Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

Hi, Every time I search using Firefox (especially through the address bar or default search), SafeSearch is automatically enabled — even though I never turned it on and don’t want it. I’ve tried checking Firefox settings, search engine settings, and even my browser profile, but nothing seems to work.

I’m not sure if this is a browser setting, an issue with my account, or something being forced externally (like by Google or Bing).

Can someone tell me:

Why SafeSearch is always on?

How can I turn it off permanently?

Is this tied to Firefox itself or to the search engine provider?


Using latest Firefox version on Android 15.

I've added the search engine default for brave in Firefox which I've used for since the beginning but it won't show up as choice in my settings choice and I added in I type it in it says the string is wrong. It is not wrong it doesn't add in because your software browser Firefox isn't working correctly what is the problem.

Currently it says removed if I try to add it again yet it doesn't show up why?

Please fix your browser so it adds in easily it should I should be able to click it it shows up in my choices I make it my default and then it works fine it doesn't do that because you've added too much crap

Extremely frustrating

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.
