I had a Firefox Update earlier today.

When I brought up the Firefox Home page and typed in a search term eg E Bay. It went to the top of the page instead of staying in the main search box in the middle of the page as it normally is. How do I return to the previous system where I can click on the arrow to the right of the box which was in the middle of the page.

Thank you

Derek

Opening a new tab shows the default page, which includes web search of default search engine. (In my case Google).

This is the same as it was. HOWEVER, I can't type within the Google Box on the page. Typing there instantly reverts to typing in the address bar.

While the result is the same, a search directed to Google. The implementation is exceedingly annoying!!! Don't have an input box which can't have anything inputted to it!

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a simple HTML oversight, but please fix ASAP. Thank you.

Dear Firefox Team,

Look at the attached image below. The background 'black' really looks basic. Theme which I have set is great but look at that black background. It should also get changed as per the theme color or atleast provide us an option to set a new wallpaper instead.

That black Firefox background doesnt look good. For example, look at Microsoft Edge default tab background. It shows an image or theme colors which we have set. Opera gives us an option to set background image as wallpaper or it will change as per the theme set. Same thing expecting in Firefox also. I have searched for an option to set a new wallpaper in background but there was no such option.

I would request you that in your coming updates, kindly add an option to set a new wallpaper atleast of our choice. It would look great and more appealing.

Thank you.

So I have quite a few tabs open on my phone in Firefox that I want to sync to my computer. However, I noticed that some of the newer tabs don't appear in the sidebar after auto syncing and manually syncing. I don't want to close the tabs in my phone until I'm sure sync sees them all so I can pull to my computer. How long does it usually take for sync to see the newer ones?

Hi,

Am I the only one plagued with an issue about the option "View" > "Toolbars" > "Bookmarks Toolbar" > "Only Show on new Tab" ?

It finally used to work until version 88

(prior to that I had to use custom css tricks)

With 89, it does not work anymore

After migrating from Firefox 87 to 88.0.1 under linux-64 (debian 10), the browser became very slow. Typing has a delay of 2-3 seconds between end of type and appearence on screen. Same for loading pages. Migrating back to firefox 87 is a nuisance since part of the setup is lost and mozilla keeps insisting daily to switch to firefox 88. The articles in "Fix slowness" do not seem to help.

Any suggestion?
