When I perform a Google search, loner windows also go to the google search term site.

Sometimes when I am browsing, I click on a link that opens a new window. So far, so good. Then I may go back to the main browser window and perform a Google search. The little extra window changes to the address for the search term, right along with the tab where I was actually performing the search. Sometimes this lone window is a site I need to keep open. I went into options but cannot find a solution.

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= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
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.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''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. 
N.B. Some of your plugins are out of date which exposes your system to attack. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.
Also, click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates''' to update Firefox to 3.6.19

I want to remove the yahoo search bar from Firefox and use the google search bar.

I did go to about:config and made the keyword.URL to default (Google). It is not getting affected. Please help me to know how can I set it in Firefox.
I need to remove yahoo search from my Firefox and use the Google search. I did the following steps for the same.
about:config, searched keyword:URL and reset to default.
But the change is not getting affected. Pls help

Work around that I have used (my machine is running Windows XP SP3 might work on other systems as well):
1) Ensure Firefox is closed, if necessary read this in another browser
2. Open the Firefox directory on the hard drive (typically: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox)
3. Go into the 'searchplugins' folder
4. Delete the file named 'yahoo.xml'
5. Immediately restart your machine

I've recently upgraded to Lightroom5.7.1 and now when I try to import photos a window pops up saying 'the photos can't be imported 'cos the files can't be read'. I had no problems before upgrading. I have Windows8 & can't find any 'app' which sets the type of files I can import. Any help appreciated.

Well, think about it. This is a Lightroom forum. We are here to answer questions about Lightroom and how to solve problems in Lightroom. Your permissions issue is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue. I didn't mean to be sarcastic. But there are plenty of Internet resources that will answer that question.
I just went to Google and typed in "change disk permissions", and there are links for the Mac as well as for Windows listed. There's no sense in me rewriting instructions that are already available.

Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

Hi,
Im trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, ) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

Hi Mike,
The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
Kind Regards,
Owen

A .pdf file is causing my notebook to freeze up. When I highlight it to delete, it will also freeze up the notebook. How else can I get rid of the file?

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select your startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then reboot as usual.

Where are "documents to go" files stored when I perform a Hotsync with my windows xp system?

I just upgraded my palm OS to the latest version on my Treo 755p. Prior to upgrading I did a verizon wireless sync and a hotsync with my windows XP based PC. I list all my "documents to go" files that were stored on my phone. They did not reappear when I did Hotsync after the update. They were all supposed to be Hotsynced.
Where are these files stored on my computer? How do I avoid this from happening again?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

I have never seen a file like that in My Documents. If my doucments are lost how do I set up a file on my PC where the documents are stored when I perform a hotsync?

Since when does typing a sitename in Nav Window and entering get a BING search, and how to STOP?

I am used to typing a site-name into the navigation window, hitting "ENTER" and going to that website. Example: i Type in "Amazon", hit "ENTER" and I go to immediately to Amazon. Now, since the last update, it does a Bing search. I don't WANT a Bing search, and if I did, I'd go to Bing myself.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It just started after a recent update.

See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Removing+the+Search+Helper+Extension+and+Bing+Bar
After an item in the monthly update by Microsoft on 06/08/2010 that made single word searches default to Bing. Microsoft seems to not be interested in offering a fix for those who are affected, but did issue a revision of the update after much complaining with no explanation as to how to correct the situation. There has been a great deal of discussion on this forum concerning the issue. Some users have found a solution, some have not.:

When I open Yahoo email and try to compose an email, the Bing search tool is in the body of the email field.

In IE I don't have the problem but in Firefox, when I open my yahoo mail and try to compose - that damn Bing search tool is right in the body of the email and I can't type an email. If I do type, my cursor size is the height and color of the Bing type which is large and light colored and you can't read the email. What a pain in the ass. Whoever is responsible for these pr0blems ought to be sent to a war zone. In their underwear.

On google.ca, enter key does not trigger the google search action. I have to manually click the search button

Hi there. Recently I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. I don't recall if the issue occurred prior to this upgrade, but as of right now, if I go to my homepage of www.google.ca and type in a search criteria and hit the enter key, what used to happen of course, is that it would trigger the actual search and the page would refresh with any matching results.
This no longer happens. If I click the button labelled "Google Search" the search works. It's just the enter key that doesn't seem to register.
On a side note, F5 no longer refreshes my page, and I'm sure this worked previously. Now I have to click the Go/Stop/Reload button to the right of the address bar.

Do you have ''AVG Safe Search'' installed? It blocks the use of the Enter key after typing in a search.
Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. You should be able to find it in there.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

The following error message comes up every time I run the Itunes installer package.

I've tried several downloads, but they all end with the same error message.
I also resently had my hard drive cleared due to a virus, so possibly missing something?

I have been running Firefox on my PowerPC G5 for years and have just tried to install 4.0. When I attempt to start Firefox, a window opens telling me the application cannot be launched. I have installed it twice with the same result. What gives?

I have a PowerPC G5 quad core Mac with a pre-intel chip. I have been running Firefox successfully for over five years and have used every version in operation during that time. Tonight, I received notice that the latest version of 3.6 was ready to install and that I needed to restart. I did that and was taken to a page telling me that 4.0 was available for downloading and use. So I downloaded the new 4.0 and tried to install it in the typical Mac fashion. After clicking on the dmg, I dragged the icon into my applications folder and onto the dock. But when I click on the icon on the dock, I get the message: The application cannot be launched. 10661
When I try to launch by double clicking in the applications folder, I get the message: You cannot open the application Firefox because it is not supported on this system.
I had to go to your site using Safari of all things! I tried re-installing it with another download, and that one misbehaves in the same way. By the way, in case it matters, I still have 42 GB available on my hard drive and 5 GB of RAM.
There is one other funny thing. The Firefox icon from the disk image has a white circle with the slash through it on top of the fox and world symbol. That is what appears in my applications folder and in my dock. It appears to be saying NOT FIREFOX, as it would indicate in a NO U-TURN sign. What is this all about?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

It's between the Control and Command keys on the lower left. It's also called alt but is best know as the Option key. You are using an Apple keyboard aren't you?

When I try downloading Kindle for PC Windows 8 I get the message "this link needs to be opened with an applicatio"-and I don't know what I have to do

Hi, I have just brought a new laptop running windows 8 and have installed Firefox. My old laptop was running XP and I didn't have a problem running Firefox on it. I am trying to install Kindle for PC on my new laptop but I keep getting the message "this link needs to be opened with an application". I've never seen this message before on any web browser that I have used. I have "googled" the question and some suggestions are:
> reloading Firefox-no point I've just loaded it
> downloading through Internet Explorer-which I don't want to do as I want Firefox my browser of choice
> Some talk of changing profiles-which I haven't a clue about.
Any help in plain and simple English and assuming I have no prior knowledge (I'm a car driver rather than a mechanic) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with downloads from the Windows 8 app store. Have you had problems with any other store downloads, or just this one? Is it an option to save the file?

When I perform a Google search, loner windows also go to the google search term site.
