I keep getting a message on screen saying "page refuses to load"; I don't know if it's a problem with the search engine or the browser (I have been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine recently). I haven't used Firefox for years now, and have never used it on my own device so I'm still getting to know it.

Am not able to search from address bar. Input sits a second then Startpage appears from the home page with the start bar.

Also, where exactly do I access java script. about config does not do anything because I cannot search from address bar? Or is it disabled on this version which, according to info I found Beta and Nightly have the about config option.

Last, this is a brand new account so it might not show up.

Unable to Select Multiple

Hello Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I would like to report an issue with bookmark management on Firefox for mobile.

On my phone, when I search for bookmarks using the bookmark search feature, I am unable to select multiple bookmarks at the same time (for example, by long-pressing or using multi-select). This makes it difficult to manage or delete several bookmarks at once.

This issue does not occur on Firefox Desktop, where multiple bookmark selection works as expected. The problem appears to be limited to the mobile version only.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox on a phone. 2. Go to Bookmarks. 3. Use the search bar to find bookmarks. 4. Try to select multiple bookmarks.

Expected behavior: Ability to select multiple bookmarks in search results on mobile.

Actual behavior: Only one bookmark can be selected at a time.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, MAS

When searching on webpages, the image will look blank with a red box outline, or will have the image and the box outline. This happens whether or not the image is an interactive element. Even after refreshing the page the problem persists. In private or regular windows it happens. After tapping on the red box, the image will load, and usually stays loaded if I leave the page and then come back.

This is on the android mobile version of FireFox.

A screenshot is below of what the boxes/images typically look like

How Do I Disable The Search Engine Icon In The Address Bar On Android?

How do I delete/remove/disable/kill the search engine icon on the left side of the address bar in Firefox Nightly on Android? The about:config toggle browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride in the desktop version doesn't exist as an option in the Android version.

Nobody asked for a search engine icon in the address bar and nobody wants it. It's already irritating enough that searching from the address bar instead of loading a search engine URL like an adult is a ~~feature~~ that can't be turned off, and I don't need a crapulous little icon reminding me of that on a mobile device.

I really like FireFox mobile, but the amount of misspelled words is starting to become an actual problem for me.

I use a Samsung S8 with Android 9 and whatever predictive text functions it has are turned off because I find them beyond grating and it's just not how I check for spelling errors.

The reasoning to this function being ommitted was (last time someone asked the question) due to space.

Why can't this be an official plugin that people can add?

I'm supporting FireFox entirely for ethical reasons (the only non-chromium browser that still cares about privacy) but I just can't type like this anymore.

Will something be done about this function missing?
