Hi friends.

As shown in the image, if I enable "Address Bar - (suggest) Browsing history" option at about:preferences#search page, bunch of subordinate pages are displayed, which is barely useful, in my opinion.

I want to hide them, but I want to keep the auto completion functioning. For instance: I want my Firefox to complete https://youtube.com/ with only typing y, but don't want to see those 'Firefox Suggestion' pages.

Is it possible to set it this way? Or I can't just have it both ways? Please let me know.

(Thanks in advance, and responses in easy English will be much appreciated; I'm a beginner in English.)

Regards, 흡폐치

Hello,

I have disabled AI according to the instructions given by Mozilla, under settings and AI controls. When I search, I still get the first result as an AI generated result. I want to disable that. I don't need AI's help to understand what I am looking for. I want an old school search without AI.

Is this possible? If not, could you please make it possible?

Thanks.

Usually, when I start typing the address of a website I visit frequently, Firefox will suggest the complete address. Now, for the last week or so, it doesn't. For example, if I start typing guardian.com, the default is to search, and then only when I type the final "m" does it switch to "visit" when I press enter.

In settings, under Search, and Address bar, the box to suggest browsing history is checked, and at about:config, browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true.

I have Firefox version 141.0.3

Why can't I just delete recent searches

I want to delete just the recent searches or rather where it says duckduckgo suggestions, but I don't want to do it 1 by 1 (because that parts doable of google since it's 1 click on duckduckgo that differs) or just make it disappear but not delete. I just don't want them there.

Turning off "Show search suggestions" makes it disappear which isn't what I want. Is there a way to get rid of/ delete them in mass without just turning it off?

Add &num=100 to end of current URL Google search string by setting up a bookmark

I want Google to return 100 search items in Firefox. All the descriptions of how to do this mean you have to do the search, then go to the end of the address bar and add &num=100 and enter.

This is very tedious so I set up a special bookmark which did it. So I'd do the search, then click the bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and it would expand the hits to 100. However, I've lost the bookmark and I can't remember how I did it.

When adding a bookmark to the toolbar you need to specify the URL. In this case the URL will be the generated address from the search, ie. the current URL each time. How can I specify the curent URL when it is a dynamic address? It needs to start with "http" in order for it to be in the right format to save.

Hi there,

Is it possible to add Dictionary.com to the Search bar so words entered there are searched at that site?

Previous versions of FF allowed me to map that site to that field.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.

Thanks.

This is a little embarassing to admit, but my firefox suggest keeps suggesting me spankbang.com when i type sp, I noticed this when i was trying to search spanish on the search bar.

When I follow the suggestion to it's full autocomplete it leads to a video I watched a long time ago but have since cleared from my history. I tried long pressing spankbang to remove it from suggest but I don't really know how to remove this. I did include a screenshot, but the attached troubleshoot data is from my computer not my phone. I'm not sure how to include that.

Please help me, I have a date and I don't want to accidentally have that autocomplete.

Sincerely, Firefox Android User.

In the example, I typed dict and got dictionary.reference.com, while the bookmark I wanted was just ductionary.com. Thank you.

Alternative search engines no longer appear when typing the stasrt of a search. Am able to set alternative search engine in settings but need to go back to settings if I want to use another one. This happened after a recent update - perhaps as much as a week ago.

The topmost item shown in the URL bar and the entry just below above the words, Firefox Suggest is an irritant for me. Where is this coming from and how do I eliminate this from the suggestions/autocomplete? I know it is NOT in my bookmarks and not in my browsing history.

Thanks for your help.

Auto-fill URL like Chrome

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initiall… (read more)

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initially, it doesn’t do this, but if you do it repeatedly, Chrome eventually learns and sends you directly to that URL when you type "maps". The same happens with "gmail" or even just "gm", which redirect to "gmail.com" or "mail.google.com". Does Firefox have this kind of feature?

I think I browsed a reddit thread from a few years ago asking this same problem having something to do with autofill frequency which doesn't work, because the actual url is not, in the example of maps, maps.google.com and the url I want to enter redirects to it.

With the latest update, some of the shortcuts that appear when I click on the address bar have changed. Now several of them are for websites that I don't use on a regular basis. Is there any way to remove them? Is there any way to add back shortcuts for sites that I do use on a regular basis?
