The address bar used to take me DIRECTLY to a site when i typed one word (facebook, twitter, etc), now it takes me to a google search results page instead. How do I fix this?

The URL bar used to work almost as an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, and take me directly to the website. For example, I would type in "facebook" and it would go right to facebook.com, or "twitter" and it would go right to twitter.com.
Now it goes to a google results page and i have to take the extra step by clicking on the top result, instead of firefox taking me right there.
I thought this was a feature, but since i upgraded to the newest version of firefox, i can't find it in the settings anywhere and i'm not exactly sure what it's called.

Tried about:config does not owrk now NEWTAB facebook/twitter etc.list is my startpage and comes up with every tab PLEASE how do I disable this awful newtab

I want to get rid of the newtab as my start page (homepage selected in options, but does not pan out)
and it comes up with every link. I tried about :config/ about:newtab to about:blank. now it is WORSE because it is now the homepage too.

Go to about:config, and search for 'newtab'. On 'browser.newtab.url', set the value to about:newtab. This is the default value.
If this doesn't work, try resetting Firefox. All of your data will be saved, and Firefox will be reset to the defaults. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like the Time Machine Local Backup. Try turning Time Machine Off in System Preferences to verify.
See: OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
But, your real problem is
I forgot to mention that I tried to use Disk Utility to Verify Disk, but it cannot. I get red errors that say the MacHD is corrupt and needs to be repaired. It says that in order to do this I need to use the Disk Utility on the install disk, but Lion doesn't have one!
Boot into Lion's Recovery (Hold ⌘R on Boot), select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click [Repair Disk]

HT4623 no service or searching keeps appearing .. how can i fix this?

Help !! my iphone 4 keeeps displaying the message 'no service' or searching .... how can i fix this please ?

We'd need more info.
I assume you are talking about cell phone service and not wifi connections. If so, no service means it can't find a cell tower. Should it? Was it working before? Is this an iphone 4 you just bought from someone? Which brand, ATT or Verizon, or some other country like vodafone? Is a sim card being used? What company's sim card? Is the phone locked or jailbroken?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your other library/computer, or your backup copy, to your new library/computer

When I plug my iphone in to my laptop, it no longer prompts me to download my photos. How do I fix this?

Is the phone displaying the connect to iTunes picture on the screen instead of the normal unlock. If so, something may have crashed (big-time) resulting in a re-set.
Is there any chance that someone else is signed into iTunes on the computer at the moment rather than your normal iTunes account? That may cause this as well.
At this stage, you could try to manually back it up first (which would be a very good idea), but it sounds like you don't have much choice other than to restore or set it up as new.
Has it done this repeatedly? or is this the first time you've seen this?

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
