It is kinda annoying as I use the address bar also for searching. I used to select google.nl and type over it. Now, this resolving interferes and I end up with a "funny joke?zx=(numbers)&no_sw_cr=(number)" in the search bar. I suspect it has something to do with Firefox as this started with the update to 139.0.1 Thanks for any help.

Firefox 139.0.1 on windows 11

When using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Z + X) for opening the AI sidebar, focus doesn't not shift to the sidebar input field, as it does for other sidebars (namely, Bookmarks and History).

Attached is an image of the issue. I've looked around online and found people with similar issues, though not that exact fault. At first I was concerned about viruses but I've run multiple virus scans of my computer and there's no other signs I'd associate with one, so I assume it's another variation on that problem. It happens randomly, no specific triggers I can think of. I use three Firefox profiles, and it's happened on two of them. A ton of search results (the attached is just one example, the top results of reddit had this as well) will have seemingly random words replaced like this. This also occured on a page in my university's website. When I try to copy these, they copy as their original words and not the weird symbols. I'm very confused, basically. It doesn't go away on reload, ctrl+shift+r, or cache clearing, but closing and reopening the tab fixes it.

After updating Firefox yesterday, when I use the search bar, switching between my custom search engines can only be done via clicking on a drop down menu at the left end of the search bar and selecting one with the mouse cursor. Previously, I could select my preferred search engine by using the up or down keys to cycle through them while typing a search, then hitting enter when the one I wanted was highlighted. Having to switch from keyboard to mousepad while typing a search is really annoying, I found the old way much more convenient. Is there a way to revert this, and put the search engines back at the bottom of the search suggestions, where I can access them with arrow keys?

Also, when I search now, the search stays in the search bar instead of changing to a URL, and I have to click a little internet globe icon at the right end of the bar for it to show the URL. This is also kind of annoying. Is there a way to turn this off, and just set it to show the URL every time?

I downloaded Firefox to update my address bar so that various search engines could be used. This was ok for the evening. But next time I booted up, FF reverted to what I had before. How do I make the address bar searches permanent. The FF version I am currently using is 139.0.4.

The entire web seems to be creepy beyond belief! The stock in trade is my life. I don't want you people spending your time trying to dream up ways to build the cheese that leads me into your maze. I just want to buy a product. I want that product to work for years. It should be reliable not flashy. Why is that so hard these days? When did we become people who would accept junk that needed to constantly be repaired after purchase? Why does an upgrade do exactly the same thing it's predecessor did, but more slowly and requiring more resources? Why can companies build something and then a few years down the road simply stop supporting it? Here in the US car companies were required to support their products for 15 years. As expensive as phones have become and as disruptive as changing operating systems is we need similar legislation in the tech industry. Google needs to be broken up and not be the hub of the internet. No matter where I go in the net my browser always goes to google first. That's just creepy. So please someone just offer a product that doesn't make me a product by it's use.

When ever I start Firefox, Bing comes up. My default search is Google. This is set in settings. Why is Bing even there? I do not want it associated with Firefox. I am getting ready to dump Firefox unless this can be undone.

How do I find where zip code is stored? When I use zip code search, it is prefilled to 48201.

I live in 45014. I do not know where the above zip came from. I've only ever been to Michigan once in my life and that was in 2002.

I've searched in settings and can't find where a location is stored.

I cannot get Foxfire to be my default browser no matter what I do. I set it as my default browser and Bing no matter what is opened upon opening up the internet with a foxfire icon. I am as my wits end, what do I do?
