Modify google search bar to search on google.at

I have an english version of FF installed on my company Notebook, and since we enter the Web through our Proxy in UK, Mozilla obviously assigned UK as the country I want to start searching, in to the Google search bar.
How can I change that it becomes google.at as starting point of searches in the search bar?

Reset your search

In order to change the default search engine or the order of search engines in the top right search box in Firefox, please perform the following steps:
#Move the mouse cursor inside the search box at the top right of the Firefox window and click the down arrow next to the provider's logo.
#If you would like to select another search engine, simply pick the engine from the dropdown list.
In order to change the order of the search engines, do this:
#From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.
#In the upcoming window, you have all your search engines listed. To change the order, simply click one search engine and then select ''Move up'' or ''Move down'' from the buttons on the right side in order to change the order of the search engines.

  • The little search bar used to keep Google search phrase showing but in Firefox 5.0 it doesn't. How do I get that feature back?

    I'm not sure what the feature is technically called. I have Google as the start page and use that to search.
    In older versions of Firefox, after entering a search phrase in the main Google search bar, the phrase was shown next to a little Google icon. It was usually below the bar showing the URL I happened to click on.
    I could then open a new tab and click on the little Google icon and get more search results in that new tab. I could then compare web pages on different tabs.
    Maybe I have set the tabs function up differently? In any case, I hope there is a way to use the same search phrase in different tabs.
    Thanks.

    You're welcome

  • Location/search bar always searches Google US instead of AU

    Whenever I search google using the location bar OR the search bar, the results are always from google.com. But I live in Australia, and want the Australian google results. Google performs searches normally every other way.
    How can I force Firefox to use the AU search?
    Thanks.

    Try [http://www.google.com.au/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com.au/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= ] http://www.google.com.au/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    Note the space at the end, this is needed for the search to work.

  • Why does Firefox redirect my Google search bar queries to the Google homepage?

    Whenever I type a query on the search bar (set to Google), the browser would load the results - then a second later, it redirects the results page to the Google homepage.
    How can I prevent this from happening? I would like the results page to stay, as per normal :(

    OK, it's the OptimizeGoogle extension. Disabled, and it subsides.
    But I never had this problem as recently as last week, even with that extension enabled.

  • Searching in search bar takes me to Google China!

    Hi, Updated to FF13 when it told me. However, now when I use the Google search bar in the top right, it takes me to google China or some other silly country with messed up symbols.
    URL is https://www.google.com/ But it is certainly not english version like normal
    Please help!!

    [IMG]http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/carsey2006/googlemessup.jpg[/IMG]
    That is what I see when I do a search for any topic.
    My IP shows as my local exchange town in the UK, 2 miles away from home, so Google cannot be getting a dodgy reading there.
    Before I upgraded/updated to FF13, the search bar always used to use google.co.uk for its searches, now it uses some .com site over a secure connection and in a foreign language.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • How can I adjust the search bar to search within a specific website?

    I used to use Chrome (still miss it a little bit), but Firefox has continually grown on me.
    One feature I do miss from Chrome being able to search within a specific website from the search bar. For example, I was able to type in amazon.com, then pressing tab, and type in a specific search term, such as "The Terminator." When I pressed enter after typing "The Terminator," Chrome would automatically take me to Amazon's search results for "The Terminator."
    And it wouldn't just be Amazon either; pretty much any site that had a searchable database, Chrome would be capable of utilizing this feature. Is there any way to replicate that in Firefox?

    hello crachor, probably keyword search can offer you a similar functionality in firefox: [[How to search IMDB, Wikipedia and more from the address bar]]

  • Middle click new search bar's search for with should open in a new tab.

    Is there a setting anywhere to enable middle clicking on alternative search engines in the new search bar to open in a new tab.

    You can set this pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to open the results in a new tab.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: <b>browser.search.openintab</b> = true
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Is there any way to combine adress bar and search bar on Safari like Google Chrome does?

    I just want to know if there's any plug-in or option to combine those two bars to have just one like in Google Chrome

    Yep, one of the many useful things done by Glims!
    If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
    http://www.machangout.com/
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
    (It adds items to Safari Preferences).
    Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
    http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
    Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

