I want to increase the drop down list to show more frequent URLs. Is there a setting that allows me to do it? I have looked and haven't found it. Also, Can I reduce the number of recent searches displayed on this panel. The recent change of adding them detracts from my usage of the drop down list.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

I use Copilot 365. Too often when i load the side bar, it will ask me if I want to log into my personal account or my work account (copilot 365). How can I set the work account as the default so I don't keep on getting that message? It seems like the side bar was designed for the personal copilot link which is why it keeps on asking me.

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

Please offer a REAL search engine!!!

Not this garbage paid content at the top of every search: Wokepedia, Snopes, msm fake new, etc.. People are figuring out how this content makes it to the top of EVERY search, and we're not BUYING IT!!! People are leave Google /YourCensored Tube owing to their censorship and pushing billionaire globalist narratives.

Companies like Rumble & X are the future! MAKE an open source, truly privacy minded search engine or PREPARE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Because people are asking for it everywhere, notably on X!!!

No more FAKE msm news stories. All the search engines offered on FireFox Suck! DuckDuck GO used to be good, but now it's like all the rest.

Yandex looks to be one of the better options right now, but people are asking Elon Musk to do a real search engine.

i have used mozilla for many years, i HATE google! last night 12/31/24 duckduckgo was my search engine, i stayed up until 1 or 2am on 1/1/2025 and watched several youtube videos (i had been watching them all day) and turned my computer off and went to bed. around 9am 1/1/2025 i got up and turned on my computer, clicked mozilla in my toolbar and started a search, I GOT GOOGLE RESULTS, SO HIT THE BACK ARROW AND NOTICED GOOGLE WAS MY SEARCH ENGINE!! DID YOU DO AN UPDATE OR ANYTHING TO CHANGE MY SEARCH ENGINE TO GOOGLE? i managed to download duckduckgo and make it my search engine again. BUT i NEED to know if this happened on YOUR END, or if GOOGLE did something. I HAD NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO MY COMPUTER ON 12/31/2024 OR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!

IF MOZILLA DID THIS , I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT IF IT WAS NEFARIOUSLY DONE BY GOOGLE, THEN IM PISSED!!! THANK YOU!

After manually deleting a link from my bookmarks, that unneeded link is still suggested in the address bar after the fact.

This is while using the Windows version of Firefox 140. In the Search > Address Bar — Firefox Suggest section of settings, I only have the Bookmarks option enabled. I've tried disabling History > Remember search and form history and enabling History > Clear history when Firefox closes options as well but still have the problem.

I'd really appreciate any advice.

When I find an internet site I want to share I go to file and share. It only gives me a choice of my comcast.net address and I want to share things via my aol [email]@aol.com address. Using my i-phone with a different browser to send videos I was given a choice of the two e-mails an chose aol an it works fine. One reason I don't like my comcast e-mail as when it comes to my apple i-mac it goes through something called Mail where I try an open it without signing into comcast and it is very slow to download. Apple blames comcast and comcast blames apple. Please help by writing to [email]@aol.com

I asked a question yesterday afternoon and left the tab open. This morning there was a response to my question. In attempting to implement the instructions, I inadvertently deleted the tab with the instructions. Now I cannot find it again. I have been through the list of questions both open and answered and cannot find my original post. I would assume that there is a way to search by my user name to find all my posts but I cannot find one.
