Search Engine add ons not working

I suddenly have a few search engines that just wont work in the search, the netflix one just simply brings me to the netflix home page and doesnt actually search and the facebook one will only search for the first word typed

Hi Masson26,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try deleting the Search Engines and reinstalling them. This article will show you where you can find the files to delete them completely:

Hopefully this helps!

  • Firefos beta 8 version plugins and add-ons not working after install

    After Install ghostery will not fuction. Performed a reinstall of ghostery and no luck. In manage Add-ons it says ghostery will be working after restarting the browser but no change. Why? Also completey removed (uninstalled ghostery) then rebooted and reinstalled ghostery and still no change.
    Also other add-on are doing the same thing and all are compatible with this version according to the options menu in manage add-ons

  • Add-ons not working properly

    Recently (last 4-5 days my add-ons stopped working properly. Example: Tab Mix Plus shows as installed, but when any options I select do not affect tab behavior; Lastpass icon not showing up in the Add-on bar as it did previously; Newsfox icon doesn't appear in Toolbar as it did. Using Firefox 26.0 on Windows 8 on Dell Laptop.

    I've been having problems with my add-ons. Ad Block Plus will often hang Firefox and drive the CPU to 100%. I've reset Firefox and installed ABP, but still have the problem. My other extension have also stopped working. Any new extensions will appear to added on to Firefox, but they also don't work. I've followed all on-line trouble shooting options.

  • How to reorder search engine add ons in Firefox Mobile for Android?

    I've installed a few search engines as add ons in Firefox Mobile, and want to change the order they are listed in.
    I'd expect this to be a simple drag and drop (I believe Opera Mobile allows search engines to be reorded by drag and drop), but that doesn't work.
    How to I change the order in which search engines appear?

    The only method right now is to disable or uninstall search engines. Doing a better job of being able to adjust this would be good.

  • Add-ons not working after server IP address/domain name change.

    Hello everyone,
    We have just changed the IP address of our SAP Business One server and moved it into a new domain.
    Although SAP Business One is working as expected, the add-ins created by a third party do not work. Having very little knowledge of SAP I do not understand where the problem could be.
    The third party were on-site today and have reinstalled the add-ons but they still do not work.
    There is an error message when starting the client that states: Module <Compatability Licensed for Add-ons> Expired on <20080115> but the third party have stated that this isn't a license issue.
    Can anyone provide any assistance/advice on what the problem may be?
    The possibilities for the problem at the moment are:
    - Invalid license key for add-ons (but why would changing the IP address/domain name cause this issue?)
    - The add-on is coded with the original IP address of the server.
    - There is a permissions problem that has been missed (as users are in a new domain).
    Any advice/suggestions are welcome.
    Many thanks,
    John

    I am afraid that the possible cause is the addon is coded with the IP address in their connection method. It could be possible that it is a hardcoded addon.
    you must ask the addon developer to change it and do not use the IP address anymore in the addon.
    Rgds,

  • Why si firefox so quick to updatewand make many of my add ons not work

    every time firefox has an update different add ons do not work after the update.i use my computer and add ons for about 6 hours per day. the add ons are ESSENTIAL. i am sick and tired of updating then having to go back to a previous version. i used to love firefox now i am beginning to hate it almost as much as chrome and IE

    I can understand your frustration. The reason for compatibility checks and the resulting deactivation of your add-ons, however, is the concern for your own safety and robustness of your environment (... you may have had some bad experience in this regard yourself, for instance with Flash crashing now and then).
    Go to the page '''Tools > Add-ons ''' and click "Extensions" to open the page with currently installed add-ons. There, you can reactivate disabled add-ons or - what's better in any case - look for updates and/or more recents replacements of your older add-ons.

  • How do I add a search engine of my own choice (i.e one which is not available among the "Manage Search Engines" add-ons) to the Search Engine Box dropdown?

    I'm running Firefox 6 on Windows XP

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.
    You may note there are some changes coming up with Firefox's searches. In Fx23 whatever you set in the search bar is also used for other searches, so you may get unexpected videos showing up from the address bar.
    Further in the future, probably Fx25 the navigation and search bar are being combined. Then there is talk of a new concept of search tabs.
    Computer technology always changes. Moore's law gives ever more computing power but someone always finds a new feature or facility that becomes a must have essential and eats up all the power.

  • Search and Address bar not working.

