I want to change my search engine to Google- your instructions don't work! How do I know if I have a "localized" version of Firefox?!

Just downloaded Windows 8.1 and it asked ME if I wanted to change my search engine on Mozilla - showed my the instructions, but it would not work, and then in small printing it says "this may not work because your have localized version" or some nonsense like that. I want to change my search engine on Mozilla Firefox to Google.

<blockquote>
You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

I did delete the .json files and nothing happend when I restarted firefox.
I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled from a new download. The .json files where not created. The log file shows that the search engines where installed. I opend Help>Troubleshooting information and reset firefox and that helped. All serch engines where ther and work and I can now write URL adresses in the adress box.

I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
3. Select "Bing".
4. Click the "Remove" button.
5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
6. Click "OK"
All Done.... :-)
Happy Searching...

Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. What's going on?

Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. I have to manually change it back to my preferred engine. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, how can I permanently change my search provider, instead of having to manually change it again every time I start Firefox?

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

Chatzum search engine has installed on Firefox. How can I remove it

Chatzum has installed itself on Firefox.and appears as default search engine each time I open a new tab. It does not appear in the search enhines list or as an add-on. Can you suggest how to remove it

For Firefox:
The "about:config" route suggested above, to removal of chatzum works but you need other actions:
1) You need to search for "chatzum" as well as "searchsafe" when using the about:config option. The sneaky change of address hides many things. (in all, I deleted 4 lines of code (actually only disabled them.....remnants of it remains)
2) Uninstalling chatzum via control panel (program removal option) is not enough. But you have to do that.
3) Removing from search toolbar (or search box) is a bit tricky as chatzum will have taken over and there is no chatzum logo, but its there as part of browser toolbar (if activated)......only the words "search safer" (or search safe appears in that search box). Click on the left logo area of the search box, get dropdown list of search engines. Click option "Manage Search Engine"...........remove "searchsafe", (and Yahoo if you want to next choose Google as the default. Otherwise if you have a YTD or yahoo toolbar, somehow they will prevent you going Google in the Search box! Afternote: This however may be because I did not restart the browser..........seems to have resolved itself even with the Yahoo option left in the list......actually I removed it, but somehow it re-installed itself there in the list!).
4) all that should have removed it. But if it appears as home page when you turn on browser: You have to change it to default opening in blank page (about:home) or go to Google search and make that your home page. Go to google search first then by clicking on browser "tools" option and setting your home page from there.
So this removes chatzum when new tab is activated. Removes it as default in Search engine bar. Removes it from home page of browser!
so far I have covered some of the appearances of chatzum..........who knows what other dirty tricks are hidden......It should be considered malware (by definition = unwanted, disruptive, undemocratic) by all the antivirus programs, but it is not. Stay tuned.

I want the drop down search engine back..vastly superior .no rhetoric

takes an extra click.what if i am surfing amazon ? making choices a visual self evident protocol is always simpler in the long run.some people tend to be a bit dyslexic .its not a fear .some refer to it as muscle memory .i play the guitar today in E tuning and now it is in D tuning .some things just work fine .leave it alone! create a option to change ;not a mandatory one!

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

Are there any known issues with the epub plugin causing firefox to revert search engine back to yahoo and then disabling the ability to change search settings?

My wife recently added a plugin, epub reader. Upon starting up Firefox the next day she noticed that the default search engine was changed back to Yahoo after we previously fixed this. Furthermore the ability to change search settings was grayed out. After epub reader was removed the problem was solved. I am surprised that I am unable to find anything written to this end about epub reader. Is this a tool promoted and distributed by Yahoo?
Incidentally, how much would each user need to contribute to get mozilla away from Yahoo? Yahoo is, in my opinion, little more than an advertising vehicle, and not a real search engine.

I went to Costco today and asked long known VZW Kiosk rep re what phone would he recommend...DX, DI or Fascinate.
Not to my surprise, I was told that DX is the best of those three. Given the fact that all three is the same price $199, it indicates that is has nothing to do with price.
When I acquired him about how Fascinate sales going, rep told me that since that phone went for sale this Thursday, local Costco only sold 10 Fascinate but that not all...7 of them were returned back to Costco by Saturday. That is a 70% return rate which seems to be way too high for the high level smartphone.
At the same time, local Costo VZW kiosk can't keep up with demand of the DX, they are being sold out as soon as they are getting them. I am not advertising for DX here as I am myself briefly owned DX as soon as it was released and its problem with reboot forced me to return it as I didn't want to deal with replacement as I had bad experience in the past two years with VZW replacing my phones every two to three month with replacement phone being worse then the one that is being replaced.
There is no such a thing as a perfect smartphone (sorry to all iPhone fans) but VZW should take a special "achievement" award for screwing up such a wonderful phone as Galaxy S.
I can only hope that either DX with 2.2 will be better than the one with 2.1 or I will wait for what is coming up with HTC in November.

After upgrading to the newest Firefox, the default search engines disappeared from my search bar. Why and how do I correct this? (Also: every time I download a Google search add-on, it goes away upon closing/re-opening FF)

I'm referring, of course, to the search bar located next to the URL window; prior to upgrading to the newest FF, I had the capability of choosing from several standard engines and never experienced any problems but following the upgrade, there are no engines available to choose from and I have only been able to find versions of Google search other than the standard one in the available Add-ons I am shown when I go to 'add new search engine' (as there are no engines displayed) via the 'manage search engines' drop down option.
Furthermore, I have downloaded a search engine Add-on numerous times (most often, if not always, Informative Google Search) and it functions just fine, but upon FF restart, its back to having no default engines to choose from.
I have searched Google forever looking for an answer to why this is happening and had no luck with my specific problem, so I've come to where I figured the most savvy FF users dwell - hope you guys got some insight cause it's really pissing me off at this point, hahahaha.
