Whenever we use google on Firefox and search for anything it redirects to this "play.google.com/log?hasfast=true&authuser=0&format=json" There is only one extension and it is our webfilter that is blocking google play. What would cause all of our regular google searches to redirect to the playstore? The extension is up to date on the latest version and this happens on all computers in our domain.

Google is a suggested search engine, as soon as I move my cursor below the main search bar. I looked up how to remove a suggested search engine: menu->settings->search->check a selected search engine to remove. I followed those steps until I got to the search engine selection; google was NOT a checked search engine. Anybody have ideas I can try? I use win10, with duckduckgo as my default search.

Yahoo

I use google and firefox exclusively. But when I do just a normal search it defaults to "YAHOO" and I don't know how to change that. Dr. Keith Pratt

Notoriously false sources returned at top of Firefox/search engine results

Why don't you have a setting that lets a person "ignore" search resultes from known bad sources? I realize its my choice for search engine, but don't feel that option is available or even offered with any of their interfaces. The top choices always seem to return absolute false or mis-information. That is one reason I keep switching browsers and search engines. I'm ready to again delete Firefox for not meeting my needs, but instead wasting my time.

Good bye again.
