I want to preempt certain websites with my search. I am using Firefox with DuckDuckGo browser. Can I do this? Example: Searching for electronic stores but not BestBuy, Amazon, Walmart, etc.

I used to be able to make my own settings in Bing, but since the last update my settings are no longer stored. Each time I change them, when I open a new tab the BIng defaults are used. How do I get Firefox to accept my Bing preferences?

When searching on the internet, after entering the search name and hitting enter. The search results are on a Yahoo search page. I can't find any malware, extension, add-on that is associated with Yahoo. I did see a log that was in red that was associated with a website I attempted to convert a png file to a ico file. However, after downloading the software it was for converting PDF's to images. so I uninstalled it. it was after that Yahoo showed up. That log in web history was associated with the software.

Dear team, we have identified a regression in the latest update. On any page, pressing any character on the keyboard triggers the 'Find in Page' functionality, with the pressed character being entered into the search field. This is causing a significant usability problem.

Firefox 128.9.0ers how do I stop searching in the address bar? When I go to google.com and try to search in the search bar, it moves to the address bar instead. I don't want to search there.

I have disabled all the other search settings in order to get rid of this field years ago. Now, suddenly it starts to show up again. I go to the settings, somehow it has all renabled itself, so I disable it. And yet, it STILL shows up with no content in it. How do I remove this?

Hi Folks:

For desktop Firefox.

Until a couple of weeks ago I could have a search bar next to the address bar.

This allowed me to enter a search request and then see the search result's page with the page's address in the address bar.

If I wanted to repeat the search, or modify the search, the search request would still be in the search bar.

Now I only have the address bar. If the page found by the search isn't what I want I need to re-type the search into the address bar where it will be overwritten by the address of the result of the search.

That can be inconvenient.

I no longer see the option for a separate search bar in Firefox's search settings.

Am I the only person who misses this feature?

Is the separate search bar available if I know how to ask for it?

Thanks Larry

I would like to see default search engine by Container. For example I'm not logged into whatever engine (Bing for example) in the Banking container and would rather have ddg as the search engine when working in Banking.

“why is google search and search bar not working in firefox”

When the above search is entered into the google search box the following url reference populates the url line but does not resolve to a the search results. Sometimes the tab gets frozen and hitting enter does nothing. Sometimes hitting enter will cause the url to resolve to the search results.

Further whenever a link is clicked in gmail it opens another tab with the following url but does not resolve to the search results and tab is frozen

following url:

“https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=why+is+google+search+not+working+in+firefox”

Tried both above issues on Chrome and no problem. Have rebooted pc. Running Win 11

I'm running 137.0 ver of Firefox, so the latest one. I've got an issue I don't know how to deal with. I always had set up that my address bar was also my search. So I could do both just from address bar. But one day, without me going to settings and changing this, it stopped working. I had to add separate search bar to my browser to open new webpages(previously I set up to open search results within an address bar, in the new tab). Now whenever I even open new blank tab and type URL in the address bar, it does nothing. It doesn't even go to typed URL. I have to search for it in the search bar, then it displays required website. It happened overnight. One day I just turned off my PC for the night, next day when I swiched it on, it was like that. What should I do now?
