The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.

Question owner

google could not open in our country although it is very good.

Question owner

my question is that the input box could not capture the focus, if I want to use the default page, as the picture

Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

• You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
• Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Question owner

your method could not works. I think my problem is not caused by any extension, my question is not exist in other pages. such as below: http://www.baidu.com/.

of your default page's

Question owner

this is my problem:

Question owner

My pc is win7 64 bit, my firefox is 18.0,

Question owner

i am a funs of firefox and google. , however, google could not work recently, so i have to use baidu, a search engine of CCP.

The start.firefoxchina.cn doesn't have JavaScript to set focus to the search bar like the www.baidu.com page has, so you have to press the tab key a few times to move the focus to the input field in the case of the former.

Question owner

What do I need to do to set focus to the search bar? i mean add these javascript in my browser, or modify some code of it. I DO NOT WANT TO SPENT MORE TIME WHEN I SURFING...

A bookmarklet with this JavaScript code will do it:

javascript:void(document.getElementById('search-key').focus());

Question owner

i think a bookmark is only a url, i don't know where to add the javascript. do you mean the bookmark is a local page that i could modify it??

Question owner

how should i find the local page? in installation Path?

You can convert the code to a Greasemonkey or Scriptish script to have it run automatically on document-end.

document.getElementById('search-key').focus()
