When I open a website from a shortcut in my desktop (Win Pro 25H2) the link works perfectly and the site opens. However, a dropdown box opens from the address bar and displays all the URL of every page I've visited within that site. I can click on the site page (away from the dropdown list) and the the dropdown list then closes. Is there a way to turn this annoying thing off?

Like the title says. I've removed this (see img) page from history and tried hitting SHIFT + DEL with the suggestion highlighted, but it just persists. How can I get rid of it?

When I type "moo" in the address bar, the first suggestion (which is auto-completed and loads when I press Enter) is the website's base URL "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/" instead of the webpage that I have bookmarked "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/my/courses.php".

This is really annoying because it ends up costing me too many extra clicks to get to the webpage I actually need, especially since this is a website that I have to use often.

How can I prioritize the bookmarked option over the base URL?

I have already tried switching search and suggestion options in the settings, removing the homepage with the base URL from the history, and tweaking the frecency settings in about:config, but nothing worked.

Hi,

I'm looking to clear my history (as one does) but upon clearing my history as shown in the picture, I still get search recommendations in the search bar.

Do I need to tick more boxes ? I would still like to keep my stored credentials and forms and to ultimately keep search history results (just clear the ones i have right now), is there anyway of doing this ?

Consider the following scenario: I want to go to "nextcloud.com", so I go to the address bar and start typing. Unfortunately, I make a mistake, and the first character I type is 'b'. Firefox then offers the autocomplete "bc.co.uk", and highlights it. I type another different letter, the added autocomplete offer is replaced with the character I added, and it will try to offer another autocomplete suggestion with all the characters I have typed so far. However, I realised the 'b' was wrong, so I press <backspace> then start typing "nextcloud.com". Of course, the backspace key now only removed the autocomplete suggestion, leaving the original 'b' I typed (so I now have "bnextcloud.com"). My question: Is there a way set configure firefox so that the key sequence 'b' followed by '<backspace>' to return the address bar to the original (empty in this example) condition? If this means turning off auto-suggest, I am happy to do that, since I don't use it anyway.

Thanks.

When searching from the search bar how do I make it to where YouTube doesn't come up as an option for when I'm looking for a video? How do I block YouTube from my search

Somehow AP (news) has started showing up in the firefox menu bar. I'd like to delete it since I don't use it. It's not in my settings under search, nor can I just delete it by right clicking the menu bar. Can you help? Thanks, Stephanie

Why is it when I want to go to a different website, such as youtube.com or google.com, the bar will autofill because I've been to those websites multiple times. But after going to spotify.com numerous times, the autofill never shows up and I have to manually type in the whole "spotify.com" because the web search bar thinks I've never been there before. Why is that and can I fix it?

Using latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11 pc. Unwanted link to AP News appears below search bar. Tried clearing cache. Allowing suggestions is disabled. The link is not listed in Extensions. How do I get rid of it?

AI is using my data and serving up slop from what it gathers. I'd like to keep as much AI slop out of my Firefox web browser as possible, is there information available on how to block AI features and results from my Firefox?

With the latest update I get search suggestions in the search bar. I want to use my bookmarks. How can I turn off this feature?

In the example, I typed dict and got dictionary.reference.com, while the bookmark I wanted was just ductionary.com. Thank you.
