When trying to search in Yahoo, using Firefox, About:Blank comes up instead in a new tab. I have to hit the X to close the new tab, and then hit enter again and I will then get my search results. I have 2 PCs and a laptop and they ALL are having this problem since the last Firefox update. I have tried ALL of the recommended fixes, I have refreshed firefox, cleared cache and cookies, turned off firewall, antivirus, extensions, etc. I have even tried some of the config recommended changes and NOTHING works. It is definitely a Firefox problem and NOT a yahoo problem because all works fine in Chrome and Edge.

Someone seems to have messed with the search tab. For better or worse, I use Google most of the time, The search tab used to default to Google. If I occasionally want a different search tool, e.g. Wikipedia, I would use the dropdown list. Now it seems to default to the last used search tool. How can I get rid of this "improvement"?

It seems that most times Firefox does an update, it deletes the Amazon UK search tool and does not provide any option to put it (or any Amazon tool) back. Where is it on the list of search tools?

Firefox just updated a few days ago to version 149.0. Prior to, no issues. Now every time I enter a search term and hit enter. A new tab opens and the page is blank. It only happened after the update. Closing the tab and doing the same thing again opens a new page correctly.

I have been using Firefox for years and had no problems. I have it setup for custom URL home page to yahoo. When I go in and try to search anything, it shows about:blank. If i try several times it will work. For testing, I tried google chrome and do not have this problem.

Any thoughts?

Tyhanks in advance.

Every time I want to search an item or word, you now take me out of the search bar and throw me on to the address bar, which I really have to struggle to read. This has been going on now for quite some time. my question is WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO config TO DO IT MYSELF. FIX IT ON YOUR END NOT MINE! And now as I scroll down, I see you've made some guesses. Then information gives details about the internal workings of your browser, IT'S NOT MY BROWSER, IT'S YOURS. FIX IT

I liked my search box functioning like it did before the last update...can you please revert it back to the way it was please or give us the option to change it back. Why mess with perfection???...thank you. (149.0 64bit currently)

My Firefox browser is being redirected to Yahoo. I've tried all suggested fix solutions but no sucess. Ive unistalled and reinstalled Firefox but Yahoo redirect remains.

The same problem affected Chrome but I was able to reset the default to google and remove all the Yahoo serch engines from Chrome.

Every time I attempt to change my search engine from DuckDuckGo I am unsuccessful. The browser simply reverts back to DuckDuckGo. I am running Windows 11 and have installed each and every update that has come along.

Perhaps set the previous iteration of the search bar as an option in the settings. Not having easy access to all my search engines at once, and having to spend those extra seconds to click on the search icon, select the one I want to use in the new list layout, wastes precious time. This is a real boon to my productivity and would love a return.

I suspect what I'm about to describe is intended behavior and I'm just doing things Wrong.

Sometimes I want to specify a search engine; sometimes I don't. This is awkward when my search terms include the shortcut for an engine for some reason (it happens to me more often than you'd think). To date, I've handled that case by using the address bar (ctrl-l by default) when I want to do an engine-specific search, and the search bar (ctrl-k by default) when I want to explicitly prevent that, because the search bar doesn't support search shortcuts.

Search shortcut support appears to have been added to the most recent update I received (149.0), breaking this flow (and incidentally breaking muscle memory for tabbing from one bar to the other, but that's less annoying). I could add a common prefix (presumably a symbol key) to all my search shortcuts to get similar behavior, but I'm fairly attached to the home row; every bucky bit is a small but noticeable pain on my wrists.

I'd like to know how to disable search shortcuts only in one bar or the other (I don't care which); or, alternately, a better way to achieve the same goal. At present my next-best-alternative is to train myself to *always* use an explicit search shortcut...which I can live with if necessary, but it's not ideal.

As a loyal and long time user of Firefox [since 1998 yes 1998 ,,,] if you or i cant remove google from my browser , i might have to find a replacement, that will allow me to remove this nonsense , i await your response ATB BlackSam
