If the problem persists, you can try to Reset Firefox and start afresh.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.

I just downloaded firefox 5 and now I have no search bar in the top right. How do I get it back?

After restarting the computer when firefox 5 had been downloaded the search bar in the top right is now missing.

See if it is on the Customize Toolbar window. If so, while the Customize Toolbar window is open, drag it to the location you want it. To open the Customize Toolbar window, do one of the following:
*click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
*using the Menu Bar: View > Toolbars > Custonize
*HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTC
*right-click on a blank space on a toolbar or at the end of the Tab Bar and choose "Customize".
If "Search" is not on the Customize Toolbar window, click "Restore Default Set" at the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window and look again.

I have a square box in the middle of my computer that says compaq

Good morning everyone, Hello my name is Jacqueline smith and I have a problem with the square box in the middle of my computer that says loading compaq and it want go away. I can go on the internet but this box is the middle of the screen. Can someone please help me take it off, I would surely appreciate it?

Hi jacky263,
Does this happen everytime you restart your computer? Do you know when the box first appears?
It sounds like a process or background application is getting hung up somehow and is not closing.
If you know the application that generates the box, you can go into Task Manager (press CTRL + ALT + DEL and then select "Task Manager"). Once in TM, see if there are any applications or processes running that are associated with the Compaq box on the screen. Then end the application or process.
Once you find the application causing the issue, you can try to keep it from loading at startup using MSCONFIG (from the Run box on the Start menu).
Let us know how it goes.

The search bar in the top right hand side of my screen works fine, but the main search bar in the middle of the home screen doesn't at all; do you know how I can fix this?

I can access bookmarked pages, pages that are on a saved RSS feed, and can search the web using the top right-hand bar on my screen. However, the main bar, in the center of the home page (not sure of the correct name) will not do anything - whether I press search, or hit enter on my keyboard. There also appears to be another bar underneath that, which I can press, but it remains useless.
My Dad is running Firefox 4 on his computer, and has showed me what it is meant to look like. I can therefore conclude that there is definitely something up with mine.
I am currently using Firefox 4 with my laptop, which runs Windows 7.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 4, but the problem still remains. I am not keen to use Internet Explorer, purely because I have bookmarked so many pages on the previous version of Firefox but also because I get on very well with the whole layout etc.
If it comes to it, I am willing to take the risk of losing my bookmarks, but if there are any suggestions at '''''all''''' of how I could possibly fix this problem, I would welcome them.

Go to this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?country=AU
Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

Hi, in almost every other browser, when i save a document or attach a file in my gmail i have a search bar in the top right hand corner of the window pane that opens. Does Firefox do this?

for example, those of you running windows, if you key;
start/computer/C drive you will notice a search bar in tope right hand corner. Can this happen in Firefox.

On my mozilla start page, there is a search bar in the middle of the page. It has always been google, but suddenly it is bing. I hate bing! I've been trying to figure out how to change it but it is beyond me.

I downloaded a game from msn games a week or so ago, and I'm thinking that is what brought this about. I deleted the game off my computer, but don't know how to fix this...

If you are talking about the default Firefox 4+ homepage - '''about:home''' - run this code in the Scratchpad to change the '''about:home''' search engine back to Google.
Firefox button > Web Developer -> Scratchpad - copy and paste this script into Scratchpad > then hit Execute > Run
<pre> <nowiki>
javascript:{localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";void(0);}

The search engine in the middle of my start page does not work.

I presume this is the Mozilla search engine. It worked in earlier versions. Other engines, such as Google work fine, but not the main engine. It slows a blinking cursor and I can enter something, but it does not react to clicking SEARCH with with the mouse or to pressing ENTER.

Use this for the home page: http://www.google.co.uk/firefox

After i upgrded to 4.0 i no longer have the search box in the middle of screen. is this correct?

on the home page of firefox, i no longer have the search box in the middle of screen. my whole screen is blank except for the menu bar.

You still have the option of using the slideshow feature in the Photos app. It's not in the lock screen anymore, but it is stll available there.

How do I delete the search bar in a new tab window so that I can have nine tiles instead of only six?

I used to get nine tiles when I opened a new tab. All of a sudden I only get six with a search bar at the top. All attempts to delete the search bar have failed. I have tried changing the rows and columns in about:config, and I learned about using Ctrl/scroll to shrink the tiles to allow more on the screen. That is a hassle compared to what used to happen. Is there any way to get rid of the search bar, or is there any way to get the nine shrunken tiles to come up when I click on a new tab rather than have to scroll? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, the add on worked great. I even made a donation.

In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

Those are all fine
Here is how to see RAM overloaded…
Reboot to see the system in it's default state.
Open TextEdit for the sake of it
Open Activity Monitor & Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the Memory tab
In Terminal enter the following command
memory_pressure -l critical
# note that is a lowercase L
RAM usage will climb, compression will begin the VM will become way more than the system has installed.
Eventually the system will start swapping (look for RED) - Watch the 'memory pressure' & 'Swap used' as this happens.
Try switching to TextEdit - the system is still coping !
Switch back to Terminal & hit ctrl+c to stop the process.
Watch the VM & memory pressure return to normal levels.
This OS kicks 4ss !
Your problems may lie elsewhere

What is the address of the Firefox homepage that has a search bar? The homepage page addresses I've found don't have a search bar--one like I find on Google

Does Firefox always use Google to do searches?
I want to see my default page but "firefox.org" doesn't have a search bar.
I want to use firefox as my default browser.
Thanks,
dee

By default Firefox normally uses Google for searches, but you have many other choices.
Also note
# That the firefox searches all use the same search as that set in the search bar. That includes the searches from the address bar, and even if you right click highlighted text in a webpage.
#You can choose the search engine or install new ones [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]] [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]

How to remove the search bar in the tab strip?

My latest firefox update includes a search bar IN THE TAB STRIP on top of the page (not the one in the navigation toolbar). It takes up too much space for the tabs and it is useless (since there is already a search bar below it in the navigation toolbar). How do I remove it?

I was able to fix the problem in Safe Mode. It was an extension disguised as a Firefox original part, named itself as "firefox default tabs." I am not sure how I got it since I have not downloaded anything recently. My Kaspersky did not block anything as well. But, huge thanks!

Can I change the Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to direct searches to google.co.uk, as it currently directs me to google.fr and I do not speak French (even though I live here!).

I like the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I do find Google fairly useful (albeit that I have dumped Chrome for Firefox due to Google's constant badgering to sign-up to their social network "circles" etc) - but my gripe is that I am redirected to google.fr NOT google.co.uk (my 1st preference) or google.com (2nd preference). Yes, I am located in France. No, I am not French and most of the information I am looking for is contained on UK or US web pages. I found the same problem with the provided Google search engine in the top right bar, so removed it in favour of Yahoo (which I am not a fan of either!). Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

Why would links or search bars on the top half of the page not work on any site when i use firefox but work fine in IE?

links and search bars on the top half of pages dont work and its not that i click them and they dont work but it wont let me click them its like it doesnt see them

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.
