Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

Usually, when I start typing the address of a website I visit frequently, Firefox will suggest the complete address. Now, for the last week or so, it doesn't. For example, if I start typing guardian.com, the default is to search, and then only when I type the final "m" does it switch to "visit" when I press enter.

In settings, under Search, and Address bar, the box to suggest browsing history is checked, and at about:config, browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true.

I have Firefox version 141.0.3

This is a little embarassing to admit, but my firefox suggest keeps suggesting me spankbang.com when i type sp, I noticed this when i was trying to search spanish on the search bar.

When I follow the suggestion to it's full autocomplete it leads to a video I watched a long time ago but have since cleared from my history. I tried long pressing spankbang to remove it from suggest but I don't really know how to remove this. I did include a screenshot, but the attached troubleshoot data is from my computer not my phone. I'm not sure how to include that.

Please help me, I have a date and I don't want to accidentally have that autocomplete.

Sincerely, Firefox Android User.

Why can't I just delete recent searches

I want to delete just the recent searches or rather where it says duckduckgo suggestions, but I don't want to do it 1 by 1 (because that parts doable of google since it's 1 click on duckduckgo that differs) or just make it disappear but not delete. I just don't want them there.

Turning off "Show search suggestions" makes it disappear which isn't what I want. Is there a way to get rid of/ delete them in mass without just turning it off?

Firefox's Desktop application just gave me a desktop notification for"BootstrapBrain" on what the best web template for financial applications is. I've attached a screenshot. That is a site I've used in the past; I guess Mozilla is using my web history to suggest content :/

I don't like the usual "suggested content" i.e. when you open a new tab you see headlines and the weather, but this feels really different. i have never seen suggested content in this format before.

I really don't appreciate what appears to be an advertisement that was enabled by default. I'll comb through Firefox's settings now to turn this off. Just wanted to loudly voice my complaint first.

So, I configured the suggestions in the search bar so that nothing from my history/previous searches is displayed (see attached image with current settings). However, suggestions from my past searches still continue to appear. I would like only the autocomplete suggestions from my search engine to appear (I'm using Kagi). I already tried to delete my browsing history (Crtl + Shift + Delete - Everything, browsing and download history), it deleted everything but my past searches... Can somebody help me?

Thanks! attachments: (search suggestions settings, search suggestions appearing now)
