How do I permanently remove this new Bing search engine from Firefox Browser? I don't like Bing. I go into settings, and change my default search engine to Google. But, the moment I search for something it shows that its Bing in the top left corner of the page. I can't get rid of it. Please help! I really don't like Bing! It has never fully helped me find what I'm looking for, or been thorough when searching for what something means. Can you please help me remove Bing from Firefox Browser? I sent 2 images showing what I mean. The first shows me wanting to use google to search for a word. And, in the second is what happens after I do that. You can clearly see Microsoft Bing in the top left corner. Thank You for any and all of your help & time!

Since `monospace` means something diffrent on every device, and I need consistency between clients I use `Roboto Mono` on my Website as ASCII-Art font. For some reason Firefox on Windows cannot render the font properly (view image). What can i do to fix this? The problem presists across my desktop and Laptop. See for yourself https://nx2.site/my-ascii-art (I cannot guarantee this is always up + In the future it's hopefully fixed?)

Two days ago, my firefox browser started not restoring the previous sessions. I changed nothing in the configuration and I don't remember I had a crash. The option "Restore Previous Session" does not appear in the "3-bar menu > history" and it appears grayed in the History Firefox main menu.

What I've already tried or verified following the instructions of mozilla forum: 1) Settings > general > “Open previous windows and tabs” is checked as it always have been; I unchecked and and rechecked but nothing changed; 2) Settings > Privacy & Security > “remember history” is selected. Also tried to Settings > Privacy & Security > "Use custom settings for history" with "Always use Private Browsing mode" not checked. No success 3) I also deleted sessionstore-backups folder under my profile. The new created folder, even after closing some new sessions, has only the "recovery.jsonlz4" and "recovery.baklz4" files. There is no "previous.jsonlz4" inside which seems weird. 4) through about:config I checked that browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash was true. In fact, I have Firefox in a second computer with no sessions restoring problem. I compared all browser.sessionstore.xxxx variables and the values are the same.

I still have the problem and do not know what to try next. Reset Firefox?

Having changed for a time to another browser and imported/exported back and forth, I am presently with three bookmark menus, one after another. When a bookmark does not appear, I have to go to manage bookmarks to see in which one it is. Is there a possibility of merging the menus or only by manually checking in one menu and scrolling to the next, etc. and eventually deleting the excess? If the last is the only option, is there any way to get a second display to work from instead of having to scroll back and forth? Thank you for your imput.

I've been using Firefox since Netscape died and never had this problem.

For over half an hour I've been dragging and dragging and searching the web ... I couldn't get the URL in the bookmarks if my life depended on it.

I read about that star thing -- WAY to slow! Nobody pays me to organize my tabs.

Why is this not working anymore?

THANKS!!!

FireFox continues to provide no easy solution to the ever decreasing font size in menus and toolbars. This is an accessibility issue and FireFox fails. Yes, I can increase text font size of displayed webpages, but this doesn't address the more profound issue of font size in the browser itself (menu and toolbar text). This has been a known issue for years. The only solution offered is writing code, which is no solution at all.

I've just had to completely reinstall windows without being able to backup my files (I couldn't launch my computer in order to actually back them up) meaning I've lost my recovery codes. I thought this would be fine as I could just sign back into firefox on this new install of Windows but as it turns out I must've forgotten to put my sign in information into my password manager. Again, I thought this would be okay as I still have access to the email I used to sign up to my firefox sync but I got the message saying I'd lose my data which isn't fine and now I'm at a bit of a loss. I've had to use a spare email to make an account and ask here but I'd really love my old account back. Is there any way at all I can get back into my account without losing my bookmarks and passwords? If not, how much information would I end up actually losing? I'm slightly unclear on that part. Do I lose absolutely everything? I'm a bit stressed about all of this ontop of losing all of my old computer files so I'm sorry if this is a commonly asked question but I was struggling to find anything that helped me D:

Any advice at all would be really appreciated thank you so much!!

When I use FF, I find that it is much slower than say Chrome. For instance, when I start to type an email in FF nothing happens. 5 seconds later I double click on the empty space and only then does it start typing (very annoying!). I have discovered that FF is using more mB than any other application on my computer, always: ie, today I have 1 research article open in FF and nothing else and it is using 770mB (as per my device manager). In Chrome I have my gmail open, as well as 4 research articles and it is using 650mB. Additionally I am using LibreOffice right now with 5 open/active documents and creating a powerpoint presentation in Impress, and even that is only using 720mB. Why is FF using so much? And this explains why for months that I see things taking just a bit longer to process when using gmail in FF. Thank you for your replies-

No matter where I try to go on the net, aside from the search engines, I get the same Secure Connection Failed error, and trying again does nothing. I've been using Edge, Chrome, and Brave to get to sites, and only come back occasionally to see if Firefox is working again. I even tried a fresh install, and reboot...still isn't working. My anti-virus is Vipre. I don't use any others. Why, after years of using Firefox, is it that suddenly it's useless?

Hi, since v.112 the firefox sometimes asks the primary password, seemingly for no reason. There are no stored passwords on the concerned pages, and it asks not on the page opening, but after many seconds or minutes. It occurs me on various OS's and machines, but mostly with the same add-ons. Have you ever heard of such a problem? Or is it a new "service" of the firefox or same add-on? Regards: mzee
