I have added Startpage as another search engine and I can set it as the default engine allowing me to search with Startpage from the URL field. However, when I close firefox and start it again it's back to Google? Firefox 144.3 (63239)

Looking to disable Google iOS app from opening when I use the search/address bar at the top of the Firefox iOS browser. I like having the app for using photo search, but other than that, I prefer searching in the browser window. If this is not possible to disable, can it be built in to future Firefox updates? Thank you.

Search engines switches from Startpage, which I have added as an alternative browser, to either google or DuckDuckGo without prompting. App inactivity and swiping up to close Firefox both seem to prompt this behavior.

Only startpage and Wikipedia are enabled as alternative browsers, and all default ones are turned off.

Hi,

With a browser tab open to any website, I’m no longer able to use a saved shortcut upon tapping into the web address bar.

Tapping the address bar brings up the keyboard and screen as normal, except with a faded background. As soon as you try selecting a saved item it sends you back to the existing open web page.

Hi - I have added Kagi as a search engine and set it to be the default. This works as expected, until at some point, hours later, for reasons I don’t understand, it switches itself back to DuckDuckGo. Kagi remains available as a choice, and I can re-reset it back to default. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part. Thanks.

After the latest update, my default search engine in Firefox keeps automatically changing to Google, even though I’ve repeatedly reset it to Kagi. This seems like a bug, but let me know if there’s anything I can do on my end to make the change stick!

Hi,

I am trying to add Brave as the search engine on the Firefox settings in iOS, however, I continue to receive an error message stating “Please fill all fields correctly” I am using the below URL:

https://search.brave.com/search?q=%25s&source=desktop

And

search.brave.com or https://search.brave.com

But none are working and I continue to get the same error message

On iOS 18.6.2, the latest Firefox 144.2 keeps reverting my search engine back to Google, at least once daily. I set it to StartPage generally, but have found that any other search engine seems to revert to the Google default. Changing this setting usually is reverted within a few hours, but sometimes it may last a full day though. Can anyone help?

I want to disable the search-from-address-bar function. If I attempt to use the config editor, then I type about:config in the address bar BUT it does not open the config editor. Instead it displays search results related to the config editor.

None of those search results is the CONFIG EDITOR

ARGHHHHHH

I have several search engines setup and have been using them without any problems. Now with iOS 26 and Firefox 143.0.1 (61598), I’ve lost the ability to select the engine when typing in the address bar. But I found that it works fine when I set the address bar to display on the bottom. Did iOS 26 break this?

I signed up to use Firefox to avoid Google. I hate how they track you and hate their politics. Then I find out Mozilla uses Google. Suggestions please. I have 5 email accounts (none g mail) and want to search without Google. Will stop using Firefox. Sure looking like one huge corporation owns everything.
