LOVE FIREFOX. HAVE TWO SHIRTS, AND AN AVID MEMBER SENSE 2000. Why do i have to get "google" in google search engine every time to type in the address? It wasn't always this way. :-(

Can you clarify where you need to make this change?
Which searches aren't working for you?
*searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
*search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
*search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
*other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Lately I've been getting Google searches redirected instead of going directly to the website that's supposedly linked through Google. In addition, I occasionally get a new tab opened in Firefox that asks me if I want to take a questionnaire.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Can you please stop changing my default search engine every time you update Firefox?

I would like for the developers of Firefox to respect my settings. I have taken the time to set them and do not appreciate my default search engine changed by Mozilla when updates are automatically applied. Somewhere along the lines, Mozilla hopped in bed with Yahoo. I'm not in bed with Yahoo, please keep me out of the bedroom!!!!

Agree completely. Mozilla's reputation takes a hit from affiliation with Yahoo - this is one of the reasons I've stopped automatically accepting upgrades, no matter how many times a day mozilla pushes them at me with a pop-up message.

I have tried to migrate between 2 iMacs but every time it stops at the 1 minute mark and freezes, any thoughts on how I can fix this?

I have an iMac desktop from 2009 and a brand new one, I have them connected directly, migration assistant freezes every time at the one minute mark, any idea how to fix this? it seems it has something to do with one of the profiles set up on the older computer.

Need more info. What version of OS X is on the 2009 iMac? How are you connecting them? FireWire-Thunderbolt or Ethernet?

I have been getting this (or earlier version) messages every time Firefox updates for at least a year "The Java Console extension is no longer supported and will be automatically removed the next time you restart Firefox. " What should I do?

For a long time, each time Firefox updates, it invites me to install theJava Console Update. then I get a message that Java Console not supported.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension (if you have it): Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions 
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
See http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0

I have an HP2840 running with Windows 7. Everytime I fax from the computer the print spooler STOPS.
I have to start, then stop, then start again everytime before any of my printers are available.
Is there a setting I need to change?

it sounds to me that the print spooler is crashing. Typically if the spooler crashes, when restarted it will try and process the job in the queue. If it crashes again, the job will be purged from the queue.

The new firefox twitter app is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

I have installed bearshare and now when I open firefox, my homepage disappears and the my google search engine is now bearshare which I don't want.

I installed bearshare as my program for downloading music, but after installation, my homepage has disappeared and my google search engine has changed to bear share.
I want google as my default search engine.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
''''''EDIT'''''': After you complete the above steps, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove the Bearshare Media Bar. It may be called "BMB".

How can I stop Firefox from re-setting its internet connection configuration every time I re-open the browser? It should stay at "no proxy" but doesn't.

In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.

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.

Why does firefox 4 freeze on the 1st result page of google search engine

I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday and now every time I use the google search engine my screen freezes on the first results page and will not allow me to click on any of the links on it, saying that it is not responding before eventually the screen goes white.
I tried to find a solution on the Firefox Support page but the only solution relates to McAfee Site Advisor. As I do not have this installed and never have I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me how do I fix it?
Thank you.

Hi, i had the same problem, and I also use Bullguard, I contacted them, just received answer, (in about 20 min). It is incompatibility of FF4 and bullguard (they know about it, and fix will be released soon), and probably most of the other antiviruses, as I see this is very popular problem. The solution though is very simple : in firefox disable addon "Bullguard Safe Browsing". It works. Or alternatively open bullguard go : antivirus - settings - safe browsing (unchek that). For those not using bullguard i would recommend to check their addons in FF and if there is any from your antivirus try to disable it for now.

Google search engine no longer works after upgrading to Firefox 11

I just upgraded to Firefox 11 earlier this evening. Now I'm trying to do a search with Google. I got the search results and clicked on what I wanted only to get taken to the Google home page with a new Google search engine entry box. There was a google sign-in thing but I shouldn't have to sign in just to do a search. I switched to yahoo search and got the info I wanted then switched back to google to try to figure out what on earth is going on. Now when I click on the item in the results that I want the tab at the top sort of blinks for an instant that says connecting then stops and stays on the results page. If I right-click on the item and select open in a new tab (or new page), I can go to that page, but I shouldn't have to always right click to go to a new tab or new page. It was never that way before I got to Firefox 11. Can this be fixed or do I have to just abandon google?

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].

I have created a table on pages. Somehow I have set something so a blue dot appears every time I press he space bar. How did I do it? and how do I get rid of it?

two questions-- I have created a table on pages. Somehow every time I press the space bar, I get a blue dot between words--How did I do it? and How do I get rid of it. Also, I created a template on pages--How do I "save as" for a new file using that template?

All you are seeing is the word space (from the spacebar).
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles you had Show Invisibles on.
When you are using a template it should be named "Untitled" and it will ask you to save when you go to close or you simply go to Save under the File menu.

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.
