Upgrade to Firefox 34.0 (linux) has disabled search bar; how to fix without resetting everything?

After upgrading to Firefox 34.0 from Firefox 33.2.2(?) I noticed he search bar did not display my search engines. The search engines still exist on file but aren't visible. However, typing a word into the search bar will cause a section of my display to blink while hitting 'enter' will correctly search for the word on Wikipedia, my first search engine. Unfortunately for me, by the time I typed this out the search bar seems to be working correctly now. So, in addition to a late night, what the heck just happened, and will this bug creep back with every upgrade? Or is it a linux issue (ie. Puppy 5.3.3)?

Firefox 34 has an all new Search Bar and related Options tab.

You can revert to the old Search Bar scheme with this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox.

Animation studio pro has vanished since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks any has anyone eny idea how to fix this?

Hello Apple Community,
I was instructed to upgrade to OS X Maverick so far so good, accept I have lost accesss to an animation program that I need to use. How can I uninstall it, I read to do that and then install it again and that should fix it. However, I don't quite know how to do that, I have tried to uninstall it .etc. But I am not having any luck. Any ideas floating "out there in cyber space would me real cool" just let me know. If I can help someone out there as well just yell out. Cheers guys. and thanks.

Ok this worked to solve the error.
Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

My Firefox comes up with a Google search bar - how can I delete it and replace with something more ethical?

I'm concerned that Google are avoiding paying UK tax and would rather use a search engine that's non-profit or at least pays tax! Any suggestions?

I could not see how to continue after upgrade to firefox 4. This has never been a problem with ast upgrades. I am finding Firefox to be very user unfriendly for non-tech people.

I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.

#Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
#The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
#*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
#**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
#**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
#**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
#Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
#*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
#*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
#You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:

What is the address of the Firefox homepage that has a search bar? The homepage page addresses I've found don't have a search bar--one like I find on Google

Does Firefox always use Google to do searches?
I want to see my default page but "firefox.org" doesn't have a search bar.
I want to use firefox as my default browser.
Thanks,
dee

By default Firefox normally uses Google for searches, but you have many other choices.
Also note
# That the firefox searches all use the same search as that set in the search bar. That includes the searches from the address bar, and even if you right click highlighted text in a webpage.
#You can choose the search engine or install new ones [[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]] [[Search the web from the Address Bar]]

Has anybody figured out how to fix the battery consumption with mountain lion (using a MBP 13")?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and yes despite all of the warnings posted in the App Store reviews about the battery life being cut in half, I upgraded my MBP anyway. Chalk this one up to the Black Cloud of "I Told You SO!" My MBP could hold a charge for almost 6.5 hours. Now I'm luck if I can get 3, but in most cases I may get 2.5 hours if I'm conservative.
Has anyone figure out how to fix this battery problem? Even now after having it unplugged for almost 2 hours...I'm getting the "You are now running on reserve battery power" message. What a freaking joke!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. Click %CPU until the triangle points down beside it. Make sure it says All Processes in the upper right. Check for applications taking up lots of CPU time.

See this discussion.
Apps open after boot
If that doesn't work, try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Just upgraded to Firefox 4 and important Norton toolbar is missing - how do I get it back?

I've only just upgraded to Firefox 4 today (30.4.11) and when it had installed and restarted, my Norton toolbar was missing. A message from Firefox did come up - something to do with some items not compatible with version 4 but I can't remember all that it said. I haven't had this problem with any of the other versions of Firefox. This is an important toolbar as it concerns identity protection, safe web searching.

Symantec have released updates for Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security to make them compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894

Upgrade to Firefox now defaults to a proxy server setting - how do I stop this???

I use Windows XP and Earthlink is my internet provider. About a week ago I downloaded the upgrade to Firefox. Since that time, everytime I connect to the internet I get the error that Firefox is trying to connect thru a proxy server - I do NOT work thru a proxy server. I have to go into internet options in my control panel, go to connections and remove the proxy server checks in both the dial-up settings and the LAN settings. THIS DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE PRIOR TO THE UPGRADE!! I tried to go back in my computer settings to a date prior to the upgrade, but that did not change anything. HELP!! What can I do to stop Firefox from defaulting to a proxy server setting???? Earthlink tells me that this is not an Earthlink problem, that it is being caused by the Firefox explorer.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection 
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

After i have upgraded to Lion OS, this computer has become the worst computer on this planet. Everything is so slow as if i am in 1990's, where you can click on something and take a coffee break. Constantly get errors on MS Outlook and all applications

After i have upgraded to Lion OS, this computer has become the **** computer on this planet. Everything is so slow as if i am in 1990 where you can click on something and take a coffee break. Constantly get errors on MS Outlook and all applications are taking for ever to open up. If you guys can't fix it i am going to throw this out the window. Completely fed up with this. Have always loved apple but this is the worst experience i have with the MacBook Air and its not even 1.5yr old.

There are two ways to upgrade to Lion - one is to install Lion overtop of the existing Snow Leopard and the other is to erase the hard drive, install Lion, and then migrate your applications and user accounts. This second option takes a good deal longer than the first so the preferred method for most is the first method and in most cases it works fine. But not in all.
captfred has told you what I'd start out doing if it were my computer. There's a good chance that you can identify an application or plug-in that's causing the problem. Upgrading the involved item(s) can solve the problem. Of all the Lion upgrades I performed I had a couple that weren't completely successful even though I'd looked for programs and plug-ins that needed upgrading first. I missed a few but I found them after the fact and had happy computers.
There was one computer that still had problems. With this computer I reinstalled Lion right over the old version. (If you didn't keep a copy you'll need to download it first.) I still wasn't satisfied so with that computer I rebooted into the recovery partition (Command R after restarting) formatted the hard drive, installed Lion and then migrated. That did solve the problem.

My uncle has died and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without resetting the device as we don't know if he's backed it up our not and don't want to lose whatever he has on there?

My uncle passed away recently and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without having to reset it as we don't know if he's backed anything up and we don't want to lose whatever is on there... thanks in advance.

About all you can do is take the device to an Apple Store along with the death certificate and explain the situation...if someone can do something, it would be them.

When I upgraded my firefox I lost my freecorder 4 toolbar. How do I get it back?

I received notice to upgrade my fire fox and when I did and my computer rebooted I noticed I had lost my tool bar for my freecorder 4. How do I get that back?

Switching search engines
The name of the active search engine is listed in the Search bar and is identified by the small icon. In the following example, the active search engine is Google. To change the active search engine, click the down arrow next to the search engine's icon, and select a new search engine.

Where has my search bar gone in ff34?

I would like to be able to update FF only when I want to, but it forces me to update by stopping working a day or two after the new version appears! Anyway, since updating to 34, my search bar, which I use all the time for different search engines, has vanished, so I've had to revert to version 33. I imagine, at some point it will decide to stop working, and I'll have to upgrade, but I'd like my search bar back before I do, if that's possible?

Thank you very much. It appears that if I disable one extension (Organize Search Engines), then the search bar comes back, but another extension that is not disabled (Add to Search Bar) has stopped working. I have emailed the developer of these extensions, so hopefully there will be a resolution.
BUT (Firefox, not you! :) )...
I KNEW it would happen, I even predicted it - this morning Firefox just decided not to bother opening at all, because I had the TEMERITY to be using an old version. I mean, who do I think I am? How DARE I have a reason for not wanting to upgrade! It won't even run in safe mode!
SO, I had to download the latest version of Firefox FROM SAFARI!!!
And now I have the same problem with the search bar as I had before. Firefox therefore, has wasted an hour of my time for nothing. Again! Thanks a bunch, Firefox!

Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
and
2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.
