PLEASE HELP! I allowed Avast to do a "clean up" this week. That usually entailed a "scan" for viruses. NOT ANYMORE! My computer is really messed up! I just tried to delete Avast, and even though I hate to see ads, I think their Ad Blocker is messing up my PC. I just noticed that when I asked what I thought was FIREFOX a question, the answers were supplied by an entity called THLIOKNI. WTF is THAT?????? Seriously, what is happening to my relatively NEW PC--had to buy a new CPU in October of 2023. And I've always used Firefox. But WINDOWS 11 is the operating system on this PC, and it is NOT compatible with Firefox apparently! I'm an elderly woman and I cannot handle this stress! What I also noticed is that I read Substack writers and depend on them for accurate description of current political and social news, but now I can't access the "like" buttons on commentators. Is that a Substack issue (I don't think so!), or is it something to do with the Avast "clean up?" WHAT ON EARTH IS THLIOKNI and how the hell did that get on my computer? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP! And I sincerely hope a REAL PERSON reads this! I do not want a million responses from other readers at other times, I want to hear from a REAL PERSON! You have my e-mail address. Catherine O'Kelly

Doing any search brings up result page that just has my query and a search magnifying glass - not the search results as expected and working on Mac.

This is 2 days old only as of 11 June 25.

Crying here as I depend on it sooo much; this is a work PC and DDG is my go-to for research.

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

Very annoying!

where is the new search icon...i don't see it on/near the address bar on my firefox browser.....u say the new icon allows the user to choose which search engine to use but where is the icon?

How do I report the issue of being unable to remove a URL from autocomplete?

When I start typing the URL, it shows up like the following image with a globe icon and "Visit" text, but there is no "..." button to remove the suggestion like there is on other suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox#w_url-autocomplete

This is really annoying because a site I visit a lot changed from .com to .org without redirecting the old to the new.

How do I get rid of this? Everytime I try to search for something in Firefox, I get an error message and this website comes up: retrorevivesearch.com. I gather this is a malicious search engine - how do I get rid of it?

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.

Bonjour, ce matin 2 juin 2025 j'ai vu qu'il était possible de faire des recherches en changeant uniquement le moteur de recherche qui figure sur une liste. Mais je suis incapable de trouver la page de Mozilla Firefox qui s'est ouverte en premier AVEC MA CONNEXION INTERNET CE MATIN COMMENT PUIS6JE RETROUVER CETTE PAGE ? Cordialement Dominique

After I upgraded to v137 and now on v138 I do not have the new search enhancements made to the address bar. Only a new profile will get me the enhancements. I'd rather not have to create a new profile and add all my changes and add-ons all over again. It's a real PITA. Is there any 'trick' I can try to get the new enhancements?

How can I delete search history? I have a few misspelled searches and similar old stuff that pops up in the address bar when I type in a new search.

I have tried several things:

• Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear data → Selecting and marking everything but with no effect whatsoever
• Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Firefox will never remember history + Clear history as mentioned above
• Settings → Search → Search suggestions → everything disabled
• Settings → Search → Address bar → everything but Bookmarks have been disabled
• Deleted my old Firefox account and created a new so I can still sync between 2 computers

Example: Previously I used www.adobe.com but now I use www.adobe.dk. But everytime I enter adobe in the address bar, Firefox keeps suggesting (autofill) adobe.com instead adobe.dk.

Any suggestions how to clear/delete the browser/search history so I can get a fresh start?

Hello! I would like to change my searches from yahoo to google, it wasn´t like this before but apparently now if i want to search something i would get the answers from yahoo

Hi!

My default search engine has always been Firefox for years. Since the last Firefox update, when I select + and get to a New Tab, the search engine changes to Google.

I am on Windows 10. I want the New Tab to stay with Firefox. Any tips?

Thank you for your help! TS

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.
