In what file does Firefox store information about the icons of added search engines?

(After copying the profile with the search.json.mozlz4 file, search engines added by the user work correctly, but their icons cannot be seen - each search engine is marked with the same icon 'magnifier' - as you can see in the attachment.)

Hello: FF 140.b9 64b w11p. Are there ANY search engines (not nec browsers, just want to do a search in the address bar or search field) that do NOT go to an AI site to search? I want to minimize my use of AI technology, which uses extremely environmentally costly data farms. Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to add Brave as the search engine on the Firefox settings in iOS, however, I continue to receive an error message stating “Please fill all fields correctly” I am using the below URL:

https://search.brave.com/search?q=%25s&source=desktop

And

search.brave.com or https://search.brave.com

But none are working and I continue to get the same error message

It does not appear in the message search. Perhaps the emails of a particular account are not included in the search, but is there a way to address this? I have already rebuilt the “global search database”.

We’re having a weird issue with Thunderbird that’s showing up on multiple computers using the same mailbox. When we search using the top search bar (Ctrl+K), it often doesn't find all emails that clearly match the search term For example, we have multiple sent emails with the searched phrase in the subject, but Ctrl+K only finds one of them, even though there are two (or more) that match. When we use Ctrl+Shift+F (advanced search) with the exact same keyword and folder, all the matching emails show up just fine.

So it's not like the emails are missing —they're just not being picked up by the Ctrl+K search.

The annoying part is that Ctrl+K lets us open the whole conversation thread, which is really useful, while Ctrl+Shift+F only shows single messages.

Ive tried to:

- repair folders

- delete .msf files

- rebuild global database

- reenable "Include messages in this folder in Global Search results" but it did not help

And this isn’t just one machine, it's happening on every PC where this mailbox is used

How do I get rid of this? Everytime I try to search for something in Firefox, I get an error message and this website comes up: retrorevivesearch.com. I gather this is a malicious search engine - how do I get rid of it?

For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

How can I delete search history? I have a few misspelled searches and similar old stuff that pops up in the address bar when I type in a new search.

I have tried several things:

• Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear data → Selecting and marking everything but with no effect whatsoever
• Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Firefox will never remember history + Clear history as mentioned above
• Settings → Search → Search suggestions → everything disabled
• Settings → Search → Address bar → everything but Bookmarks have been disabled
• Deleted my old Firefox account and created a new so I can still sync between 2 computers

Example: Previously I used www.adobe.com but now I use www.adobe.dk. But everytime I enter adobe in the address bar, Firefox keeps suggesting (autofill) adobe.com instead adobe.dk.

Any suggestions how to clear/delete the browser/search history so I can get a fresh start?

Hello! I would like to change my searches from yahoo to google, it wasn´t like this before but apparently now if i want to search something i would get the answers from yahoo

Hi!

My default search engine has always been Firefox for years. Since the last Firefox update, when I select + and get to a New Tab, the search engine changes to Google.

I am on Windows 10. I want the New Tab to stay with Firefox. Any tips?

Thank you for your help! TS

I added the duckduckgo extension and gave it the required permissions, but despite it saying that it set duckduckgo as the default search engine, it hadn't even showed up on the list at all. I tried removing and adding back the extension, but that didn't work either.

I've had the icons change position since 2 hours ago. I use my keyboard (the arrow keys) to use the search engines that I want to. I want to change it back, how do I do it?

Hello. For some reason, whenever I do a search the response is on a "Yahoo" tab. How do I return to Firefox, as I do not want to use Yahoo? Best regards Barry Mitchell
