Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.

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.

I think I will just permanently turn off automatic updates because Firefox suggest has just turned itself on again. I want to retain my search and form filling history like I always do but not have it automatically appearing when I am searching something in the search bar. this is a matter of privacy and Firefox still makes the same mistake over and over again. I can't get an IT job but this guy who keeps making the same mistake every time, angering millions of users every update still gets to keep his??? And the most hurtful thing is, we cant even talk to the people who make it directly to tell them they are messing up, I am speaking to a guy who has nothing with making the damn thing, who is probably just going to tell me to delete everything, which defeats the purpose of keeping history on.

After upgrading to Firefox 140, I can no longer use the down arrow to quickly select a different search engine.

For example, if I want to search for something on Wikipedia instead of my default DuckDuckGo, I used to just type the search term, press the down arrow twice and hit enter. If I wanted to search for a youtube video, I'd hit the down arrow three times, etc. The selector for different search engines in the address bar seems to have changed in a way that no longer allows this sort of quick and easy keyboard-only method. Is there a way to re-enable the use of up and down arrows to quickly select a different search engine?

Hi, since the new update the shortcuts/search buttons on the smaller search box (desktop, windows) are gone, and I can't figure out how to get them back, nor can I find anyone asking about the same issue so far. It's happened on every device that's gotten the update. I added a screenshot so you know what I mean. There were always shortcut buttons under the textbox, so I can quickly search in google maps or wikipedia etc. but now there's only the dropdown menu. on the left. I used those buttons a lot so I definitely want those back! Thanks

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?

This started recently, maybe with a recent Firefox upgrade.

Normally, when you start typing in the Address Bar of a Firefox Window, a dropdown list of suggestions appears. Very helpful.

However, NOW, the dropdown list covers up the Address Bar so I can't see what I'm typing. I can still type, and what I type goes properly into the Address Bar, only I cannot see it. (See attached screensnatch.)

Do I have a switch in the wrong position, or is this a bug?

It used to be that when entering a search term in the search bar, you could use the arrow keys to select the search engine before pressing enter to make the experience entirely from the keyboard. Now, one must use the mouse to select the engine to be used. It also does not revert to the default search engine after executing the search.

I attempted to set *browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride* to false, and that did not work. I noticed that I had been involuntarily enrolled in an experimental study: Address Bar Update Rollout v1•rollout Address Bar Experience Update which may be the cause of this unwelcome behavior change. If exiting out of that study is possible to restore the previous functionality, please advise how to achieve this.

Please advise how to bring back this work flow efficiency.

(I am not referring to the address bar.)
