How to manage search engines in Firefox 34.0.5???

I have been using Firefox for sometime now but the latest version has messed up the search bar. I have already seen quite a few posts related to this but no of them fix my current problem.
I use and addon called 'add to search' it allows me to take search bars on many websites and add them as search engines. It also allows you to set keywords for the different search engines. In version 33 and lower when you click manage search engines it is possible to shift the order of the search engines, edit their keywords, remove them and even rename them. With the update to version 34.0.5 all this functionality is lost. The keywords still operate, but I am unable to edit them or remove/rename search engines I have added. Does anyone know how this can be done? I would like to be able to change the keywords and I would also like to be able to remove search engines I have added and at this point Mozilla has made that hard.
Any ideas?

Load this address in the Location Bar.
chrome://browser/content/search/engineManager.xul
You may want to bookmark that address for future use.

  • How to remove search engines in firefox mobile 26

    With the update to firefox 26, another bunch of search engines I will never used were added to my browser. In earlier versions a search engine could be disabled in the addons menu, but that doesn't work any more... Is there any way to remove twitter, bing,... in this version of firefox?

    This is really poor = and as the OP mentions it used to be possible. I've promoted firefox to others since version 2 or so, uninstalled now.

  • Why has Yahoo! installed itself as default search engine behind Firefox 'front page' and how do I turn it off?

    Yahoo search engine seems to have imposed itself as default search engine whenever I open a new tab or use the small search pane on top right of screen. Is this a Firefox default setting and, if not, how can I switch it off?

    Yahoo has taken over my search engine also. so far I have removed the Yahoo choice from Manage Search Engines. I have Google as the first choice but it still opens in Yahoo.
    As the screen shot shows ....you can clearly see that Google was my choice but it came up on Yahoo.

  • How can I change the default Google search engine in Firefox 8 from google.fr to google.co.uk? Yes, I live in France with a French ISP, but English is my mother tongue and I want UK based responses.

    You can find search engines on the Mycroft Project website.

  • RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
    IT DOESN'T WORK
    I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    Hi Kvoter,
    What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
    *''' it should be able to do that'''
    * my firefox does that
    I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
    I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
    * the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
    *the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
    If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
    Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.

    Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
    this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

  • Tried to change search engines in firefox 34 and lost all of them and could not get them back, finally went back to version 33.how do you fix that problem

    I did not want yahoo as my default search engine. I want to be able to pick and choose as always. When i clicked on a different search engine i lost all functionality of the search bar and it became blank.I,ve gone back to 33 till i can get a fix for the problem. I would appreciate your help.

    If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
    about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make this work properly.
    In the address bar, type '''about:preferences#search<enter>'''
    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 access Manage Search Engines, I can't find it on my FF window?

    I'm trying to delete all remnants of Conduit.com. I've removed most of them, but the FF home page is still under the control of Conduit. I can't even find the search bar icon. Sorry, but I'm not very computer literate. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    The Manage Search Engines option is on the menu that appears when you click the icon at the left end of the search box (usually it's the "g" for Google but your icon may be different). Is the box missing?
    To switch your default search engine back to Google, and your "new tab page" back to thumbnails, you can use this extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    If Firefox ignores those changes, you might still have a Conduit-related extension. You can disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • In the dialogue window of "Manage Search Engine List," the "Restore Defautls" button is grayed out!

    Hi,
    I use Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows 7.
    I installed '''Free Desktop Clock 2.37''' from Drive Software, and then Firefox was hi-jacked, though I carefully chose the custom installaion.
    Edit: Free Desktop Clock itself does not hi-jack Firefox. It's another program (name forgotten) bundled with Free Desktop Clock that did it, adding a toolbar, changing the homepage, changing the default search engine, etc. Actually, those forced alterations can be changed back easily, such as a resetting of the "keyword.url" pref. So, "hi-jack" may be a description that's too strong.
    Anyway, I have managed to clean it up -- unsolicited toolbar, forced homepage, forced default search engine, etc.
    But there is still one problem.
    In the dialogue window of '''Manage Search Engine List''', which appears when you click the drop arrow on the left of the Search Bar and then click Manage Search Engines, the '''Restore Defaults''' button is disabled (grayed out).
    How can that button be re-enabled?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Is Free Desktop Clock still listed? If not this may be because the listed search engines are the defaults, so there may be nothing to restore. If you manually added other search engines, you may have to reinstall those separately.

  • I want Google in the upper-right search bar. All defaults have been erased. Clicking on "Manage Search Engines" doesn't offer Google as an option. What do I do?

    Running various anti-spyware programs to fix a Google search hijack/redirect problem, somehow all the default options that are originally supplied by Firefox for search engines in the search bar to the right of the URL bar have disappeared. In the "Manage Search Engines" window, the "Restore Defaults" button is greyed out and not operational. The "Get more search engines" link takes me to a long list of search engines which does NOT show the usual defaults, like Google. How do I get Google back into the search bar? (You correctly show my current browser and OS.)

    Do you see the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) ?
    If not then reinstall Firefox on top of the current installation.
    You can find the latest Firefox release here:
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • No Search engines listed in the Manage Search Engine drop down

    After the most recent update 15.0.1 I have NO SEARCH ENGINES on my computer None listed in the drop down menu under "manage search engines" Everything is greyed out so I can't add anything

    Do you still see the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)?
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected whenever you uninstall Firefox.

  • How to remove search engines ?

    Hi ! In Firefox seems to be only the possibilty to ADD search engines but I can't find how to remove search engines.

    Hi Jack, I just checked the link and find it definitely useful.
    why not create a "document" or "blog" and provide some examples of search or how the link can help in a case study etc and tag specific keywords so that this link will always show up in related search in SCN? This will also give you more points and be of helpful for many of us

    Hi sekhar,
    Your Requirement can be implemented by OVS(Object Value selector) This is the custom search help .So that you can define on what basis the value has to be fetched.
    Look at the below link
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/ABAPWDObjectValueSelector(OVS)
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/606288d6-04c6-2c10-b5ae-a240304c88ea?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    You need to use the component WDR_OVS.
    It has 3 phases
    In phase 1
         You will fetch the value from input field to F4 help dialog box.
    In phase 2
         You will generate the search results , in this phase look for the input value given in field 2 and accordingly generate search result for the field 3.
    In phase 3
         The selected value will be returned to the original screen.
