My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

When I open Firefox on my MacBook Pro laptop, the widgets will not load content. The first attached images is a screenshot of a current display. the other two images are screenshots of troubleshooting steps that appear to relate, but I'm not sure which might apply. When I try Step 1 "Force Enable System Widgets", I have found the setting to be "false"...which I set to True...but that doesn't fix the problem.

In the homescreen, the number of shortcuts in each row is inconsistent.

When on the home screen and with setting "3 rows" for shortcuts, the third row has two missing slots and I cannot add extra ones to fill in the gap. I don't want to make … (read more)

When on the home screen and with setting "3 rows" for shortcuts, the third row has two missing slots and I cannot add extra ones to fill in the gap. I don't want to make it "4 rows" as it will show an "add shortcuts" button which I feel is unnecessary if I plan to leave the 4th row empty. It is also happening on LibreWolf

ok i asked this before and that did not help why does firefox not let me open the old yahoo mail ? i put the link in the startup custom url and it drops half of the custom i entered and the when i reopen the browser i get the same new mail.

so i go to the settings and then to startup and then i click on custom urls and then enter the custom url https://mail.yahoo.com/d/settings/1 that is what i do in a new browser and that takes me to the old yahoo email back page and so i click the back arrow in that screen and it goes back the old yahoo email page.

when i paste that custom url into the custom url field and it saves this mail.yahoo.com that take me to the new yahoo email page and that new yahoo sucks, it is about as worthless as gmail.

so how do you save the actual custom url you need to save for the startup of fire fox. i'm about to go back the goggles browser at least that one opens all the correct pages i want to use.

it does the same with ebay but at least ebay is set to open my watch list when i first go to ebay. thanks


those crash reports may be form my other pc that crashes the tabs all day long. so i took that out of service for now and i will be reinstalling the os again to clear out the hd someplace on that pc is a bug so it seems i have to different profiles and i have tried to get one profile to use on both pc and that fails bad. but that will be another question after i get this figured out the photo are i think the 1st is what i want and the 2nd is what i;m getting after i save and see that is wrong i will reply to correct them if i do not reply then they are correct. thanks

This is probably more a suggestion than a question.

In the "Home" section of the settings under "Firefox Home Content" there are two different settings for creating shortcuts for pages you visit - one under the choice of "Shortcuts" (on/off) and then just below that there is another choice for "Recent Activity" (on/off) with a sub-menu (on/off) choice for "Visited Pages".

I realize these are two different things (logo thumbnail for the first/webpage images for the second). But I find it not only redundant, but since I don't want to clutter my home page with recent visits, and I only chose the first shortcut setting, every time I visit a site, that is now added to the icons that I HAVE chosen. And worse, when I delete one, a new one pops up in its place, sometimes four or five or more times, whether I "Dismiss" or "Delete from history".

It seems to me that there should be a choice for "Sites visited" in the Shortcuts choice or not include that at all.

The only way to s top it is to fill up the rows. I'm getting there but until I do, I keep fighting with these new shortcuts popping up on their own.

Hi Firefox Team,

I know how hard you guys work and I've used you almost exclusively since the beginning in 2003 and talked a lot of folks into switching to you over the years.

I'm so frustrated about your decisions to change the options for what we users want on our home page and new tabs. Seems I can only use a blank page or your default home page. And if I want my normal home page I need to click on the home icon. In the course of a day, that's a LOT of extra clicking or the alternative, typing my search query into a tiny URL bar.

Are you planning to change this? Or is this Mozilla control by default the new norm? I'm so sad to admit to be exploring Mullvad and Brave now. Never would have even considered it, even though I'm consciously weaning off other US digital products.

Thanks for any suggestions and for all you do. (Yes my IOS is up to date)

I really miss the home symbol (a little house), as it allowed me to go back to the original page- blank. I could just start over without having to clear the address bar. It was way better than without it. Any way I can get it back?
