I have a twitter search bar by my navigation bar and I have never used twitter in my life and want to eliminate it

I have only used Firefox for a couple of weeks. It worked fine at first, but at one point it started a problem of me not being able to navigate through web sites or within a web sight easily. I could click on the arrows for back and forward and more than half the time, it wouldn't work. if I kept clicking, maybe it would work. I noticed a "Twitter" search bar for the first time and have been trying to get rid of that and use the Bing search bar, but can't do it. I downloaded the Bing search bar but can't get it installed. The Twitter bar is worse than useless.

I was finally able to get rid of the Twitter search bar. I clicked on the tiny down pointing triangle right after the Twitter icon and selected Bing.
I'm still not sure if it corrected the problem with my back and forward arrows. Before, I could click on them at times and get a " Waiting for "whoever'" and a blank screen or the same page I was looking at before. I could click several times and it would finally work. I could usually click on my Home icon and it would work, but EVERYTHING was very uncertain. I am still experiment to see how often it still happens, but I stopped using Microsoft IE because of a similar problem. When I first installed Firefox, it was fine, but I was trying to work on cookie retention or rejection and I believe that is when it got screwed up.

  • I used to have a google search window in my navigation bar. Some download installed Yahoo to my dismay and I can't find where to uninstall it and reinstall Google.

    I downloaded PDF creator from Sourceforge.net. Apparently I agreed to have my navigation bar searcher become Yahoo, replacing Google.

    Thanks for getting back to me. As soon as I posted this question I noticed the "down arrow" next to the Yahoo icon in the search window. Lo and behold, clicking on it reveals choices, such as: Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Answers, ...Wikipedia etc. One can change searchers that easily.

  • HT5621 Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icliid account and I will have mine. how do I do it?

    Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icloud account and I will have mine.
    1. how do I do it?
    2. how do I  transfer her stuff which is in my icloud storage to her new icloud account once this one is created?
    thanks,
    Ari

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her amera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of the notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

    I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

    iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5.  Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue.  It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery?  It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage).  When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark.  It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
    Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps.  Thanks!

  • HT4899 I have NEVER used my icloud email address and am now getting spam mail to services I have NEVER signed up to.  Should I conclude from this that Apple have sold my details on?

    I have NEVER used my icloud email address and am now getting spam mail to services I have NEVER signed up to.  Should I conclude from this that Apple have sold my details on?
    To tell me to mark it as spam is just not good enough.  I do not want this rubbish cluttering my inbox.

    Nobody want to receive spam, but it's a fact of life. Apple is certainly not selling your address on to spammers, and it's possible that the spammer has been guessing at possible addresses and has hit on yours.
    A good third-party program for dealing with spam is SpamSieve - after a training period it's very good at identifying spam and shunting it to a Spam folder where you can check it and delete at your leisure. It works with iCloud.

  • How to disable placeholder text in the URL and search fields of the navigation bar?

    Everytime I open a new tab (frequently, home page is set to blank) I have to look at "Go to a Website" in the navigation bar. The search field shows the name of the currently active search engine until text is inputed. All I want is to be able to do is disable the placeholder text, showing both fields as blank.

    Thank you. Worked fine. For anyone who comes across this in the future, change "graytext" to "transparent" to hide the placeholder all the time. As is above, the placeholder shows when the mouse points at the box.

  • How do I change the default search engine in the navigation bar?

    I have tried the about:config solution and it did not work. My search engine used to be Google but it has changed to some random search engine that doesn't even have an official name. there is not option in the drop down menu. And there is no option in the FireFox Options. I am wondering why it is so hard to change something like this. there should be a button for those of us that aren't computer savvy. Am getting irritated that i can't just search something anymore.

    hello please install the search reset addon in order to revert to the default search engine:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    also make sure that you don't have any toolbars or 3rd-party programs installed that might overwrite the search behaviour in firefox

    Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

    How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

    Some images are copy-protected.
    If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image: 
    With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
    Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
    You can now edit and use this image.
    Be sure to respect copyrights.

  • I have an export pdf account that i paid for - close to $100. never used it. now adobe acrobat can't recognize me and merge accounts?

    Why can't the accounts be merged and also be credited for what i paid to this already.?

    Hi tweedy41,
    Pleasesee Adobe ID, sign in, and account help. You'll need to Contact Customer Care  to have your accounts reconciled. I was able to find the account under the same email address that you use here in the forums. It looks like you ordered a subscription today, but that order hasn't processed yet.
    A Customer Care agent should be able to help you get things sorted out.
    Best,

  • My mini-mac is in guest mode. I can not exit this an return to administrator mode. I have tried unplugging from internet and all devices and restarting. Also used all the F keys and the Control, Alt. Delete keys and numerous other combinations. Help

    Computer will not boot up to administrator page for sign in and password. It goes to Guest page where I can browse the internet with Yahoo, but can not connect to Safari. It does not show Dock with Applications at all; therefore I can not access network settings or any applications to get out of this mode. I have disconnected every thing connected to the mini-mac and left over night before reconnecting. Same problem as before; then used all F buttons to try to recover factory settings, again nothing help ! Used various combinations of Escape, Delete, Control and Alternate keys. Held D key down while restarting computer and nothing has worked for me at this time. Any suggestions would be appreciated at this time!
