I want GOOGLE search default AND Restore Session Button. HOW?

As stated. My default search on the about:home Mozilla Firefox Start Page changed from Google to Yacrap! when updating from 6.0 to 6.0.1. Found older (http://www.google.com/firefox) but no Restore Previous Session button.
Did Firefox change this or has something unknown hijacked my browser? No other changes at all except update. Uninstalled and installed v6.0 again, same issue.

'''Thank you wbddaniela for your reply.''' I am familiar with changing the search engine next to the address bar (called "location bar" in Firefox? Why be different on that? Anyway...) However, I am referring to the Mozilla Firefox Start Page <about:home> that includes a text bar under the Firefox logo with a <Search> button at the right end of the text bar. Underneath that is an advertising/announcement area and then a wide area underneath that that is a large <Restore Previous Session> button.
The Firefox Start Page on mine used to be a Google search <http://www.google.com/firefox> Am I missing something? Has the "standard" start page always been Yahoo! but I had customized mine to Google? I really like having both the large Restore Previous Session button (it's a great reminder when needed) and the convenience of the large Search Bar (it's *right there* and not 'off to the side,') but Yahoo!? UGH!
Is there a customization that will include the Restore with the Google search? In this day and age of customization, must I be forced to choose which to "live without?"

  • I lost the Google search window and don't know how to get it back, can someone tell me how?.

    I lost the Google search window and don't know how to get it back, can someone tell me how?

    Depending on which version of Safari you are running the search is as Thomas states. The address bar is the search and address bar on Safari 6. Prior to that, one of two things will get it back.
    First is going up to the menu bar and choosing View>Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar", then this isn't the issue and the toolbar is already present.
    Second. Assuming the first step didn't fix the issue, you can go again to the menu bar and choose View>Customize Toolbar. Inside the window that opens you should see a google search that you can drag and place back where it used to be on the toolbar area. Then just press "Done".

  • Google search eng and "Restore Defaults" are no longer available. FF 13.0

    After updating to FF 13.0 I noticed the search box no longer had any engine symbols in it. Entering a search term, nothing happened, and no error message.
    What happened to Google search engine?

    Try this extension:

    See also;
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines
    If the searchplugins folder is empty then you need to reinstall Firefox.<br />
    It will probably work if you reinstall Firefox on top of the current installation, but if not then you need the delete the Firefox program folder.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Your site was built using tables, whose sizes are defined in your site.
    If we look at your first table definition, we can see:
    <table width="861" height="1449" border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#868787">
    Your table has a width of 861 pixels and an overall height of 1449 pixels. Anything you put into that overall box must fit those dimensions, else
    it won't be visible. Anything you add above it will push everything down. You can redefine your sizing to let you edit more inside of the table elements.
    This is why, when you type in more text, things act weird. If you are in Dreamweaver, you must find the right cell to put your text into and then enter
    text there. Unfortunately, this is going to push things around, which were all lined up using tables. And this gets everything offset with respect to
    everything else in your website.
    And that is why everyone is saying, "Start Over!"
    I just inherited a website that has been put together using tables. I'm going to have to expend considerable effort in rewriting the entire design of the
    website because of that. because everything I intend to add to the pages on the site is going to need to be deconstructed in order to get it to work
    properly if I'm adding text and pictures that need to line up with each other.
    You need something done quick and dirty and the only way I can recommend you do that is to use Dreamweaver to show you the tables you have
    and put what you need in a new table that is defined above or below the tables you all ready have defined. Do that and then get back to someone here
    who knows how to make a website correctly to clean up your entire website and make it editable -- which will cost you some money, but it will be
    money well-spent.
    I like to quote this maxim: Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two. This works for website design. You can get it fast and cheap, but it won't be good. I
    think you may have chosen that route.

  • If I click on a google search link and return with the back arrow on the browser it takes me to the top of the page and not the link I just opened unlike Internet explorer

    I run a search on google.com and click on a link that comes up near the bottom of the page, After I read it and then use the back arrow (pointing left) to return to the searches it takes me to the top of the page to the first link google found rather than the link I just looked at. This does not happen with other web pages using firefox or Internet Explorer's Browser (using google).

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.

  • Google Search defaulting to Facebook Login

    When I try to search using the Google search engine on my iPad, it automatically re-routes me to Facebook. I have even tried typing in "www.google.com" in the Safari web address field, and even then it takes me straight to the Facebook login page. Help? This has only been happening for a few days and I don't know how to fix it. I've temporarily switched my default search engine to Yahoo, and I am not a fan, but it's all I can do when I want to search for something.
    How can I get this fixed?? Any ideas??

    Try clearing the browser cache: Open the Settings app > Safari > then tap Clear History and then Clear Cookies and Data.

  • On my Macbook, with google homepage, it often begins looping onto google search page and will not allow me to access any websites either by clicking on one, or typing address in. in page

    I use google as my homepage. Very often( every day at some point) when I search a subject and click on the address, a google search page come up with list of choices. When I click on address it simply returns to this page and will not let me access any websites either by clicking on them, opening in new window or tab, nor allowing me to access anything from the address line. When this occurs, it just keeps looping into this page. I clear cache, shut down, and try everything possible. Occurs very randomly and never when I first turn on the computer. ???????

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    * Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    * Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I have a problem with searching , for ex i want to searching facebook and and he does not seek

    I want to give the search, and he was not looking. For example are on yahoo, i search facebook and he dont search still looking on yahoo

    Its a good practice to search from within the websites themselves IE: log into facebook and use their localized search engine to find people/info. Same goes for Youtube etc. Broadbased searches using google, yahoo etc are fine but their results will be very broad and only as direct as your search criteria.

  • Most search engines are not working, only Google Search works and I get 404 file not found error when clicking the links.

    I have been trying virus killers, malware software from microsoft, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, I used the option to change all my options to the basic default installed options, I am able to search without problems using Internet Explorer on all search engines, Google Search engine works in firefox browser; but all the links give the 404 file not found error. Links from my Gmail account do not work either...giving me the 404 error. Firefox is much faster than Internet explorer however, this link problem makes me wonder if firefox is really any good.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Firefox crashes suddenly when I search for anything through the Google search bar and on certain websites.

    I have followed all the steps, including updating everything, opening Firefox in safe mode, resetting Firefox.
    The crash occurred the first time every time I tried to access coyotes.nhl.com and now it has started to do it every time I search for something in the Google search bar. It loads the search results but then it just crashes a couple of seconds later.
