BING Search Hijacking Google Searches

Google is the only search engine I've selected for my Firefox Android browser. Often in the last month or so – after I type a search term into the omnibox at the top of my Firefox browser page – a "bing.com" results page opens. In fact, after I tried the words 'bing hijack' in this Mozilla Help page's own dedicated search box (NOT the browser's omnibox) another 'bing.com' page opened with search results This has happened in two different mobile devices that are synced to the same Firefox account. I do use the uBlock extension so I added the bing URL to the "My Filters" list, and my browser is always set for 'Strict' tracking protection. Is there any way to defeat this nonsense?

I suddenly lost the login info for the Montreal Gazette app on my tablet last week. I was no longer able to login to Montreal Gazette website, which controls the login on the app.

I restarted the tablet, opened the app, and tried to login. The website just sat there and nothing happened. I tried to login to the website alone and was not able to login.

I contacted App Support and they asked me to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Same problem!

Just in case it was a Firefox issue, I tried Chrome. I was able to login to the website!

In order to use their app, I am going to have to change my default Android Browser to Chrome, something I am not at all happy about!

Any ideas on why FF doesn't allow me to login?

Thanks very much,

John

Slow loading sites. I've cleared cache, no sync options set (not available to change sync. It just continues to stick in bufferering) & have no additonal tracking blockers running. The other 4 browsers I use are working fine. Sonits definitely a Firefox issue.

  • also, sporadically I'm not able to edit a bookmark after saving a page. The edit option will not appear & clicking on the bookmark again doesn't open the bookmark. I've also uninstalled & reinstalled. Samsung Galaxy Note9 with latest non-beta build using latest Android. I like using Firefox over the other apps so any help is appreciated.

Landscape fullscreen not taking full screen height

I'm using Firefox Nightly 130.0a1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. When I open a video in fullscreen and it rotates to landscape, there is a large gap between the video and the edge of the screen. Interestingly, this gap is affected by the setting "Customize -> Address bar location" - If the address bar is set to appear on top the gap is on top, and if the address bar is set to appear on bottom the gap is on the bottom. I've included screenshots from both settings. This happens on both YouTube and Dailymotion, so it is a browser issue and not a site issue.

I need to reach the about:config menu but firefox takes me to a search menu on the engine I chose (duckduckgo). It provides lots of nice info but not how to reach this feature.

I am using Chrome OS so possibly that is the issue.

Thanks!
