I STILL haven't got the Google search box

Please stay with your original question thread, here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976608 ''Locking this as a duplicate.''
STILL haven't had anyone tell me how to get the Google search box back. All I get is a blank page with the little Google logo in blue on atab. Nothing for images, search etc. In fact I CAN'T Google search any more.
I'm giving it one more week, then will dump Firefox off my computer in favour of Chrome. Sorry.

Hi Kyle,
Is the email address you use here on the forums the same one you used to register for MAX?

I am an old customer and I still haven't got the final bill yet.

I am an old customer and I still haven't got the final bill yet. I called Verizon several times but they were not helpful. They said they will send but it has been more than 10days. Is there any way I can get the final bill (PDF) via email?

After 5calls and 1 Verizon store visit, I was able to get the final bill. It was crazy complicated annoying since it seems they didn't want to care about old customer. Some representatives just hung up the call when I asked more about the detail. I think I made really good choice I escaped from their service after I had been with them over 10 years.

Can't get the Google search box in toolbar

I've been working on getting my new iMac 27" with Mountain Lion functional, and now I've run into a problem I don't seem to find others are having -- I can't get the Google search box into the toolbar. It just won't go there. I've dragged the thing from the View>Customize Toolbar, and I've also tried dragging the whole toolbar, and nothing sticks. I get a little green plus symbol, as if it's adding it to the toolbar, release, and then...nothing. As much as I like Duck Duck Go, there are still things I need the old Goog for, and I'm bewildered by why this won't stick. There don't seem to be any actual settings for it either, just the drag and drop.
This whole setup has been beyond frustrating. I wish I'd never upgraded.

Safari 6
Apple combined Google search bar with URL address bar in Safari 6.
Apple calls it Smart Search Field.
There is no more a separate search field. You enter the Google search in the unified address bar.
Best.

PROBLEM WITH AUTO POPULATE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH BOX

When I type in the google search box it auto populates search terms as it always has. However since upgrading to FF4 when I click on the one I want to go to ... nothing happens. I have to type the full search every time. I don't see this issue anywhere in the forum, am I the only one having this problem?

How Firefox is opened should not matter.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
know what each one is and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

When using the Google search box in the upper right corner, midway through typing the search subject, Firefox switches to the Yahoo search box in the middle of the screen. This is very annoying and happens on both home and work computers.

Seems like Yahoo is the new Firefox default browser.

Then why not get rid of the Google search box if it's not going to work?

What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad? I have no problems accessing it from my laptop. Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble. However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
How do I fix?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it.
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

HT4623 I haven't got the software update box

I'm trying to update my iPad but I haven't got the software update box to click on

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

Previous history items in the Google search box don't open when clicked. How can I fix this please? Thanks.

With the Google search box installed with Firefox 4.01, when I open the drop down list of previous searches and click on on to access a previous search topic instead of opening that site, nothing happens.

So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
What are your current default font settings?
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

The clear history in the google search box no longer works

I'm using firefox 3.6.16. Suddenly the clear history link on the google search bar is not working. I can clearch history under tools but not within the search bar ,I don't know how to correct the problem. Can someone tell me what to do?

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Also, I think the Ask toolbar (add-on) has been reported to create problems with the links in Google search results. You could try disabling it here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
A search also turned up an issue with the HTTPS Everywhere add-on: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/867796 Google links redirect to Google homepage, not the link itself! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

The Google Search Box won't respond and I can't composing an email in AOL won't work. I've tried on both my laptop and desktop computers. I have Firefox 3.6.8 and am a Mac user. It's not my cache because this empties everytime I close out. I've never

When typing in a google search, nothing happens. I try hitting return or clicking on search and nothing happens. I can however search by going into Advanced Search and retyping my query. I also have to retry repeated now to get an active window when I want to compose an email in aol. The window will pop up and nothing is active. This has been happening for a couple weeks now. I also have found that many times the AOL toolbar won't work...buttons are inactive and I have to quit Firefox and reload several time to access any of Firefox or AOL toolbar buttons.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.google.com; http://www.aol.com

If you can't get AOL to talk you thru it, then it's time to stop using AOL.
You are paying extra for a useless service. You already pay (and HAVE TO PAY) to the internet company that gives you the internet modem and conneciton to the internet, and they are be giving you 1-5 free email addresses with that account. (call them if you never set them up).
There is no guarantee you don't have a problem with your mail setup on your computer, but this is the right time for you to set up your [email protected] accounts, download all your AOL mail including your address book (FROM AOL'S WEBISTE via Safari) to your hard drive, make sure you are using an external drive with Time Machine and doing daily if not hourly backups, and start sending emails to your friends and family and business from the new mail account(s).
Otherwise you can call someone who saves computers and AOL accounts for a living and pay them $25- $100 hour....

The cursor in the Google search box flashes but is not activated

I asked this question on the Google forum but was directed to the Mozilla forum. i know I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution. I have no extensions installed. i don't understand how a cursor can appear activated without actually working. i have to click in the search box before the cursor starts to work.
Is this caused by Google or Firefox?
I am using Windows 7 .
Thanks for any help.

In the google search box, when i click the dropdown suggestion, it does not register the suggestion in the box, what goes wrong

i have just upgraded my firefox 3 to firefox 4, with V3 i can click the dropdown suggestion and search, now with V4 the clicked suggestion does not go to the search box. i have used the search tool and ticked the enable box, still it has not worked.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
