Hello, I recently found Ecosia search to be force-installed in firefox, and after much digging I found this to be because of a new collab between them and mozilla. However, I HATE when things gets forced upon you, its the only reason I have stuck with firefox this long.

I cant seem to find a way to remove this search option from my providers list, please instruct me on how to do this, cause if I cant, I will unfortunately have to drop firefox as my browser.

//Kind regards

For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

My search engine has stopped working. I just get blank pages when I enter any subject in the search bar. I am forced to open a private window which always works without issues. Closely related to this problem I believe, is the fact that any online forms I try to complete and submit will not submit. Again if I copy and paste the address into a private window, I can complete and submit without any issues.

It is getting very frustrating to keep having to go private windows.

When I open a new tab, it opens fine, I get all the articles as per normal. But when I enter my search criteria I get nothing (see attached screenshots)

The sound input icon prevents me from typing the site name. I do not use voice input, much less use Google. The input field is small and it is not convenient to edit the name of the site where you are going to go and then voice input is distracting.
