Have set up a new computer with Firefox and cannot get it to use google as a search engine. Have also tried to set up a speeddial using FVD. Can anyone help?

Hello EJohnDavies,

Probably a rhetorical question, but have you set Google to be the default search engine in 3-bar menu (or Tools) => Options => Search  ?

Your system details show that you have this add-on installed :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fvd-speed-dial/

If it's not working, may I suggest that you contact the developers  ?

(Under 'More information' => Support Email)

Have checked on the laptop in question and have changed it. Working ok, thanks

Sorry false alarm. On second test, message secure connection failed. Totally stumped now! Can you help?

Would you please take a look at this :

Any good  ?

Found within the article a comment about Kapersky settings and followed it, now got my wife's machine working on google.

MANY THANKS

I'm glad you've got things working  !

(Personal opinion : Kaspersky is a major pain in the neck)
