Some searches going straight to Wikipedia not Google results
I use the omnibar for searches, not the separate search field. Recently, actually just today, when I do some searches, for instance, I search "Rashida Jones", expecting to get Google search results, it is instead taking me straight to the Wikipedia site for Rashida Jones. I put in "judge Dredd", it does the same thing. But when I type in "Football" (and just tried this for first time now) it takes me directly to www.bbc,com's football page. "oblivion" takes me to IMDB. I've ran Firefox with addons disabled and does the same thing.
What needs changing here??

You can also reset these prefs as they are no longer used in current Firefox versions and they will disappear after a restart.
# browser.history_expire_days.mirror: 180
# browser.history_expire_days_min: 7
Your keyword.URL had this value and that make Firefox do a Google "Browse by Name"
*http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.URL
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search
You also have the fixup disabled (add www. and .com automatically):
* browser.fixup.alternate.enabled: False

Embedded Google search on our website is not showing results. Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30
We have Google Search embedded in our website. It was brought to my attention by one of our employees that Firefox is not showing the results of the search after the search button is clicked. The issue seems to be only confined to Firefox. Tested the issue on Internet Explorer 10 and Google Chrome and both are working as expected, showing the results on our results page.
I am using Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30. The user having the issue is on Windows 7, 64 bit.
I used the Web console and there were an error message of
'TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary5337 is not a function'.
I am not sure this is the root of the issue or not, but why would this work in Chrome and Internet Explorer and not in Firefox?
If you need to check it, out website is http://www.dmns.org/ . The search box it on the top right of the page. You will see that the page redirects to our '/results?q=searchterm'. We are a science institution so if you type "science" in the search box, you will get redirected to the '/results' page with the query string of 'science' for the search term. But in my case the search results below are blank. If you do the same search if Chrome or IE the results show fine.
Oh, I do not have any add on installed on Firefox.
Any suggestions or a fix would be great.
Thank you.

This is probably still a bug in Firefox. Our Google Search <script> that call the Javascript service from Google was within the Body tag. I moved the Script tag to the head and now it seems to work as expected. In the new Firefox, are <script> tags not allowed within the Body element? -
All i've done is install the new version of firefox. none of these work in internet explorer now either....

Resource Search in cProjects 4.0 not fetching results
Hi All,
Working on cProjects 4.0, I have specified the qualifications catalog and selected a few items from the catalog for a role. These are the items I have set for the resource (Business Partner). However, when I do a 'Resource Search' at the front end, the system does not throw the list of resource I expect the system to do.
Where could I be going wrong?
Thanks all...Hi Zhenbo,
Thanks for your response. This, however, does not help.
As mentioned, I have defined the qualification catalog and selected the qualifications for the role. The resouce (BP) does have the required qualifications. However, the 'Resource Search' fetches no results.
Do I have to have the resources defined in WFM to be able to fetch? I guess no...
Do suggest.
Thanks and Regards... -

My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video. Is there some step I am missing?
Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode. Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.

If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player. Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

Will not start on New Install. Opening goes straight to Crash reporter
Will not start on New Install. Clicking on icon does not open a window and goes straight to Crash reporter. I cannot access a window to try to open in safe mode (unless there is another method than outlined in the help article).
I run Windows XP and trying to install the latest 15.0.1 version. Before install, I did disable my Symantic virus protection. I have never used Firefox and would like to try it, but I'm having little success so far to even get started.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas or need more information from me.hello Singyt, the bug report associated to this kind of crash indicates that it might be a malware related issue.
your crash report also shows a file named "urixalog.dll", which doesn't turn up any search hits on google, which is also slightly suspicious. could you search for that file on your pc and upload it to a site like virustotal.com in order to analyze it.
please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
edit: the bug report also suggests that a monitoring program named spector pro/360/... which essentially acts like malware, might cause the issue. in case you have that installed please remove it. otherwise [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_backdoor-ulrbot-c here] would be a removal guide for urixalog.dll -
Get rid of yahoo search.. return to google search NOT GOOGLE CHROME
Something happened with last mozilla update. I keep getting yahoo search in my search engine
box, and under the tools option box, there is no option to select browser access anymore.
another confusion is between the search engine used and the browser.
I want to use google search engine on mozilla, I dont want to google chrome
Also there is a flag that comes up on my windows 7 laptop when i try to change the yahoo search
box... something about content not trusted
I'm not a computer geek, all i know is after most recent windows update and mozilla update,
mozilla has gone haywire. I want the old mozilla back with a google search option on mozilla not google chrome, and NO YAHOO SEARCH WITH FLAGS ABOUT HAZARDOUS CONTENT AND SITE NOT TRUSTED
WHO IS PROGRAMMING THIS JUNK ANYHOW?????Hello,
Sounds like a third party installation has hijacked your search bar. If you find suspicious looking extensions in your add-ons page, can you try the following steps?
# Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the Remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
If the above doesn't work, try running some anti-malware scans:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?
Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated! -

My "Themes" page does not appear when I play my DVD- it goes straight to playing the slideshow.
I have never been on this forum so I am not sure what I am doing exactly. I went to the Apple store today to learn how to use iDVD. We created a "Themes" page and when I view my slideshow in iDVD everything plays together but once I burned it to a DVD and played the DVD on my computer and DVD player at home the "Themes" page does show up- it just goes straight into playing the slideshow.
Check in the Map mode of your iDVD project to see if the slideshow has been dragged intoi the blue "Auto Play" bin. If that's the case then that's why the findished product begins playing automatically. Just drage it out of that bin, save as a disk image and play the disk image with DVD Player to see if the menu shows up as expected. If it does then you can burn the disk image to disk using Disk Utility as 4x or less.
