Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox für Android

Many of us are switching from Google and Google related products search engines browsers etc . Can you please give us more search engine options other than what you have on offer in the drop down box. All of not most are all Google related or owned. Cheers

On Firefox on Android, I would like to access Gemini similarly to the way I currently access Perplexity via the search engine drop down menu. How do you set that up?

On my Android phone, I sm not able to select Firefox as a search engine in the list of available search engines in the drop down box because it is not listed. Why is this and how can I get it listed as a choice? I have Firefox installed and an account created. I am not sure exactly what the problem is. Thanks

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to report a user interface bug I have encountered in the mobile version of Firefox for Android, version 153.

The Issue: When I tap on the search/address bar to type, the top part of the browser, including the search bar itself, disappears, leaving a blank, empty space at the top of the screen. This behavior began immediately after updating to version 153.

It seems similar to issues reported by other users where the top bar does not reappear correctly or disappears under specific conditions . The problem makes the browser difficult to use, as I cannot see what I am typing in the search field.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Open the Firefox for Android app (version 153).

   Tap on the search/address bar to bring up the keyboard and begin a search.

   The top bar, including the address bar, disappears and is replaced by a blank space.

Expected Behavior: The top bar should remain visible and functional, or at least reappear correctly, when the search bar is selected.

Actual Behavior: The top bar disappears and does not come back, creating a blank space at the top of the screen.

Additional Information:

   Firefox Version: 153

   Operating System: Android

   This issue was not present in the previous version and appeared immediately after the update.

I have tried restarting the browser, but the issue persists. It appears to be a bug related to the toolbar and keyboard interaction, which has been noted in other versions . Please investigate this issue, as it significantly impacts the usability of the browser.

Thank you for your time and for working to improve Firefox.

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)
