How do I confirm that the AI that was recently put into the browser is not working? I want nothing to do with this technology, if it is not able to be disabled then I will switch browsers.

Mon. 11/10/25 -- Good evening. Periodically, the Wallpaper option that's available when you have a new tab opened is NOT THERE. I've used your backgrounds and sometimes my own. But out of the blue, a new tab will have no background picture and when I use the pencil to open the menu, there are no wallpapers showing.

I don't see a reason for this, particularly since I haven't changed anything and no one else has access. This is a Dell Desktop, XPS 8960, fully loaded, enough of everything and running on Win 11.

So - are there limits to the graphic size used for a background? Would this be caused by a FF update? So many questions, and thanks for answering them.

BTW - I can't select the EM box below, so just send to me at: [edited email from public community support forum]

Started yesterday, whenever I close out Firefox it switches my search engine from Kagi back to Google. Go into settings, change back to Kagi. It's reset to Google as soon as I close Firefox again.

this site is down why this ? https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html

I had to wipe clean my iMac today due to some access issue. Everything was gone !!! I had to re-install Firefox as the default browser. Now I want MarketWatch to open on Firefox every time I open the Firefox browser. Please send step-by-step instruction to this 82 yrs old lady user.

Also, I had Mozilla VPN. Please show me how to re-install/download/put back this service so that I can park it on the tool bar and choose to use it at will.

Please keep your instruction very human friendly. I don't comprehend well the "digital lingo".

Thank you for your understanding.

In my settings if have set quant as my search engine.

But since today whenever I open my Firefox browser on iOS the search engine is switched back to google

When I click the „use alternative search engine: quant“ icon it works using quant as expected.

I am using Firefox 144.1 (62735)

after a flooop update there is an annoying side bar. I want to remove it but there is no information on how to do it! can someone please help me figure this out. When I went to Flooop , it just rambled on about firefox, I am using Floop!!!! Help me if you can, thank you.

Why there is no option to use/configure a local running ai chatbot in the "Choose an AI chatbot to use in the Firefox" sidebar? Or does it exists and I didnt see it?

I know his sounds stupid, but I can't find the settings button on my browser. The browser is fully up to date (updating is automatic). I don't understand what the problem is. I ended up on this help screen from the settings listed in the My Account page. Is this the only one? Or is there another settings page & button somewhere else in the browser. Your advice and information will be appreciated. Thanx.

I cannot get full details on my banking page with Firefox anymore. It is my primary browser . I had the issue with Chrome also when I tried it but it was ok after removing Norton web app. I removed that same app from Firefox but only get a header on USAA and nor details of my banking. What can I look for or do to remedy this? I need Firefox to show the detail as it always has done. thank you email is [edited email from public community support forum]

Often (though not always) Firefox will prompt me to "Make Firefox your default browser" when first run or when run after being closed, despite me clicking "Set as default browser".

According to "KDE Settings / Default Applications", Firefox ESR is the default web browser and the default file association for HTML files. Firefox and Chromium (and I presume Konqueror) are installed. A similar laptop with similar software on it does not exhibit the problem.

What is Firefox actually checking to determine whether it needs to ask "Set as default browser"?
