does this site require so many stupid steps to ask a question, and when I create an account is thinks i may have meant .com instead of .de for my email address... what kind of crap is this? Does everyone at mozilla live in america and only speak english?

    Go to about:config and change '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' to '''false'''
    It's an option in the Advanced Section of the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ if you want to check what other things with the UI you might want to undo.

  • How to get my purchase history back?

    Hi,
    I suspect the merge between Nokia Dev and Ovi accounts to have deleted all my purchase history. The last 9th of september, I purchased Billboard for my N9. So, it was less than a year before, it should be still valid and I should still be able to download the app.
    How to get this purchase information back? Of course I kept the email this the purchase order.
    Thanks.

    @Farby: You're right. I marked it as solved because it seems a valid answer. But then I checked my purchase order and saw it is less than 12 months old. Of course, I should have checked before asking.
    @yasfer21: completely forgot the differences between the accounts, and the previous logins.
    So, my question still remains. Is there an email address I can contact to get my purchase back? Another way? Thanks.

  • I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I'm not really sure how to get those source files back

    I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog?  Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file?  If not, how or can this be done?
    I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can.  Do you understand my situation?
    This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with.  If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer?  I really need help.  PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

    Is there any solution (other than buying
    I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one.  Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    Use externals and network drive only for backup.

  • How to get photos from iphoto back onto an SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with a built in SC card slot.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

  • How to get password as string back from encrypted password byte array.

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the database.(Code included encryptPassword method for encryption and validatePassword method for validating of password). Problem is that for some reason i need to show user's password to the user as a string as he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the encrypted password from D/B to original String.
    Tell me if any body know how to get the string password back from the encrypted password byte array after seeing my existing encryption code.
    //********* Code
    private Vector encryptPassword(byte[] arrPwd)
    try
    // parameter arrPwd is the password as entered by the user and to be encrypted.
    byte[] encPwd = null;

    key = pub.getEncoded();
    Vector vtrPwd = new Vector(2);
    vtrPwd.add(encPwd);
    vtrPwd.add(key);
    return vtrPwd;
    catch (Exception e)
    private boolean validatePassword(byte[] arrPwd,byte[] encPwd,byte[] key) throws RemoteException
    try

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the
    database.(Code included encryptPassword method for

    to show user's password to the user as a string as

    Tell me if any body know how to get the string
    password back from the encrypted password byte array
    after seeing my existing encryption code.It is impossible to retrieve the original text out of a signature.
    You should read up on some encryption basics in order to understand the difference between signing and encrypting. Then you can find examples of how to encrypt something here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html.
    Actually there is one class specifically for keeping keys secure, KeyStore http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html

  • How to get the; popular tag: back in safari. Deleted it.

    How to get the POPULAR tab back in safari after deleting it. Thanks for the help.

    You have to pass a parameter. An id is good.
    Of course you have to get an id from somewhere in the result set right?
    <a target="_top" rel="contents" rev="contents" class="fordynamiclabel" href="ASCMasterTwo.jsp?id=<%= rSet.getString("id") %>"><%=rSet.getString(1) %></a></td>Then you call
    request.getParameter("id");
    and look up the values related to that id in the database.

    Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
    Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

    2.
    which record user delete and when he delete my management need full history of data activities
    please give me idea how I get old history
    thank’s
    aamir

    Yes. Oracle does keep track of records but in a different way. It saves the redo information in redo logs so that it can recover the database in case of crash.
    It also keeps undo information in separate tablespace in case you rollback your transaction.
    But... this is not what I would call maintaining history.
    Moving ahead, these redo logs are archived to another location if you have archiving enabled.
    You can use log miner to mine through these archived logs but I doubt if any human would have patience to go through all those archive logs that are generated frequently, just to track the updates/deletes done.
    For me, adding a trigger is much simpler.

  • How to get the organized files back when you move to a new computer

    How to get your file folder organization back when you move to a new computer?

    Your PSE8 is using the default, new empty catalog that's created when PSE is installed.
    In Windows, search your entire computer for this file:
    catalog.pse8db
    The largest one that's found will be your old catalog.  If your computer people didn't restore that catalog file (and its entire directory), ask them where the heck it is.

  • How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

    I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

    That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
    I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
    - made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
    - restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
    - My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
    - Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
    The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
    I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.
