Hi, Every time I search using Firefox (especially through the address bar or default search), SafeSearch is automatically enabled — even though I never turned it on and don’t want it. I’ve tried checking Firefox settings, search engine settings, and even my browser profile, but nothing seems to work.

I’m not sure if this is a browser setting, an issue with my account, or something being forced externally (like by Google or Bing).

Can someone tell me:

Why SafeSearch is always on?

How can I turn it off permanently?

Is this tied to Firefox itself or to the search engine provider?

Android on Galaxy S24 Ultra. Recently, swipe left or right has a tendency to engage a "pull down" causing the swipe action to reset / cancel because the app thinks I'm pulling down when I'm not.

I have been using Thunderbird for over a year without this issue. It just started happening today.

When I 1st open Firefox w my android cell, the "Jump Back In" appears & as I'm about to click it, icons above it populate (See attached pic), pushing "Jump Back In" down & making me click on some other icon. I've learned to wait a few seconds before clicking my "Jump Back In" selection, which is what I do 99% of the time. You should always populate the placeholders for those icons, or anything that will shift things down, to avoid this.

I'm using collections in my home page. Great feature, except it's SO EASY to delete something by mistake! There's no Undo, no way to restore what was deleted... It there a way to add more friction for deleting something from there? (An Undo button would also be great but I guess that's more a feature request)

Firefox Android does not clear cookies when deleting browsing data

I'm using Firefox on Android and I'm having trouble clearing cookies in the following situations:

- When browsing in private mode, after closing all my private tabs and closing Firefox - When browsing in private mode and turning on 'Delete Browsing Data on quit', and quitting by pressing the quit button - When browsing in private mode and manually clearing cookies with 'Delete Browsing Data's

I know cookies haven't been cleared because I'm still logged in to websites in private mode after performing the above actions and restarting Firefox. I need to close and restart Firefox multiple times before cookies are actually cleared.

I have not tried this in regular (non-private) mode.

Could I get help with clearing cookies consistently?

How to specify the character type when I want to use auto-generated password by Firefox

When changing the login password in Firefox, I can select the "Use strong password" option, but the password automatically generated by Firefox will use characters that cannot be used as password (such as symbols), and the system will not accept the "new" password generated by Firefox, so the Firefox's automatic password generation will be wasted. There are very few sites that embed allowed character types as a password on password changing page, so is it possible to manually specify the character type or re-edit the generated password?
