I can temporarily set my Internet keyword search service to Google's Browse by Name service, but how can I make that setting permanent?

I'm using Firefox 5.0. In about:config, keyword.enabled is set to "true," but keyword.URL is set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties I can modify it to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= but when I exit and then restart Firefox, the keyword.URL is back the way it was. How do I permanently fix this? With keyword.URL set to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties, if I attempt an Internet keyword search, I get the error message, "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region"

I set the keyword.URL preference to the Google Search-by-Name URL, changed to the default theme, and then restarted in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled. When I then checked keyword.URL, it had changed back to the "chrome:" setting.
I set keyword.URL again and then disabled all plug-ins, exited Firefox normally, and restarted in Normal Mode. Again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
I then reset keyword.URL, left all the plug-ins disabled, and restarted in Safe Mode. Once again, keyword.URL had reverted to the "chrome:" setting.
Sorry to be so clueless, cor-el, but I'm afraid I don't know what a locale is. I tried to read your link to mozillaZine, but it kept timing out after 30 seconds. Is that because of too much volume? So are you saying that my current locale is supposed to reset the keyword.URL preference from the "chrome:" setting to some valid value, but that isn't happening? What else could cause this besides a bad extension, theme, or plug-in?

  • Internet Keyword Search not working

    I recently updated Firefox to 8.0.1, and since then I have been having problems with searching from the location bar. When I try to use firefox's 'Internet Keyword Search', it comes up with the message "File not found: Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-GB/locale/browser-region/region.properties[insert searched item here]" etc. When I change the keyword.url settings in the about:config from chrome to google, this works until I restart firefox. When I restart, the about:config settings have all changed back to chrome. Help!

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    my daughter made a voice recording on her phone and sent it to me through a text message. Can I make that a ringtone for my Iphone?

    I did an internet search (Google) and found the following. It is from May (before the latest iOS update) so the look of some of the steps may vary slightly from the current iOS 7. http://osxdaily.com/2013/03/04/turn-any-voice-recording-into-a-ringtone-for-ipho ne/

    Hello Terryfrank,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer. 
    I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article. 
    With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up.  The last step is to import the content to your new computer.  Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.
    Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

  • How can I make that the cursor of a table ...

    Hello,
    how can I make that the cursor of a table (on the frontpanel) go to the starting position? I have placed a table that give back the number of the row if I doubleclick a row on the frontpanel, but when I restart the vi the cursor of the table is on this position. If I have many informations in the table and after restarting there are just one or two, I can`t see this information without scrolling to the top of the table. I want that the cursor (that I see) is at the first row. How can I make it?

  • When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I'm at my home, and on my Wifi, my 4G icon on my LG G2 is still present. No big deal. If the bits can flow via WiFi, that's what they'll do.
    You might try (if you really MUST shut off the cellular radio):
    Settings, Network Connections and More networks. Select Mobile Networks and uncheck Mobile data and data roaming.
    Not sure if that will work - but give it a try.

  • I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. Why not?

    I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. It tells me iTunes 11 is still open. What's going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Without providing details on exactly what you did it is hard to provide an answer.  It's like me saying, "This chocolate cake I made tastes wrong," but not providing the recipe for review.  Maybe it was the garlic in that particular recipe.
    If iTunes is successfully using a previous library which you rename to iTunes Library.itl then that is now the current library.
    Have you restarted your computer and then tried emptying the trash?

  • New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen?

    New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen? That is, every time I open a new window, it won't open on top of the old window, and instead is positioned to the right of it. I'm on a mac. Please help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today

    I see. I'm not aware of how to fix this in Firefox. Usually you want to tweak your Winow Manager preferences for opening new windows.
    Example: sawfish preferences for Linux.
    Since Mac OS X doesn't have any preferences, you have to use Applescript or another technique. I found [http://amitp.blogspot.com/2006/08/mac-os-x-window-management-spooky.html Spooky], maybe there are others. I haven't tried it, but here is the [http://www.doernte.net/spooky.html Spooky Download and Description].

  • The Internet Keyword Search is no longer functioning

    Previously when I would enter something like "[Actor Name] imdb" into the location bar it would take me to that page. I didn't set this up as a custom keyword search so I assume it was using the default service. Now when I do it it just takes me to the Google search results. keyword.enabled is True so I tried resetting the Keyword.URL location in about:config but the value is blank when I Reset it.

    I Have that SAME problem! Aaargh its really annoying!
    I really hope they fix it soon because that was my FAVORITE thing about the old Firefox...
    Please fix it soon guys I believe in you!!

  • The new Firefox opens all the old tabs it closed with, when it starts. I'd rather just start a new session. How can I make that the default setting?

    The new Firefox re-opens all the tabs it closed with; and, I'd rather just start a new session, as the default setting. How can I do this? It would make it easier on me, the machine, and the Internet feed, not to reload automatically a bunch of tabs that were just closed. There must be someway to fix this. This happens on my brother's Windows computer, as well; and, it's running Firefox 4. Thanks for your help.

    Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
    Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

  • How do i put in keyword search terms for Google in iWeb

    Does anyone know how to put keyword (search term) into my existing webpage for Google?

    This might be of interest to you: Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking.
    That being said use iWeb SEO to add metadata, page and site descriptions, title tags, etc., to an iWeb page, either after publishing to MobileMe or after publishing to a folder on the hard drive.

  • Connect 2 iPhones with 2 different apple ids to the macbook for updates and backup through iTunes match and iCloud. How can i make that happen?

    We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
    How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    What i get is in the end that in the ComboBox in this case i call it cmbxNetwork i see in it many items all start with Win32_ For example when i click on ComboBox i see the first item is: "Win32_NetworkAdapter"
    Instead Win32_NetworkAdapter i want to see in the ComboBox only: NetworkAdapter But when i select the item it should be selected as Win32_NetworkAdapter but the user should see and select only NetworkAdapter.
    I want to remove as test from the ComboBox items the Win32_ But only that the user will see it without Win32_
    Also in the constructor when i'm doing now: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "Win32_NetworkAdapter"; so instead if i'm doing: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "NetworkAdapter"; it will be enough. THe program will use the "Win32_NetworkAdapter";
    but again what i see and user in the ComboBox as item is only the NetworkAdapter

    Hi Chocolade1972,
    >> I want to remove as test from the ComboBox items the Win32_ But only that the user will see it without Win32_  Also in the constructor when i'm doing now: cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "Win32_NetworkAdapter"; so instead if i'm doing:
    cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem = "NetworkAdapter";
    Do you mean that you want the ComboBox show the value of “NetworkAdapter” in the text, but when you refer the value of the cmbxNetwork.SelectedItem, it will be “Win32_NetworkAdapter”? If so, I am afraid that you need create your own ComboboxItem and override
    the ToString() method to return the text you want.
    You could modify the code below for your own achievement.
    public partial class Form0417 : Form
    public Form0417()
    InitializeComponent();
    public class ComboboxItem
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public object Value { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    return Text;
    private void Form0417_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    ComboboxItem item1 = new ComboboxItem();
    item1.Text = "Processor";
    item1.Value = "Win32_Processor";
    ComboboxItem item2 = new ComboboxItem();
    item2.Text = "DiskDrive";
    item2.Value = "Win32_DiskDrive";
    cmbxOption.Items.Add(item1);
    cmbxOption.Items.Add(item2);
    //MessageBox.Show((cmbxOption.SelectedItem as ComboboxItem).Value.ToString());
    private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    MessageBox.Show((cmbxOption.SelectedItem as ComboboxItem).Value.ToString());
