Why won't firefox search?

Why won't firefox search when I type anything into the search bar? It lists everything I've typed in before but when you click search it just sits there doing nothing. If I use the search bar in the top right corner it searches just fine, but nothing from the central search line.
Also what is the line below this for? if I mouse over it I get a pointy finger, but it is blank and remains blank.

If you can't clear that saved form and search history then there may be nothing to clear.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why won't firefox close

Why won't Firefox close properly? When I close the program and then try and restart it, I get an error message which says "Firefox is already open....." I then have to go into the Task Manager to close it down.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?
I paid for it, it uses less energy, less bandwidth, during emergencies, we would have radio access & FEMA would like it activated.
I asked an Apple tech on chat and they said there is no FM capability on the phone. I asked if my iPhone has a Broadcom chip and they ended the chat. I had to give them my phone number twice, but they never called back with me back to answer the question. According to NPR the chip is activated in other countries.

could it be because the iphone6 don't have an Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Firefox won't download?

Why won't Firefox download? It completed the set up stage then stops.

If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance.
In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
# Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
#Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
#Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why won't iMessage activate?!

I had a previous problem with my brother, without my knowledge, jailbreaking my iPhone. Luckily though I managed to restore it and update it to IOS jailbreak FREE thank god.
But for some reason when I try to turn on FaceTime or iMessage, it just says 'Waiting for activation...' for ages and won't actually activate, I've tried many methods to fix this but nothing seems to have worked, what I've tried below:
Restore the iPhone via iTunes
Reset Network Settings
Sign out Apple ID, turn phone off, turn phone on, Sign in, turn on iMessage
Reset all settings
Turn off 3G, Mobile Data
Turn iMessage/FaceTime off then on
Remove SIM Card, restart iPhone, turn on iMessage
Erase All Content and Settings
Restore from a Backup
Out of all of that, NOTHING HAS WORKED?! Please help me, as I need iMessage to message my boss, girlfriend and parents as I haven't got the money to top up my GiffGaff balance.

Why won't Firefox allow access to leaving comments on the UK's Daily Telegraph site but Safari does?

I have Firefox 3.5.3 on my iBook running Mac OS 10.5.8 as well as Safari 5.0.3. I occasionally want to use the leave a comment facility on a newspaper site (the Daily Telegraph in the UK) but despite logging into my account I cannot do so. At first I thought it was a fault with the paper's website, but I fired up Safari and found there is no such problem. So the fault must lie with Firefox. Can this be true? And, if so, why?

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.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Why won't Firefox 5 work with Mail Chimp?

Why doesn't Firefox 5.x work with MailChimp. Edit screens and tools in MailChimp worked fine in Firefox 4.x, but not in Firefox 5.x. In Firefox file, the "edit" screens for the MailChimp email editor display blank pages with no tool bars. Have to go back to Internet Explorer 9.x or Google Chrome in order to edit in Mail Chimp.
