I just upgraded to FF 31. Now when I choose a website from my history, instead of being taken to the website, I am taken to google search results. This is really frustrating. I saw an article about changing the search info in the config file, and I changed it, but I'm still getting the same result.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Note that your System Details list shows that you have preferences that were used in previous Firefox versions and that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You can delete the user.js file and rename (or delete) the prefs.js and numbered pref-## files to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Thank you! It was an extension issue. I'm not sure which one, but I removed a bunch that I was no longer using and that fixed the issue.
