Typing in search box causes screen to switch to full screen, with no buttons (versions 34.0.5 and 35.0)

When I start to enter a search term into the search field on the top right of the screen the window will switch to full screen mode and all the buttons disappear. If I move the cursor to the top of the screen the resize button appears and I can switch it back. This happens several times a day, but not every time I use the search box. It happens if I have the window maximised or resized to fill less than the monitor screen.
This is hugely annoying. It started happening when I upgraded to version 34.0.5 and is still happening in 35.0.
You have made some changes to the search function as it now automatically gives me an annoying drop down box to choose a search provider. Is this change the cause of this problem?
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)
Please tell me how to prevent this, it is driving me crazy.
Thanks
Miranda

Sounds that you switch full screen mode on.
If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

    My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable.  When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

  • Hello my Mac Air is frozen on the grey screen (with the apple symbol, sleeping mode, restart-and off button), once you turn it on.

    hello my Mac Air is frozen on the grey screen (with the apple symbol, sleeping mode, restart-and off button), once you turn it on. I Can`t press any button.My Mouse still works. Battery is charged. Alt-cmd-escape doesn`t work It even after a forced shutting off, the problem is the same.   what should i do? Thank you for your help.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. The battery is distinct from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button)

    I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

    I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing.  First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update.  If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.  If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

    web part to use this results source.  I am getting results from the library I am trying to, but...
    1) The results web part is showing results when the page is loaded before any query is typed into the search bar.  Why is this and can it be configured to just be blank until a query is entered into the search bar?
    2) Is it possible to have 1 search box and 1 results part have 2 different scope choices?  ie, 1 scope for the wiki library and 1 for a document library?
    Thank you.

    So I have to have 2 different search result web parts to have 2 different scopes if I wish to have the search and results occur on the same page? Would I also have to have 2 search boxes?
    Also, I am trying to figure out this issue where results are being returned without anything being entered in the search box.  I have {searchterms?} in my query, and documentation suggests this to be the way to handle this issue, but I continue to get
    results shown in the results web part without even entering a search query.  Please assist.

  • Search box causes freeze

    I have just downloaded iTunes 11.0.
    Whenever I go to the search box and start typing I get the spinning ball and I have to do a force quit.
    I tried going to Time machine and restoring to my previous version of iTunes but got a message saying it was not possible as iTunes is part of the system and can't be altered. What can I do?

    Thanks for that, I hadn't seen that drop down option. I ran disk utility and did a restart and now its working fine.
    Strange that some of the songs in my library are greyed out but still play fine. Whats that about?

  • The search box in upper right corner is non-functional with Firefox, but works with IE on same website, please explain.

    This is a recent problem. I have not made any changes concerning my web browser. Perhaps I need to reinstall Firefox.

    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.

  • Since installing the latest FF version 14.0.1 the search boxes on the home page don't work with google

    The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
    Any ideas team?

    golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
    * Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
    *On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
    *On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
    * On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
    Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
    ''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
    If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
    I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
    If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it <u>as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu</u>, by going here:
    * http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
    If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar.
