Firefox for Android Community Forum

I recently discovered ecosia.org search engine and decided to add it to Firefox on my mobile device. However when I search for something, the attached '404' page is shown. This invites me to 'return to ecosia.org' and re-enter the search parameters. Perhaps I entered the wrong URL for ecosia.org? Does it try to load the browser of that name instead of the search engine?

I just went to hit the menu button in Firefox Android and now there's a QR scanner icon instead which brings up the camera. I use the menu/settings typically twice a day. I use the QR scanner about once every 8 months.

I want a way to remove the QR scanner option from the URL bar.

Just like every other android phone, it already has a built in QR scanner within settings.

I don't need some Mickey Mouse bolt on to Firefox to duplicate that functionality, which in the process breaks essential functionality I typically use at least once per day.

I can only wonder what kind of person thought that adding this was good idea.

If there is no option in settings to remove this QR scanner from the search/URL bar can this stupid change please be undone until there IS an option to disable it ? This is really annoying and is a deal-breaker afaic.

Many thanks! :)

Example shown, attached. I tried different search engines but this change is part of Firefox itself and it occurs irrespective of which search engine is selected.

The instructions to allow the brave search to work from the address bar have never been able to work. So I'm willing to try this suggested "startpage" search, but they recommend to install it via an xpi file. Currently Firefox on my Android will not access the xpi file how do I change this?

No trust. Won't keep a browser that Google has to know everything. This is why I downloaded one. But search bar shows Google is there. I factory reset before cause of no trust. I'll do again if have too. I have asked for help on their helpline. Lied too, manipulated and scammed out of money.i had, passcodes, passwords, and fingerprints set up, and all info of accounts. Still, Google wouldn't give my accounts back that had money in, but would put an old account up. Sick of nosy, un trusted browsers!!

For some reason for the last year I haven't been able to search anything relevant to what I'm looking for some how someone has me hacked and Firefox is the only browser I can get through to I've bought new phones at first it works then a couple days later the same things happens with the new phone that happened with the last phone. Please can someone help?

The sound input icon prevents me from typing the site name. I do not use voice input, much less use Google. The input field is small and it is not convenient to edit the name of the site where you are going to go and then voice input is distracting.
