In the Google topic box, why do I have to click in it even thoght the cursors is in it blinking?

On the Google start page, which I have Mozilla defaulted to, the cursor is in the topic box area. So when I type nothing happens until I click inside the box, then I can start typing. This started being an issue in 3.6 for me. Is there any fix or setting to eliminate this annoying extra work type thing?

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why can I not access ICloud mail on Mac Mail anymore. When I reopen a new ICloud account, the "incoming server" box is gray and I cannot enter anything. This happened the 3-4 times I attempted to start a new icloud account?

Was getting ICloud mail then it stopped. Icons next to ICloud on my mac mail say it's a netweork error. I tried deleting the iCloud account several times and reentering it but it always leaves out the info that goes into the "incoming server" box and there is no way to manually enter it as the box is grayed out.

Sign out of iCloud (system preference>iCloud) reboot and sign back in.

Why do I have to insert a slug to get the right outpoint?!??!

I have a timeline with audio/video, a background and a title/close graphic. In just about any other editing program on the planet, one would mark in/out, and the program would be smart enough to know that you wanted to include all the tracks in your output unless you explicity told it to ignore something. On that same premise, ALL pro editing tools would also know that you'd want to, you know, use the actual in/out that you set in your output. But no - it would appear that X thinks otherwise and forces the editor to put a slug at the end of your primary storyline in order to catch the elements you want. Why? This is such a stupid timesuck that I am certain I must be doing something wrong and/or missing a step along the way.
Pictures may help explain what I am talking about....Here's my timeline:
So, I have set the playhead at the end of my close graphic, but note where the 'range' selector says my outpoint will be. I can't even select the outpoint of the graphic - the program won't let me and instead insists on using the last part of the primary storyline as my out - despite there being content that extends beyond it. I thought Apple wanted us editors to "abandon the timeline"????
Instead, I am forced to do an opt/w and insert a slug - as shown here - in order to output the correct content:
NOW I can output that last bit of content! But why force the editor to go through the extra step of inserting a slug?!?!?!?! To many, this may seem like a trial complaint. But when you're in a production-factory environment and cranking these things out by the boatload - the extra steps mean lost time and wasted energy.
As I stated earlier, I strongly suspect that the problem is the part behind the keyboard. At least I am hoping so... No pro editing solution should be this stupid. That should be left to the editor...

So if you are as busy as you say you are - maybe you should not be using X. The ******* and moaning is old news dude.
See, here's the rub, Paul. I love working with X. I was initially one of the people that DID jump ship from 7 to PP because X freaked me out, and in the early days - it was pretty far removed from the tool it is now. Apple has made tons and tons of awesome improvements to the platform and I can now edit circles around the other two editors in the shop - one on PP and one on 7. I've been editing for over 20 years, so while I was pretty darn set in my ways - I was eager to figure out a new way of working if that meant more speed, more posibilities, and more flexibility. Since I've made the total-jump to X, I've found all 3.
But how did all those changes happen between the inital offering of X and what it is now? Yeah, you got it - the ******** and moaning from the users about stupid, bone headed workflow ops like having to insert a slug in order to output the content you need to versus just using I/O and being done with it. When Apple has NOT addressed something that the majority of users have complained about, 9 times out of 10 - someone out there makes a plugin for it that addresses the problem. I was hoping for someone to say "Oh - yea go get plugin XYZ and be done with it.." (Like, say, the brilliant decision to leave out the ability to rotate something around the Z axis, the lack of a garbage matte, and others...).
It turns out that this is "just the way it is" - at least for now, so I'll deal with the frustration. The rest of X is pretty great.
Your reply was frustrating this morning because instead of simply offering "Nope! That's the way it works" - you elected to attempt to school me and publicly shame me by telling me to RTFM. Far from helpful, and borderline confrontational. Neither of which I've ever been able to grow fond of. Thus, the offer for a cup of Joe - which still stands. A quick Google of your username shows you as someone that knows a lot about a lot, and I certainly feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
As for Mr. Innocentius... Maybe something a little stiffer would benefit you, of which I would also be happy to provide. Thanks for your enlightening comment.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store
