Why aren't google or yahoo searches responding in this beta edition?

When I try to do a search nothing happens or I cannot even type in the field. Previously I had no problems before this beta test! The screen has mozilla as the first bar line, yahoo as the second bar line and google or yahoo as the big screen search with a blank space to type in but nothing happens after that. I'm not a wiz but something is certainly not working. I have a laptop with windows vista and don't know what to do! I can access yahoo mail and facebook without any problem. Should I just uninstall this beta test of mozilla? And how?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • TS3230 Why aren't Google and Yahoo loading in Safari with Maverics?  After several failed attempts, a "wireless diagnostics" zipped folder appeared on my desktop.  I'm using a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.2

    I updated to Maverics and now yahoo and google do not load in Safari - i get a "connot connect to server" warning.  other websites load just fine. 
    Also, after several attempts to access the aforementioned sites, a zipped file/folder appeared on my desktop titled "WirelessDiagnostics"
    What in the world is going on here?  I attached a screenshot of the zip file.

    Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    www.google.com
    Launch the Network Utility application.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
    Important Note
    Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • Can not do google or yahoo search

    Can not do google or yahoo searches. IExplorer has the same problem. I have run Malwarebytes and AVG nothing fixes it.
    You sure must get a lot of question since there is so many hoops to jump through to write a message. This is to bad.
    Future or present release would be nice to have a home page for a new created tab.

    Wondering if you found an answer.  I have yahoo calendar that my admin assistant uses from her computer to put in appointments etc.  I have had Yahoo sync to iCal for quite a while, and it has been working pretty well.  Now I am trying to get the Yahoo calendar to go to icloud. Yahoo is still syncing with my iCal on my macbook, but that is not translating to the icloud calendar.  The only thing that goes from iCal mac to icloud is calendar (under ON MY MAC) - which really has nothing on it.  All of the separate calendars from yahoo show up on the iCal side bar under Yahoo, but I can't figure out how to get them to show up (or transfer) to the icloud calendar.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • How do i get Google and yahoo search engines to stay on Top Sites?

    How can I get Google and Yahoo search engines to stay on "Top Sites"?

    You pin the site to the top sites tiles
    1. Hover your cursor over the site on top sites you want
    2. Wait for the two buttons to show up in the top left corner
    3. Tap the one with the pin so it highlights in blue

  • Why am I directed to yahoo search whenb signing out of hotmail email

    For the past few weeks, I've been directed to the yahoo search site when trying to sign out of my hotmail email account. I do not use yahoo search engine, so I'm not sure why this is suddenly started. Is there an issue with microsoft or might my cookies need to be cleared?

  • Why does using Google in the search bar (and only Google) not let me open search results in the same tab?

    Hello,
    When I use Google in the search bar, I have to open the search results in a new tab. If I simply click on them to open in the current tab, I'm inevitably redirected right back to the main Google site. This has only started happening in the past month or two -- I'm considering switching to Chrome after 5 years with Firefox because of this. Please help! It's incredibly frustrating to consistently have to remind myself to open all search results in a new tab. It's quite a waste of time over the course of a day.
    Here are the basic steps:
    1) I do a search using Google in the search bar.
    2) As is supposed to happen, the search returns results in the current tab.
    3) When I click on a result link, I'm immediately sent back to www.google.com.
    4) If I hit back to try to return to the search results, I'm taken to the page that was loaded BEFORE I even did the search.
    5) If, and only if, I instead right-click or Mouse3 click on the search results and open them in a new tab, I can successfully go to the search result pages.
    --Thank you

  • Why is firefox defaulting to yahoo search i tried reinstalling and can find no add ons or plugins

    still see yahoo/avast on the search line on start up of firefox also in any further searches it goes to yahoo cant find it in extensions or add ons or add remove programs
    checked the question sites

    If you see Avast then it is likely that Avast software is causing this issue and you need to check the settings in that program and also disable extensions added by Avast to Firefox.

  • Why aren't reviews displayed in search

    i search for an app...say "best photography app" and a bunch of photography apps are shown.  you used to be able to search by relevance (price, ratings/reviews), date launched, etc. but now all of that is missing and you have to open each app individually to see the reviews.  super annoying.  anyone?

  • Why wont my Google history dropdown search menu work.

    Since changing to Firefox 4

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Why aren't my Lightroom files showing as able to import/edit in Photoshop Touch?

    Hello,
    Perhaps this is a stupid questions but I have several photos I have uploaded to Creative Cloud from Lightroom 5.6.  I needed to make some minor edits (hopefully using Photoshop Touch) but when I logged into the Creative Cloud in Photoshop Touch, it says i only have 2GB of space and I don't see any of my Lightroom photos.  Only the photos I had already been editing in Photoshop Touch.  Is the Creative Cloud segregated such that only photos I open in Photoshop will be available to Photoshop Touch via the Creative Cloud?
    Thanks,

    I totally forgot that Lightroom Mobile more-or-less works as an extension of Lightroom for the desktop. Sync'ing in Lightroom Mobile essentially syncs with your Lightroom projects on the desktop.
    Still, depending on the file format, you should be able to open an image that was worked on in Lightroom, even if it's in RAW. (PS Touch can work with RAW files but they have to be uploaded to Creative Cloud first; also, RAW file support seems rudimentary; any adjustments made in Lightroom or Camera Raw do not show up in the original RAW file since those are stored separately in either the Camera Raw/Lightroom database or an XMP sidecar file.)

  • Why does Yahoo Search appear when I open a new tab, when Google is my default homepage?

    Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, when I open a new tab the yahoo search page appears, but my homepage is www.google.com.
    I have three tabs open at all times on my main foxfire window and always ask to restore them: Yahoo mail (my account), www.imdb.com, and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. Anytime I open a new tab http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears, but my default homepage is set to www.google.com.
    Interestingly, when I open a new window for firefox my default homepage of www.google.com appears, but http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears when I open new tabs.
    Why????
    Very annoying, but the highest of priorities.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

  • I have a mac book pro with os x 10.5.8.......sometimes will not load google or yahoo, or any other search engine, but will load regular sites.....why is this?

    i have a mac book pro with os x 10.5.8.......sometimes will not load google or yahoo, or any other search engine, but will load regular sites.....why is this?

    Check System Preferences - Accounts
    Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
    shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
    It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
    Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

  • Clicked on any the link searched by using google or yahoo, it opened a new tab on latest update. Why's not direct the link on the same tab like last update?

    When I'm using google, yahoo or ask, or any search engine website. I did any random research used and clicked on any link searched by google, it immediately opened and directed me to the new tab to the link that I just clicked. My question is: Why isn't direct the link that I want to load on the same tab? It didn't happen on the last update. Is this a bug? If it's not then is there any solution? Maybe the setting. I will thanks and appreciate for any help.

    Opening the results in the same tab or in a new tab can be set via the search settings page of the Google and Yahoo! sites.
    For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the gear icon at the top right, click that button to open the menu list and select Search settings.
