The address bar always autofills one website I visited years ago when I type the letter d. This prevents me from immediately going to a website I use every day, and annoys me greatly. Nothing I've tried changes this behavior: resetting Firefox does not remove this recommended site, using "forget about this site" does not change it, deleting it from the recommended addresses does not change it. The site in question is a blog that hasn't posted in years from which I read one article, I have no idea how it became permanently affixed to my Firefox profile's autofill. If I log in on a different computer, same behavior.

Normally when I'm using Firefox I can type just "t" in the address bar to give me a full link to Twitter and I just press enter to go to it. After the most recent update, that no longer seems to work? Instead it is just giving me the suggestions of whatever I typed before with a google search option.

So the situation is basically this: Firefox 159.0 (64-bit), Windows. Address-bar URL autofill stopped after updating. browser.urlbar.autoFill is true. Browsing history and bookmark suggestions are enabled. Existing bookmarks and history remain accessible. Typing a bookmarked domain such as "twitch" produces search suggestions instead of the bookmark https://www.twitch.tv/directory/following

Any help?

First off all I thought thenwhole idea was not to have windows etc. I used only duck duck go earlier and they never asked me or suggested to use bing/ google/ chrome whatever. That’s why I have an iPhone. So I don’t have to deal with that’s shit

Don't know where it should be. But here is the issue: I check my personal email often, so I used to open Firefox, click the address bar, and my Outlook would be at the top. Now, for whatever reason, Firefox tries very hard to make that disappear, even though that is my most-used website. First, it'll drop a few places in drop-down, then some more, and then disappear. To bring it back, I'll have to delete unwanted links (the ones I open like once a month!) from history, and after quite a bit of work, Outlook will be back. Then rinse and repeat.....How can I fix this?

Firefox is still suggesting alternative websites when I type in the search bar despite the fact that I only have the bookmarks suggestion enabled.

You can see in the uploaded screenshots that when I typed "FFXIV," the search bar brought up a page that is *not* a bookmark and is some random site I've never been to. My settings are set for only my bookmarks - or so I thought. What am I missing here? Is there another setting I need to disable?

How do I turn off yet another anti-privacy feature sponsored by Google Tracking(tm)??? The d* check-box is grayed out; the 'Manage Firefox Suggest' redirects back to the grayed out option. Know your audience.

How can I remove CoPilot from my FireFox browsing? Microsoft recently installed Windows 11 Pro on top of my Windows 10 Pro. Now when I do a Firefox search, it's full of useless suggestions by CoPilot AI and I can't find the simple answer I'm looking for. When I can figure out how, I'll uninstall CoPilot. Meantime, I just want Firefox search to work the way it used to.

Is it just me or is this a Firefox on Mac thing? Whenever I type in a search box on a website like Google or YouTube or whatever and the suggestions pop up, I have to click twice to actually select one. First click does nothing and second click finally works. Same exact sites on Chrome or Brave Origin and one click works right away.

It happens almost everywhere. It is super annoying once you notice it. Is there a setting for this or is it just how Firefox handles things on macOS?

This issue occurs specifically with Japanese text input. I don’t know whether it also happens with other languages.

Currently, when I type in the address bar, autocomplete activates and prevents me from typing correctly. Specifically:

• When suggestions are displayed and I type a vowel, the preceding consonant gets entered twice. • If I dismiss the suggestion list, I’m no longer able to perform text conversion (henkan).

Even after adjusting all the address bar suggestion settings, bookmark suggestions and this support site’s address still get autocompleted. Please allow me to configure a setting that disables all autocompletion in the address bar, including these.

what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

How do I remove "add sitename"* from Search bar drop-down menu?

• sitename refers to whatever site you are on at the time

I have no use for this option and find it overly invasive. I have searched everywhere for solutions and have not found any that work. If it is not currently "removable", please make it so.

Thanks

I am in the UK. I happen to have used amazon UK enough recently that it gets into the top-8 history in the address bar on a new tab.

And then the Amazon sponsorship – which is turned off in settings – corrupts it and "normalises" it to reference amazon.com. Screenshot attached with the misalignment highlighted.

Of what possible use is it to surface a top recently-used site when the address gets corrupted so it does not point to the site that has been used? This is idiotic.

Hint. When sponsored sites are turned off, respect that choice. Do not allow them to corrupt the experience. And even if it weren't a corruption introduced at Amazon's behest, domain normalisation is absurd when the site in question is geographically distinct. There is no possible excuse for it.

So when I start to type `dis` in the URL bar to bring up Discord (yes, I use the Web version), I've started to see `Manage AI Controls`. This makes no sense to me. I have all those set to block. And `dis` doesn't appear at all anywhere in that setting title. Yet when I start typing in `ai`, that setting doesn't come up.

Something is fishy here.

This is v154.0.1 on Debian/Testing, from Mozilla repository.

In some multi-line text fields:

• when I begin typing, a menu drops down or pops up.

Each menu option is a previously-typed phrase, not necessarily recent.

Is this a hidden feature of Firefox?

It's very recently evident with at least three websites:

• old Reddit, pictured at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117120940452711262
• Mastodon, pictured here and at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117124332180878790
• here – support.mozilla.org – when I began typing.

Reproducible with multiple Firefox profiles. Also evident with Firefox in safe mode.

Not evident with Microsoft Edge.

At a glance, I don't see anything relevant in release notes – https://www.firefox.com/en-GB/firefox/154.0/releasenotes/

It's possible that the feature was inadvertently enabled in response to an unknown combination of keys (shortcuts) as described in Mastodon.
