Firefox Community Forum

I want to increase the drop down list to show more frequent URLs. Is there a setting that allows me to do it? I have looked and haven't found it. Also, Can I reduce the number of recent searches displayed on this panel. The recent change of adding them detracts from my usage of the drop down list.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

Hi, It happened just days ago. The NY times does not let me read articles and tells me I am a bot not a human (I am a subscriber) or that someone is using my IP. I tried everything, clearing cache and data for everything, signed in again to no avail. I tried using a VPN to mask the IP... no success I have no problem reading it on Chrome, but I prefer Firefox. Does anyone have more ideas? The agent from NY times I contacted really was no help at all. Thanks

I have recently re-installed Firefox version 140.0.2 (64 bit) following a crash and have been reconfiguring it to my requirements. I have the bookmarks drop down menu on the left of my screen but would really like it on the right hand side. I have searched the various on line articles but can only find a solution going back to 2019 which suggests that there is a small arrow next to the word Bookmarks at the top of the menu, but there is no such arrow on my version, only a X, which closes the drop down. I would have attached a screenshot, but the facility doesn't work on the drop down menu. :-)

Am I missing something here please or is this option no longer available?

Regards and TIA

Phil

All of a sudden for the past few weeks or so, I keep getting the message in the attached screenshot when entering words in the search bar and clicking on Google. This never happened before in all the years I've been doing this, so what's up with it and can it be fixed? Thanks.

when playing my game the program keeps stopping and starting. Every 7 to 9 seconds while playing my game I get kicked to the task bar and it stops responding for a few seconds and when I click to put it back on my screen and again 7 or 9 seconds I have to repeat the same thing. Bottom line is the gaming program keeps starting and stopping for a few second. This is the only program doing this. This started doing this on June 28 2025 after a new Firefox update. I played this same game on Google and it worked just fine.

It's not possible to switch Google accounts for Gemini in the AI Chatbot toolbar. When I select another Google account in the chatbox, the browser redirects to https://gemini.google.com, but the AI chatbot continues to use my default Gemini account, see the attached screenshot.

Firefox has been crashing several times an hour for multiple days. I have tried:

After upgrading to Firefox 140, the address bar no longer lets me quickly switch between search enginges using the up and down arrow. Is there a way to re-enable this?

Before, I could type the search term and then press the down arrow a couple of times to search with, for example, Wikipedia instead of my default DuckDuckGo. The new address bar no longer seems to include this behaviour.

After upgrading to Firefox 140, I can no longer use the down arrow to quickly select a different search engine.

For example, if I want to search for something on Wikipedia instead of my default DuckDuckGo, I used to just type the search term, press the down arrow twice and hit enter. If I wanted to search for a youtube video, I'd hit the down arrow three times, etc. The selector for different search engines in the address bar seems to have changed in a way that no longer allows this sort of quick and easy keyboard-only method. Is there a way to re-enable the use of up and down arrows to quickly select a different search engine?

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?
