The default google search in the middle of a new window is gone, how do i restore it?

I downloaded free flash player not knowing I already have it with adobe, but with it was Mcafee security (I uninstalled it right away). Now, when I open Firefox, it has the Google icon in the middle of the page, but when I add or open a new window, the google icon is gone. How can I bring back the default google searcher in the middle of the new page?

A new window opens with the home page, so you need to check the home page setting.

  • My Google preferences are set to show search results in a new window. However, when I do a Google search, it Firefox always opens 2 new windows with the (same) results. How can I fix this?

    I did not change my Google settings. I always have had it set to open search results in a new window. Some time ago, it started opening up two windows that have identical url/content.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows?

    How do I change the default on shutting down Lion to NOT relaunch open windows? And how can I have Safari always open in full screen mode? I have to set it every time I open Safari.

    The feature you are talking about in System Preferences does work and is not related in any way to the one at startup.
    One restores the windows of an application you've quit, the other reopens all windows you had open at shutdown or restart.
    Why should "I" have to constantly turn off a checkbox when I shutdown the system?
    You don' t have to.  Did you have a look at my post just above yours?  With a double click you can have your restart without opening the last open windows.  That's less than clicking the apple icon and selecting "restart" or "shut down" and then clicking "Restart" or "Shutdown" again.

  • I have all tabs set to open with Google search, but when I open a new tab and start typing, the letters appear in the address bar and not the Google search bar. It didn't used to be like this!

    Firefox 9.01; Windows 7 64 bit;
    One of my set of home pages is the basic Google search page. When I open this, I can immediately start typing and the words appear in the Google search box.
    If however I open a new tab (white cross far right of tab bar) and start typing, the words appear in the address bar, not in the Google search box. Of course once I click in the search box I can carry on: but I'd like to make it start there as it does with the homepage.

    If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
    -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
    * click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but do the following:

  • How do I disable the automatic google search in Safari

    How do I disable the automatic google search mechanism in Safari 6.0.
    When I type a url (or modify an existing one) if Safari doesn't understand/like what I type it does a Google (or whatever) search automatically.
    If I have misspelled something, or made a typo, I want to know about it -- not have some twit program tell me what it thinks I wanted to know.
    This is the same problem which exists for ISPs (and I realize that Apple is trying to grab the advertising dollars THEY get when you type in a bad URL).
    I simply want to be able to turn OFF this "feature."
    I also note that with this change it is no longer possible to select any search engine BUT Google. Annothe "feature" which I find utterly descriminating. There are many times when I want to see the results from different search engines -- as they all return different results, probably 90+% of the time.

    There's not really a way to disable that feature, apple decided it would be easier for customers to have the address bar and google search bar all in one.

  • The little google search bar thats usually on the right side of my window is now gone after updating. how do i get it back?

    i just updated my software and when i re-opened safari, the little google search bar thats usually on the right hand side of the window is now gone. how do i get it back?

    Sorry. That is Safari 6's "new look".
    Now they are copying Chrome and other browsers that combine them so that they don't take up so much space on your iPhone oops, I meant your screen.
    Tabs are as big as a house as well, but that just seems to be a bug.

  • Clear Google Searches on the iPhone?

    Hey I'm using the 1st gen iPhone with the newly updated v2.0 firmware. I am trying to figure out how to clear the search history on my google searches in the iPhone safari app. I know how to clear the browser history, but not the actual searches I have done. Does anyone know if this can be done?
    Thanks

    Here's how to do it:
    1. Tap settings (from home page)
    2. Tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache using the buttons near the bottom of the page.
    3. Press the home button.
    4. Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for 10-12 seconds, until the screen flickers off. This will do a "soft reset" on your iphone, just like turning it on and off, but it also empties recently deleted items.
    Note: You will NOT loose any of your prefs or data when doing a soft reset. Also, keep holding down even after you see the "Slide to Power off" screen, and then your iphone will reset a few seconds later.

  • Firefox 8.0 usually links to an incorrect site from Google search on the first attempt, then gets it correct on the second attempt. What's happening here? Didn't occur with previous versions of Firefox (through 3.6.x).

    I can provide specific instances if needed. This seems to happen almost every time. The incorrect sites do not appear to be of any specific type.
    I'm also curious why the production version of Firefox jumped from 3.6.x to 8.0. Maybe I've installed a still-buggy beta version, but not on purpose.

    cor-el,
    Several additional observations which may be relevant:
    1. The finger of suspicion seemed to point at Firefox 8 because IE7.0 didn't display the same symptom of redirecting Google search to the incorrect website. IE7.0 appeared to continue functioning normally.
    2. When I ran a full scan using Symantec 10.1.6.6010 yesterday evening it found about 30 infections. Among them was the immediate cause of my annoyance, an infection that presented as "XP Home Security 2012". May have been Trojan.Gen.2 which showed up in multiple copies. Symantec also found the Windows firewall turned off, which may have been my error but I'm pretty careful about keeping tools like that, active. It's on now. However the problem with Firefox 8 remained. I can supply the Symantec scan results if that would be helpful.
    3. Then I ran MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. It found about 5 infections and cured them. That fixed whatever was causing the problem with Firefox 8. I can supply the MalwareBytes log if that would be helpful.
    4. A scan this morning with Kaspersky's TDSSKiller didn't find anything.

  • Always displays the default saved search in af:query

    hi,
    The saved search drop down lists the saved searches but could not select another saved search. The dropdown selected value always point to the default saved search, as well as it's UI in criteria region. The same behavior in saving a new search, it will always refresh to the default. What seems to be the problem here? The current QueryDescriptor point to the new search but the UI always displays the default.
    Thanks in advance.

    Found the solution. The queryDescriptor getter calls again the default value that's way it doesn't change. Thanks for the time.

  • Google search disable the web page, how to get it back?

    When i do a Google search using the safari option up right, the web page turn grey but sont comme back available. I need to reboot the iPad.
    Any tricks?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    You see the orange Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden
    *In current Firefox versions it is possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to make the (orange) Firefox button appear.
    *Tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to bring up the menu bar temporarily if you need to access a menu on it.
    *Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or empty space on the tab bar to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
