I had Amazon in the search engine along with Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, etc.., and was using it frequently. However after some point, at least a month ago, only Amaozn disappeared from the search engine list. Even resetting the search engines to default doesn't bring back Amazon.

I've been waiting for a fix to come but since it hasn't come yet, I'd like to know if there are any way I can restore it.

current environment: - macOS 15.4.1 - Firefox 138.0.1 (I had this issue on v137 too)

Hello.

In about:config the keyword.enabled false does not work anymore.

So how on earth do we stop this stupid search option in the url bar. When i open a new tab, i'll get on a firefox tab. In the middle I can search (in the search bar), but after typing 1 letter, the search is moved to be in the address bar. WHY????

How to stop this madness?

Thank you for an answer

Hello, I recently found Ecosia search to be force-installed in firefox, and after much digging I found this to be because of a new collab between them and mozilla. However, I HATE when things gets forced upon you, its the only reason I have stuck with firefox this long.

I cant seem to find a way to remove this search option from my providers list, please instruct me on how to do this, cause if I cant, I will unfortunately have to drop firefox as my browser.

//Kind regards

I prefer to use Startpage as my search engine with Firefox on my Mac. I have that set up, but it's so annoying that when I put something in the address or search bar, no search happens. Instead, I just get the Startpage home page and then have to retype the same thing in there! How do I solve this?

I can't use Google search, Java not running yet it was the other day, I have 'Open264' plug-in, in 'about-config' Javascript.enabled is set to 'true'- I tried toggle it and re-booted but still same.

Then, I tried in browser 'safe-mode', lo and behold that solved the problem.... why is this? What I didn't mention is before doing all this I tried Java script and that work OK.... but not Google search.

Thanks, Dave

When I search using duckduckgo within firefox I get a white page with no results sometimes, it's quite frequent and I'm not sure what is the cause. I've tried disabling addons like Ubo, malwarebytes and had no luck. I've changed my firefox settings hoping that would fix it but it hasn't. It's like the page doesn't fully load.

Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

  • Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
  • Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance
