Does Firefox still support automatically updating the opensearch XML description? MDN still mentions this feature: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/Guides/OpenSearch#supporting_automatic_updates_for_opensearch_description

Also, in about:config, there used to be an "browser.search.update.interval" entry that specified the update interval. I can't find it anymore.

If this isn’t the right place to ask, could you point me in the right direction?

I downloaded something today that installed "Cubbie" and Yahoo. I have no interest in either,especially since Cubbie pops up as my search engine. How do I get rid of it? Thanks! BB

How do I disable the link association function of the new tab page? Sometimes,when searching a certain link ,after I finish typing and I press the Enter key,it will redirect the link but not the search link. I need search,search,search the link,not redirect!!! I try so many way but it never work!!!

I have been fixing dozens of problems with 140 ESR's GUI. Earlier today I fixed almost all of the problems with the search panel:

Except one: I do not know how to detect when the default search engine has changed. I need to know how to detect when the default search engine changes so I can update the favicon and placeholder text by recalling my gui_fixes_search_favicon() function in userChrome.js.

I'm an experienced web developer of 20+ years and would be grateful if someone could share their insight without the often "obligatory" cautionary tales 101 bit. Thank you in advance!

Why isn't there a simple means to remove/prevent searches for the address bar, using config doesn't work.

I've used Firefox for over twenty years, this annoyance will end that and force a move to Brave.

I have been having a problem for weeks with Firefox where it keeps resetting my default search engine to Yahoo. I tried a lot of things, including looking through all my extensions for anything untoward and most recently refreshing Firefox. The problem remains active. I would really like to not have to keep resetting my search engine every day.

Post-refresh, I find that Firefox is opening new tabs from links on pages I visit. That one is a REAL pain to deal with. It seems to kick in more on commercial pages than other pages. How do I stop that one? I already appear to be clear of bad extensions and I already refreshed Firefox1

Dear community,

in the settings I set Google as default search engine. Yet, every once in a while, when I search in the URL field, it searches via Bing, and when I check the settings, it - for whatever reason- has reset Bing as default search engine. I would prefer to get rid of it entirely, is there a may to completely "deinstall" that feature or something?

Best regards

How do I rid myself of Searchpulse.net?

I'm thinking I need to delete Firefox and start over. Will that work?

I'm resetting my default browser until I've resolved this issue.

If I need to search the internet for a web page within the broser field it doesn't do anything - It just displays https://sant.sectiononi.com/?u9k0n5b3X7oED91q=OFwQNgMRNQkJAFRVLjswJihcQ1tSTVZbUlhKWllDXFlbV1QoLTwsUw5XRVkHTF Thanks Andy

Using latest Firefox browser, when I open Google and want to ‘paste’ a word, it will not let me. Instead I get this default message, that I can’t delete. I can type anything I want, but I can’t ‘paste’ a word or words. How to fix please? HP desktop PC Windows 11 64 bit I see there is a 'new' (to me) AI mode icon in the 'same' search window as where you type on the 'right' of the search box. Maybe I just haven't noticed because I didn't have an issue before.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
