My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

When I open Firefox on my MacBook Pro laptop, the widgets will not load content. The first attached images is a screenshot of a current display. the other two images are screenshots of troubleshooting steps that appear to relate, but I'm not sure which might apply. When I try Step 1 "Force Enable System Widgets", I have found the setting to be "false"...which I set to True...but that doesn't fix the problem.

Hi, asking on behalf of my friend who is paranoid that he now has adware.

He has the default firefox homepage setup with the 'recommended stories' enabled. He noticed that on one occasion it had a banner ad in between the recommended stories redirecting to an affinity.net link. He has ublock origin.

He even made a mockup of what it looked like, attached the image.

I couldn't actually replicate this on my end, are these official mozilla ads?

All of the sudden Firefox no longer opening previous windows and tabs on startup, which is how I have had it set up forever.

The last few days, instead of opening previous windows and tabs when I launch FF, it opens mu Home Page. I then have to "reopen previously-closed windows " or "restore previous session."

Regardless of which I choose, I then have to manually close the first FF instance (the one with the single tab - my home page). Then when I'm done with my browser and I X out of it (or Exit" out), when I come back in the same thing happens - I'm presented with my home page, not my open tabs.

When in Firefox, I have a list of ICONS I can choose from. I also have News, etc., under my ICONS that I can look at before I go on to the ICON I want to check out. In one of those News items, I checked "Bookmark" so I could get back to it later. In so doing, it took me to my Bookmark page, but wouldn't let me get back to my Firefox page I have my icons on. Help Please!
