Hello, I would like to add the Perplexity.ai search engine as my default search. Is there a way to do that? I don't see it listed on the search engine pull-down menu. Thanks.

I added the duckduckgo extension and gave it the required permissions, but despite it saying that it set duckduckgo as the default search engine, it hadn't even showed up on the list at all. I tried removing and adding back the extension, but that didn't work either.

For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

In what file does Firefox store information about the icons of added search engines?

(After copying the profile with the search.json.mozlz4 file, search engines added by the user work correctly, but their icons cannot be seen - each search engine is marked with the same icon 'magnifier' - as you can see in the attachment.)

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 always use google as my default search engine for firefox. I recently got a message saying firefox had been updated. Ever since, whenever I search for something it keeps using yahoo as the default search engine instead of google. I checked the settings and google IS selected as the default search engine. The weird thing is, if I set the default search engine to something like ebay or wikipedia it will use that correctly. It's just that when google is selected it goes to yahoo instead. I appreciate any help, thank you.

how do you get your search typing on the main firefox address/search bar in the middle of the page, as well as the small google search bar at the top of the page please?

Duck Duck Go search from the address bar suddenly does not work. All queries return a page with the search box and no results. Google search functions correctly. Additionally, the search function on Yahoo Finance no longer functions. Both of these websites and functions work on a mobile version of Firefox connected to the same wifi. At first I had no idea what was causing it but after using troubleshooting mode and turning on extensions one at a time it turns out that metamask was causing the error.

Why do searches only show results from liberal news outlets? This is the case no matter which search engine I choose.

I can go many pages into search results and not see any results from conservative new sources such as Newsmax. And yet, if I put Newmax in the search I get their results. But why do I have to search that way. And more importantly, why do general searches ONLY SHOW LIBERAL NEWS results?

Here is an example from today's news that "Lester Holt stepping down" from NBC News.

A search of "Lester Holt stepping down" shows: NBC news, AP news, CNN, CBS, USA Today, NBC, Politico, New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, People, Yahoo, and on. But NO conservative news outlets. And just to be clear, Fox News comes up sometimes (down several pages), but many things they report show me that they often don't show conservative viewpoints--which changed a couple years ago, with management changes.

I really want an answer to this question. The Liberal News BIAS is disgusting and needs to be stopped!

While I know that I can change the Search engine (currently set to DuckDuckGo), the problem is that they all generally show the same results. Just like they all rely on Google for their information.

Hello: FF 140.b9 64b w11p. Are there ANY search engines (not nec browsers, just want to do a search in the address bar or search field) that do NOT go to an AI site to search? I want to minimize my use of AI technology, which uses extremely environmentally costly data farms. Thank you.

I have used Firefox for years and when searching then Google was automatically the default. The last month or 2 when I am using search, it is defaulting to Yahoo. Why did this happen and how do I change it back to defaulting to Google? Thank you.
