WHen I try searching by typing in address bar, I found yahoo as my default search engine which I want to be changed to google.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/816389]''
There are 3 different options for searching in Mozilla
# Open Google.com and start searching
# Enter your search string in Search bar
# Enter you text in address bar and press space bar and then press enter.
Now when I try to search through address bar then I found yahoo as my default search engine which I want to be changed to Google.com
Please tell me the way of changing this.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Firefox 4 seems to hang when I try to type in the address bar...

I have Windows 7, Firefox 4.0, and am trying F-Secure Internet security 2011 trial. My issue is when I am browsing, quite often when I am typing in the address bar or search bar nothing happens. I cannot highlight the text or anything. I have figured I have to wait about 10 seconds for it to clear. Or I can close the browser and reopen and it works.
This is annoying. Is this a Firefox issue or a F-Secure issue? I installed both 4.0 and the F-Secure trail at the same time.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.

Safari 5 Crashing on Windows 7 x64 when typing in address bar.

As stated in the subject, the problem I have with Safari 5 is when I try to type in the address bar. Safari simply crashes with this log:

What seems strange is that everything else works fine. I can check my rss feeds and I can even type into the google search bar and pull up the website I need. I just can't use the address bar. I'm thinking this might have to do with the new features in Safari 5 but I don't know enough to pin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be an issue for other users as well.
Edit: I Have "Reset Safari" and it seems to be working for now. I'll give it a while and see what happens. I thought it was strange that I should have to do this but I read it on another post. It seems to be working so far. Perhaps there is something else though that is crashing it? I'll leave this open until I get a response.

I had this exact problem on Windows XP. As soon as I tried typing in the address bar, crash. Every single time. I also reset everything and it stopped the constant crashes related to the address bar. It still seems much less stable than Safari 4, as I cannot got more than a couple hours without a random crash still occurring.
I have reset Safari again and went a step further and uninstalled it, uninstalled all Apple software, deleted all Apple data from Documents and Setting (All users and my user), reinstalled Safari (and iTunes, mobileme control pane, etc)...still crashing frequently, usually at least once an hour but never less than once every couple hours.

Safari keeps crashing when i try to type in web addresses

safari keeps crashing when i try to type in web addresses. how do i fix this

Back up all data. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Reset Safari...
Check these boxes:
          Clear history
          Remove all website data
Uncheck all other boxes. Press return. Test.
If Safari crashes immediately on launch and you can't do as above, hold down the shift key and launch it by clicking its icon in the Dock, then try. Failing that, ask for guidance.

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Applet won't launch when using a search-engine cached or translated page

My applet won't launch successfully if the page is encased in a search-engine cache envelope, or translated. For example:
* [url http://translate.google.co.jp/translate?hl=ja&sl=en&u=http://www.r0k.us/graphics/SIHwheel.html&ei=yR7xTNKLOoSdlgfK3YzeDA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEAQ7gEwBDgU&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dtrue%2Bcolor%2Bcharacteristics%26start%3D20%26hl%3Dja%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7ADRA_en%26prmd%3Db]Japanese translation of my Interactive Color Wheel
Is there something I can do in either the Java code or the HTML page itself to allow the applet to work?
The following appears in the Java Console on failure:
load: class SIHwheel.class not found.

A potential solution occurred to me right after I posted, and I think it may be working. (Can't tell for sure until search engine cache's updated with this change.) Basically I expanded the .jar archive name:
<script type='text/javascript'>

</script>Before the change, the archive line simply referenced 'SIHwheel.jar'.
The one downside to this, assuming it works, is that I'll need two versions of the page. A local one on my hard drive for when I want to test before deploying, and the networked version with the full URL. That's a worthwhile trade-off, though.
Edited by: RichF on Nov 27, 2010 10:39 AM
PS: the link in first post still fails, but it seems to be accessing yesterday's version of the page (date on bottom). Also I note that the HTML for that Google-translated page and Bing's cache page contain:
<base href=http://www.r0k.us/graphics/SIHwheel.html />That works well for accessing all the locally-referenced images on the page, but for some reason fails to find the .jar file without a complete URL. The [url http://r0k.us/graphics/applet-fu.js]applet-fu.js script does not appearing to be adorning the archive line in any way.

When opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.
