Whenever I highlight text on a website and right click a popup appears enabling an automatic search for that highlighted text. But that search sends me to Ecosia's website. A great cause, but I'd prefer to choose my own instead of Mozilla doing so for me.

How do I either: 1. Change that context right click search default search engine (please note not a provider search engine in settings. I mean right click activated searches only).

2. Or remove Ecosia search from it completely.

I do not have any Ecosia extentions installed. I also have gone into config:about and not found where this right click functionality in Firefox is.

Please advise. Thank you

After updating firefox from 128.8.0 to 128.9.0, no embedded videos will play (youtube, instagram, plex, etc...)

The only way to get them to play is to run the browser in troubleshoot mode. Even a fresh browser profile doesn't work. Disabling hardware acceleration also does not work. Tried firefox 137.0.2 and that also does not work. Downgraded back to 128.8.0 and videos play flawlessly again.

I'm running firefox on gentoo linux on a thinkpad x13s (arm64) which uses Qualcomm Adreno 690 graphics.

Anything I should try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had this issue a few months ago but it then seemed to resolve itself. Now it's back.

I use passkey on a few sites like Google, Youtube, Hubspot... every time I attempt to use passkey on such sites Firefox locks up and I can't select anything on the page, a different tab. It just completely locks up and I have to restart it.

I always deselect cookies.

I don't have this issue on Safari so it is the only way I have to deal with this issue.

I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox after getting pissed off that Chrome removed Unblock Origin. I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.

My Yubikey worked on the snap version of Firefox but I got rid of the snap version because it was consuming 40% CPU to use Google Meet. The apt version uses less CPU, but now my U2F keys don't work. Any website that says "Touch security key", touching the security key does nothing. No feedback whatseover.

What gives?

This is a horrible UX. Installing a browser and having it work optimally out of the box should be a one click thing.
