Komunitné fórum Firefox pre Android

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

I have downloaded Firefox for my default web browser. However I do not have a search bar unless I open up the app itself. How do I get a search bar without having to go through the app every time? Thank you for your help.

yes, althouth i have mozilla firefox as the default in my T moblile adroid.main settings, but when i click on mozilla app and do a search, default in address bar is Google?. do you have URL path so I can add it to the list.( e.g. we have Google Bing, Duck, Perplexity, etc, but No Mozilla Firefox to select). thank you

After much searching and guesswork, I've finally worked out that the "cross in a box" icon on the Firefox android search bar is to allow qr codes to be scanned. Maybe you could add a tool-tip for these more obscure icons?

Yes what is the official URL search link to add yahoo search engine so i can add yahoo search to my search url in the settings on my android phone. Thanks Graham

I have a strange problem when searching for stuff on the internet. (Using google if it matters)

First search I type something like cars. I press enter. I get cars.

Second search I type black cars. I press enter. I get cars again and in the search result it shows i searched cars.

I type black cars again. I press enter. I get black cars, search finally says I searched black cars.

I refresh. I get cars again and the search shows I only searched cars.

Every time I wanna search something I need to open up a new tab or I run into this issue and it's driving me insane. I have no idea where to even start with troubleshooting this problem, it's so strange.

The issue is, whether I am searching via the address bar or using the search bar while using google (my main search engine) the app seems to be glitch ingredient when I hit enter. Most of the time now, I be pushed back to the previous page or the page before that and the search terms I entered into either field has been deleted. This is probably not a big deal and a minor inconvenience for some. But for me this is a problem because I have adhd and I have literally forgotten what I was trying to search because I was distracted by the information that shows up because the app pushes me back to a previous page.

At first this started about 2 weeks ago but only happened once or twice. Now, the frequency of this occurring is well over 2/3rds of the time. I explained this in a Google play review but it seems that you just have a standard auto reply there.

I will try a different search engine for the time being but I feel that it's more of an app problem than a search engine problem because if I just search in a new tab with no history, the tab seems to want to go to almost previous page but the search field just deletes what I am searching for and acts as if nothing has been done.

Please fix this issue. Besides being annoying, it's very difficult to keep tract of what i am trying to search for.

Thank you
