Recently updated from 148 to 152 and it has added these dropdowns to both the address and search bars (see below screenshot) that require additional clicks to get past that I do not want. Ideally I would not have these (or would maybe have the search drop down appear AFTER the search field itself).

Behavior I don't want: searches to appear in address bar. Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in address bar at all. I require a clear delineation in my workflow for things I have actually visited (addresses) and things I am planning to visit (searches). Behavior I don't want: search drop down to appear in search bar between address bar and search bar (one tab click should take me from address bar to search bar - now it takes two tab clicks because of this drop down).

Resolutions I have tried: Going to "Settings > Search Engine Suggestions" and completely unclicking "show search suggestions". Going to "about:config" and setting the following fields to false: browser.urlbar.suggest.searches keyword.enabled browser.fixup.alternate.enabled

None of these actually remove the dropdown entirely from either the address bar or search bar.

How do I remove these drop downs aside from downgrading back to 148?

When i go to type in something in google search it always wants to tell me the next words to type. How can i stop this because it messes me up when typing. Firefox is my default browser. PS: i have tried every thing that AI told me to do and nothing works at all. Thank You.

Firefox Android address bar shows spam-like URL suggestions when Bing is the default search engine and Chinese keywords are typed.

Conditions: - Only Firefox Android + Bing reproduces. - Other search engines do not reproduce. - Other browsers do not reproduce. - Network-independent. - Fresh Firefox profile still reproduces. - Clearing data / disabling suggestions did not resolve it.

Example keyword: 河南

Observed: Spam-like URL suggestions appear, including random .xyz/.cc/.cyou domains and escaped Unicode-looking strings.

Comparing with google chrome and firefox on android with bing search engine, chrome can detect the correct chinese word on search suggestion; while in firefox, bing search suggestion always show the unicode characters.

Recently Firefox was updated in Debian Linux now it is a pain Whenever I want to go to a website I get a lot of results almost all the time, see attachment the version now is 151.0.3 (aarch64) I ask some other group, I got never got help from one member just abuse, and screen shots that are wrong to my Firefox is.

Another person gave very good description, I was able to follow it and make a change, but it did not fix the problem

This started recently, maybe with a recent Firefox upgrade.

Normally, when you start typing in the Address Bar of a Firefox Window, a dropdown list of suggestions appears. Very helpful.

However, NOW, the dropdown list covers up the Address Bar so I can't see what I'm typing. I can still type, and what I type goes properly into the Address Bar, only I cannot see it. (See attached screensnatch.)

Do I have a switch in the wrong position, or is this a bug?

I'm on arch linux and sometimes my firefox search bar suggestions are just gone. When I type a web page that would be auto filled normally I don't get anything. This has happened to me a few days ago for the first time but I was able to restore the functionality by completely wiping my install, reinstalling, creating a new profile, disabling sync, restoring the old profile, enabling sync again and a few other steps I really don't remember anymore. This issue also does not allow me to save pages to my bookmarks anymore, no matter what I try. I really don't want to do the steps I listed above every few days so I just wanted to ask, what could possibly be the reason for this.

Hello,

I have noticed behavior in Firefox that seems inconsistent with my expectations of Private Browsing.

When I open a Private Browsing window and begin typing in the address bar/search bar, Firefox still shows my previously searched queries as suggestions. I am not signed in to any Firefox account, Google account, or other search engine account, so these suggestions appear to be coming from Firefox's locally stored search history.

I understand that Private Browsing prevents new history from being saved. However, I expected Private Browsing to also prevent existing search history from being displayed while using a private window.

Currently, I can disable address bar suggestions entirely, but that removes them from normal browsing as well. What I would like is:

• Search history suggestions available in normal browsing windows.
• Search history suggestions hidden in Private Browsing windows.
• Existing search history not exposed when using Private Browsing.

Is this current behavior intentional? If so, is there a setting, hidden preference, extension, or planned feature that allows Private Browsing windows to suppress history-based search suggestions while preserving them in regular browsing sessions?

For reference:

• Firefox version: 151.0.2 (64-bit)
• Operating system: Arch Linux

Thank you.

what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

As of the update that happened this morning, I can no longer use arrow keys to navigate to suggested results in the search bar, nor can I use the enter key to execute the search.

I've disabled all my extensions and restarted Firefox, which didn't help. I've restarted my PC, which didn't help. My work laptop is running 150.1 (with almost all the same extensions, running under the same Mozilla account) and everything works fine.

Additionally, several dropdowns have broken, which I have attached an image of. It's making debugging this very difficult!

Love Firefox by the way... So, autocomplete in the search bar is often helpful, don't get me wrong, but it redefines the delete/backspace key to be context-sensitive. Now, sometimes it does what I expect and backs up one, erasing the character I just typed. However when autocomplete ghost text is present, that same key removes the ghost text only, leaving the character I'm intending to remove. This is enormously inconvenient as I now must watch to see what autocomplete is doing and adjust my behavior to comply. Were I designing I would not make the delete key dual purpose context sensitive, instead I would do both at the same time! Delete what I just typed and remove the ghost text. Safari started this, I complained and of course got no response. Subsequently I noticed the same behavior in Firefox. My suggestion, request, is that search delete key behavior not be decided for me. Either make this Safari behavior a settings option, by default is OK, so that I can choose, or (my preference) delete both ghost and previous character with a single keystroke! Best regards and keep up the good work. Dave

This browser keeps doing this very annoying thing where it automatically pins recently visited commerce sites in a suggestions bar of a new tab's url. If I go delete the specific pinned page from my history, it will just grab a new page from the same website and pit that instead. For example, I recently visited chewy.com to purchase dog food. A page from Chewy became pinned in the dropdown for new tab urls. I deleted that page from my history. A different page from Chewy became pinned. This went on and on until I deleted *every single Chewy.com page from my history.* This is unwanted and frustrating behavior. Who does this help? I did my business on that website. I do not want to be told to go back and visit the site that wants my money. I know how to browse the internet. This is extremely annoying.

There are urls saved in my firefox which are not listed under "Manage Bookmarks". At least one is my own bookmark i already deleted. All others seem to be basically advertisement. Urls i never visited and don`t want suggested to me. I do not use a firefox account and my settings are set to only suggest my bookmarks in the url bar. How to remove this Garbage?

It used to be that when entering a search term in the search bar, you could use the arrow keys to select the search engine before pressing enter to make the experience entirely from the keyboard. Now, one must use the mouse to select the engine to be used. It also does not revert to the default search engine after executing the search.

I attempted to set *browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride* to false, and that did not work. I noticed that I had been involuntarily enrolled in an experimental study: Address Bar Update Rollout v1•rollout Address Bar Experience Update which may be the cause of this unwelcome behavior change. If exiting out of that study is possible to restore the previous functionality, please advise how to achieve this.

Please advise how to bring back this work flow efficiency.

(I am not referring to the address bar.)
