How to change main domain is not automatically shown in the search of Firefox browser but the desired URL?

I have always typed "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you" in the URL bar both in firefox desktop and mobile and other Gecko-based browsers such as Zen, Floorp, Midori, Iceraven, Waterfox, Librewolf but dont know why it always shows up "https://www.youtube.com" as soon as I type "y".

I have not seen same behaviour in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, as Chrome knows if I have visited "youtube domain" several times but not through "https://www.youtube.com/" but through "https://www.youtube.com/feed/you", then it shows me the latter, thus helps me in avoiding my few seconds of this bug or inconsistency.

Not limited to "https://www.youtube.com/" but to every other site such as Google.com or social media like Instagram, where I don't visit the homepage but my saved bookmarks page.

Can anybody clarify on this, if this is a bug or a gifted feature by Firefox devs?

And can we change this as this causes issues esp., for working people (I have recently shifted my Chrome data to a new Firefox profile so this is causing issues in working after MV3 drama) who visited direct URL not the one given or promoted or shown by browser. I dont like this and want to change it as it doesn't help me in anyways.

The most unfortunate thing is that we cannot cancel or reject or cut it out like Chrome does with "X" in the URL bar when it detects something which we dont know it to proceed with but Firefox, nah.

The biggest benefit is that it saves your time, helps you focus and avoid you waste your time, if the site has too many things to distract you from actual work. Like YouTube has great courses and podcast interviews and I have saved them and want to direct go there (https://www.youtube.com/feed/you), then I am saved from going to main page which has unwanted videos that will only take my time, losing my productivity. Is Firefox not concerned about our productivity, is Chrome only cares?

Do check 3 screenshots attached for better understanding, the 3rd one is from chrome.

Hello👋 I am using firefox developers edition on build 132.0b2 and my UI is not rendering correctly, the themes work but the objects like the bookmarks toolbar and the refresh button and the home button even some of my extensions is not loading and other things also not loading, but fortunately I know the keyboard shortcuts for these functions and they are working just fine but all the buttons are just not there My device is a Dell Latitude E7450 and it has a normal core I5 5300U so it is not an x86 arm based processor I hope that you find a solution ASAP as I am really struggling with my browser like this and btw I really love your work and the products that you give Thanks for doing the hard work! bye

my extensions got unpinned and the new tab button is gone, the tab overview is gone, the extension button is to the left of the address bar, the back and forward buttons are to the left of the address bar, the back and forward button are swapped, WHY.

In the screenshot i pinned the 3 extesions i use again, they were unpinned before

Youtube's side panel on the left does not load at all, the videos on the homepage do but none of them can be played. When I play a video the website doesn't load that either. I only get an hourglass icon on the tab. Image attached.

Google search results don't show up immediately, despite being loaded. Only after about 7 seconds. Image attached.

I don't have this issue on other browsers. It has only started occurring 3 days ago, I'm clueless as to what the cause may be.

Solutions I have tried: 1. Restarting my PC. 2. Turning off all my extensions. 3. Running Firefox in troubleshoot mode. 4. Refreshing Firefox.

I got a new PC and tried to import my Firefox bookmarks. But on the right side menu when you click bookmarks, it only show recent ones which actually aren't recent at all. How do you get that selection to show all of the bookmarks instead of recent?

Also I'm still getting a prompt underneath the address box to manage bookmarks and I can't get rid of it. How do I clear that out?

This hang is not consistent. I have been switching back and forth to get details for this thread with no issue. But very frequently when I have switched away from Firefox to another app and then returned to Firefox the app has completely frozen. I can see everything clearly but can do nothing at all (neither the web page or Firefox). I haven't yet identified a pattern.

132.0.2 has Relay and CashRewards installed. 133.0b8 is vanilla.

I'm using gesture controls on HyperOS to switch apps.

No issues with any other apps.

Is this where I report such things?

I am trying to send an error report for a website to Mozilla. I got to the menu (3 vertical lines in the upper right) but there is no option to send an error report.

I run the latest version of Firefox.