    Hello, I have this problem were whenever I try to type in something into the search or addresys bars, nothing happens. It's like the enter key isn't working. There is not usual picture next to the search bar (the one that shows you what search engine you're using. If it's google it shows a "g" next to the bar). Instead there is just a picture of a blank page as a placeholder. When I try to go in and add a new search engine by managing the search engine list, there is no option to add a new search engine. I have already tried going into the firefox folder on my computer and deleted the formhistory.sqlite file that is the supposed problem. No avail. I have even gone so far to delete and reinstall firefox to my computer. Well, that didn't work either. So I waited until the next update to see if my problem would be fixed THEN. I am currently on firefox 19.0, which is, as of writing, the most current version. I have tried restarting firefox with all addons removed. And for good measure, I deleted anything that ended with ".sqlite" in my firefox folder. I have tried to get the the about:config menu but do not know how considering how my address bar refuses to search. The greatest thing is that my address bar can still remember all the sites I've typed into it before, but for some unknown reason, cannot take me to any of them! I really don't know what to do next. I can only suppose that I could try completely deleting everything firefox has stored on my computer, as I don't know if just uninstalling the program actually did that. Other then my search bar problem, firefox has been acting fairly normally besides a few minor hiccups here and there. I am trying to remember if I downloaded anything before my search bar problems started or not, but it is always a possibility. I did download the firefox beta for windows 8 metro mode but I can't remember if that was before or after firefox started acting up. It's possible considering that softonic thought they were being really nice by including fbdownloader for free with my firefox metro browser. I am now no longer using softonic ever again. But that's all the evidence I can think up right off the tip of my head. Sorry if this was kinda long, and if any of my description isn't clear or make sense please ask and I can try to verify. Also, if I haven't said this already, my search bar is only not working in firefox. Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari are all working fine. Just my luck, I guess. If anyone could help me out, I'd be much obliged. Not being able to use the address bar has been really inefficient. Thank you.

    This is the solution I got:
    on:
    ;-please follow these steps:
    1. Enter about:config in the Firefox location bar and press Enter.
    You should see a warning that making changes to the Firefox configuration can be potentially harmful to Firefox's integrity. Click the I'll be careful, I promise button to continue.
    2 In the Search box at the top, enter keyword as the search term. You should see a few remaining items, one of these is keyword.URL. It should be bold.
    3 Right-click on the keyword.URL setting and select MODIFY from the dropdown menu.
    enter your favorite search engine
    In my case
    I entered
    https://www.google.com/search?q=
    And that was a super fix
    for more cool stuffs like [http://example.com website Alexa ranking ]

  • When opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

    when opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Firefox 19 add ons stopped working

    Hello.
    I installed Firefox 19. Immediately most of my add ons stopped working, and in some cases work but not correctly.
    Here are some examples:
    Noia4 - works, but each time I restart Firefox Noia4 reset to default settings.
    Reminder Fox - Does not work
    Status4Evar - Does not work - These may be related.
    Google translator for Firefox, does not work.
    AnonymoX does not work.
    I have not had time to try ALL my add ons, so until I can be sure these work correctly I have returned to v18.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • Can't search for add-ons

    I seem to be unable to search for add-ons in the Add-ons Manager. I always get the message: "Could not find any matching add-ons".
    I should note that I had no problems of this sort in FF3.

    I have ff 13.0.1. The firefox add-on website search also results in "no results". I had a bandu search takeover which I removed all elements in config:about and in programs uninstall, and got rid of the "web search" search engine, but still cannot search extensions, except by the field of suggested results under the search box.

  • Compatibility reporter says none of my add-ons will work wwith FF4, is this possible?

    I think "compatibility reporter" can't be right. I have updated add-ons that claim to be compliant with FF4 but "c/r" says none of my add-ons will work.

  • "Upgrades" make many "NEEDED" Add-ons STOP Working! (ie Kaspersky Pwd Mgr, FEBE, No-Script, Skype, and MANY More wont work!) Why is this? I fear the ppl who write the Add-Ons will become frustrated and will stop. Plz email me- Thx

    Im not sure what other details I can give you, that would be pertinent. email me and ask me what you will .. and Ill be happy to oblige you. But having suggested Firefox to many of my clients (I owned a Computer Sales and Service (STORE - not a basement operation) for over 15 yrs and even on our New Computers, FIREFOX is what we installed and recommended! Many of my old clients now (Had to close the business last year due to a number of factors) call me at home and are asking me the same question. Why wont my ADD-ONS work with Firefox. Firefox tells me to Upgrade to the new one, and suddenly we cant get .... (their add ons) to work.
    I know Kaspersky was another product we sold a lot of, so their password managers are no longer working properly. More specifically their AUTO FILL function will not load when a new web page is loaded, thus the person can not access their bank acct, etc ... as they were dependent on Kaspersky to do all the remembering for them!

  • I have a Mac notebook and it says it's connected to wifi, but when I try to connect to any search engine it does not.  What is causing it to not actually connect.  My pc connects no problem.

    It seems that all apple products used in my house at times will not connect to our wifi.  It's hit and miss.  It says I am connected, but when you try to connect to any search engine it does not.  I have disconnected and reconnected the power to the dsl provider and to our wifi units.  I have rebooted the computers.  I have reentered the password.  Still no connection.   We do not have connectivity issues with our PC products.  Anyone have any answers for me?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
