“why is google search and search bar not working in firefox”

When the above search is entered into the google search box the following url reference populates the url line but does not resolve to a the search results. Sometimes the tab gets frozen and hitting enter does nothing. Sometimes hitting enter will cause the url to resolve to the search results.

Further whenever a link is clicked in gmail it opens another tab with the following url but does not resolve to the search results and tab is frozen

following url:

“https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=why+is+google+search+not+working+in+firefox”

Tried both above issues on Chrome and no problem. Have rebooted pc. Running Win 11

I'm running 137.0 ver of Firefox, so the latest one. I've got an issue I don't know how to deal with. I always had set up that my address bar was also my search. So I could do both just from address bar. But one day, without me going to settings and changing this, it stopped working. I had to add separate search bar to my browser to open new webpages(previously I set up to open search results within an address bar, in the new tab). Now whenever I even open new blank tab and type URL in the address bar, it does nothing. It doesn't even go to typed URL. I have to search for it in the search bar, then it displays required website. It happened overnight. One day I just turned off my PC for the night, next day when I swiched it on, it was like that. What should I do now?

I open Firefox and the search box has defaulted to EBAY. How do I change it to Duck Duck or something else ? There's no down arrow by the seach box to change and no instructions in your help. It's too hard to find the answer. Thanks!

I have used Firefox for years and when searching then Google was automatically the default. The last month or 2 when I am using search, it is defaulting to Yahoo. Why did this happen and how do I change it back to defaulting to Google? Thank you.

Duck Duck Go search from the address bar suddenly does not work. All queries return a page with the search box and no results. Google search functions correctly. Additionally, the search function on Yahoo Finance no longer functions. Both of these websites and functions work on a mobile version of Firefox connected to the same wifi. At first I had no idea what was causing it but after using troubleshooting mode and turning on extensions one at a time it turns out that metamask was causing the error.

I have been a Mozilla customer for some time now; no problems. All of a sudden when I select the Firefox icon I get Bing. I don't want Bing. How do I make it go away? DB

bold textI need help with my Firefox browser: When i go to home page it shows firefox but when I go to put my sight into the browser it shows as GOOGLE search instead of Firefox. I am wanting to get as far away from Google as possible. Thank you ahead of ti,e for any help.

Since the last update, Firefox is not working properly. The search engine is completely dead, not working at all, and anything related to Google, like Gmail, never opens. I've tried several things, but nothing works.

My search engine has stopped working. I just get blank pages when I enter any subject in the search bar. I am forced to open a private window which always works without issues. Closely related to this problem I believe, is the fact that any online forms I try to complete and submit will not submit. Again if I copy and paste the address into a private window, I can complete and submit without any issues.

It is getting very frustrating to keep having to go private windows.

When I open a new tab, it opens fine, I get all the articles as per normal. But when I enter my search criteria I get nothing (see attached screenshots)

I have been using Firefox and Duck duck go to search. This morning I could not search and duck duck and was requested to I download Duck duck go as browser. Now I can't search except in Google. Help. I plan on uninstalling the Duck duck go browser. What is a good private search engine?
