Firefox Community Forum

After I upgraded to v137 and now on v138 I do not have the new search enhancements made to the address bar. Only a new profile will get me the enhancements. I'd rather not have to create a new profile and add all my changes and add-ons all over again. It's a real PITA. Is there any 'trick' I can try to get the new enhancements?

Hello,

My experience with Firefox has been great for more than 15 years. However recently there's been a trend of adding new functionality without asking the user whether they want it or not. Moreover, some things cannot be disabled even if I try hard enough.

It was an unpleasant surprise to discover that "This time, search with" panel was removed without my consent, and is now replaced by an extremely inconvenient button. I firmly believe that this is not how UX design is done, and whoever made that choice needs to reevaluate their decision.

How can I revert this change besides rolling back the browser version?

The setting "browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride" did not help, it reverts to *true* on every restart. I have not been able to find any other settings, and I believe that this is not something that a user should do their research on.

Is there a way to affect this change?

I have read ALL of the help comments of all of the people who posted basically the same thing on Microsoft Community Forum that I could find - and can't find an answer.

I have: Two Laptops - Windows 10 and 11 Use Outlook Live (Hotmail) via Firefox

All Firefox browsers are UP TO DATE - and I have checked all the settings I can find - including about: config on Firefox itself - for some reason Pictures from senders - Yes - those I trust - do NOT show - I checked on Chrome and no problem, Edge no Problem - pictures show on BOTH those browsers - However - I prefer USING FIrefox (I don't like Chrome and only use it if I have to track emails and use THOSE features etc.)- I disabled ANY AD Blockers I have. As for Virus Protection - On Windows 11 I have UltraAV on the Windows 10 just Microsoft Defender - This just started happening.

I DO NOT get any kind of placeholder or a red X or any text saying anything - Just NO pix show in my Inbox.

This DOES NOT happen with the Outlook App on my Android or it seems anywhere else.

Can anyone help me?

For days I have been seeing Firefox be very slow to load a page (as in minutes) or stop working entirely. At the same time Chrome works fine. Mac Mail has become intermittent as well. I have uninstalled Norton products and changed Network proxy settings many times. Nothing helps. I have created new profiles. I switch between profiles. I have hacked into my WiFi router. Nothing, nothing helps. Safari hangs up too. Firefox on my android phone continues to work properly when using my Wifi router -the same router my Mac Studio connects to the internet with. I can access my third party mail service via Firefox on my android phone. Both FireTV devices work. I am at my wit's end. At this point I have shifted all of my work over to Chrome.

I have cleared caches. I have gotten rid of all cookies. I have restarted Firefox and rebooted my computer countless times.

Anything using WebGL in-browser tells me that my browser doesn't support it.

https://get.webgl.org/ says "Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card." but I updated it to the most recent drivers and the issue is still happening. Graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT.
