All of a sudden, my default search engine changed to Google. I didn't do it and don't want it. The "settings" still show Firefox as my default, but it doesn't stop Google from hijacking my searches. I want to get rid of it.

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to na.nikken.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

The site is ok when I open on another window and even on Google which I don't like.

When I click on an e-edition link for a newspaper in gmail, the link doesn't direct to the correct site in Firefox. When I use Safari, and click on the e-edition link for the newspaper, the link works as it should and goes to the correct page. I would like to have the link work on the Firefox browser. Any suggestions. I think there might be some sort of security thing/action which is misdirecitng the link. In the past, this problem happened with other sites.

Thank you,

There is a search bar in the middle of my screen (Firefox/DuckDuckGo) It does not work. If I type in it, the cursor moves to address bar. This is very annoying as I am looking at the search bar and watching what I type. Then the search bar fades out so I can't even try to type in it anymore. From what I have read on the forum, Firefox has disabled the "fix" for this problem. So essentially they have made the visible search bar useless and have fixed it so that those of us who prefer to use it are completely out of luck. What does Firefox get out of this? I'm feeling really manipulated and will probably just switch back to Chrome. From reading other questions, I get the feeling they are planning an ever better search bar (can't image what that could mean, all I want to do is search). But why destroy the old one before the new one is ready?

I have upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and my Firefox bookmarks have disappeared. I understand that Firefox keeps a copy of my bookmarks which appear each time I start Firefox, so how can I make them appear again automatically when I open Firefox?
