Firefox for Android Community Forum

I want Mozilla Firefox as a default search engine in my Firefox browser. But I am unable to do so. There is no option to make it as default search engine in the app. Please help me as soon as possible.

Hello there, currently it is impossible for Firefox on Android to disable the "Show search terms instead of URLs" setting that hides the URL when searching through the address bar with the default search engine. How may I disable this? I'd like to always be shown the full URL everywhere.

Greetings. I bought a new phone and downloaded the latest version of FF for Android. I use Private Browsing mode on both phines. This new version has the Search Suggestions from Boommarks and I don't like it. It's too distracting for me. My question: How do I turn it off? Thank you.

Hello.

I use Firefox Beta as browser. But I would like to add a search engine called OceanHero. Is that possible?

If yes. Can you help me to do that?

Don't cram unwanted "features" like trending searches. Anything I want to search for I type in. What others search for I do want to see or be bothered with. Your how-to does not work to disable it. I want my search window in the center, it is my phone, my eyes, don't fugg with it.

I appreciate your help and I want to thank you. But I just wanted to make it clear (in my mind), I have Firefox browser but it is not a search engine? I can/should & or need to use like Google or one of the other ones. Is this correct? I'm not very tech savvy. Oh, I wanted to let you know, I have my android phone S24 that I use, but I also have 2 laptops. One is an IOS 11 and the other one is an IOS 10. Does that make a difference?

Google is the only search engine I've selected for my Firefox Android browser. Often in the last month or so – after I type a search term into the omnibox at the top of my Firefox browser page – a "bing.com" results page opens. In fact, after I tried the words 'bing hijack' in this Mozilla Help page's own dedicated search box (NOT the browser's omnibox) another 'bing.com' page opened with search results This has happened in two different mobile devices that are synced to the same Firefox account. I do use the uBlock extension so I added the bing URL to the "My Filters" list, and my browser is always set for 'Strict' tracking protection. Is there any way to defeat this nonsense?

I can't find a way to move the navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen, where they shouldn't be, to the top of the screen. Tab selection should go back to the top, too. Am I just missing something? Can I do something in about:config?

Imagine always having access to navigation buttons at the top of the screen. You even downloaded an app that put system UI buttons at the top of the screen, too! It agrees with your rapidly aging joints because it's easier to have your hands closer to their default orientation.

Look at your hand right now. What orientation is it in? Did you look at the side of your pointer finger and your thumb? No. You likely looked at your palm. Furthermore, many blind people who use phones will type with accessibility features that often result in their hands being in the default orientation. The screens will be facing away and they'll use 6 or 8 fingers on the touchscreen to type.

Having navigation buttons at the top of the screen can be more accessible to some people because it is more compatible with the default orientation of the human hand. (Also disappointed that I can no longer put Gboard most of the way up the screen. But that's a problem that won't get fixed because Google is too big to have useful support and dev teams)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. The support website dumped me here.

Ummm don't forget to uhh [generic advice here] because it's good for stuff and things :)

First Of All, Thank you for such a wonderful Browser. I have been using Firefox Mobile for a while now. Everything is perfect for my needs. Except for one thing.

Less Number Of Search Suggestions.

Firefox Mobile shows less number of search suggestions. So, I tried to check in Firefox Focus. I used Google as my Only Search Engine in both Firefox Mobile and Firefox Focus. I have enabled every search suggestions settings in both. While searching for anything in search bar, Firefox Mobile shows only 3 suggestions for my search whereas Firefox Focus shows 10 suggestions. Even Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly shows 3 Suggestions. This is stopping me from using Firefox Mobile. I can't switch to Firefox Focus as there is no support for Extensions.

If it's a mistake from my side, Please, Suggest Me, what do I need to do to get Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions in Firefox Mobile.

If it's an issue in Firefox Mobile, Please, Fix it as soon as possible.

I want Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions on Firefox Mobile. I wish to Donate to Firefox Mobile and continue my journey with it. Please, Help Me With This.

Your Humbly Firefox Lover.

I own an S23 and I'd like to know if there's a way to make the browser suggestions fit on the screen. I've added two images to help explain what's going on. The first image shows Firefox, where the suggestion doesn't fit on the screen, whereas on Brave, if the suggestion is too long, it adjusts to the space. Thanks.
