I have Firefox, then suddenly it switched over to Google.... a little google icon has appeared in the search window ... it drives me crazy... I have google news (absolute BS). How can I permanently remove google from my PC and LIFE? Please help...

To start, both Windows and Firefox are running latest versions as of now.

I recently found that Firefox had a list of frequent sites being displayed by right-clicking on any of the Firefox tabs in the Windows taskbar. I found that to disable this, I need to use the "browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled" flag in "about:config". Setting this to false indeed disabled this, but it was replaced by "Recent" tabs instead. There is also "browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled" flag but this does not affect whether or not the Recent tabs list is displayed. Nor does "browser.taskbar.lists.enabled", nor does changing the max number of list items.

The closest I can seem to get it to displaying nothing here is to keep the Frequent list active, and set it to a max of "1" item. Anything else displays a long list of Recent items.

I don't think this is correct behaviour for these flags... If anyone has any other ideas here, that'd be great, thanks!

Each time I open Firefox and type in a search I get a message like something went wrong and I need to verify that I am human. Then I have to go through the pictures and identify the ones with bicycles or motorcycles or Buses. Aggravation which I've never experienced before . I've made Firefox my default browser and I'd like to get rid of the problem. Thank you, any suggestions.

How can I stop sticky/floating videos in firefox? I've tried every solution possible googling and nothing works. When I browse a page with a video that I don't care about watching (I'm reading the page) a smaller version of the same video pops up on the lower right side of the page and continues to follow me down the page regardless of how many time I click on the "X" to make it disappear, it simply pops back up again once I start to scroll further down the page. This is so annoying !!!

I have been using this site for a very long time, but, since lastnight (Tuesday January 27, 2026) everything is different. My Theme was gone, the sites I visit were not responding. Am I supposed to set up this page each time I want to use Mozilla? If this is the new normal, then I will not be here long.

Thanks
