Hi, Every time I search using Firefox (especially through the address bar or default search), SafeSearch is automatically enabled — even though I never turned it on and don’t want it. I’ve tried checking Firefox settings, search engine settings, and even my browser profile, but nothing seems to work.

I’m not sure if this is a browser setting, an issue with my account, or something being forced externally (like by Google or Bing).

Can someone tell me:

Why SafeSearch is always on?

How can I turn it off permanently?

Is this tied to Firefox itself or to the search engine provider?


Using latest Firefox version on Android 15.

Since the last update, I am now on

 140.0.1esr (64-bit)

the search on multiple folders is never ending. The search ends quickly if on a single folder or a set of subfolders but never ends if on the parent folder.

It can go for hours and while it can find the emails I am looking for, the Search button becomes a permanent "Stop" and the task says "Searching" and the blue bar is dynamically changing trying to impart the suggestion that something is happening.

This bug did not feature on the previous "esr" version and wondering if perhaps there ought to be a further version, perhaps "eesr" for those who crave stability.

I want to disable the search-from-address-bar function. If I attempt to use the config editor, then I type about:config in the address bar BUT it does not open the config editor. Instead it displays search results related to the config editor.

None of those search results is the CONFIG EDITOR

I've added the search engine default for brave in Firefox which I've used for since the beginning but it won't show up as choice in my settings choice and I added in I type it in it says the string is wrong. It is not wrong it doesn't add in because your software browser Firefox isn't working correctly what is the problem.

Currently it says removed if I try to add it again yet it doesn't show up why?

Please fix your browser so it adds in easily it should I should be able to click it it shows up in my choices I make it my default and then it works fine it doesn't do that because you've added too much crap

Extremely frustrating
