A website has moved a while ago, but when I type in the first few letters, I still get the URL to the now defunct site suggested. I tried long-pressing the entry under "Firefox Suggest", but do not get any options to remove it.

Since the defunct URL starts with the same 10 or so characters as the new one, I always have to type a lot to get to the correct page. On the other hand, I use it to rarely to warrant a bookmark.

Hello All,

Just noticed today my firefox search bar has changed. I'm on Ver 143.0.4

Before I could click on it and it would show my recent visited websites. Now it shows nothing unless I choose history from the down error however after I go to a website I no longer have the option to click in and see my history again. I need to open a new tab.

Any idea how I can change this back as It seems like a very bad feature.

Thanks

When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.

Why can't I just delete recent searches

I want to delete just the recent searches or rather where it says duckduckgo suggestions, but I don't want to do it 1 by 1 (because that parts doable of google since it's 1 click on duckduckgo that differs) or just make it disappear but not delete. I just don't want them there.

Turning off "Show search suggestions" makes it disappear which isn't what I want. Is there a way to get rid of/ delete them in mass without just turning it off?

Is it possible to preselect in Firefox suggest as it is the case for normal search ?

When I search something in the address bar, the first result is always pre-selected, meaning that if I hit "enter" it will be issued as can be seen in the first attached screenshot.

Whereas, when I search for tabs or actions it is not the case meaning I have to hit "tab" to first select the first result before being able to "enter", as seen in the second screenshot.

Is there a way to get the first behavior in the second case?

Thanks in advance.

Trending Search Suggestions Enabled by default and can't be disabled

I am using Firefox Nightly 144.0a1 (Build #2016111007) on Andoird 14. In the Search Settings, the Show Trending Sugfestions option is ticked/selected by default and can not be unticked or disabled. And if I disable "Show Search Suggestions" option under "Suggestions from Search Engines", it will also disbles the feature of searching bookmarks and synced tabs from Address Bar (even though This option is seperate in the Search Settings under Address bar - Firefox Suggest).

So right now to search from Address Bar, I have to manditorily Turn ON Show Search Suggestions Option, which starts showing Trending Search Suggestions (which is very annoying and useless for me). Kindly fix this and provide options where user can Enable Search Suggestions for Local Bookmarks or Synced Tabs without forcing user to enable Trending Search Suggestions from Search Engines.

Usually, when I start typing the address of a website I visit frequently, Firefox will suggest the complete address. Now, for the last week or so, it doesn't. For example, if I start typing guardian.com, the default is to search, and then only when I type the final "m" does it switch to "visit" when I press enter.

In settings, under Search, and Address bar, the box to suggest browsing history is checked, and at about:config, browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true.

I have Firefox version 141.0.3

Hi there.

Safari on iOS has an option called “preload top hit”. It loads the most relevant website or search result in the background while you type so that there is no delay.

This feature is able to be turned off in Safari in iOS, but as far as I am aware, there is no way to do so in Firefox for iOS.

Please add the ability to disable this feature; it is interfering with my experience.
