Firefox Community Forum

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.)

Regards, 흡폐치

I've used Firefox for 20 years through the various iterations of Windows, and have been using it trouble free on Windows 11 since November 2024. Two days ago, however, When I tried to open the Guardian site (www.theguardian.com) it would open very slowly and not load and of the pictures. This gradually got worse, the site taking for ever to open at all, and always with the little dot in the tab at the top left going from side to side showing it was still loading. I have tried everything I can think of. Opened in troubleshoot mode, changed DNS settings, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice (one time to see if it would work normally if I didn't actually sign in to my account). All to no avail. In fact now things are worse, in that the GOV.Uk website is now giving me similar problems - and a few other sites have become slightly slow and reluctant to open as well. My internet connection seems fine, and all these sites open without any trouble on Microsoft Edge. I am NOT very good at tech, and I am now tearing my heair out as to what I can try next.

Any help wopuld be gratefully received!

Hello,

we are observing big issues with mozilla firefox.

Few weeks ago it was impossible to use amazon with it.

Amazon support recommended us to not use the anti virus anymore, which was very strange. but it did not help.

After I add the antivirus addon to firefox it started to work. Unfortunatelly just for few weeks.

Actually we receive the following error and cannot browse or do anything Fehlercode: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

We have tried follwoing without success: - clearing cache - using problem investigation of firefox below button "help" - deinstalling and installing - installing the beta version

already after installation of firefox where normally terms and conditions to confirms shall appear we get the failure Fehlercode: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR nd the content cannot be downloaded.

Hence Amazon does not work below google neighter and firefox is the only way o use amazon, we will appreciate your help.

Looking forward for your help

When the VPN is turned On it acts like a dead switch and locks All bookmark toolbar links as well as Search entries stays locked and will not activate? makes FIREFOX dead in the water. (using Brave Search engine) Any advice?

8 out of 10 times that i try to connect to the following site:

https://www.tax.ny.gov/online/

I get the following error message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to otc.tax.ny.gov. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Now and then, I'm able to log in successfully. lately though, I'm having trouble logging in using Firefox browser.

This is becoming very frustrating. What could be the issue? What do i need to do to resolve the problem?

Je ne peux plus accéder à Facebook sur l'ordinateur. Attente éternelle de la prise en compte des mes codes. Alors que j'y accède normalement sur mon téléphone portable et sur ma tablette. Je suis protégé par Bitdefender. Quid ? Merci :-)

Why do I get a message that my Administrator is controlling my access when I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR AND ONLY USER? I used to get this on my Win 10 PC and now on Win 11! I don't know how to change settings on Malwarebytes. I got a suggestion to change the setting to use DNS over HTTPS, but it's already set there.

I'm trying to configure Firefox on Mac using our MDM. The goal is ultimately to control a bunch of settings, but I'm trying to start simple by just installing the 1Password extension.

When I deploy this .mobileconfig file, nothing seems to happen to Firefox. I made this by following the example at https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/mac/org.mozilla.firefox.plist but it doesn't seem to work and I am not sure how to debug.

Since your last upgrade, I have been able to get into any sites using CloudFlare security. Prior to that I had no problems at all. I have tried closing extensions and or clearing cookies. I especially want access to my banking account. How can I disable whatever was added to effect CloudFlare? CloudFlare either continues to cycle, or gives an error message.

Please offer a REAL search engine!!!

Not this garbage paid content at the top of every search: Wokepedia, Snopes, msm fake new, etc.. People are figuring out how this content makes it to the top of EVERY search, and we're not BUYING IT!!! People are leave Google /YourCensored Tube owing to their censorship and pushing billionaire globalist narratives.

Companies like Rumble & X are the future! MAKE an open source, truly privacy minded search engine or PREPARE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Because people are asking for it everywhere, notably on X!!!

No more FAKE msm news stories. All the search engines offered on FireFox Suck! DuckDuck GO used to be good, but now it's like all the rest.

Yandex looks to be one of the better options right now, but people are asking Elon Musk to do a real search engine.

Firefox is not allowing me to reach links to medical portal websites to set up accounts saying they can't reach the site and perhaps a firewall is blocking it. I have other accounts on this same portal... HELP please.

Hello, I'm an avid user and supporter of Mozilla Firefox. But I installed AVAST as an additional protection tool...and I have just subscribed today to Avast Antitrack to avoid being tracked and hacked. But, to enable AntiTrack, I'm now prompted to add it to Firefox !? Before any action, I'd like to know that this will be efficient and safe : can you confirm that this is compatible with Firefox's proper operation? Thank you, P.Huens.

I got the new FF update this morning and noticed shortly after when i got back online a bd_config.cfg file popped up onto my desktop windows 10. I deleted it not thinking anything about it and when back online again and it popped up again in fact everytime i did this it popped up no matter what i did and went online.

It has something to do with BitDefender i figured out uninstalled bit defender re installed it no luck

Refreshed\Reset Firefox with no luck either.

One specific cache entry always contains a trojan virus everytime I run an anti virus check. I can't say where this cache comes from as it appears even if I don't open a single new website. I delete it but it appears everytime I use the Browser again, even multiple times during one session. It is always the same entry code. Is there a way to block a specific cache entry or at least to discern where it originates?

Near the top of the Firefox page is displayed:

"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can caused this problem".

How do I resolve this problem?
