I need a default search string in order to add Firefox as a search option. Directions on the app advise how to add a search option, but a default search string is required and I haven't been able to figure out what use. https://firefox.com/search is the best I can guess. Any help for an old man is appreciated.

My Samsung laptop uses Microsoft Outlook and it just froze my Comcast emails on the laptop (but not Samsung S23 phone). This after a failed effort to start a 1password account that refused for transfer saved passwords from Firefox, and also won't let Firefox use saved PWs to open sites.

This remains a problem even after theoretically deleting the 1password account from phone (a success) and laptop (partial success; icons still appear and require manual PW entries by me). I'm confused about the FF and Duck-Duck interface and maybe I should delete Duck-Duck if FF provides the same amenities and privacy? -- Greg

For the last few months Firefox on my android phone has been often (but not always) forcing searches with bing. I have all search options set to Google so this should not be happening and I don't want it. I have no extensions installed at all. I have also turned off studies as I saw reports online that this can sometimes cause the problem I'm having but it makes no difference.

Hello, I don't like or want to use the homepage and i would prefer to just hide the button instead of accidentally hitting it when reaching for the address bar / search box. But it seems like there's no option in settings to hide the button.

Am I missing something or has this really basic setting just never been implemented?
