Forum Bashkësie Firefox për Android

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?

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.

While browsing on various websites, as I scroll down, suddenly the on screen keyboard appears and the cursor is on the website's search bar. it is very annoying, and even if I click out of it, it goes back to the search bar and the keyboard pops up again.

This happens on two tablets that I own, both android, Galaxy Tabs of different ages.

I can't figure out how to open an url like "http://fritz.box" or "192.168.178.10.1". Either Firefox starts a search or auto completes the address to "https://fritz.box". This address can not be resolved locally. If anyone happens to read this and could help me please, I just want to open the configuration page of my router. And I can't do it with Firefox for Android - so it seems. Thank you for your time!

When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

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.

So after upgrading to Android 15, Firefox does not respect the navigation bar background anymore (see image). This looks very... interesting. I have no screenshot from Android 14 but the black background just had the same color as the grey Firefox UI.

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?
