How to stop the Firefox Awesome Bar from defaulting to Bing searches vs. Google?

Whenever I use the Awesome Bar within the browser Bing is defaulted to instead of Google. Occasionally the Awesome Bar will go to Google search but does not do so exclusively anymore. I have never downloaded the Bing extension and for good measure have ensured my keyword.URL value is set to "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=" as well as disabling all extensions. Even when doing a full reinstall the problem still persists with seemingly no solution.
== Operating system ==
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    # Question
    I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

    Is this the Firefox branded Google page? If it is, Firefox can store multiple home pages and you may have 2 home pages set. Follow the instructions to set a single home page in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    If it is the Firefox has just updated page that keeps on appearing, there may be a different problem, for details on fixing that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

    how to stop the new health application from Count the steps/ woking background?
    I really need your help

    I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
    Show the Alert like this:
    // show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
    Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
         Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
    Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
    protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
    if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
         navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
    else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
         // they chose no
    The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

    Let me know if that helps...

  • How can I stop the Add-on Bar from appearing everytime a new tab or window is opened?

    I close it each time, and I have also removed it by unchecking it in the toolbar (or similar) menu. However, it always reappears whenever I open a new tab or re-open Firefox. How can I get rid of it unless I choose for it to become present again?

    Right-click the "+" tab and deselect the Add-on Bar entry tick. The Add-on Bar should then disappear for the remainder of the session but will reappear when you restart Firefox. If you want to permanently remove the Add-on Bar then a different approach must be used, using a modified userChrome.css file.

  • How to stop the std SUS method from being called

    Hi
    I am working on SRM - EDI integration for NON SUS vendor.I am using a custom mapping and custom method call in this case.i have placed the logic in the std. mapping BADI - BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI.i am triggering my custom method call in this method only.but i am unable to stop the control flow here after as i need not to trigger the Std. process.
    Regards,
    Durgaprasad Kare.

    Hi Durga,
    The BADI BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI is meant for mapping purposes in the outbound proxy object and cannot be used to control the message flow.
    What I would suggest you to code the custom logic in the BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI where is you can check the vendor and determine the custom message needs to be trigerred. Besides you have a check at XI level to block those mesages that are not needed.
    Regards

  • How do I stop the Firefox home page from automatically loading. I have rest my homepage to where I want it. But the Firefox homepage still loads automatically

    When I open Firefox, the homepage I set opens...as does the Mozillza Firefox home page which opens in a separate tab. It is an extra tab I DON'T want. How do Is stop it?

    The instructions are clear and easy to understand, however, it doesn't always work.
    I set my home page to www.google.com (only one tab opened up), clicked OK to save google as my home/start page.
    I closed all browsers, started FF and it worked.
    However, the next time I started FF it came back with the hooray, your ff is up to date.
    I also set my home page to my internal work site URL, same problem.
    I'm using version 23.0
    I also tried going to google, and dragging the icon at the beginning of the URL to my home page icon. Still doesn't work.

  • How can I stop the yellow browser bar from appearing? the one which says "unable to contact the login server"???

    this yellow bar appears constantly while I am using the internet. It says" LastPass was unable to contact the login server, etc., etc."
    It is very annoying, and causes my screen to jump about when it is being active.
    I am using windows 7 on a HP desktop.

    hello Larryrush, please contact lastpass's support about this issue - they can likely give you better advice and are the only people who can resolve server errors in their network.

  • What can I do to stop the vertical scroll bar from freezing up or vanishing?

    I am mostly in the App Store, but often the vertical (up & down) scroll bar will freeze up so it does not move or while scrolling with it, the bar vanishes!  How can I fix this or can it be fixed?

    The only thing that's worked for me is clicking on a selection (I'm usually in music), and then going back to the main page. Usually, the scroll bar will reappear.  That's a ridiculous jumping through hoops to do something simple, but I haven't found any solution, either.

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    Installed: Firefox 27. ReminderFox 2.1.4. Windows XP Professional
    Since ReminderFox 2.1.4 was installed, I have deselected the 'Status/Add-on Bar Display 'Bow' and text on status bar' numerous times, but the setting never takes effect even after pressing the Apply and OK buttons.
    The Add-on Bar, which has always been deselected from the View > Toolbars menu, shows as selected in the menu, and even though I deselect it manually, when I close Firefox and then reopen it, it shows again as selected in the menu.
    How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.
