The shortcut icons on my home screen used to direct me to frequently used websites. Now shortcuts are showing up linking to to recently used websites, pushing off or even removing the ones recently used. I can't find anything in settings to remedy the problem so I have disabled home screen shortcuts. Do you have a patch to correct the problem?

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/136.0/releasenotes/ in 136.0 the shortcut for completing search strings to .com addresses has been changed from Ctrl+Enter to Cmd+Enter.

I visited quite a few unwanted sites today since i was used to cmd+enter shortcut for years. I type google.com and it highlights goo as I type. and instead of opening google.com in a new tab i visit goo.com in current tab. what a painful change. I had to dig to disable the .com autocomplete in the firefox setting (browser.fixup.alternate.prefix and browser.fixup.alternate.suffix), and get used to option + enter instead.

would be nice if this could be customized.

I'm trying to access my printer's embedded web server (EWS) by typing the printer's IP address into the address bar (as instructed by Dell support ). However, when I do this on desktop, Firefox treats the IP address as a search term, and takes me to search results instead of the the EWS. When I tried on Firefox for Android and Firefox Focus for Android, I did not have the same issue, but instead was taken to an all-black page (still unable to access the settings I need!). Any thoughts as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

Google Chrome treats the IP address as a search term on both desktop and mobile, so this might be a problem bigger than Firefox.

sINCE 36 HOURS AGO WHEN I START FIREFOX I GET AN ERROR SAYING Firefox is already running close the application or cancel I choose close and i get the message over and over if i choose cancel nothing happens the task manager show FireFox (3) running and my only way out of the look is to end task I was fond of firefox but there seems no way out of this conundrum

Within my account my location is listed as US. However, whenever I search for Amazon, Amazon.ca appears. I cannot seem to stop or correct it, though I have followed the steps posted here by others. I do not see Canada or CA listed anywhere in my account.

I get the above message when signing into a web site that I use. What does the message "404 INVALID URL" mean, why does it appear and how can I correct it?? I have checked the URL (address I am trying to reach) and it is spelled correctly.

Since the latest Sequoia 15.3.1 update and the latest Firefox update, when I click on a link in a page, I often get a message that it "didn't redirect properly" and I have to click on the address bar to make the page finally appear.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS 15.3.1.

Provide me with information to be able to access URLs without "www." notation, or advise me on browser/VPN/both settings to allow access to these "non-www." websites.

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~

Hallo, ich habe im Zusammenhang mit dem Übergang zu Windows 11 das Office 2024 Pro installiert. Dabei haben sich zwei Probleme gezeigt: 1. Für das versenden von Links mit Emails habe ich in den Einstellungen "Allgemein" unter "Anwendungen.mailto" das Programm OUTLOOK (classic) in beiden von mir genutzten lokalen Konten zugewiesen. In einem der beiden Konten wird im Gegensatz zu dieser Einstellung immer zu der Aufforderung zur Verbindungsaufnahme mit einem Microsoft-Konto verlangt. Zu einer Anzeige des Outlook-Sendefensters kommt es nicht. Welche Ursache kann es dafür geben und wie kann ich das Problem beheben? 2. Wie in dem beigefügten Bild dargestellt, erscheint bei der Nutzung der mailto-Funktion in beiden lokalen Konten diese Fehlermeldung, die bei normaler Nutzung von Outlook nicht auftritt. Meine Internet-Recherche zu dieser Fehlermeldung hat leider nichts greifbares ergeben. Könnt Ihr mir weiterhelfen? MfG, R. Ziegler.

Hi. Mozilla has been my preferred browser since it first came out and up to 3 days ago my use of it has been awesome. But 3 days ago my location started showing as if I lived in Miami instead of Oakland where I actually live. The "problem" is every time I do a search it gives me responses as if I lived in Miami... and i don't.

At the bottom of the page, it says the responses are due to my IP address, so I contacted my internet provider (Comcast) and they tell me my IP address is identified as Oakland, and told me to look else where.

So I am now looking to you. Do you have any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help you might offer. Be well, Joseph

Improved copy and paste of urls in Microsoft Edge

I have a URL: https://gnpa.org. When that URL is used, FF or something is appending /#myaccount to it by something. i.e. https://gnpa.org/#myaccount It only happens on FF. How to fix? Thanks for any ideas.
