Dear community,

in the settings I set Google as default search engine. Yet, every once in a while, when I search in the URL field, it searches via Bing, and when I check the settings, it - for whatever reason- has reset Bing as default search engine. I would prefer to get rid of it entirely, is there a may to completely "deinstall" that feature or something?

Best regards

The very first time I opened Firefox and tried to do a search I got a hijacker:

https://search-owl.com/?path=firefox/newtab&u=895622cd6e29c107&subid=11118&channel=18

Why?

I did a scan with both Malwarebytes and with TotalAV, no detections.

I stopped using Chrome and Brave because I had another hijacker (Yohoo!). I used Malwarebytes to quarantine and delete that because my paid subscription to TotalAV didn't find it. Now I'm stuck with an all new different hijacker upon installation of Firefox.

How do I rid myself of Searchpulse.net?

I'm thinking I need to delete Firefox and start over. Will that work?

I'm resetting my default browser until I've resolved this issue.

I'm having real problems with the pop up "find text" box that appears at the bottom of my Macbook Pro when I try to enter data on web pages since I updated Firefox a few weeks ago. I can find articles on disabling this feature for PCs, but nothing for Macs. Please help !

Using latest Firefox browser, when I open Google and want to ‘paste’ a word, it will not let me. Instead I get this default message, that I can’t delete. I can type anything I want, but I can’t ‘paste’ a word or words. How to fix please? HP desktop PC Windows 11 64 bit I see there is a 'new' (to me) AI mode icon in the 'same' search window as where you type on the 'right' of the search box. Maybe I just haven't noticed because I didn't have an issue before.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I used to be able to ask a question on Firefox and get an answer. Now when I ask for information all I get is advertisements pertaining to the question I am asking.

Hello,

I want to use Startpage.com as my search engine in Firefox for Linux Mint. How do I do that?

Best regards,

I wanted to set keywords for search engines (in order to quickly change them for a single query). This cannot be done for search engines by default (why?), so I had to delete them and create a new one with the same link and my own keywords. But now I can't give them the same name back, firefox says that such a search engine already exists. In general, it doesn't matter to me which letter is there. The main purpose of my appeal is to draw attention to the fact that search engines cannot be edited by default, because it is quite inconvenient. Thanks for the answer (I apologize in advance if I made a grammatical mistake somewhere, I used a translator) My OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; firefox version: 145.0.2 (64-bit)

Hello. I searched a solution for some time now, how to remove any typing of a search in google for instance, to be displayed in url bar. I read some articles with words I don't understand, like userchromecss or whatever : I do not work in computer science or anything about it. I would like some well defined user friendly options or just don't mix two different things that will alter our experience using your product. Could you just correct the search procedure so url is url, and query is query? I would love this to be corrected. Search queries on the page, and internet addresses in url bar. Thank you.

bold text When tring to open a know web site this https://orbitsearchonline.com always says it cannot verify as a secure site or something close to that. I think this is a tracker.

I still have windows 8.1. I do all my bill paying online. I can no longer open my banks website for online business. I thought Firefox had renewed support through 2026? Wasnt Firefox a search engine? The listed search s - none of them open banks etc.
