How do I get rid of this? Everytime I try to search for something in Firefox, I get an error message and this website comes up: retrorevivesearch.com. I gather this is a malicious search engine - how do I get rid of it?

Hello, I recently found Ecosia search to be force-installed in firefox, and after much digging I found this to be because of a new collab between them and mozilla. However, I HATE when things gets forced upon you, its the only reason I have stuck with firefox this long.

I cant seem to find a way to remove this search option from my providers list, please instruct me on how to do this, cause if I cant, I will unfortunately have to drop firefox as my browser.

//Kind regards

I have disabled all the other search settings in order to get rid of this field years ago. Now, suddenly it starts to show up again. I go to the settings, somehow it has all renabled itself, so I disable it. And yet, it STILL shows up with no content in it. How do I remove this?

Why do searches default my home location to Northern Utah, when I live in Central Utah? How can I get Firefox to use my actual home location as my default location for queries.

Bonjour, ce matin 2 juin 2025 j'ai vu qu'il était possible de faire des recherches en changeant uniquement le moteur de recherche qui figure sur une liste. Mais je suis incapable de trouver la page de Mozilla Firefox qui s'est ouverte en premier AVEC MA CONNEXION INTERNET CE MATIN COMMENT PUIS6JE RETROUVER CETTE PAGE ? Cordialement Dominique

I have selected Duck Duck Go as my default search engine in the settings for Firefox. But when I open my Firefox browser it shows the MS Bing homepage and NO drop down box for other search engines. How can I fix this? This is an initial installation of Firefox on a new Acer Aspire computer running Windows 11.

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)

Bonjour, lorsque je tape un mot dans la barre de recherche, le moteur de recherche google (qui est definit comme moteur de recherche par default) m'affiche les sites qu'il a trouvé, et de suite après, la recherche se relance automatiquement avec une adresse https://eesrchrdr.com/... avant de basculer sur http://fr.search.yahoo.com/... et m'affiche les recherche effectué par yahoo. Je ne comprend pas pourquoi le moteur de recherche google qui est selectionné dans les parametres se fait automatiquement remplacer par yahoo.

Hello, When I type a word in the search bar, the Google search engine (which is set as the default search engine) shows me the sites it found, and immediately afterward, the search automatically restarts with the address https://eesrchrdr.com/... before switching to http://fr.search.yahoo.com/... and shows me the searches performed by Yahoo. I don't understand why the Google search engine selected in the settings is automatically replaced by Yahoo.

Hello: FF 140.b9 64b w11p. Are there ANY search engines (not nec browsers, just want to do a search in the address bar or search field) that do NOT go to an AI site to search? I want to minimize my use of AI technology, which uses extremely environmentally costly data farms. Thank you.

Hey all!

I was just wondering why when you were platforming as one of the only browsers that didn't use AI, a CEO change-over was enough to completely backtrack on the values of the company to instead push for a use of AI. As a concerned adult I'm no longer able to verify accurate information in my searches because the first things to come up are AI inventions of information, not the actual websites that people put time and effort into running to ensure we get as close to human information as possible.

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.

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 do not want to search from the address bar. The search bar is what I want to go to but invariably goes to the address bar. Is there an about:config setting to change this?

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..

I am having an issue where my browser does not show the webpage title or website name when it returns results. I haven't changed anything about my browser recently and I'm really unsure of what is going on. Any advice to fix this would be appreciated.
