Whenever I open a new firefox window it opens to bing as my search engine even though I have bing unselected and removed from my search engines and google as my default browser for my account, I do not like using bing so if this can be fixed I would really appreciate it. When i open firefix for the first time after closing all windows it opens to my last tabs and stays as google but as soon as I open a second window its suddenly bing, I have triple checked my browser settings to make sure that google is still my default and that bing is removed.

In the last couple of weeks, when I've used the FF address bar to search using Google, I get a Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer message. Sometimes I can just click "i am not a robot" and continue; other times i have to complete a (or several!) captcha before i can proceed.

Also, whether or not I get an AI reply above the results seems entirely random. Before, it used to happen every time, but now I often get "thinking" and then a blank space.

If, instead, I open Google.com and use that page to search, I never get the "unusual traffic" message or a need to complete a captcha. But the AI 'problem' persists.

Lately, after entering a search item in the address bar, I get the results but when I click on the item I'm searching for, it opens a new window with the same search results. This can repeat about three to five times before my desired article opens in a new window, so I have up to six browser tabs open..

I've been a long time user of Firefox, ever since Netscape tanked, but this recent issue is starting to anoy me. When ever I do a search directly on the adress bar using Google I receive a blank page with no results. Sometimes the Google homepage doesn't even open and when it does, the page just freezes after I press enter to do the search. I've tried clearing the cookies and cache and playing arround with the privacy settings, no sucess. I have no extentions or any kindd of costumization in the browser. If I open any page typing the correct adress or use one of the other search engines everything works fine. I've instaled and uninstaled Firefox many times, different versions and languages, also with not sucess. I even reinstaled windows...

What's wrong?

Added by FF - poor move on FF part. Unlike others, can't be removed any of the "traditiona" about: methods.

Need to have it go - we DO NOT want this used here.

I frequently am asked to certify that I am "not a robot" as I receive this message: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. "

Then I have to pick out some feature in various images, This routine is often repeated until I supposedly get things right. I find it all annoying and time-wasting. What do I do? Thanks. --GT.

When I use Firefox browser to search the web the following always appears in the search bar. How do I stop this from happening? https://khsrchrdr.com/ecrp/?gd=RD1005876&searchsource=58&n=edlyfm4a&q=When+I+search+using+Firefox+ Thanks Roy Ferris 18-10-2026 - Roy@royferris.co.uk

i have tried multiple extent ions to disable ai in the search box on Firefox an nothing works i still get ai. Again why does everyone think ai is so great. why again are people not given a choice like do you want or not want ai. HATE AI IN SAMSUNG GEMINI AND GOOGLE do not want ai anywhere ion my computer or i phone and please let me know if there is an addon or extensions in Firefox to not see it in my searches in google searches
