Environment

   • Firefox 153.0.1 (64-bit)
   • Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
   • Wayland session
   • Input method: IBus
   • Keyboard layouts:
       ◦ US
       ◦ Bulgarian (bg+bekl)
   • Graphics:
       ◦ AMD Radeon Graphics (renoir)
       ◦ WebRender (Software)

Summary When typing a multi-word search query in Bulgarian into the center search field on the Firefox New Tab page (about:newtab), the first word disappears immediately after pressing the Space key. The issue occurs only in the in-page search field. Typing exactly the same text in the Firefox address bar works correctly. Steps to reproduce

   1. Open a new tab (about:newtab).
   2. Click inside the center search field.
   3. Switch to the Bulgarian keyboard layout.
   4. Type the first word, for example:   български
   5. Press the Space key.

Actual result The first word disappears completely. The search field becomes empty and the caret remains after one blank space. Typing continues normally from the second word onward. Interestingly, pressing Ctrl+Z immediately restores the missing first word, indicating that Firefox performs an undoable edit operation rather than simply ignoring the input. Expected result The first word should remain in the search field after pressing Space. Additional observations

   • The problem does not occur when typing in the Firefox address bar.
   • The problem does not occur on google.com or in other web page input fields.
   • The problem is reproducible in:
       ◦ Troubleshoot Mode
       ◦ a brand new Firefox profile
   • No third-party extensions are installed (only the built-in OpenH264 codec is present).
   • Setting

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSearch = false removes the in-page search field, therefore the issue disappears because the affected widget is no longer present.

   • Disabling

browser.search.suggest.enabled does not change the behaviour.

   • If the address bar already contains text before clicking into the New Tab search field, the issue may no longer reproduce. This suggests that the bug could be related to focus handling or interaction between the New Tab search widget and the address bar.

Reproducibility Always reproducible on this system. Notes The issue appears to be specific to the Firefox New Tab search widget (about:newtab) rather than to the operating system, keyboard layout, input method, or user profile. ____________________________________________________________ The text above was created following extensive discussion and numerous tests, in collaboration with ChatGPT.

Shortcuts is a very helpful feature in firefox it makes u open any web from the homepage, but sometimes u reach a point where u need more shortcuts, currently the max number of shortcuts rows u can pick is 4 and each row has 8 shortcuts which mean u can only make up to 32 shortcuts only, and for some users including my self this is not enough. So my request is adding the option to make shortcuts rows up to 10 rows or higher.

Thank you for reading.

You just made an update that added a bunch of random garbage to the new tab page under a "stories" widget that I neither want or need. You included a setting that allegedly turns it off, except that it keeps turning itself back on no matter how many times I turn it off or where I access the setting from. One of the major reasons I switched to Firefox was because it didn't push things at me, like trying to decide which news stories were important for me to see the way Windows and Google are constantly doing. Firefox isn't a news source, it doesn't employ journalists, it's a browser. All I want it to do is open up websites and save bookmarks and if you're going to keep adding all this extra garbage cluttering up my new tab page, I'm going to use another browser that doesn't.

I click on the website page and scan through things then close that website. Then I get on the search engine page an icon of that website I just looked through added onto the search page as an icon. I do not want this. I know how to add websites I frequently visit so its not that. It must be a setting somewhere in my Firefox settings. How do I switch this off?
