My bookmarks/settings bar on my PC now only displays the address bar. The search bar, which I regularly used, has vanished and I can't find a way to restore it. A reset to default does not help. Thank you in advance for any help.

Please look into fixing this problem. What is the purpose of the web search bar in the middle of the screen if it cannot be used? There is a setting that allows it to be there but nothing that can make it a default search bar. The address/search bar up top is always the default no matter what I've tried. It's nerve wracking to see something there you can't use. If there is something I can do to fix this please let me know.

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.

IM ON WINDOWS 10 AND EVERYTIME I TRY TO MAKE FIREFOX MY BROWSERSOMEONE IS BLOCKING IT AND SENDING IT TO MICROSOFT EDGEWANTING ME TO MAKE MICROSOFT EDGE MY BROWSER AND I DONT WANT EDGE I WANT FIREFOX. I HAD FIREFOX AS MY BROWSER YESTERDAY BUT SOMEONE TOOK IT OFF SOMEWAY. ijust tried it again and edge wont let it happen.i do kn how to switch browsers and something crazyis going on here.

After last update, when I open the bookmark sidebar (CTRL+B) and change its size (width), and then close Firefox, sidebar's width change to previous size.

How to fix it?

Hi,

Every time I close the sidebar for bookmarks, it reappears when I open firefox again. I don't want it to appear at all if i can help it. Looking online only seems to show me how to toggle it on and off.

this needs to be able to be disabled. I cannot view my reports on medicare.gov due to this security measure. Help and forums are not helpful.... It says just open in a new window, but if you do that, you have to log in and then it is not a new window, and will not open. Now I have to go another browser which irritates me to no end because I have used firefox always. There are many sites that have embedded information and reports that I would like to see, but cannot and they are perfestly SAFE. NOT ok firefox.

When I open up a website of a non-Mozilla Company Website using your Fire Fox browser----your "system" automatically loads my Login information--- my User Name and Password. What action can take be taken so your "system" doesn't do that?

This is relatively new. i have ALWAYS set my search settings so that it only shows my bookmarks and previously visited websites, and i have NEVER visited mozilla.org before now. i even install Firefox from an installer i get from a DIFFERENT PC.

So why now is Mozilla.org coming up as the FIRST result when i type the letter "M" on the keyboard?

i checked in Settings, under Search, and "Search Suggestions" are all unchecked, and the only things under "Address Bar" that are checked are "Browsing History" and "Bookmarks". And i already checked my bookmarks and deleted the newly added "Mozilla" folder (which must have been put there after an update), and History is empty, save for my few visited sites. Firefox is also set to "Never Remember History", so any NEW wesbite visits get wiped out after closing the window.

After typing "m", when mozilla.org came up in the results, i have hit Shift + Delete to remove it from the list, but as soon as i type "m" again, it's right back there!

i realize that it is self-serving for Mozilla to have themselves as a recommendation, but it clutters my view when i am looking for MY URLs; the ones that i visit regularly.

am i missing something? please tell me there is a way to turn this off...

Basically when I click an image, it shows up in full screen instead of on the side like I'd like it to. Once I click the 'x' at the top right, it has appeared at the right side like it's supposed to. Is there a setting I can change to stop this from happening. Everytime this happens, the preview is always low quality so it looks bad. An example is the Panda image provided. Thanks.

Why do the search settings revert to moderate no matter how I set them? I am using the current versions of Firefox and Duckduckgo on Windows 11. Both are set to 'off', but revert to moderate as whenever Firefox is restarted.

Even though my laptop, tablet, phone and PC have the language settings set to English (GB) my Firefox across all platforms has changed from displaying English results to displaying results in French. I have gone through and changed all my language settings in and outside of the browser from English (Canada), to English (GB) to no avail. It still shows up in French. and I have had an French to English translator popping up when searching in Firefox. I can't see anywhere else to change the language. Everywhere I see, it says English (GB), but still displays French headings to the searchs. Any help will be great. Thanks.

I set up a custom search extension and am trying to use 'z' as the keyword.

It doesn't work. If I use anything else, it works fine, I just can't use 'z'.

Since I use 'z' in Chrome, I'd like to keep it consistent.

I don't see any other search engines using that keyword.

Is there something I'm missing here? Why can't I seem to use 'z' as a search engine keyword?

Thanks for your help!
