Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox za Android

Ever since the most recent stable Firefox update for Android; 151.0 (Build #2016160831), I noticed that the microphone icon is missing from the search widget.

Now when I tap where the mic is supposed to be in the widget it just opens Firefox without letting me voice type search. Is this a bug, or is it functioning as intended?

I'm a 68 yr. old tech dummy. I want to change my search engine and I also need to find the address bar in order to do this.

Thank You for your help, time, and patience!

Hi ! Is there a way to remove the small microphone present in a address bar of Firefox on Android ? I keep clicking on it by mistake, and it result in a small sound, then I have to wait that the mike activated itself before being able to go back (and there is another small sound). I looked into the settings, but did not find a way to deactivate it... Thanks :)

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

I have downloaded Firefox for my default web browser. However I do not have a search bar unless I open up the app itself. How do I get a search bar without having to go through the app every time? Thank you for your help.

yes, althouth i have mozilla firefox as the default in my T moblile adroid.main settings, but when i click on mozilla app and do a search, default in address bar is Google?. do you have URL path so I can add it to the list.( e.g. we have Google Bing, Duck, Perplexity, etc, but No Mozilla Firefox to select). thank you
