How do l get rid of yahoo which has taken over my laptop after trying to get flight tracking last week? I have always hated it and it is stopping me searching with Firefox. I am old & not too tech savvy.

Subject: Firefox Search Bar – “Search in New Tab” right-click option

I frequently use Firefox's separate Search bar with several custom search engines. Currently, I can open a search in a new tab by clicking my mouse wheel and then the arrow button, but this functionality isn't obvious from the interface. With the about:config...browser.search.openintab, I can make it do new tabs or current tabs, but I don't get a CHOICE on each new search.

I suggest adding “Search in New Tab” as the first item on the right-click menu for the Search bar's arrow button. At present, that context menu prominently offers “Pin to Overflow Menu,” which is easy to select accidentally but doesn't provide the much more natural search-related choice. And it's a terrible choice for accidental clicking because it undoes your menu bar, requiring a fix.

This would allow mouse-only users to choose at the time of each search whether to replace the current tab or open the search in a new tab, without changing a permanent preference or using a keyboard modifier.

The option to "Open in New Tab" is normal behavior for menu items. It should be the same for searches in the custom search bar.

Thank you Thomas

I've been using Firefox for so many years I don't use any other browser unless a site doesn't work,then I use 'Opera' (very infrequent). I updated Firefox to v154.0 and now searching does not work properly.

I used to be able to enter a question into the bar/box where one would normally view any given URL, select return, and Firefox would bring up Yahoo! search results.

With this update, that doesn't work. When I select return the URL that had been in the space just reappears. If I visit the Yahoo! main page and try to use the search box with the magnifying/eye-glass, it launches a blank tab.

I'm forced to use the AI icon to get a search result. I do NOT want to use that feature.

Also, with Firefox 154.0 I cannot remove other search engines. With every update I remove Google, Bing, Duck-Duck-Go, Wiki, Amazon, etc. because I ONLY want one search engine, Yahoo!

I checked the Yahoo!Search Extension and made sure all the "allow" buttons needed were selected.

I want to remove the other search engines from the Settings tab, and I would like to have the same behavior prior to the update: simply type my question or text into the main html bar/box and select return, and get results.

I see that other had an issue starting with version 142 or so that was similar, but I've not had this issue until two days ago.

Any help is appreciated. And yes I delete my cache etc. regularly. I'm on Mac OS 15.7.7 and again, it has never been a problem until updating Firefox to v154.

Please share a link about what Google (AI??) is doing and how Mozilla is dealing with this. What can users do by way of publicizing what Google is doing and defeating its ridiculously overblown sense of entitlement.

On my Android phone, I sm not able to select Firefox as a search engine in the list of available search engines in the drop down box because it is not listed. Why is this and how can I get it listed as a choice? I have Firefox installed and an account created. I am not sure exactly what the problem is. Thanks

None of the topics seemed to match my issue so I selected "Browse".

In FF 153.0.1 on W11 64-bit, after Firefox updated to the latest version my Alt+D does not work. Ctrl+L still works. In Incongnito, Alt+D DOES work. However, in regular browsing it does not work, even after I have disabled all of my extensions. I don't know why it's not working or what I could do from my end to try to get it working.

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to report a user interface bug I have encountered in the mobile version of Firefox for Android, version 153.

The Issue: When I tap on the search/address bar to type, the top part of the browser, including the search bar itself, disappears, leaving a blank, empty space at the top of the screen. This behavior began immediately after updating to version 153.

It seems similar to issues reported by other users where the top bar does not reappear correctly or disappears under specific conditions . The problem makes the browser difficult to use, as I cannot see what I am typing in the search field.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Open the Firefox for Android app (version 153).

   Tap on the search/address bar to bring up the keyboard and begin a search.

   The top bar, including the address bar, disappears and is replaced by a blank space.

Expected Behavior: The top bar should remain visible and functional, or at least reappear correctly, when the search bar is selected.

Actual Behavior: The top bar disappears and does not come back, creating a blank space at the top of the screen.

Additional Information:

   Firefox Version: 153

   Operating System: Android

   This issue was not present in the previous version and appeared immediately after the update.

I have tried restarting the browser, but the issue persists. It appears to be a bug related to the toolbar and keyboard interaction, which has been noted in other versions . Please investigate this issue, as it significantly impacts the usability of the browser.

Thank you for your time and for working to improve Firefox.

I have a lot of emails stored in different local folders. My search now hang. They go so far than just hang. Is there a way to rebuild the complete indexing for my thunderbird install?
