I wish to search fs paint numbers but keep getting this message cannot accsess gb.search.yahoo.com.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at gb.search.yahoo.com..

Since the last update, Firefox is not working properly. The search engine is completely dead, not working at all, and anything related to Google, like Gmail, never opens. I've tried several things, but nothing works.

To allay concerns about a Microsoft warning about a Firefox installation, why when following Mozilla advice isn't the result persistent? By this is meant that Bing is used instead of Firefox (Google) in the search, Is this how China steals so much intellectual property?

The link noted is as follows: https://www.bing.com/search?PC=A1AM&PTAG=20231227&q=Smart+and+Final+Market%2C+Chatsworth&FORM=A1AMMC

HOW CAN I GET RID OF GOOGLE? THEY'RE SO INVASIVE. I need Firefox to take over every single thing! The worst single thing I did, is downloading the app from Google! Mozilla and Firefox need an alternative for their downloads, of the app. Can't you help me, please?

I have used Firefox for years and when searching then Google was automatically the default. The last month or 2 when I am using search, it is defaulting to Yahoo. Why did this happen and how do I change it back to defaulting to Google? Thank you.

My search engine has stopped working. I just get blank pages when I enter any subject in the search bar. I am forced to open a private window which always works without issues. Closely related to this problem I believe, is the fact that any online forms I try to complete and submit will not submit. Again if I copy and paste the address into a private window, I can complete and submit without any issues.

It is getting very frustrating to keep having to go private windows.

When I open a new tab, it opens fine, I get all the articles as per normal. But when I enter my search criteria I get nothing (see attached screenshots)

All of a sudden, my default search engine changed to Google. I didn't do it and don't want it. The "settings" still show Firefox as my default, but it doesn't stop Google from hijacking my searches. I want to get rid of it.

bold text When I use Google to search I always use the microphone instead of the keyboard. When I am using Firefox to search there is NO microphone.. I have to use my keyboard. Is there somewhere in settings where I can add this function to search?

Thank you

I still have windows 8.1. I do all my bill paying online. I can no longer open my banks website for online business. I thought Firefox had renewed support through 2026? Wasnt Firefox a search engine? The listed search s - none of them open banks etc.

Why is there a search term bar in the body of the web page but it jumps to the address bar when a search term is entered. Why would firefox design a place in the body of the web page that does not work. How is this corrected?

Whenever we use google on Firefox and search for anything it redirects to this "play.google.com/log?hasfast=true&authuser=0&format=json" There is only one extension and it is our webfilter that is blocking google play. What would cause all of our regular google searches to redirect to the playstore? The extension is up to date on the latest version and this happens on all computers in our domain.

I use google account No.1 for log in Mozilla Also I use google account No.2 When I open new tab / type request / google search give me results using google account No.2 I can`t change it. If it`s possible - please advise how

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?

How can I use ECOSIA as my search engine? ECOSIA is a search engine that "plants trees." I'd like to support the environmental nature of it.

Hi, I can't seem to find an extension for this.

I have several custom search engines that I can use via shortcuts on the search bar, but I'm looking for a way to select text on a website, click the right button on it and select one of those engines in order to search that text.

I think Firefox was able to do it, but I'm only finding extensions that don't use FF's custom engines, I have to add the engines to the extension itself, manually, all over again, and that's a pain to keep synced.

Am I missing something here? Thank you.
