As the title says, how do I disable firefox suggest in the firefox app on IOS? It suggests websites when typing into the search bar, which I have only ever visited in private browsing and it suggests them, even after clearing private data in the settings.

The first Tab that pops up upon opening Firefox does not pick up the entire word/subject I am looking for. I use an Ipad/IOS and my search engine is Bing. When I type in the subject I am searching for, only half of the first word is picked up. I have to move to the next open tab to retype the word. It only happens on the first tab. Example: looking for Genealogy. It only picks up “ealogy” the first 3-4 letter ALWAYS MISSING. Can someone help. Thank you, Lynn
Hasn’t worked since latest update.

Hello - I have two questions:
1. My seach icon defaults to the dearch bar - before I used to see the Google page with the search window in the center of the webpage - Is there a wau to change my setting to that as a default? 2. Search times on Firefox are taking longer than usual - is there a way to check why and speed this up? In internet speeds are higher than normal so I guess its not related to my internet speed. 3. Cn I talk to a firefox rep?
Thank you

Hello, I am trying to add the URL https://searx.org/search?q=yellow (omitting: &language=en-US&time_range=None&safesearch=0&categories=science) as my default search engine (when I type in the address bar of a new Firefox tab).
I have tried every combination of removing characters from the search (https://searx.org/search?q= and all the way to just searx.org) in Firefox iOS -> Settings -> Search -> Add Search Engine, I get the response, "Failed Please fill all fields correctly." It only gives two fields: 1) Title (searx) and 2) URL (and I filled many different ways as stated above).
Trying to do this on my Linux Mint desktop on Firefox too and am having even less luck! Seems like I don't even have the option to change my default search engine, or even my New Tabs (only if I open a New Window does it open with https://searx.org). New Tabs is only giving me the option for the MFirefox front page or a blank page (both that automatically search Google from the address bar).
Anyways, if you can help with any of these, that would be great. I couldn't find anyone having issues with adding a search engine to Firefox with similar issues as to mine (I never had crashing issues).
P.S. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search-searx/ MAY be a valid option, but the fact only 400 people have downloaded it and use it which is very phishy if you ask me. Sure, searx is not too popular, but I am not equipped to test random app (extensions) I find on the Internet. Trying to see if they are connected to searx at all, and I don't personally have the developer knowledge to tell if this is a trustworthy member of the searx community.

The issue has been reported here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12053
I have Firefox as my default browser on iOS. However, tapping “search web” from the context menu that appears when text is selected, opens Safari instead of a new tab in Firefox. The only workaround is to tap “look up” from the context menu and tap “search web” in Siri, breaking up what earlier required a single step into two steps.

Hello, since the latest update, the entire app is really slow. Especially when typing in search terms into the universal browser window. I've also noticed freezing of the app which requires closing out the app and opening again to fix. I have lots of tabs I do not want to lose so deleting the app completely is not an option. Please advise. I believe this has been reported multiple times in the app store with users experiencing the same or similar issues. Thank you

Every time I do a Google search in Firefox, a popup from Google appears suggesting that I change my browser to Chrome. It ignores my previous answers of “No thanks.” How can I block that? I already have the popup blocker turned on in Firefox.

when I enter any search term on any search engine listed on FF, I'm directed to an error page 404. Qwant displays error page, "we have sent you too far mea culpa!"
I have removed and re-installed FF on my phone and re-added Brave and Qwant search engines but they continue returning error messages (404).
If I go directly to the search engine site things function correctly but when using search on the address bar it malfunctions.
In the past the FF search bar with these engines have always worked well.
Any suggestions?
I’m sorry I’m not sure Firefox is installed probably I’m still seeing google etc on my search engine

Every time I try to add a search engine (the one I’m trying now is “wiki.pokemoncentral.it”) Firefox on my 6th generation iPad with iPadOS 15.6 (latest version) crashes, and it does that even with my iPhone Xr. I don’t know what to do, I think it’s a bug or something like that. Please Mozilla, if there isn’t any solution I can do, fix it.
