What happended to my google search-I now have twitter-what goes

my google search window says twitter and every time i type something in the search window i get twitter stuff. I don't know why this started happening. I've been looking for a job and I can't get to my registered accounts because when I type them in the search window it always goes to twitter. How can I get rid of twitter and get back to my old google search window?

Hello,
It sounds like Your search bar, the bar to the right of your address bar, is set to Twitter. If you click on the icon or the down triangle, you can change the provider back to Google. Please see the article [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]] for more information.

Error reports have been sent to Mozilla when system has crashed.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.5 - and exactly the same problem. It seemed to start with Firefox 3.6.12 and 'latest' Flash upgrade (both done at the same time). Ive tried going back to the previous versions, but makes no difference.

Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"
this will bring back your address bar (where you type links to go to websites :P )

My default browser on Google Chrome was Google Search. Now it is AVG and Babylon. I want to get Google Search back. How do I get rid of AVG?

I watched a video on YouTube on how to cheat in this one online game to get unlimited amount of gold. I went to the website to download the system used to cheat: CheatEngine.com. I downloaded it, thinking it wouldn't do anything, but it did do something. When I realized it changed my default search engine, I deleted the program. It changed my search engine on Google Chrome from Google Search to Babylon and AVG. I really want Google Search back!! I have tried everything. Nothing works and I really want Google Search back. Can you help me?

Thank you so much for helping! But when i go to extensions, it says i don't have any! that makes me mad >:( stupid CheatEngine! Thanks anyway though!

What happened to "Google search", after installing, the darn thing goes to Yahoo? How do I get Google back?

The typical "Google search" isn't even displayed on the Firefox startup page. Frustrating!!!

Please do the following:
* In the location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
* Go to File | Exit
* Restart Firefox, go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.

How do I set Google as the default search engine in the URL search field (now have Yahoo)?

I'd like Firefox to use Google as the default search engine for the URL search field, instead of Yahoo as I currently have. I've tried to find a place to reset this in Preferences but can't find a solution. Would be very grateful for any advice. Imagine it's simple.
NB: I'm talking of the left search field, not the right search engine one where it's easy enough to define.

You can reset the prefs general.useragent.override and keyword.URL on the about:config page.<br />

Google search does not produce results but goes to an 'untitled document' blank page

Computer just automatically updated Firefox and now when I search in google no results are produced when I hit enter or click on search. Instead it just produces a black page with the label 'untitled document'.

Spontaneously fixed itself. Now seems fine - but I didn't do anything to fix it.

I cannot use yahoo or google search engines. i have used several different antispyware,malware and virus scans but have found nothing. any thoughts?

ask.com works fine but i cannot use any search engines related to google, yahoo and several other sites that use those engines on there page. several pages hostred by google also do not work. i have tried several scans to find issues but nothing. i have updated firefox and i have also tried to reinstall firefox twice.
i have also had several issues streaming video or music which wasnt an issue until i started having the google issues

Just saw this: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/944193
I contacted Rapport and tehy seem to think that this is updated in the latest version (even though ht econsole said I had the latest version) so will give it a try. Fingers crossed

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I now have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing).

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?

I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences

Anna browser - Google search missing

Prior to Anna I regularly used the Google search window sst the foot of the browser window. With Anna installed I could not find the search window and had to revert to visiting the Google site. Which is a complete pain and a backward step.
However I found that removing Swype while testing the fix for 'no split screen' had the added benefit of bringing back the Google search option, now accessed by clicking into the address bar.
The cause of the problem appears to be that the swype window fills the while screen and doesn't allow the search pane to drop down.
What a pain. How can nokia be alerted to this bug to allow them to update Swype?

ummm where does one get this swype update? cuz I checked Nokia store and im running the latest they have available...

How can I put Google Search on my default home page?

