My Firefox comes up with a Google search bar - how can I delete it and replace with something more ethical?

I'm concerned that Google are avoiding paying UK tax and would rather use a search engine that's non-profit or at least pays tax! Any suggestions?

hello Pitchfork, please refer to: [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]]

    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

    I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
    1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
    and
    2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
    If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

    I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
    Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

  • Upgrade to Firefox 34.0 (linux) has disabled search bar; how to fix without resetting everything?

    After upgrading to Firefox 34.0 from Firefox 33.2.2(?) I noticed he search bar did not display my search engines. The search engines still exist on file but aren't visible. However, typing a word into the search bar will cause a section of my display to blink while hitting 'enter' will correctly search for the word on Wikipedia, my first search engine. Unfortunately for me, by the time I typed this out the search bar seems to be working correctly now. So, in addition to a late night, what the heck just happened, and will this bug creep back with every upgrade? Or is it a linux issue (ie. Puppy 5.3.3)?

    Firefox 34 has an all new Search Bar and related Options tab.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
    You can revert to the old Search Bar scheme with this.
    Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
    '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
    Then restart Firefox.

  • I want my Google search bar. Can I download Firefox 4 and do away with 5?

    I want firefox 4 back. Can I download it and get rid of 5?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    You probably can use the Google Toolbar with Firefox 5. This thread has info on how: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • When I open Firefox, the Google screen comes on. Then I type the first letter of my search and up pops up possible searches. How can I delete some of these choices?

    How can I block some of the past searches on Google when I start to type the first few letters of past searches?

    If you want to remove saved form data from a drop down list then use these steps:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • When I click on the + a new tab comes up, but no google search bar. I was able to get a new search bar before an upgrade.

    To get a new search bar to come up I have to go to File, open a new window. If I select open a new tab, only a tab comes up, no search bar. I tried downloading current Firefox then reverted back to old ones trying to fix my problem.

    If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You need to create a new profile if you really ant to get rid of all personal data and have a factory reset.

  • When I exit Firefox, it continues running in the background. How can I prevent this and keep it from happening apparently by default?

    I know that Firefox continues running in the background because after I exit the program, I use CCleaner and it indicates programs are still running: Firefox. This happens every time I exit Firefox. There seems to be a default mechanism to keep it running. How can I prevent this?

    I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • I start firefox but I just get google page. How can I get back to firefox?

    I open firefox but it always gives me the google home page instead of firefox. the top left box says google. It used to say firefox and options if I clicked on it ,like printing an on line page etc.

    Starting in Firefox 4, the home page changed to '''about:home''' but it is pretty easy to change. To set it back, you can use the Options dialog, General tab.

  • I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

    When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Started about a week and a half ago.

    Hello Linda.
    I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
    I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com
