The web search feature does not work on FF15.0

Just took the 15.0 update. I can't type into the search field

Do you mean the search bar on the about:home page or the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar?
Note that a "Reset" creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact, including the cache folder (about:cache) that can take up to 1 GB.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.
If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

    Using Acrobat Pro X on windows 7.  The replace pages feature does not work.  Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

    Hi Todd,
    I haven't heard other reports of this (though there was an issue quite some time ago where deleting pages on this combination of Acrobat/OS was challenging).
    Can you please tell me what happens when you try to replace pages? Do you get an error message? Are you able to manipulate pages otherwise (delete, extract, and so on)? Is this issue unique to one file, or does it happen with all PDF files?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • The Web photo gallery does not work in Dreamweaver!

    I made a web photo gallery in photo shop using CS3.  The destination folder is the web site I'm using it in.  It links OK in the rollover image and will work if you click on it(swf_file) in the site file, but it will not show any pictures when I try to preview it with a browser or load it on the remote site. It loads the file but all the images are whited out.   This is very frustrating and it must be something simple...please advise...Thank You..Thagoodsport

    What kind of a response are you looking for with a post like that, seriously? Change this or that in your unprovided code? Use this or that gallery, which may be the gallery you're already using. We don't know because you haven't mention specifics, provided any code, or any other relevant information to produce a helpful response. All you've said is you click a link and it's white. Kudos.
    We're not mind readers and no one is looking over your shoulder watching what you're doing. Get it together... and when you do, post a link so we can see what you're talking about. jeez.

  • HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

    Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

    Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
    Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    Try Safari again.
    The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.

  • Google search suggestion does not work

    I have Google set as my default search engine in the upper right hand corner. Until today when I start typing it automatically gives suggestions. Now this feature does not work on my laptop which uses Windows XP. However, it works on my desktop PC using Windows XP just fine. If I go to google.com and start typing in the search bar the web site offers suggestions. Therefore I feel the problem has something to do with Firefox 3.6.8

    I use Firefox on mt mac. The toolbar search boxes stopped working with the latest upgrade to version 3.6.8

  • HT6337 HandOff feature does NOT work

    HandOff feature does NOT work on my iPhone6 and iPad Air.
    I have the latest updates (iOS 8.1) installed and my MBP is on Yosemite 10.10...
    I have my iPad Air, iPhone6, and MBP on the same network.
    And, I have bluetooth enabled.
    Yet, I don't see the handOff icon appear on any of my mobile devices...
    Am I missing something??
    Does setting a password on all my devices affect this feature?

    Hello LoreZyra,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To get Handoff working between your devices, please take a look at the article below for settings needed to be configured on your devices.

    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.

    Hello paola t & welcome to the forums

    It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
    Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

  • The site reporter tool does not work

    There is an item in Firefox Help where you can report a Web site that does not work.  Originally, a report database was available on line and you could review existing submissions.  The database access site was officially [http://blog.mozilla.com/website-archive/2010/12/08/mozilla-reporter/ retired] and the data gathered were expurgated and dumped for everybody to download. It is 1.3 GB uncompressed; install with { gzcat | mysql mozrep; } to avoid doubling the space. 
    The [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20Reference#w_report-broken-web-sitead site reporter tool] does not seem to work any more.  It just submits the report forever.   It seems that Mozilla has broken functionality in a supported browser, disregarding all users.   The original reporter site redirects to a new feedback site.   The problem with that site is that you have to install version 4 beta to use it, which is not nice at all.  To add exploitation to disrespect, Mozilla tries to turn all customers into beta testers.

    Hi there
    Sorry, but you need to give us more information. For starters, you *ARE* using Adobe Captivate, right? And what exactly are you trying to do where you are seeing the eyedropper isn't working? Can you post a screen capture or a small video recording of it? You can use Jing http://www.jingproject.com or maybe Screenr http://www.screenr.com.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

    Hello!
    I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
    I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
    All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
    I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
    What can I do about it ?

    It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
    Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
