When doing a search in the address bar (on firefox android), and then going back to the search result, one cannot modify easily the entered text.

Example: - In address bar (independent of the engine search) enter these keywords: "firefox search bar" - In the result list, click on any link. - Then go back to modify your search, you get:

https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=firefox%20search%20bar&p=1

Whish is a painful to change or just add an extra keyword!

Moderator note: Moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

I am getting a lot of phishing emails. They all come from email addresses from "onmicrosoft.com". These I can find pretty easy. The other thing they have in common is this URL/'server name' in the Message Header "send.workwithshadow.com".

Is there a way to search and/or filter for text in the Message Header?

Thanks, Walter Cook

Something wrong it's happening since the last update. When typing a word in the Google search bar it adds random letters. For example if I'm trying to type Mozi(lla) I get "mozizo". My keyboard is working fine with other apps, I switched to another keyboard and the glitch persists

Before the last update to TB I could easily search for a single email address messages in inbox, now all I can do is organize senders alphabetically

I'd like to be able to search for a single email address in TB's inbox. Often I just need to find one email from an email address. I don't need or want to do a "saved search" I just want to reread a specific email from a specific sender. I believe I'm using the classic layout. I've looked through settings, layout, but can't find a way to do that. When I looked through the help articles, etc, all that came up w/saved search. Before one of the latest updates, I could just type in the sender's name or email address, look through all of them, then restore the inbox to list all emails by date. I'd like to be able to restore that function, is there a way to do that?

Searching by domain - issue?

I have some emails from BT (e.g. no-reply@inform.bt.com, BT@updates.bt.com, hello@message.bt.com)

When I search (using the bar at the top) for:

- "bt", it returns no results ("No messages match your search) - "message.bt.com", it returns the relevant results - "bt.com", it seems to return anything with ".com" in it (which is lots of things, my computer doesn't like this situation)

Is this a bug (or multiple bugs)?

I was wondering if there is a way to easily copy a saved search from one parent folder to another. I have searches I use to c apture emails for tax purposes. I use dates, subject lines, etc. to capture these emails and I have almost a dozen per tax year. It would be nice to copy my 2025 saved searches to my 2026 folder, and then just edit the dates as needed to capture the correct year. Thanks for any help you can provide.

How to prevent Thunderbird message search (ctrl+F) from continuing from the top?

How I could terminate the search when it has reached the end of the e-mail, and not just tell me "reached end of page, continued from top", a message that is so obscure and — if the window is quite narrow — will not even show.

Why I cannot select to get a pop-up note telling me I've reached the end of e-mail and ask if I would like to continue from top?

Every time I try to use the firefox search bar it redirects to my google search bar. I downloaded firefox because I was tired of Google and wanted something different. Is there not a firefox search bar or am I doing something wrong?

This is an older iMac. I already use Firefox on "my" side, which is most of the time. I hardly ever use "his" side, but I need to use it to register something under his email. Apple no longer updates our Safari as it's too old; therefore I NEED to use another browser to stay safe. I downloaded Firefox tonight for "his" side--and now I can't even go to the website I need WITHOUT going thru Google (whose nosiness I HATE). 1) SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? Second question: How do I get to his "Currently AT&T" Emails through Firefox?
