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.

  • My adobe Flash wont load after installing the upgrade to firefox 6..how can i get it to work?

    i play the facebook games and i need to have adobe flash for it to work and when i upgraded the firefox to 6 the adobe doesnt download..i ve tried it many times and it wont download..

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    You don't.  Apple no longer ships Front Row... it's part of the OS... so it goes away when you upgraded.

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.

  • Call bar is now vertical on the right side of screen. How do I get it back on the bottom?

    Call bar is now vertical on the right side of screen. How do I get it back on the bottom? I've tried rebooting and changing screens but it won't change. I can't find a setting for that call bar.

        This isn't a native setting that I can find Relsea. Did you download an application that maybe has this function? Any luck if you reboot the phone by pulling out the battery?
    Please let us know what happens next.

  • I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

    I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

    Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

  • I had quicktime pro, I upgraded to snow leapoard and installed iLife and lost quicktime pro. How do I get it back.  I tried re installing quicktime but it will not let me??

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

  • I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? Thanks!

    I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? I am trying to eject my ipod classic, and there is no option to do so, because I cannot see the ipod, let alone the source list in itunes. I'm also unable to restore my ipod, and I get a message saying it is corrupt,and now I can't even eject it! What do I do?!? Thanks!

    Hello twangchick,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You can use the steps in this article to view the device list in iTunes and eject your iPod. The steps are slightly different for the different version of iTunes:
    Locate and view your connected iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    I know it can be frustrating to have a device that isn't working as it should, and this link may also help with restoring your iPod classic:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    If your iPod can't be restored normally, try placing it into Disk Mode. See the instructions under "iPod devices with a Click Wheel" in this article:

  • I cant find all my documents since the update it is totally different how do I get them back?

    Since my Adobe Reader updated I can't find some of my documents. It was so easy before "recent documents" were ones I had just downloaded then I  could go to "all documents " where I could rename them. This is all done on my android phone as I don't have my computer at the moment.  My question is "how do I get them back to the way it was or how do I retrieve my documents?

    I have the same question. I have hundreds of downloads in my tablet and now can't work with them. They  keep duplicating and this cloud thing won't let me delete or edit them without paying afee. I just want to open and read what I already have downloaded. I have hundreds of hours of time in my downloads and now they are worthless. If I delete DC and go back to old version will I lose all my

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.
