Every time I type in "Blue.." to get to Bluesky social, I get an entry at the top "blue marble creative."

I'm unable to delete this autosuggest. It does not have 3 dots next to it like all the other entries do. Does this mean it's an add? If so, how can I prevent it from coming up?

I have never visited the link.

Completely bizarre behavior that I cannot explain or find any google matches for. When I enter a search term in Mail, I don't even have to hit enter, it shows up in Firefox's search field as soon as I make Firefox the active application (iMac desktop). It happens if I have the Firefox search bar open, or if I open it (Cmd-F) afterwards. It happens in Private Browsing. E.g. if I clear the Firefox field, go to Mail, type some letters into the search field, as soon as Firefox becomes the active window, the search term is populated.

I will entertain any explanation or suggestion, whether based in reality or not. FWIW I'm running Malwarebytes unpaid version so I have some sorta protection. For FF extensions I have Ublock origin, FB Purity, and FB container. I tried turning them off; no change. I didn't try restarting FF after turning them off though, too many tabs needed right now.

thanks, jim

Reloading existing tabs or entering full URLs works. Toggling "Work Offline" on and off does not fix the problem and the only workaround is restarting Firefox.

This is triggered by laptop doing sleep/wake transitions so I strongly suspect this is related to Firefox online/offline detection.

How can I hide "Firefox Suggestion" lists in the address bar without disabling auto completion?

Hi friends.

As shown in the image, if I enable "Address Bar - (suggest) Browsing history" option at about:preferences#search page, bunch of subordinate pages are displayed, which is barely useful, in my opinion.

I want to hide them, but I want to keep the auto completion functioning. For instance: I want my Firefox to complete https://youtube.com/ with only typing y, but don't want to see those 'Firefox Suggestion' pages.

Is it possible to set it this way? Or I can't just have it both ways? Please let me know.

(Thanks in advance, and responses in easy English will be much appreciated; I'm a beginner in English.)

Why is it when I want to go to a different website, such as youtube.com or google.com, the bar will autofill because I've been to those websites multiple times. But after going to spotify.com numerous times, the autofill never shows up and I have to manually type in the whole "spotify.com" because the web search bar thinks I've never been there before. Why is that and can I fix it?

Hi,

I have problem when using keywords to open bookmarks. I enter the keyword for the bookmark and the bookmark is found and appears in the dropdown from the address bar. But a few miliseconds later, the bookmark found disappears and the is instead replaced with either "Search with Google" for the keyword or just another URL.

See images for the created bookmark and what it looks like. Here I enter go. Then it shows if I want to go to Google.com, but if I then hit backspace to delete the autofilled URL, it shows the found bookmark.

Usually I navigate Firefox by clicking the address bar to go to sites I've visited before. Before the update I used to have about 10 sites/rows of suggestions that I could go to and the recent update has forced it down to 5 and I cannot increase them.

I've tried going into about:config but that doesn't work. Only five suggestions when I click the address bar. I want 10!
