Firefox Community Forum

Hi friends.

As shown in the image, if I enable "Address Bar - (suggest) Browsing history" option at about:preferences#search page, bunch of subordinate pages are displayed, which is barely useful, in my opinion.

I want to hide them, but I want to keep the auto completion functioning. For instance: I want my Firefox to complete https://youtube.com/ with only typing y, but don't want to see those 'Firefox Suggestion' pages.

Is it possible to set it this way? Or I can't just have it both ways? Please let me know.

(Thanks in advance, and responses in easy English will be much appreciated; I'm a beginner in English.)

Hi there,

Is it possible to add Dictionary.com to the Search bar so words entered there are searched at that site?

Previous versions of FF allowed me to map that site to that field.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.

Thanks.

I want Google to return 100 search items in Firefox. All the descriptions of how to do this mean you have to do the search, then go to the end of the address bar and add &num=100 and enter.

This is very tedious so I set up a special bookmark which did it. So I'd do the search, then click the bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and it would expand the hits to 100. However, I've lost the bookmark and I can't remember how I did it.

When adding a bookmark to the toolbar you need to specify the URL. In this case the URL will be the generated address from the search, ie. the current URL each time. How can I specify the curent URL when it is a dynamic address? It needs to start with "http" in order for it to be in the right format to save.

Now, somebody at Mozilla decided to add Google trending searches to our non-Google searches. Since I want nothing to do with Google other than (grudgingly) having an email account, is there a way to remove all those trending searches in one swoop? I removed the initial bunch, then went back later, and there were more. TIA.

Hey guys,

So I have Firefox suggestions via my browser history enabled but when I go to input something, only my bookmarks show, I tried to toggle it off/on bit didn’t work, anyone else having this issue?

Hello everyone,

My question is simple, how i can remove the possibility to have the text suggestion when i need to type something that have something in memory (like the screenshot)

Thank for your help

I've come back to Firefox for the first time since Chrome launched! Manifest V3 basically killing Ad Blockers was the last straw.

Anyway, I'm having an issue with Firefox and I can't figure out why - when I type in the start of a URL, it's sometimes suggesting sites that I've never visited / don't have book marked etc.

For example, if I type in d it automatically puts in dotesports.com - I've never visited this site, it's not bookmarked etc so I don't understand why it's being populated instead of sites I do visit that begin with the letter d. Please see attached screenshot Firefox D.

I've tried fiddling with my search settings, but it's not made a difference. Please see the attached screenshot.

I've checked my extensions, but they're all pretty standard / well known ones and none of them would be altering the search bar like this. I've attached a screenshot of my extensions.

Additionally, when I start typing in gm (expecting it to autofill gmail.com) it never seems to do so, even though it's one of my most visited websites. It doesn't have this problem with other websites I frequently visit, only gmail - any idea why this is / how I can fix it?

I like to be able to type a single letter into the address bar and go to a website based on previous history. For example I type 's' and speedtest.net pops up. I'd like to type 'g' and get google like I used to. Now, instead, global.americanesxpress.com auto-populates and cannot be "removed from history". I have disabled anything with the word suggest. I've unchecked everything under Address Bar except Browsing History and nothing removes this offensive site from the url bar. So I disabled Browsing history and just type the full URL. Is there any way to remove this site or is it now a part of the browser itself?

Can any one tell me how I can prevent Amazon coming up in any search results. I did have it blocked with a Copernic Agent programme, but that is not longer available. Since Amazon are the worlds biggest data thieves, I don't want them appearing here.

I need the shortcut search to work across a variety of keywords. For example, a search on the Mozilla Support website was called via: m, mzs, mozsup, If you add keywords separated by commas, the entire shortcut stops working, although there are multiple shortcuts in the default wikipedia shortcuts, such as w, @wikipedia.

I have ZERO interest in google features recently FORCED on my by an "upgrade"

show trending search suggestions

this is both checked and non-modifiable

Why?

I do not want this. How do I disable this evil setting?

Sometimes when I go to type something in the search bar, firefox will auto-predict what I'm going to type and suggest websites that I don't want just randomly popping up. Even though I don't have bookmarks on these sites, and they're not in my browser history, and I've cleared cookies and data, this still happens. I don't know what the problem could be here. I'm on ios, latest version of Firefox (this has been an issue for a minute). What should I check/do?

If I try to type the URL for Wikipedia in the URL field, Firefox suggests Wikihow. How can I change it so that it assumes I want Wikipedia?

(Using Firefox 134.0.2 on MacOS 15.3 (Sequoia).

Why is it when I want to go to a different website, such as youtube.com or google.com, the bar will autofill because I've been to those websites multiple times. But after going to spotify.com numerous times, the autofill never shows up and I have to manually type in the whole "spotify.com" because the web search bar thinks I've never been there before. Why is that and can I fix it?

how do i restore the red save button on articles for pocket? It's blank now. The last mozilla update for firefox removed them and they are now hidden behind the three dot thing requiring extra clicks. How do I put it back how it was before? I don't like extra clicks. The kids who design this crap must have a lot of extra time to click three times to do what one click on the screen worked fine, but they always have to mess with it and make everything hidden, take longer and be more tedious. Stop this madness. How do I get it back how it was before they wrecked it?????? HELP