Lately it refuses to open on first attempt - be it from a start menu link or double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop or trying to open a html file directly.

It's annoying and i'd like to fix it.

I've done all the usual stuff like clearing the cache.

Hello! Several days ago I had to make a new Win10 computer account and being that when my FireFox reinstalled all my settings from my FireFox Account after signing in I noticed the small search bar at the top where you could use a different search engine was missing. I have been racking my brain to figure how to get it back. Could someone be so kind as to let me know how do I get the small search bar back at the top. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don

I am starting to use the new utility which allows me to group tabs. But I would like to see only the name of the group and not the whole list. How can I collapse the list of tabs which belong to a group leaving only the group name shown. Then with a click I should be able to see the corresponding list of tabs if I need it. Saving and closing a group is not a solution, as the group disappears from the Sidebar. Thank you for your help. Best regards Ray Ballisti [edited] @bluewin.ch Switzerland

Prior to the 6/16/25 release, hitting the back button on the three button control on a page with no previous pages would open the home page without closing the current tab. After the update, it closes the tab before opening the home page. This was useful for quickly opening multiple tabs, as well as preventing accidentaly closing a tab. Please revert this change, or make it a setting.

In recent weeks when I open my Macbook and go to https://meet.google.com, the page that loads says "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know." The issue is only on Firefox and not Chrome or Safari. When I see the error page, I look at the URL and it has the word "unsupported": https://meet.google.com/unsupported?meetingCode=landing&ref=https://meet.google.com/landing

So I dragged firefox to the trash, reinstalled and the issue persisted. I do not have a VPN. I'm using my own Wifi at home. If I switch to my desktop computer (m2 mac ultra) and go to the same Google Meet URL, I don't get a 404 error on firefox, however no one can hear my microphone any more as of 1 month ago, when I didn't have this issue in the past and I've done everything that everyone has told me to (in order to fix it) and nothing has worked.

Laptop: MacBook Pro 2021, MacOS Sequoia 15.0 Firefox: 13.0.1 (64 bit)

I have latest version of firefox on my windows 10 dell inspiron 7560 ... I have been using firefox for about 18 years now

system info - i7 - 8GB RAM, windows 10, one 128 GB SSD and other 512GB SSD

Since yesterday, it has been crashing after every 2-5 minutes; in troubleshooter mode as well...

I ran Windows RAM memory test, it turned out to be okay... I ran a Dell hardware test, it informed me that my fan is not working properly; though I doubt its the reason for my Firefox crashing

Below is one of the crashes in text - can someone help please?

useragent_locale: en-US This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

How do I stop it from appearing please? It's the address bar.. field. I don't know what to call it, english is not my native language. I just want it to remain small and static like it always did. Now it becomes a huge field that takes up too much space and blocks my vision and I just want it to disappear.

I wish Firefox would stop changing stuff like this.

For the love of God. Effective yesterday, why can I no longer open a new tab in Firefox browser on a Windows laptop? Is this a bug or was it an intentional update to delete the visible 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon, and make it elusive, frustrating, and impossible to open a new tab? I found a workaround (right click and select the new "New Tab to Right" option from the list of drop down options), but this circumvention is mindboggling and inefficient at best. Please help. One of the things I have loved about the Mozilla organization for the last nearly 20 years of using Firefox has been the organization's dedication to make internet browsing simple and safe for users. Replacing the 1 step 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon with a 3 step right click move is the opposite of simple. Please troubleshoot.

WSJ did some sort of update and now things are broken in the regula browser. I've tried disabling all my extensions, putting multiple sites on the cookies exceptions list and turning off protection in regular mode and it does not work. Private Browsing works out of the box no issues.

The main way to know if you have issues is do you see the stock ticker near the top of the webpage, your name with account info, and some drop down windows. The Live Update sub-websites are broken. I think WSJ on some sites like those thinks I'm not logged in or can't verify I'm logged in.

Its weird. I've had similar things on FireFox before, what is regular mode doing? Why does Private browsing work? Can I somehow "force" the same settings in a regular windows on a per Website basis? This doesn't seem possible at this point.
