Why have my Search engines vanished from search box

After Firefox performed update all my most used search engines have vanished from search box,clicking manage SE's presents me with no clickable buttons to restore defaults or enter se names & only shows one old SE which I do not use.
I hate FF updates they always mess up.

You may have switched to the en-GB Firefox version with the last update.
You can get the en-US Firefox version here:
* Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • Search Engines gone from search box (FF V20.0)

    The search engines are gone in the search box in FF V20.0. When I click the icon, it opens up the dialog box, where none of the search engines that I previously had are listed. When I click the "manage search engines" link, nothing happens.
    Possibly related to W7 Roaming profile enter key issue.
    Had to bump back to V19.0 for everything to work right.

    It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

  • Why have category colours suddenly vanished from my calendar?

    I have several categories for events in my calendar. I have selected different colours for each. Until a few days ago, these colours showed on my calendar - down the side of my events. Any idea why they don't show any more?

  • Why have you deleted all the common search engine in the SEB?

    Why have you deleted all the common search engine in the search engine box. It appears that all you want to do is irritate your public!

    They have not been deleted, as they are not present in your computer it indicates there is a problem with your system. Try removing the search.sqlite file as shown in the "Unable to search" section of this link - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines
    That file contains details about the installed search engines, deleting the file will force Firefox to rebuild the list.

  • Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

    Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
    I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

    Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
    A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem <br />
    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
    Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

  • How do I add a search engine to the search bar from a hard disk file?

    I want to add a search engine to the search bar from an XML file on my hard disk. "Manage Search Engines" from the search bar drop down list only appears to allow adding search engines from web sites.
    Thanks.

    Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
    It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
    Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

  • RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
    IT DOESN'T WORK
    I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    Hi Kvoter,
    What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
    *''' it should be able to do that'''
    * my firefox does that
    I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
    I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
    * the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
    *the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
    If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
    Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.
    John

  • I dowloard a book sample to iBook. I then deleted it and bought the book and downloaded it. The search engine will only search the 45-page sample and not the full book. How do I get iBook to search the full book?

    I downloaded a book sample to iBook. I deleted it and then bought the full book and downloaded it. The search engine keeps only searching the sample, about 50 pages, and not the full book. How do I get the search engine to search the full book?

    I am having this exact issue. I just downloaded a book and went to open it and got this exact problem.
    I purchased he book through indigo/kobo edition and paid for it and immediately went to open it and am getting the same error
    Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem only mine says  Bad Device key after.
    Not sure why someone has not answered this question yet...i am using windows 7 and this is how i always do it. Never had this problem before when purchasing a book.
    i hope someone answers this soon.

  • I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

    I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
    How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

    Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
    6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
    2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
    3. Select "Bing".
    4. Click the "Remove" button.
    5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
    6. Click "OK"
    All Done.... :-)
    Happy Searching...

    When I initialize Firefox Bing comes up as the Search Engine in the Search box. I know I can pull down to get others. Is there someway for me to specify Google as the one displayed when Firefox initializes? Thank you.

  • Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out?

    Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out? I bought a Creative Cloud sub for a whole year about a month ago - with auto renewal too. I went back and checked my account with Adobe. That all seems to be in order. Why have I got an email telling me I have till 10 June 2012 before the sub runs out?

    I too have received this email and one telling me my trial software expires in 2 days. I checked and yes, again I'm showing trial software though AAM shows the creative cloud copy downloaded and installed. I was unable to reach anyone within 20 minutes of hold at Adobe customer support phone but was able to speak to someone named Karal on chat. Karal told me that Adobe would look into the matter and get back to me. When I asked for a case number I was told one would be sent to me after the chat. I'm still waiting.
    There are numerous problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud as everyone knows. What we need to keep in mind when dealing with Adobe Creative Cloud is that we are all BETA testers for this new type of service. Adobe was and is unprepared to service the Creative Cloud at this time but I can't believe they are not working to resolve the problems. Will some customers get "screwed" over during this BETA testing period? Of course. You have to expect that you will and take it with a grain of salt. Let's face it there really isn't another option to Ps/Dw/Lr/Acrobate is there? No, so let's calm down and try to help each other. The poor souls on the other end of Customer Support are just as lost and confused as we are..it's not their fault and they have no power or resources to fix the overall problems.
    I can tell you what I’ve done for the company I work for since I recommended the cloud and obviously it was not a good choice for us at this time,
    On 6/9 we will cancel the subscriptions to the cloud unless I find that the individual software will not recieve maintenance updates as is now the current rumor.
    We will upgrade our individual software packages with the upgrade option and request CD backups.
    We have contracted with DropBox for a 500mg box. I really like this service so far.
    I’m hoping this puts me back in good status with the boss and the graphics department as everyone will get what the need to work without the limitations of the cloud and without me spending hours each day trying to figure out support issues.
    Remember if you can live through the next 6 to 10 months the Creative Cloud will probably be a great thing. If not, bail now and come back when it's ready for "prime time". As we use to say in my RANGER days. "Suck it up soldier; this is what we train for!"
