I want to use a search engine that keeps my browser searches private like DuckDuckGo. Firefox always make me use Google. Can I do that?

Every time I close Mozilla, my settings change from "Show Search Suggestions" on to off. I have no idea why it turns off automatically.

Context: I do have Betterfox installed which could be causing issues. If it is, what setting could I change?

The appearance of search suggestions changes to a bloated and verbose style whenever the window is not maximized.

Observed since update 135 (from 134). Also no custom userChrome.css file is used.

How to keep appreance consistent / compact / normal (in all window-sizes)?

Preferably without a custom userCrhome.css file. I looked through all results on urlbar.quicksuggest in about:config but couldn't figure out any helpful setting.

Why can't I choose a search engine that is not one of the top ones. Since the new administration took over the white house, so many large companies are moving to the far right. I just want to search outside of the main stream billionaire run systems. They aren't standing up for me I refuse to use their products.

Everytime i highlight a word and right click it to "search google for" it switches to that new tab. This only started happening for the past two weeks. I already changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground to true in the config.

Also noticed this does not happen in private mode, but it does happen in troubleshoot mode.

Is there any way to change that? Thanks

I have gone to "settings" and have changed the search engine to Duck DuckGo from Dogpile (after hearing some disturbing news about Dogpile). However, even after changing to DDGo and 'shutting down' (cold boot), my searches are still routed through Dogpile even though 'originating' in DDgo. How do I get rid of this 'flypaper' of an application? BTW, I am on Windows 10.

Google and Bing miss the first character of my search. When pressing search the results do not show any detail or urls. Firefox is up to date. Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. See Screenshots 3 and 4. They work correctly on other browsers. I suspect there's something in Settings, but I can't find it myself. Help! See Screenshots 1 and 2.

I always use google as my default search engine for firefox. I recently got a message saying firefox had been updated. Ever since, whenever I search for something it keeps using yahoo as the default search engine instead of google. I checked the settings and google IS selected as the default search engine. The weird thing is, if I set the default search engine to something like ebay or wikipedia it will use that correctly. It's just that when google is selected it goes to yahoo instead. I appreciate any help, thank you.

Hello,

I am hoping someone can kindly guide me about search bar settings. Right now, I have it set up so only google and duckduckgo are available and show up as options in the firefox search bar.

However, when I am on a youtube page, suddenly the search bar has a little green plus circle on the magnifying glass in the search bar, and then offers to "add search engine youtube" to my search engines.

How can I stop this from happening? It only seems to happen when I am on the youtube page, and I have adjusted settings multiple times but it continues to appear.

Thank you very much for your help and guidance.

Hi,

Firefox latest version, windows 10 up to date.

I experience various issues with Google services:

  • reCaptcha doesn't work: the challenge doesn't appear, or if by chance it does, it just runs forever.
  • Opening pages from the Google search page frequently fails. The page just stops loading on a white page. Reloading multiple times, or removing the Google search encapsulation from the url bar, solves the issue.
  • Accessing files on Drive frequently fails.

Evertyhing works fine 1. with any other browser; 2. with Firefox on a another PC.

I've tried, of course, changing all possible security/tracking options, disabling add-ons, &c, to no avail. I've tried to uninstall/reinstall Firefox - I need what is stored in my profile, so I copied back all of my profile files in the new profile folder. Same issue. I've tried using the newly installed default profile - same issue.

As stated, no issue at all with any other web browser. Can you help me diagnose?

Thank you!
