New search bar at bottom of page

I have recently noticed a new search bar type thing at the bottom of the page when i use firefox. there is no name or brand to it, it doesnt show up in add on etc and i cant get rid of it! It has a X the Find: and a space to type in a search followed by next, previous...... you can close it using the X but comes back when changing the page. It is so annouying, everytime i go to fill in text box on a new page it automatically goes to there... grrr! Help, is this a firefox add on or someone elses?

In case that find bar setting is stuck on even though it's not checked in the dialog, try the double switch: check the box, OK that, then go back in and uncheck it and OK that.
Also, in case it's faster for you, if the find bar has the focus, pressing the Esc key will close it.
Occasionally Firefox will behave as though the Ctrl key is held down (for example, any link you click will open in a new tab). Tapping the key a few times might clear that, sometimes exiting and restarting Firefox will help, other times you have to restart Windows to resolve it.

  • New Search Bar

    Hi People,
    I'm sure most of you have noticed the new tab buttons on the top of the page. And chances are you've also seen the new search bar and how it works much like "Spotlight" does.
    I'm trying to understand how it actually works but unfortunately the source code doesn't offer much in lessons.
    If you know anything please post it so that all those interested could learn as well. And if you havn't checked it out yet, you'll find it's fantastic in operation. Although a few Win users have reported a site crash while using IE (must be a problem with the browsers code
    Oh and if this is posted in the wrong place, I do apologize. I didn't know where to include it.

    hi guys,
    I'd still like some help on my topic if anyone is listening. Hope someone replies cause chances are I'll keep posting and bumping until I get something

  • 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.

  • Can't get the new Search Bar while using Music Store

    Just downloaded iTunes 5 last night for Windows XP and everything is OK except the ability to show the new search bar in the Music Store. I am able to use the new bar on all other apps of iTunes 5 (library, purchased music, etc.) except for the music store, and that's where for me it would be the most useful! Anyone else having this issue, or anyone know a fix?

    Well OK, except if you watch the Apple Special Event where Steve Jobs unveils among other things the nano and the iTunes 5 enhancements, around 16:00 into it, he demos iTunes where he uses the new search bar in the Music Store. So what gives? More pixar special effects or what?

  • How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

    When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
    So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
    Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
    This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

  • What is the address of the Firefox homepage that has a search bar? The homepage page addresses I've found don't have a search bar--one like I find on Google

    Does Firefox always use Google to do searches?
    I want to see my default page but "firefox.org" doesn't have a search bar.
    I want to use firefox as my default browser.
    Thanks,
    dee

    By default Firefox normally uses Google for searches, but you have many other choices.
    Also note
    # That the firefox searches all use the same search as that set in the search bar. <br /> That includes the searches from the address bar, and even if you right click highlighted text in a webpage.
    #You can choose the search engine or install new ones <br /> [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]] <br /> [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]

  • I can't get Google (word & icon) to load in the search bar on my home page. How can I fix this?

    Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • My tabs page shows nothing but the new search bar but that can't even be used either

    So I use the newtabs page all the time, infact everytime I open firefox but I have opened newtabs page this morning and none of my pages are there at all and I haven't click "Hide new tabs page". All that is on the newtabs page is that new searchbar but thats not working for searches either.

    Are there any errors in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) that could be related to this?
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Pages not loading, suddenly today, status bar at bottom of page has red "J" for Java and I cannot figure out why or what to do

    After using Firefox successfully for months, it started not loading full pages today, but showing "done" in the status bar at the bottom. I also noticed icons for Javascript, Java, Silverlight, etc., on the right side of status bar, JAVA one is red, but I don't know what that means.

  • When I open on Mozilla Firefox, several identical items open on bar at bottom of page, when only one is needed, and I can't get rid of them apart from closing the whole lot.

    Different tabs used to appear at the top of the page (Yahoo), which I could easily close. This has stopped. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, about 6 little boxes appear at the bottom of my page, at least two of them being mozilla, and I can't get rid of them except by closing down the internet. If I go through Talk Talk, (a second email address) and get to Yahoo this way, this doesn't happen, but I always prefer to use Mozilla Firefox.
