Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

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?

Hello! I just noticed that when I type a keyword related to one of my bookmarks into the address bar, Firefox suggests the bookmark to me—and also, my pi-hole query log shows queries being sent to that domain, even if I don't visit the site.

Is this normal? I'm confused as to whether I should have expected this. I had assumed everything related to bookmarks was stored locally. What information is being sent and requested when this happens? It feels like it could be a potential privacy issue to me, but hopefully I am misunderstanding something!

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.

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!

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.)

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.

I think I will just permanently turn off automatic updates because Firefox suggest has just turned itself on again. I want to retain my search and form filling history like I always do but not have it automatically appearing when I am searching something in the search bar. this is a matter of privacy and Firefox still makes the same mistake over and over again. I can't get an IT job but this guy who keeps making the same mistake every time, angering millions of users every update still gets to keep his??? And the most hurtful thing is, we cant even talk to the people who make it directly to tell them they are messing up, I am speaking to a guy who has nothing with making the damn thing, who is probably just going to tell me to delete everything, which defeats the purpose of keeping history on.

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.

Somehow AP (news) has started showing up in the firefox menu bar. I'd like to delete it since I don't use it. It's not in my settings under search, nor can I just delete it by right clicking the menu bar. Can you help? Thanks, Stephanie

Hi, since the new update the shortcuts/search buttons on the smaller search box (desktop, windows) are gone, and I can't figure out how to get them back, nor can I find anyone asking about the same issue so far. It's happened on every device that's gotten the update. I added a screenshot so you know what I mean. There were always shortcut buttons under the textbox, so I can quickly search in google maps or wikipedia etc. but now there's only the dropdown menu. on the left. I used those buttons a lot so I definitely want those back! Thanks

In that ip address bar, when you click in it there is a dropdown menu. It used to have all those sites that I look at every day. Recently is has added some others which I almost never go to and has dropped some that I go to every day. Like I went to the national do not call registry to register my phone number. I only went there once, and that was a few weeks ago but for some reason it keeps that one in that menu, at the expense of my regulars. There are a few more like that. there are now 3 like that, things that I have only gone to once, but there they are apparently permanently. How do I remove those I don't want so that it has apace for those I do want?

trending searches won't remove i have toggled off autocompleat with trending searches i have come to the stage to leave firefox reluctantly they are doing my head in

Dear Community,

the userChrome.css I used to use to disable the search bar expansion on focus no longer works (http://userchrome.wesleybranton.com/megabar). I disabled all urlbar.search options in about:config. But Firefox still gives me suggestions when I start typing about (as in about:config).

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is set to true. The userChrome.css is inside the chrome folder inside the profile directory. I'm on 140.3.1esr (64-bit).

How do I disable this for good?

Thanks in advance!
