I am looking for a solution that will allow links to open in the same tab rather than tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab. I am also having issue with sign ins opening a new blank tab and not having the ability to sign in at all. I've been using Firefox since I quit Netscape. And yes, I tried many epic fails that were disguised as solutions that don't work. I'm seriously about to give up on this browser if I can't get what I had after a SSD drive fail that forced me to reinstall from the ground up.

I've come back to Firefox for the first time since Chrome launched! Manifest V3 basically killing Ad Blockers was the last straw.

Anyway, I'm having an issue with Firefox and I can't figure out why - when I type in the start of a URL, it's sometimes suggesting sites that I've never visited / don't have book marked etc.

For example, if I type in d it automatically puts in dotesports.com - I've never visited this site, it's not bookmarked etc so I don't understand why it's being populated instead of sites I do visit that begin with the letter d. Please see attached screenshot Firefox D.

I've tried fiddling with my search settings, but it's not made a difference. Please see the attached screenshot.

I've checked my extensions, but they're all pretty standard / well known ones and none of them would be altering the search bar like this. I've attached a screenshot of my extensions.

Additionally, when I start typing in gm (expecting it to autofill gmail.com) it never seems to do so, even though it's one of my most visited websites. It doesn't have this problem with other websites I frequently visit, only gmail - any idea why this is / how I can fix it?

I am trying to display my list of bookmarks which was in the previous version of Firefox. The Other Bookmarks option contains none of the bookmarks that I regularly want to use

Hey guys,

So I have Firefox suggestions via my browser history enabled but when I go to input something, only my bookmarks show, I tried to toggle it off/on bit didn’t work, anyone else having this issue?

Mac user here with an feature request: please provide a toolbar button for the `Share >` menu. I know it's behind the tab contextual menu (aka right-click menu) but still, it belongs on the toolbar.

I have noticed that recently, whenever I start Firefox, BING is auto-opening a new tab *without my input.* Firefox is not my default browser (I use several), and I have removed ALL extensions and themes (except for ad-blocking, which has always been there), and ensured that pop-up blocker is enabled. My Windows 10 PC cannot find any malware; I hate being hijacked (esp. by Microsoft) and want this to stop! My other browsers do not do this...only Firefox. I have tried suggestions to modify REGEDIT, but can find no solutions to prevent this (other than not using Firefox anymore). Help, please! Thanks so much.

When performing search in search bar I want search results to open a new tab. The current behavior, either I 1. Manually open a new tab then perform search 2. Search results are displayed in the current tab

I recently upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10. Firefox was disabled somehow. I got it up and running again and my default search engine is DuckDuckGo. I cannot enter text for searches into the search box (below the firefox logo. Any text I try to enter appears in the address box (on line 2 near the the top of the home page). What do I have to do to enable the search box to receive text and function properly for browsing? What am I missing? Thanks for your help. John Hall

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!