  • How to type a URL if Google search bar removed for privacy

    Because it appears that in Safari it is impossible to remove the Google Search Bar that's off to the right at the top without also removing the now connected URL Location bar to its left, I removed both. I had noticed that when I did this in Camino, I could still go to a web page by clicking Command L for Open Location (found in the File dropdown menu of most browsers).
    But in Safari just now, when I remove the Google search bar that Apple has hard coded to be inseparable from the Location bar to its left, I find I cannot use the File / Open Location command (which I mentioned is Command key - L) and therefore -- is my browser useless if I do not want to document my travels on the world wide web with Google's databases by having the Search Bar up?
    In other words is it not possible to enter a URL into Safari in a blank and open the URL Location if you remove the Google Search Bar?
    Is the only way to get to a webpage after removing that item to use one's old bookmarks to get to a page?
    Or is this a bug and is my "Command key - L" (Open Location command) supposed to be working? I also started to test this with Firefox but it appears my Firefox browser does not have this problem so my Open Location bar remains even if I remove a search bar and the removable search bar it does have is not tied to google in particular, I don't think, in Firefox even if I remove the search bar though I never use a search bar anyway because I don't care to go to any search engine unless I type their URL into my Location bar personally. That's just my preference because I don't trust having third party search bars forced into the browser design.
    Is this really true as it appears that there's no way to open a Location in Safari without having the annoying Search Bar up? Is Open Location disabled without the Google Search bar?
    If so, it looks like that, of my several browsers, the only one that won't allow me to Open Location (go to a webpage that I type into a Location bar) if I remove the Google Search bar is Safari. I am finding I can successfully extricate myself from Google search if I use Opera, Camino, and Firefox and select Remove after right clicking on the search bar.
    Why would the industry be trying to force this Google data mining and surf habits info collection on people? Evidently because Apple would rather take the money from google for forcing google into our browser than protect its customers privacy? I hope this disease does not spread to the other browsers left for me to use. What a monopoly google is building. Too bad antitrust litigation is dead.
    (If this is true, this is depressing to me because I had set Safari to be my primary browser. But it seems the least secure browser anyway (compared to using NoScript with Firefox) so I guess I'll have to avoid using it (except on those few pages that won't work without it) until Apple starts taking people's privacy a little more seriously instead of sneaking in more and more features that force us into an unholy logging relationship with Big Brother Google. And I'm disappointed in this development also because I used to like Google before I realized its lawyers were so dedicated to writing privacy policies that are as vague as possible and as unprotective of privacy as possible. I would like to use Google more if they would just stop taking 100 miles when a person gives an inch by using their search engine. I get nervous any time I have to use anything connected with them as things stand and I really wish that would improve and that google will improve its privacy policies rather than finding new ways to log every movement a person makes on the Web.)

    The question posed in this thread was:
    How do I type a URL such as "www.apple.com" etc. into a blank in SAFARI to go to the URL if I remove the Google search bar?
    I cannot seem to get Open Location (Command - L) to function if I remove the Google search bar. Removing the Google Search Bar seems to also remove the location bar to type into. This is not the case in Opera, Camino, or Firefox, so I am wondering if my Safari is just corrupted. If the only way to have the option of Open Location (Command L) is to put the Google Search bar back in, which means the two are connected, does that mean that Google is able to record all url's typed in the Location bar even if you don't use the Search bar? I believe the story used to be that any time you type a url into a google search engine, google records your IP and search; so I'm wondering if Apple has now set up the Location bar in Safari in a deal with Google to let Google track every URL you type into the location bar if it is the case that the Location bar is inseparable from Google Search.

  • Safari search bar searches google russia

    I have just had a problem with safari. When I use the search bar it searches using google russia. I have solved the problem by resetting safari but I wanted to know what causes this and specifically is it a security issue.

    Hello Buzzinhornet,
    This is what Safari's default googe bar looks like w/out add ons , as you describe yours.
    Did you check your google bar Preferences, & click save preferences, before resetting Safari?
    p.s , do you use DNS values in System Preferences->Networks->Show: Airport or Ethernet ->TCP/IP-> DNS Server:? Can be helpful if you find you are being highjacked, or redirected.

  • When i select and try to load a page from the google search bar firefox freezes - firefox 4 win 7 bullguard antivirus.

    When I search for something in the google search bar, the search completes but if I select a result firefox freezes and will not load the page. Pages load ok from bookmarks.

    Were you typing in the search box on the Navigation Toolbar, or in the search box on a Google page?
    Did the entire browser turn upside down, or just the page content?
    Because you posted from IE10, the forum didn't capture any information about your plugins or extensions. Rather than compile a list, you might just try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Can you replicate the problem?
    Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule those out as well, you can disable them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any difference?

  • I had a Google search bar before now with Firefox 5 I have no search bar at all?

    I have updated to Firefox 5 and now I have no search bar. I had Google before, but when I tried to download this it said it was not compatible with Firefox 5.
    Now I have no search box.

    I had this same problem, but you can add the search bar back by going to View > Toolbars > Customize... then somewhere near the bottom of the list of objects you'll find the Search bar that you can then drag onto the navigation bar where you would like it to go.

  • Why is my search bar not working?

    I'm running Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7. Recently, my search bar (the one with Google, YouTube, Amazon, etc.) has stopped working: if I enter a search string, it does not load a results page, it just spins and says "Connecting..." forever - this happens for all search engines, not just one. However, if I hit enter in the bar with no search string entered, it does take me to the home page of the site as normal. Any suggestions?

    Everytime i click safari, it shows ( Do you want to change your search engine to yahoo?) I did click cancel or ok but nothing happened. Just block

  • When I click the URL bar or the search bar, it doesn't select the text or show the cursor like it used to.

    AS the question says, when I clicked the search bar in previous versions, "Google" would disappear and I would see the flashing cursor. When I clicked in the URL of a blank tab, it would select all the text, and I would see a cursor when I typed or backspaced to remove the selected text. Now, none of that happens.
    After a bit of troubleshooting, it appears that any theme I use causes this issue.
    In the previous version of Firefox, I used the exact same plugins add-ons and theme, and never had this issue.
    I went thru and tried disabling all the add-ons and plugins, and unless I run in safe mode, I have the same result. None of the add-ons or plugins causes this. It seems to be any theme I use that causes this.

    Firefox 15+ will still display the grayed placeholder text if you click an input field or text area.<br />
    The placeholder text will only disappear after you have typed at least one character.
    Does a present URL get selected if you click or double-click the location bar?
    There are some prefs to set what will happen if you click the location bar:
    * browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll
    * browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll
