It's up to the user to decide which setting to use. The default is 'True' to speed up web browsing.

Yes, I completely understand that. I was just referring to the way you phrased that sentence. You specifically said that "this tweak" speeds up the browser. The tweaks basically is setting that value to false since the default value is true. So in essence, you were saying that "this tweak (meaning you disabled it) will speed up the browser" when in fact the default value of true is the one speeding up the browser.

Thanks for clarifying. I went back and changed the description so everyone can better understand the setting.

No problem, was just an FYI. Sorry if I didn't explain well.

I just installed Waterfox on Windows7 x64 and it is working fine.

I am unable to install any search engine in Waterfox, it is just showing a blank dialog.

I am trying to add duckduckgo.com or startpage.com as my main search engine and default.

Please help me resolve this issue.

There's two ways to add/change your search engine. The first is going to Firefox add-ons page ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/ ) and entering 'duck' or 'startpage' in the search box then adding the search engine you prefer.

The second is actually going to the search page/site then clicking the little down arrow where your search box is and choosing 'Add (insert search engine)'.

You can also choose 'Manage Search Engines...' to add/remove/edit search engines.

I know that process, but, as I already mentioned. When I clicked "Add to Firefox", I am getting a blank box with no matter and "OK", "Cancel" buttons. Clicking on OK does not work.
I am adding the screenshots for clear understanding.

gvvsss - Seems like your controls are corrupt and not working properly. There's actually two things to try to fix this. First go to options and select the 'Advanced' tab on top. Then deselect the 'Use hardware acceleration when available'. <-- Box should be empty. Restart Waterfox and see if that fixes it.

If that doesn't fix it, then exit/close Waterfox. Press the SHIFT key on your keyboard and left-click the Waterfox icon/program to start it. This will bring up the Safe Mode box. Select 'Reset toolbars and controls' then click 'Make Changes and Restart'. Hopefully this will fix it. If not, let me know.

Dear djkilla

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

The Hardware acceleration thing did not fix the issue. But, the SAFE MODE trick worked.

I did not check the "Reset Toolbars" though, but still I could add the search engines in SAFE MODE.

I restarted Waterfox normally and now the search engines are added and working.

Thanks again for the immediate response.

By the way, can you tell me why PRINTING from firefox or waterfox is very slow and resource consuming compared to printing from IE or Chrome ?

I faced this issue many times...

My system configuration:

AMD Phenom II x4 955B 3.2 GHz, ASUS M5A, 8 GB RAM, Waterfox 12, Chrome19, IE9.
Printers used: PDF-XChange 4.0 and Canon iR 4570.

Printing a webpage of 500 A4 pages with images and text

in IE took just 15 seconds on my system with the PDF printer

in Chrome took 30 seconds

in Waterfox/firefox took 3 minutes (Failed thrice after rendering 180 pages at 52%, saying "printer error")

I am having to go to Chrome everytime I want to PRINT something...
