How can I customize url and search fields to remove the search engine dropdown, and ideally make the URL fields ONLY work with URLs and the search field only work with my default search engine?

A recent update has completely broken my muscle memory: I'm used to typing Cmd-L to move to the URL field, then a single tab to move to the search field, where I immediately start typing.

Now, that single tab moves me to the search engine dropdown, which I don't even want to use, so every time I try to search I have to stop and back up and it's badly affecting my workflow.

How can I either change the tab order or just get rid of the dropdown completely? If I want to use a different search engine, I can always just go to their page instead of using the search bar.

Also, is the URL field now exactly the same as the search field? I really want them to behave differently - I don't want to touch search if all I'm doing is re-visiting a URL in my history. Is there a way to have a URL field that ONLY works with URLs and avoids search, and a separate search field that works with my default search engine?

Thanks for your help.

Suddenly with the latest update, I'm seeing "send link to mobile" when I right-click on a link. I understand this is useful for many people but I will never use it and would like to remove it from the already-cluttered context menu. I don't see any instructions for doing that, and couldn't find it in about:config. It's frustrating to have something suddenly added without my consent and with no information on how to remove it.

New behavior when opening Firefox on Linux Mint

Hey FF Support Team,

I am using Firefox version 157.0.1 (64-bit) (mint-001-1.0) on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon. 4 Monitors are connected. In a previous version, don't know which but it is not long time ago, Firefox opened, when I clicked on the task bar icon, always on the monitor, where I moved the mouse to. Now in the writen version above, it is opening on the monitor, where the last Firefox window was closed.

It used to be so easy to tell Firefox where to open a new window, but that feature is gone now. Or is there maybe a setting somewhere to turn it back on? I didn't find anything in about:config, though.

Please do not confuse the behavior described here with the System Settings feature > Moving and Resizing Windows > Location of newly opened Windows, which works differently and is, unfortunately, very impractical.

I hope you can give me the key tip

Best regards Mario

I notice that in dark mode highlighted text and color text are rendered as normal white text. This behaviour broken UI experience because those style are used to give more importance to some text and in this way this intent is totally lost.

I attach some example switch from dark to light mode.


I think that is useful adding an option to use dark mode without overwrite this type of colors

Is there anyway to do it? Thank you!

Firerfox 158 is no longer obeying it's previous screen placement method. Can this change be undone?

Xubuntu 24.04.5 Firefox 158

Firefox used to position a new window on the screen in a somewhat predictable manner prior to 158.

For example, if there was a blank space on the screen between other windows, the browser would locate it and be placed there. A new instance would also appear on the active screen (I have two: left and right with a single window manager spanning both) where the mouse was located. Now the window is just placed in some arbitrary locations and may appear on the non-active screen.

I have a number of scripts that load various sets of windows on the screen (typically a number of xfce4-terminals and the browser) which used to pretty much work, but no longer as the browser windows can show up any place and must then be relocated. When I start a new session I have eight distinct desktops with many versions of Firefox on each. It is tiresome to have to relocate one browser window after another.

Is there any option I can set that would revert to the older screen placement algorithm?


Also, I asked this before and don't remember getting any satisfactory response. Why is the -geometry flag not supported on Firefox any longer? What's the opposition to giving the user control over this? I want some command-line method for accurately setting the size (WxH) and position (X:Y) of the browser window on the screen. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for any pointers.
