Firefox Community Forum

Somehow AP (news) has started showing up in the firefox menu bar. I'd like to delete it since I don't use it. It's not in my settings under search, nor can I just delete it by right clicking the menu bar. Can you help? Thanks, Stephanie

Can any one tell me how I can prevent Amazon coming up in any search results. I did have it blocked with a Copernic Agent programme, but that is not longer available. Since Amazon are the worlds biggest data thieves, I don't want them appearing here.

I will visit a site, say engadget. Then I can open another tab, and I expect when I type en or eng or engadge that it'll autocomplete to engadget, but it won't. For some sites, it works, for others, it doesn't. I'm a developer and am used to figuring stuff out, but no matter what settings I change it doesn't consistently work. I use Firefox on all my devices but on this one machine, it doesn't work. I've triple checked the settings. I am this close to switching browsers, it's so frustrating. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Every time I carry out a search (on Google or on DuckDuckGo), after I have my Google or DDG results I find a tab has been created with Britannica offering a result for the search. I never installed Britannica and I don't want it to appear - I want to remove Britannica from my system altogether. But I don't have a Britannica app in my Settings list of apps and I never intstalled it. It's like a virus. Can anybody help me to get rid of it?

My google search suggestions aren't working in the firefox awesome bar. Search suggestions are turned on. Opening the console gives this error, "SearchSuggestionController found an unexpected string value: Non-200 status or empty HTTP response: 403" I've tried using troubleshoot mode, making a new profile, etc. I still can't get it to work.

With search suggestions turned off and browser history completely cleared (all check boxes for all time), Firefox suggests AP News (apnews.com) when I click the search bar. This started kind of recently, though I'm not sure what version triggered the change. I'm not sure how to submit a bug report, so I'm posting here.

On Gmail some mails are not listed by search even if keyword is included. I search all messages based on the email. The global search listed only 3 messages even if I can find 5 emails in a directory (Gmail tag but in my case the folder has been created with Thunderbird). As an information Gmail build 3 discussions (same title) with 5 messages as in the same time Thunderbird show me only 3 messages then listed under list form. "5 on 5" are announced on the preview but only 3 listed on the list view ("Afficher les résultats sous forme de liste") My current release is 128.10.0esr (64 bits) on Windows 11.

I work for the Gwinn Area Community Schools, and this is my work computer. (As in, it has never been used for anything 'adult') I searched the term "call" in the search bar, and one of my suggestions was a little dicey. Yelp suggested, "call girl in Gwinn, MI" I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware, in case there are more edge cases like this that could be a lot worse. I would like to continue supporting Mozilla's funding initiatives, but I'm going to have to turn off sponsored suggestions if I get results worse than this.

I just made this Mozilla account to file this, so I was not signed in when this happened. I have searched call very frequently, as I am often adding students to our "call down" list. Not sure if the frequency would have had an impact. Happy to answer any other questions if needed!

Again, I don't think this one's a huge deal, but definitely something to keep an eye on! Thank you for all your work on the hands down best browser!!

Hello, as the title says. The help page is no help as features descibed do not exist. Take a look at the screenshot aswell.

What I did already:

Turned suggestions off. Removed the url from history and bookmarks + "forget about this site". DEL & SHIFT+DEL. Right click. There are no 3 dots to open a context menu. (contrary to what is stated on the help page)

The Address Ba" apparently honors abbreviations of * (for search within Bookmarks only) and ^ (for search within History only). Just about every reference, in Firefox Help, seems to equate the Search Bar with the Address Bar. So, I would expect that the Search Bar would honor said abbreviations. But, it does not. Isn't it supposed to?

Configuration: Firefox Desktop, v138.0.4

Why do I have search results of pages inside my adress bar, that I almost never use?

This goes mainly for Reddit.com and Tagesschau.de, as im from germany this seems really strange?

The site mentioned is newssite (Tagesschau.de) controverial at best and I never use it. I have no idea why its there, in 1 year I probably got redirected to there without knowing twice.

So it cant be the most used sites iam on, especially if there is reddit too. I dont have an account and do not use the site. Since when does firefox has Ads in their adress bar?

What is this and how do I get rid of it? I doubt that it is one of the most used sites in germany, it cant be for alot of simple reasons. Age of the userbase does not fit with the Internet User group. 50% of the country does not like them (tagesschau page). Germany is in the IT Darkages except the tech savvy youth and generation 1980 to this day. This newsgroup is targeted towards an older generation and is still heavily invested in TV not the Internet. As it is statemedia its also highly out of touch with the current more internet focused generations, so I doubt that its because they generate traffic or anything else.

Is there a way do blank all search results on default? And I would really like to know how this page got there.
