Why Firefox lacks having right click option (context menu) for multiple search engines like Chrome (Chromium browsers) and Edge has somewhat "Chrome-like omnibar in Mozilla Firefox"?

If I am using a certain search engine as default but don't use it all the time or want to use another without changing the default search engine or want to search a term or sentence via any search engine, then Firefox has no such option or addons (yes, checked thoroughly for latter).

Opera has from day one, Vivaldi also has it, Chrome allows it via extensions, Edge does via addons, Brave as chrome does via addons, Naver Whale (South Korean browser, underrated, seriously) has options to put more than 1 search engine for search results.

Adding images below for reference.

Why Firefox is seriously so old and outdated and nowhere close to standards of 2024 and 2025?

Somebody made a post 10 years ago around 2014 🤯🤯🤯 and Firefox, as usual went their way as they are doing now.

Hi, I just installed the latest update (I think it's 136.0.2). I guess I skipped some/several versions. Suddenly my main menu isn't workin anymore (clicking it with the mouse, that is) There is some overlay which I can't find out, how to remove. Even the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons don't have any function. Luckily I can still access the menu via keyboard shortcuts. How can I remove that overlay bar ... or did I catch some malware ?

Firefox is my default browser and I use Yahoo Mail. In the past, while writing an email, I would copy text from MS Word file (ctrl+C) and paste it (ctrl+V) in Yahoo Mail. These commands do not work anymore. Need a solution.

All of a sudden, the text in my Bookmarks bar has turned black making it unreadable on the black background. Any idea why this happened and how I may revert the text back to white? Thank you for your help.

I always use the middle mouse button (pressing the scroll wheel) to open and close new tabs, but since the update, it doesn't work anymore and now types "=" if the cursor is in a text field. For context, I use an MX Master S3, mapped with Logi Options+.

Anyone else having this issue? How do I roll back to the previous version??

SOLVED: It was a bug with Logi Options+, not Firefox. When I hovered over the tab for the presets I had for CaptureOne, I noticed it also said Firefox. So seems something weird happened there. Deleted that preset and the issue in Firefox went away.

I couldn't find a way to delete this thread, though.

I am on v130 of Firefox and on some websites it just freezes. I cannot tab across. Even if i refresh nothing. But when i use Chomer all working fine. Read some things on how to correct this but does not work. Any advise?

Hi everyone! 👋

I hope you’re all enjoying browsing with Firefox. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s incredible how many cool features and settings are available to make browsing safer, faster, and more enjoyable. I thought it would be great to share our favorite tips and tricks with each other!

Here are a few of my favorites to kick things off:

Boost Privacy with Enhanced Tracking Protection 🔒 Did you know Firefox has a built-in feature to protect your privacy? Under "Privacy & Security" in the settings, you can turn on Enhanced Tracking Protection, which blocks third-party trackers and unwanted cookies. It’s a quick setting that gives extra peace of mind!

Organize Tabs with Simple Shortcuts 📑 I’m always juggling multiple tabs, so using keyboard shortcuts has been a lifesaver! Try pressing Ctrl + Shift + E (or Cmd + Shift + E on a Mac) to get a quick overview of all open tabs. You can then jump between them effortlessly.

Get Faster Browsing with Pocket Integration 🧳 Ever see a cool article but don’t have time to read it? Just save it to Pocket, which is integrated with Firefox! It’s perfect for building a collection of things to read later, even offline.

What are your go-to Firefox hacks? I’d love to learn how others are using Firefox to make their browsing even better. Whether it's an add-on you love, a keyboard shortcut, or a cool setting, please share below!

Happy browsing,

When using any dark Firefox theme on ChromeOS, the contextual menu text and background are both dark. This means there is little to no contrast, and so the text is very difficult to read.

Unfortunately, the ChromeOS screenshot tool doesn't work on Linux apps, and so I'm unable to share a screenshot. Tested using several dark themes, including the default -- behaviour was consistent in all.

Firefox installed using the official package through the built-in ChromeOS Linux VM "crostini". Issue has been reported by other users on other platforms in the past, so this seems to be a long-standing bug.

My screen has been zoomed so I only see half of the email or image. Support at yahoo said that this is a Firefox issue. I would like to"unzoom" so I can see the full screen ar one time.

I’ve been using Firefox with a screen reader, and while it works for most basic browsing, I’ve noticed some issues with certain sites. For example, form fields aren’t always announced properly, and sometimes navigation landmarks are skipped. When I test the same pages in Chrome, the experience feels smoother.

I’d like to keep using Firefox, so I’m wondering — is there something I can adjust in my settings to improve screen reader support? Or is this more of a compatibility issue that needs to be reported as a bug?

If others here use screen readers with Firefox, I’d love to know what has worked for you. Are there specific add-ons, preferences, or troubleshooting steps that make accessibility better?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi, I was asked if I could contact you by google disability.

I'm having a huge problem creating a channel on youtube with a live.co.uk account when using NVDA.

I press b until I hear account menu button button submenu, pres enter or space, then arrow down to create channel and press enter. Nothing seams to happen.

Google disability has shown me a couple of video or audio files proving that it can be done, they've even said that they tried creating an account with an outlook account, what live.co.uk is called now from my understanding.

SO I'm really confused as to why they can do it and I can't.

I can't show you with OBS because it messes with my screen readers speech so if you have another way I can show you; please let me know.

I've already tried the following, suggested by disability support: 1. uninstalling and reinstalling firefox.

2. making sure addons are disabled, the only one I left enabled was a volume booster but I doubt that would be the issue.

3. Setting NVDA back to factory settings and disabling all addons.

This has been confusing me on and off for up to a year now.

Dear Support Team,

Ever since updating Firefox to the most recent version my pause/play button does not work with tabs open. (like youtube, spotify(browser) etc.)

I tested for mechanical issues, but those do not seem to be the issue, as the key itself work perfectly fine. Different apps (like netflix, and spotify(desktop)) do not have this issue.

If you require any additional information in regards to this inquiry don't hesitate to ask.

- Adrian

Additional Information

Firefox 136.0.1 (20250310180126) Installed on: March 12, 2025 at 8:50:54 AM Status: The Update was successfully installed [copy and pasted from settings]

I can't turn off the "Find in Page" or ctrl f function in Firefox. Everytime I type something the bottom bar pops up making Firefox impossible to use. Can anyone help? I've been at this for 2 days now and I am forced to using MS Edge as browser.

I am 82 years old and have Essential Tremor. I am on medications but my hands still shake enough to give me problems with your audio volume sliders.

Is there a way to make the audio volume sliders wider?

If not, there should be.

Thank you.
