How to get yahoo off as a web results when asking a question?

on version 17, i type in a question in the web bar (go to a website bar window) and all of the search is done by yahoo and not google. in the right hand side, i have already chosen google as the main search engine, but this must only apply if i type in a word in that box.
e.g. i type in volvo and this is the answer that is in the box http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&p=volvo
below is the whole yahoo search results.
if i type in a word or question, i would like the google results as in the older firefox versions.
how do i get the yahoo results and engine permanently removed and replaced with google in my version 17 firefox?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
You can also try this updated version:
*http://www.freefilehosting.net/searchreset-03-fx
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).

  • How do I turn off skype for web (beta) when I log-in to my outlook email

    I've noticed in the past couple of days that when I log-in to my outlook email page that it shows the new 'skype for web (beta) icon at the top right of the messenger pane instead of the old message link.  How do I  turn this off and go back to the old version as I don't like the new skype for web and much prefer the old style message pane?  I have noted that when I open my People page or OneDrive page that the old version still shows there, so why can't I turn it off in my email page and go back to the original pane? I would appreciate some help and advice on this.  Thanks.

    Hi Claudius,, Thanks for replying.  You asked what I preferred about the old message pane.  I just preferred how it looked.  You could see automatically from your contact list who was online as the call/video icons showed clearly beside their name and if you simply wanted to send an IM, you just selected the contact and the IM box would appear at the bottom.  I just don't like how the new skype for web looks at the side of your Outlook email page as I don't like the layout.  I know it all comes down to personal preference and mine is for the old version.  I don't understand why they have to keep making changes to things.  The way I see it is, if something isn't broke, why break it?  The old version worked perfectly well and I preferred it but we, the users, don't get a say in anything because the people who make these decisions just go ahead and change things no matter what. Thanks for clearing this up for me.  I had hoped you could just turn it off and revert back to the old message pane but you say this isn't possible which is unfortunate. Regards, Linda

  • I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library.  My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

    I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library.  My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.  I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks very much
    Jane

    Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this.  Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
    You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

    Hi,
    You can use the Transaction STMS choose the option "Import Overview" . In the GOTO tab select "History" and choose "Import History".
    Here you can find the history of requests imported to the prod system.

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT3702 how to get card off my iphone 5c

    how to get card off my phone

    On your phone try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should give you a payments link on your account's page (that will remove the card from your account,not just your phone).
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If you don't get the 'none' option then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

  • How to get videos off my ipod back on my computer

    I have to send my ipod back to have it fixed or replaced and Some of the videos I put on my ipod I deleted out of I tunes because my computer has a lack of space for all of it.

  • How to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard???

    How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard PERMANENTLY?
    I am not techno.
    I need simple instructions with plain descriptions. I do not have any discs. The iMac came with Snow Leopard and I loaded NOTHING.
    I should never have bought  Lion. It is awful.
    Please someone tell me how to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard.

    Can I use time machine to restart the machine before the fateful day when I bought and installed Lion?
    Yes, if you have a pre-Lion backup, but you need an installation disc.
    Is there anything else I can do?  more RAM?
    I don't know how much RAM you have. It must be at least 2 GB, or Lion wouldn't have installed. If that's all you have, you might get better performance by adding more. But from your description, I doubt that your problem is due entirely, if at all, to a lack of RAM. If you want to troubleshoot the problem, it will take some patience and effort, and you'll need to be in a calm frame of mind.

  • How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    How to get mackeeper off my mac?

    A
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    First, back up all data.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.
    B
    If you see popup ads for MacKeeper on websites where you haven't seen them before, see below.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How to get data off old LC III drive

    I have our first LC III computer that I gave to our in-laws...now they want data off of it and I don't know how to get it off easily.  The HD is a SCSI interface I think...can I use a SCSI to usb cable?  This machine was pre-ethernet, so no communication interface other than the printer port and a port for and old style modem. 

    Hi,
    It is not so easy to gain direct access to data on an old SCSI hard drive via a modern computer.
    An alternative could be to use 1.44 MB floppy disks for transfers. Another semi-old (pre-1998) Mac with Ethernet could then read these floppies and forward the data files over a network. A newer Mac would require a USB floppy drive.
    A Windows PC, with a floppy drive and a utility such as TransMac for the handling of Mac disks, could also be used.
    Yet another solution could be a serial null-modem transfer. See the following discussion for details:

  • How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM

    Hi Gurus,
    I have couple of questions for SRM.
    1. How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM so i can debug the application which is running in EBP system??
    2. How to set the flag for external debugging (HTTP)??
    3. Using SICF how to set the ITS services ( Like BBPSC01 )for internal ITS so as soon as i place the order it should stop at the break point which i have set in the application.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Manoj Tiwari

    Setting up Debugging for Integrated ITS
    Tcode SICF.
    Select service (e.g. default_hostàbcàguiàsapàitsàbbpsc01).
    Change service settings and insert parameter ~GENERATEDYNDPRO=1.
    Find program to debug. E.g. SE93. Enter bbpsc01 à Display and get Program field (SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS)
    Execute SE38 and enter program name.
    Turn HTTP Debugging ON. UtilitiesàSettingsàDebugging. Click Actv and username.
    Add HTTP Breakpoint. Display source code and select Utilitiesàbreakpointsàset.
    On “External Debugging” select ‘HTTP Breakpoint’.
    Remember to remove breakpoints, deactivate debugging and remove parameter GENERATEDYNPRO.
    Can run program RSBREAKPOINTS to find which programs you have breakpoints set in.
    Have fun with EBP
    If you have any more questions i would be happy to help you. Send me mail on [email protected]

    Hi. I was in bed chewing gum, with my ipod, and i fell asleep. When i woke up, there was gum all over the screen.  Any ideas how to get it off?

    Well, you shouldn't use your iPod to chew gum with.  That's what your teeth are for.
    Peanut butter and chocolate are good for getting gum out of your hair and off of your clothing....
    But you may want to have someone else do this for you....
