Hi,

In the search bar (I’m not sure about its official name), my previous searches used to appear as suggestions before Google’s own suggestions. However, since I changed my default search engine from Google US to Google UK, it no longer seems to remember the searches I make. I’ve tried switching back to Google US, but that didn’t restore the behavior. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

For example, I previously searched for “things to see in Latvia”, which is why it appears as a suggestion in the screenshot. But if I now search for “things to see in Louvre Museum” and then try the same search again a few hours or days later, it isn’t saved and therefore doesn’t appear as a suggestion.

Thank you!

"Magically" started working again for unknown reasons.

Up until this morning I could enter calculations in the search bar or the address bar and get an answer without hitting "Enter". Why has this stopped working?

FF 146.0.1 LM 21.3, Bitwarden, Ublock Origin and Dark Reader extensions active.

Edit: browser.urlbar.suggest.calculator is set to TRUE.

With the latest update, some of the shortcuts that appear when I click on the address bar have changed. Now several of them are for websites that I don't use on a regular basis. Is there any way to remove them? Is there any way to add back shortcuts for sites that I do use on a regular basis?

When searching from the search bar how do I make it to where YouTube doesn't come up as an option for when I'm looking for a video? How do I block YouTube from my search

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

I have a drop-down list on a website of things I regularly search for, but alas, some of them contain typos and I'd like to be able to re-order them. How can I do this on Firefox 146.0 (64 bit) under Linux?

AI is using my data and serving up slop from what it gathers. I'd like to keep as much AI slop out of my Firefox web browser as possible, is there information available on how to block AI features and results from my Firefox?

Whenever I type in "photo", Firefox has always autocompleted to photos.google.com. Today it's started autocompleting to photoquotes.com instead; a site I never use, and I don't know why Firefox is suggesting it.

I have followed SEVERAL guides for how to remove sites from autocomplete suggestions, and all of them give wrong advice.

I have gone to History/Manage History and 'Forget about this site'. That does not remove the site from autocomplete.

I have tried 'Hover over the entry to select it, then click delete'. This does not work. It only deletes the last character entered in the address bar.

I have tried 'Select the three-dot menu beside the suggestion and select Remove from history'. That is Not Possible with the top result in autocomplete, which appears above Firefox suggestions.

Could someone please tell me the CORRECT answer on how to remove specific websites from being suggested in autocomplete!?

The efficiency of this site has gone down since the introduction of some of these ai features which sucks because firefox was literally the only good browser for years. Like why am I using the app and modding the feature off myself. I know the chatbot it toggleable but it just shouldnt be a feature at all. Thats what the search bar is for! Stop putting slop in my stuff please.

I have lots of bookmarks saved and when I start typing the name of one I'd like it to appear first not after a lot of suggestions that I may or may not find useful.

Why is this not a simple option?

Search drop-down list has first Item with blue pushpin symbol next to it and the next item has a blue star symbol next to it. The rest do not have any symbols next to them. I'm using Windows 11, Firefox. and DuckDuckGo.

Google Search is pinned at the top of my Firefox Suggest list. (see the attached image)

Google Search is NOT my default search engine.

Where is this controlled/specified?

FF 145.0 Mint Linux/Cinnamon FF installed as system package not flatpack

Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

I found 'chromeasia.com' autocompleting in the Firefox address bar upon typing 'ch'. I searched History for this and there was no sign of it. I cleared all history data, rebooted, ran a disk cleanup and find that 'chromeasia.com' stil autocompletes upon typing 'ch' in the address bar.

Any suggestions or advice on how to clear this would be warmly appreciated. Thanks. Stephen

On latest nightly, starting about 24 hours ago, when I type things into the search bar I randomly get taken to a piece of my browser history instead of searching for the term in question.

If I hit back and then enter it repeats the behavior. If I hit back and prepend a ? then it relays the entire line with the ? included to my search engine.

I think there is an issue with the auto complete because it is not indicating that it is actually completing but that seems to be what is happening.

Maybe this is also related to the cursor lag I have seen lately in the search bar. You can be typing and it will display letter out of order or seemingly so until it catches up. Basically the cursor doesn't move in the search bar like it used to. That's been going on for over a month.

Firefox's Desktop application just gave me a desktop notification for"BootstrapBrain" on what the best web template for financial applications is. I've attached a screenshot. That is a site I've used in the past; I guess Mozilla is using my web history to suggest content :/

I don't like the usual "suggested content" i.e. when you open a new tab you see headlines and the weather, but this feels really different. i have never seen suggested content in this format before.

I really don't appreciate what appears to be an advertisement that was enabled by default. I'll comb through Firefox's settings now to turn this off. Just wanted to loudly voice my complaint first.