When I was using 3.6 because of the add-ons available that are not on 6 my beginning page always started with Google Search. Now that I've upgraded to 6.02 all I get is a blank page at startup! And I cannot seem to change that in the "Tools/General/Home page site!!!

What is the startup setting?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"
Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it that is used when the home page setting is blank.<br />
You can set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Safari Search Bar now GREEK

Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.4 I've had some major annoyances rear their heads with my 2011 iMac.
The issue I'm looking for help with, though it may seem small, is with the Safari search bar.
I know there have been discussions before about this and I've always had a difficult relationship with the search bar as it is supposed to change to your 'local' search engine, e.g. for me that would be Google UK, yet it has often defaulted to Google US which means that searches can be a little less relevant at times.
Anyway, for months things have been fine. The search bar defaulted to Google UK until the 10.7.4 update hit... All of a sudden my Google search bar now defaults to Google.com in GREEK...
Since I don't speak a word of Greek, I'm sure you can see how this has become an issue. I've tried all manner of things, resetting safari, changing language settings but have been unable to get it to change back. I tried changing to Bing search but to be honest, Google search in Greek is a **** of a lot more useful than Bing in English is, which I think says a lot.
I did have greek as a secondary keyboard layout so that I could use the greek characters for my physics work but UK English has always been my default and I have since removed Greek yet the search bar stays the same.
It's really becoming irritating now as every time I search it sets my whole Google experience to Greek with a cookie so any google.com service I use ends up in Greek and it's a pain to reset it.
Does anyone out there know how the search bar bases it's localisation on and is there any way I can reset it?

Won't google search when one word is written in address bar.

Previously when I typed one word or more in the address bar, it would do a google search. Now when I enter one word and press enter it takes me to a while page with the following message on it:
502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.3.7
It does the google search when I type more than one word.

Hi zuesuep, can you confirm that two-word searches work correctly? If you get the same error for both, reset the value of keyword.URL as described in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service
To summarize:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. Then test again in the other tab.
Any luck?

Displaying Video in Google Search Results

Hello,
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place. So I appologise if I have it wrong.
I am trying to get my video thumbnail to appear along with my website in Google Searches. I have found examples of the HTML markup and the video sitemaps and modified them to suite my needs, I have included the HTML into my website and uploaded the sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools a couple of weeks ago. However, the video still doesn't apppear in the Google Searches. I used Dreamweaver CS6 to embed the video file into my HTML4 website. Google has accepted the sitemap and everything seems to be ok, except that it still doesn't display in the Google Searches. I have placed the code I used below. Can someone please help me with where I have gone wrong.

Aslo I was wondering if there is a way with Dreamweaver to add the "Play" button onto the video clip itself instead of having it underneith the clip on the player controls.
Can someone please help me with what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

@Ken: Good find! I didn't look into the code in detail.
@potzki: No, your markup for sitemap seems fine. But like Ken said, the image is not available on the server. Also, do note that the sitemap is only an 'indicator' for Google and will help Google in understanding how your site is laid out - since it is you, the sitemaster, that creates the sitemap and pushes it to Google. But, it's not end of the road for Google. It will cache other areas of your site - unless you've explicitly told Google not to using robots.txt file.
One more observation - your domain name is like way tooooooo long - forget google, for regular people to type into. Is there a specific reason you chose this one rather than a short, concise one?

Dead Google Search Links in Safari

After making a Google search, I hit the 'back' button, only to find all of the links on the page frozen. This happens ALL the time in my Safari Google searches. Is anybody experiencing a similar issue?
For example:
1) I search "Martin Luther King" in Google (typing into the Google search box in the Safari toolbar).
2) Google shows the search results.
3) I click on an item to read it.
4) After reading the article, I hit the 'back' button to return to my search.
5) None of the search results are clickable. They're all dead. Not a single link on the page works. (Control-click does nothing, either)
This happens on a daily basis, with nearly all of my Google searches.
I have done many re-sets of Safari caches, etc. This incredibly frustrating problem continues.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
