  • After using Tab Groups earlier today, now anytime I close FF with more than 1 tab open, FF does NOT ask me to confirm before closing

    After using Tab Groups earlier today, now anytime I close FF with more than 1 tab open, FF does NOT ask me to confirm before closing. FF always has asked me to confirm in the past and no settings were changed prior to trying the Tab Groups. Then when I reopen FF all the tabs that I had open are still there. I've tried refreshing FF and clearing history but that didn't work. It's almost as though FF thinks the window and tabs I have open are a tab group and it won't let me get rid of that group. How do I stop the Tab Groups now that I got them? Or is there something else going on? None of this was happening until I played with the Tab Groups this morning. I was curious what it was --- that's going to get me killed one of these days lol.

    Thanks. Somehow the "Show my windows and tabs" box had gotten checked. I know I didn't check that box and the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" box has always been checked. Like I said, it was all working fine until I tried the tab groups so I'm wondering if maybe that checks the "Show my windows and tabs" box by default?
    Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks so much!

  • With latest download, I specifically excluded yahoo as default search engine. It loaded anyway and I can not get rid of it and restore Google as default search engine

    I had Google as default search engine. Now, Yahoo shows up and even when I delete it, close firefox 8.0, restart it, Yahoo again rears its ugly head. Nothing seems to fix this. Any program I install that is tied in to Yahoo, I specifically exclude the installation of the Yahoo tool bar. How do I get rid of it once and for all?

  • When I open a new tab I'd like it to open in my home page (my favourite search engine). Any suggestions how I can set this up, please?

    Found the answer in another thread discussing the same problem. Hit Ctrl and click the Home icon at the same time. Works great!

  • I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

    I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
    How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

    Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
    6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
    2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
    3. Select "Bing".
    4. Click the "Remove" button.
    5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
    6. Click "OK"
    All Done.... :-)
    Happy Searching...

  • Firefox crashes when I try to search for something using the Google or MSN search engines, but not with other search engines. What causes this and how can i fix this?

    I type something into the Google or MSN search engine and as soon as I hit search, Firefox crashes. Hotmail still works fine, as do every other website I have tried, including other search engines. What is the problem?

    I got the same issue to and crashes in the same exact manner. Been using IE in the mean time, thought it was just me. I tried reinstalling Firefox and everything, even rolled back windows.

  • How do I make google my default search engine instead of inbox search engine?

    Google was my search engine anytime I would type just keywords into the line where you type web addresses. However, I somehow must have uploaded a new search engine called 'Inbox', which I don't care for, and now I have to type keywords into the search to the right of the screen to use google. I would like to make google my permanent search engine when using Firefox. Any suggestions? I thought I had already deleted the inbox toolbar, but it didn't change my search engine. I am not so computer savvy so...
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == don't know how or when

    I had this problem to, drove me insane for weeks. Eventually i found out how to solve the problem though:
    1. Open a new tab and in the address bar, type in "about:config" (without the quotations)
    2. A little warning pops up, just press ok and move on.
    3. In the filter search type in "inbox" (without the quotations)
    4. Right-click on any of the results that pop-up and click reset.
    That solved the problem for me, and hopefully it will for you as well.

  • Safari won't make Google my default search engine. + Top Sites issue.

    hello
    I am running 10.9.5, latest iMac, latest Safari.
    Here's my issue. Safari won't make Google my default search engine.
    I switched it in preferences, and it says the default search engine is 'Google', as well as saying it even saying 'Google' in the Toolbar text field.
    However the results always come back in Yahoo. I've tried resetting Safari, opening and closing the app but no luck.
    Also I have it set to show 24 Top Sites, but it only displays 12 and it's been stuck on the same 12 sites for 2 days.
    I'm assuming these two might be related as they are both preferences which stubbornly refuse to save as defaults.
    Any one else having these issues? Anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!
    ;D

  • I made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

    i made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

    Possibly because dropbox is not really a proper webhost - it might be better if you went and signed up for proper web hosting from somewhere like http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com.
    Have you told Google that you site exists?  If not, then you need to do so - http://www.google.com/addurl.

    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.

    To set the default search engine, choose Safari > Preferences, then click General.

  • Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

    Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

    I've found Firefox to be very unstable when it comes to choosing a different home page & search engine, frequently ignoring my choices & reverting to the default settings between launches. This also applies to Google & the choice of language if it's different to that of the country the person's in, which is my main gripe with Google, it doesn't detect the language of the operating system but that of the geographical location, forcing one to alter the settings every time, which is extremely annoying! Please do something about all this if possible, thanks.
