Yahoo is the default autosearch from address bar, despite altering about:config and keyword.URL
== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
The name says it all. Keyword.URL is set to default, "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=" It brings me to a Yahoo results page when I type a Non-URL into the addressbar. "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=searchterm&fr=greentree_ff1&ei=utf-8&type=374563" How can I set it back to Google's "I'm feeling lucky" default?
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== Recently, no new addons however.
==

See if changing 4 options in AVG corrects the problem with Yahoo search: http://www.avg.com/special-toolbar-how-to-disable-search-tlbrf.tpl-mcr1
Other Issues: ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
Install/Update Adobe Reader for Firefox (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox): your ver. 9.3.2; current ver. 9.3.3 (important security update release 06-29-2010; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader ~~red:You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system~~ instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open, click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~ -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: ActiveX
- Also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader ~~red:AND~~ How do I edit options to add Adobe to the list of allowed sites
I can't seem to open the toolbar you are talking about. I'm not sure I can access the settings based on your link. I do not have that toolbar accessible, nor does AVG open anything in a new tab.
You are unable to do as the instructions say: ~~red:*Or, from the Toolbar you can click on the AVG logo drop down, and then click on Options 2.Once the Options Dialog has opened, click the "Advanced Options" Tab~~
Also, under the image of the panel, it says: ~~red:Note: To access the Toolbar Options, be sure that the AVG Toolbar is visible in your browser. Click on View > Toolbars and make sure AVG Security Toolbar is checked.~~
If you can not access it, then you may need to see if someone at AVG can assist you in opening the Options > Advanced panel. I do not use that product.
