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.

  • 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. So for instance: Ask .com searchbar seems to be integrated in the Firefox S/W and not possible to remove, but pops up automatically. If this is the case I've to use another browser because I 've no intention to to use Ask.com. Pls comment! Wbr/ Rolf

  • 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

  • How to get get real, custom search engines on Firefox Mobile

    So, I have been trying for some time to get my own, favorite search engines into the Firefox Mobile search bar. I finally found a rather complicated workaround:
    Get a free account at www.shortmarks.com - use your spam-only Gmail address or similar.
    Manually create a search plugin for Shortmarks.com and place it in the "searchplugins" folder of Firefox Mobile. On my Android phone, the folder is in
    /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/XXXXXXXX.default/
    Create the search plugin as an .xml file with the following text:
    <SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
    <os:ShortName>Shortmarks</os:ShortName>
    <os:Description>ShortMarks</os:Description>
    <os:InputEncoding>UTF-8</os:InputEncoding>
    <os:Image width="16" height="16">data:image/gif;base64,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</os:Image>
    <os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://shortmarks.com/s.php?q={searchTerms}">
    </os:Url><os:Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://www.keywordssuggest.com/complete/search?output=firefox&amp;client=firefox&amp;qu={searchTerms}">
    </os:Url>
    </SearchPlugin>
    ... and place the file in the searchplugins folder.
    After this, you can create your custom searches with shortcuts on www.shortmarks.com, and use them directly from the address bar.
    So...: Is there an easier way of doing this?
    nrabett

    The search plugins from addons.mozilla.com can be installed directly in Firefox mobile, but - to my knowledge - not the ones from Mycroft. The advantage of using the self-made Shortmark search plugin it that it allows adding any search engine - not only the ones from addons.mozilla.com. Furthermore, you can import all custom search engines from an existing Desktop Firefox version to Shortmark, and access them directly by using the familiar abbreviations in the Firefox Mobile search bar - e.g., gb for Google Book search.
    The process of creating this very useful function would be far easier if www.shortmarks.com was added as a downloadable search plugin from addons.mozilla.com. As said, search plugins cannot be imported to Mobile Firefox directly from Mycroft.

    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 )

  • How do I permanently delete all one click search engines from Firefox 34.0.5 except Google?

    In previous versions there was a Delete or Remove button to permanently remove Search engine choices. This version has some several default choices that I cannot delete. Is this a feature you removed? Yahoo, Ask and Bing suck.

    <blockquote>
    You can remove items via the previously used search engine manager that you can open via the chrome URI link I posted in my above reply.

    This was the solution I was looking for. Thank you very much!

  • How do I watch .mp4 on firefox mobile?

    I tried to open a site with an .mp4 video imbedded. The firefox browser told me that i needed a new version of flash player. So i clicked on the link and it told me that I can't download flash onto apple devices. I have an android phone. How do I watch .mp4 on firefox mobile?

    But the native web browser allows me to open an MP4 file directly in the Video app, where it is played directly. Firefox 4 Mobile first downloads the whole file, before I can play the file in the Video app. This takes too long and it is to tedious since I have to manually remove the downloaded file later. Is it possible to configure FF4M so it would do the same as the native browser?

  • When I use a search engine in Firefox, the links redirect me to some spam, and not the site the search engine found.

    When I use a search engine in Firefox, whether it be google, or Yahoo, the links found by the search engine, re-direct me somewhere else. For instance when I searched for Places to Buy PC Games. www.gamestop.com popped up. When I clicked the link, it took me to some laptop hardware site. But if I type in the url for Gamestop, it takes me to their website. This has happened for several searches, several different links. I tried Internet Explorer thinking it may be a problem with the search engines. But IE is working fine for this.

    This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]

    If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

  • How to implement search engine for pdf file.

    Hi
    I am newbie to AIR technolgy .how  to implement search engine . when i enter the name of file in search box , it should fetch correspoding  the pdf file .
    Please help me out
    Thanks
    Mohan

    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.

  • Does anyone know how travel meta search engines work? (kayak,mobissimo)

    Does anyone know how travel meta search engines work? like (mobissimo,kayak,TravelJungle.co.uk)

    Thanks for your reply BalusC
    i agree with u.
    the sites like kayak, mobissimo are using spider tool to get data from other sites(airline site, etc..).
    and they are using jquery with php pages. these sites are airline ticket booking sites.
    my questions are:-
    how can they get flight information without any GDS help?
    can a spider program/tool fetch the realtime data?
    i had experience in implementation of client side web services for GDS(worldspan,amadeus).
    but i am not have any experience with travel meta search engine applications..
    thats way a need help from seniors...

  • How to remove auto start of firefox plug in page

    1) how to remove auto start of firefox plug in page. we do not want this site to open when openning firefox.
    2) we proceeded with a few updates as requested, but firefox did not show the update once complete-still said need to update.

    First of all your Flash plugin is out of date: Use Adobe's own page to test your version of the plug-in and to update it www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -- evidently the same information is not getting to the Mozilla plug-ins test. That might fix your problem if your home page uses Flash such as a news site.
    Find updates for installed plugins at www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/mozilla.com/plugincheck
    plugin page keeps coming up: see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/832793 particularly the replies near the end (different replies for different users).
