Firefox Community Forum

Now, somebody at Mozilla decided to add Google trending searches to our non-Google searches. Since I want nothing to do with Google other than (grudgingly) having an email account, is there a way to remove all those trending searches in one swoop? I removed the initial bunch, then went back later, and there were more. TIA.

I constantly get pop ups for AI i don't want and the AI makes firefox slower. I don't see a use in AI integration with Firefox and I would like to disable it. How can i do this?

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?

With search suggestions turned off and browser history completely cleared (all check boxes for all time), Firefox suggests AP News (apnews.com) when I click the search bar. This started kind of recently, though I'm not sure what version triggered the change. I'm not sure how to submit a bug report, so I'm posting here.

Hi friends.

As shown in the image, if I enable "Address Bar - (suggest) Browsing history" option at about:preferences#search page, bunch of subordinate pages are displayed, which is barely useful, in my opinion.

I want to hide them, but I want to keep the auto completion functioning. For instance: I want my Firefox to complete https://youtube.com/ with only typing y, but don't want to see those 'Firefox Suggestion' pages.

Is it possible to set it this way? Or I can't just have it both ways? Please let me know.

(Thanks in advance, and responses in easy English will be much appreciated; I'm a beginner in English.)

When I start typing in the URL bar a search engine drop down appears. I do not want that to happen because when I do the URL text moves. I have turned off every search setting that I could find on the settings page, as well as trying various settings in about config.

Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.

How do I remove a shortcut from the Firefox address bar? I understand that I can "uncheck search, address bar, and shortcuts" in Firefox settings, but I think this just hides them, so I wanted to solve the problem fundamentally and asked for advice. Please tell me how to completely remove shortcut URLs from the address bar.

Hi there,

Is it possible to add Dictionary.com to the Search bar so words entered there are searched at that site?

Previous versions of FF allowed me to map that site to that field.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.

Thanks.

I want Google to return 100 search items in Firefox. All the descriptions of how to do this mean you have to do the search, then go to the end of the address bar and add &num=100 and enter.

This is very tedious so I set up a special bookmark which did it. So I'd do the search, then click the bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and it would expand the hits to 100. However, I've lost the bookmark and I can't remember how I did it.

When adding a bookmark to the toolbar you need to specify the URL. In this case the URL will be the generated address from the search, ie. the current URL each time. How can I specify the curent URL when it is a dynamic address? It needs to start with "http" in order for it to be in the right format to save.

I like to be able to type a single letter into the address bar and go to a website based on previous history. For example I type 's' and speedtest.net pops up. I'd like to type 'g' and get google like I used to. Now, instead, global.americanesxpress.com auto-populates and cannot be "removed from history". I have disabled anything with the word suggest. I've unchecked everything under Address Bar except Browsing History and nothing removes this offensive site from the url bar. So I disabled Browsing history and just type the full URL. Is there any way to remove this site or is it now a part of the browser itself?

Hi all, I'm using Firefox 140.0.4 (64-bit) on Debian Trixie and I'm getting a weird behavior with the auto-complete functionality of the address bar.

If I type the first character the address gets auto filled (see 20250711_First-character-auto-fill-working.png attachment), then if I type the second character the auto filled result disappears (see 20250711_Second-character-auto-fill-NOT-working.png).

I've tried any search option combination, but results doesn't change. At the moment I'm using for the address bar just "Browsing history" (see 20250711_Address-bar-settings.png).

The correct behavior would be, as in the past, that new characters confirming the address would leave things as they are. Do you have any suggestion on how to restore the original behavior?

Many thanks,

Raoul

The topmost item shown in the URL bar and the entry just below above the words, Firefox Suggest is an irritant for me. Where is this coming from and how do I eliminate this from the suggestions/autocomplete? I know it is NOT in my bookmarks and not in my browsing history.

Thanks for your help.

Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

Can any one tell me how I can prevent Amazon coming up in any search results. I did have it blocked with a Copernic Agent programme, but that is not longer available. Since Amazon are the worlds biggest data thieves, I don't want them appearing here.

When I type in a Google search in Firefox, a red dotted line (not the wavy red line from Firefox's spell check; spell check is disabled) appears. What exactly is this red dotted line? Can I show or hide it in settings? Can I change the setting in about:config? Please help. It's very annoying.
