Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

Mac user here with an feature request: please provide a toolbar button for the `Share >` menu. I know it's behind the tab contextual menu (aka right-click menu) but still, it belongs on the toolbar.

After manually deleting a link from my bookmarks, that unneeded link is still suggested in the address bar after the fact.

This is while using the Windows version of Firefox 140. In the Search > Address Bar — Firefox Suggest section of settings, I only have the Bookmarks option enabled. I've tried disabling History > Remember search and form history and enabling History > Clear history when Firefox closes options as well but still have the problem.

I'd really appreciate any advice.

i have used mozilla for many years, i HATE google! last night 12/31/24 duckduckgo was my search engine, i stayed up until 1 or 2am on 1/1/2025 and watched several youtube videos (i had been watching them all day) and turned my computer off and went to bed. around 9am 1/1/2025 i got up and turned on my computer, clicked mozilla in my toolbar and started a search, I GOT GOOGLE RESULTS, SO HIT THE BACK ARROW AND NOTICED GOOGLE WAS MY SEARCH ENGINE!! DID YOU DO AN UPDATE OR ANYTHING TO CHANGE MY SEARCH ENGINE TO GOOGLE? i managed to download duckduckgo and make it my search engine again. BUT i NEED to know if this happened on YOUR END, or if GOOGLE did something. I HAD NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO MY COMPUTER ON 12/31/2024 OR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!

IF MOZILLA DID THIS , I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT IF IT WAS NEFARIOUSLY DONE BY GOOGLE, THEN IM PISSED!!! THANK YOU!

When ever I start Firefox, Bing comes up. My default search is Google. This is set in settings. Why is Bing even there? I do not want it associated with Firefox. I am getting ready to dump Firefox unless this can be undone.

See the attached. I get these despite having search suggestions disabled. I even turned it on long enough to uncheck that grey-ed checkbox. Made no difference.

Thanks

The entire web seems to be creepy beyond belief! The stock in trade is my life. I don't want you people spending your time trying to dream up ways to build the cheese that leads me into your maze. I just want to buy a product. I want that product to work for years. It should be reliable not flashy. Why is that so hard these days? When did we become people who would accept junk that needed to constantly be repaired after purchase? Why does an upgrade do exactly the same thing it's predecessor did, but more slowly and requiring more resources? Why can companies build something and then a few years down the road simply stop supporting it? Here in the US car companies were required to support their products for 15 years. As expensive as phones have become and as disruptive as changing operating systems is we need similar legislation in the tech industry. Google needs to be broken up and not be the hub of the internet. No matter where I go in the net my browser always goes to google first. That's just creepy. So please someone just offer a product that doesn't make me a product by it's use.

Good day Developers,

I found the clock widget in Firefox doesn't work well with the time zone and city searching. For example, search for the Houston Texas US time not found.

Is the Houston Texas not a big city to be in the list?

Thank you for your reply

Yesterday, I corrected my "Job Title" from a mistake I made 8 months ago when I joined the company.

Somehow a New Job notification was created and now I am receiving Congratulations for a job I have had for 8 months. It is embarrassing.

Is there any way to delete or remove the Notification that claims I have a New Job, since that it not factual. I only have an updated title, which was incorrect to my error.

Thank You,

I asked a question yesterday afternoon and left the tab open. This morning there was a response to my question. In attempting to implement the instructions, I inadvertently deleted the tab with the instructions. Now I cannot find it again. I have been through the list of questions both open and answered and cannot find my original post. I would assume that there is a way to search by my user name to find all my posts but I cannot find one.

When I find an internet site I want to share I go to file and share. It only gives me a choice of my comcast.net address and I want to share things via my aol [email]@aol.com address. Using my i-phone with a different browser to send videos I was given a choice of the two e-mails an chose aol an it works fine. One reason I don't like my comcast e-mail as when it comes to my apple i-mac it goes through something called Mail where I try an open it without signing into comcast and it is very slow to download. Apple blames comcast and comcast blames apple. Please help by writing to [email]@aol.com
