How can I turn off Safari's Google search auto complete off ?

I do know if I am using the right word, so I will post the picture
When you type something in the search bar, Google will automatically complete it for you. It's very annoying to me, how can I turn it off?

Go to Safari in the menu bar/Preferences/Privacy last check box, Smart Search Field, Prevent search engine from providing suggestions.

How can we turn off auto-correction in the forum search?

This recent auto-correction in the forum search is driving me nuts. It is way too overzealous. There is no way to win the fight!
Example:
Try to search for "voight" (the famous lineshape).
It seaches for "right" instead
There is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that.
So far so good.
Now I want to limit searching for only my posts, so I enter "altenbach" on the left.
Now the search term switches back to "right" .... grrrrr!!!!! (see video)
Again, there is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that. (see video)
Now we are back to #5, because the "by altenbach" has disappeared again. (see video)
Repeat steps 5..8 forever. No escape to get what we actually want.
In the video you see how the "by altenbach" disappears once we click on "search instead for voight".
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Preferences - Code Editor - Completion Insight - uncheck Change case as you type
Have fun,

'''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.

How can I turn OFF Google instant ,and remove the Magnifying glass Hinderance

Firefox recently asked me to upgrade from 3.6.13 to 3.6.15 stating that 3.6.15 was more stable and addressed certain security issues. When doing a web search with Google through Firefox 3.6.13 I had the option (on the right hand side of the page) to either enable or DISABLE Google instant search which I rapidly did. Unfortunately in F-F 3.6.15 even though I select Instant search and [preview of webpage] to be OFF it seems to switch itself back on again.It only allows me to search one page Then Fades Out page 2 onwards and then Siezes up entirely. So am constantly having to switch Firefox off then start it up again before performing a new search. Please help me to permanently Disable Google Instant search and Preview of Webpage.

How can I turn off "Google Suggest" in Firefox. I hate it! hate it! hate it!

Firefox used to allow turning off "Google Suggest", but that's not possible with recent updates. I never, never, never (never!) want what "Google Suggest" insists on presenting to me. It's really inconvenient and a time waster.

Do you mean when you type a search, it will give a list of things before you have finished?, a pain....I'm sure there is something to the right of the search box that has a drop down menu, you can de-select it from there
hope this helps

How can I turn off the the big orange window that keeps opening on top of Google since the last firefox update installed.

Since the last mozilla/firefox update whenever I go online, google and mozilla/firefox open at the same time and I can not see google since mozille/firefox (a big orange window) opens on top of google. I read everything in the window but there doesn't seem to be an "off" button for this big orange window.

Hi pamerritt,
Are you saying you always see the "Welcome to Firefox" message? If so, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I turn off dashboard from middle click on magic mouse?

As the title says:
Whenever I have a gesture set up on my magic mouse to hit middle click, it automatically does the dashboard. This I don't want, and I cannot for the life of me work out how the **** to disable the dashboard from middle click.
Any help?
Suresh

I was getting the same problem, I have Jitouch installed, but that really wasn't the issue, it was a setting in the system preferences as sureshk mentioned. It took me a little bit to figure out where the setting is located in case someone else has the same issue.
System Preferences > Expose & Spaces (Snow Leopard & earlier) or Mission Control (Lion & later)
The keyboard and mouse shortcuts are at the bottom. My "Show Dashboard" was set for F12 and Middle Click

How can I turn off 3 finger swiping and 3 finger clicking that opens Desktop?

I've got a problem that's driving me mad.
Every now and again I accidentally swipe my Magic Mouse, or click it with 3 fingers, and it pushes all the windows to the top and side, and goes into 'Desktop', it's really very annoying and there's no option to turn this off. I'm not 100% sure what gesture is causing this, but I juts want to turn the option to go to Desktop off, or the mouse will have to go in the bin.
I've downloaded Magic Prefs, but it doesn't seem to help.
Anyone got any ideas?

The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control. You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.

How can I turn off touchpad tap click?

I need to turn off the tap click on the touchpad of my dv4. I turned it off when I first got the laptop a little more than a year ago, but apparently something in a recent upgrade turned it back on. There is no icon in the task bar to change the properties like there was before. There is nothing under mouse properties related to the touchpad or tapping. I don't like the tap click. It really messes me up when I am typing. I know I can easily turn the touchpad on and off, but that is not a good solution.

The Touchpad on my HP Mini 210-1015TU is a nuisance when I am typing so I had it disabled. For some unknown reason it has suddenly been enabled again. Can anyone please tell me how I can DISABLE THE TOUCHPAD so I can use the normal mouse via the USB port. Thanks!

When I click "edit" to manage content on a web page, I see code instead of text and images. How can I fix this?

I edit content on www.fomh.org. Until recently, I could sign in as administrator, click "edit" in the editable area of a web page, and proceed to update text and images. I have been using Firefox to do this for several years. Now when I attempt to do this, I see all the html code in the editable area instead of the text and images.
I am using Mac OS 10.6.8

What is the content of that window?

How can I turn off instant search in History?

When I use the search function of History to find an old page, it significantly slows down my computer since the instant search feature is on (like Google instant). Most of the time, Firefox just freezes for a few seconds. So, how do I disable this annoying feature in Firefox History?

To the best of my knowledge, you can't disable it. You can go to Settings>Spotlight Search and uncheck all of the boxes this way if you pull it down, you can't accidentally click anything. Other than that you can't do it without jailbreaking. Hope this helps.
