Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.acf7d517.1771548295.4f66cee0 is what I get when going to https:\goddady.com as of today. Running on Windows7 (no, I won't upgrade). Tried a variety of changes. But Chrome works fine. Any suggestions?

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

not really a request for help since release 147.0.3 searches handoff to awesome and can't be changed by using about:config dropping back to 145.0.2 allows prevention

For no obvious reason, Thunderbird started complaining about my existing configuration to mail.com. I tried changing passwords, I tried rebooting the computer, but nothing would work. I kept getting the "invalid password" popup when trying to connect. I've double-checked that mail.com is still working (I can access all my email from the web client no problem).

So, eventually, I deleted the account from Thunderbird altogether and now I'm trying to recreate the configuration. Thunderbird recognizes mail.com and correctly deduces the server configuration settings, but it will not connect. When I try to add the account I get this message:

"Authentication failed. Either the entered credentials are incorrect or a separate username is required for logging in. This username is usually your Windows domain login with or without the domain"

Why on earth would a "Windows domain login" be needed for a web-based email location?? When I had the configuration set up before, all I had to supply was my email address and password.

Something in Thunderbird has changed and I can't figure this out.

Meanwhile, I have about 10 other email accounts set up on Thunderbird and they all seem to be working properly.

Would sure be nice to find a solution so I can get my mail.com account back on Thunderbird.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can't seem to locate how to activate the microphone in the AI sidebar. I have Gemini selected, and when I hit the microphone to dictate I get the following message.. Unable to access the microphone. Please check settings.

I looked through Firefox settings and my laptop's but I don't see where it is turned off or asking for activation.'

The text selection toolbar (often just called the text selection menu or contextual selection toolbar) is used throughout my Android/Samsung phone. It appears whenever you long-press text, a textbox, or URL bar, and shows actions like Paste, Copy, Select all, and sometimes Extract text depending on your keyboard/OEM.

In the lastest Android Firefox app update, the "Clipboard" option is no longer present in the app on the contextual selection toolbar.

This is a major inconvenience. I'm a longtime Firefox user and this missing feature is a huge inefficiency problem. This means I cannot easily use text copied or cut from elsewhere on my phone and easily access it without individually and tediously copying and pasting individual text content.

Please see the attached image and gifs showing contextual selection toolbars with and without the "clipboard" option.

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

I just heard about the new Block AI Enhancements feature on Firefox from a friend, and I was genuinely SO excited to have this option. However, I can’t figure out how to enable this setting on mobile. I’ve checked every tab in both Firefox settings and the app settings on my device, and I just updated the app this morning (02.26.26) so I’m not sure what I’m missing. Hoping that it’s not desktop only, I’d be really disappointed to have to wait on this one!
