Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Environment

   • Firefox 153.0.1 (64-bit)
   • Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
   • Wayland session
   • Input method: IBus
   • Keyboard layouts:
       ◦ US
       ◦ Bulgarian (bg+bekl)
   • Graphics:
       ◦ AMD Radeon Graphics (renoir)
       ◦ WebRender (Software)

Summary When typing a multi-word search query in Bulgarian into the center search field on the Firefox New Tab page (about:newtab), the first word disappears immediately after pressing the Space key. The issue occurs only in the in-page search field. Typing exactly the same text in the Firefox address bar works correctly. Steps to reproduce

   1. Open a new tab (about:newtab).
   2. Click inside the center search field.
   3. Switch to the Bulgarian keyboard layout.
   4. Type the first word, for example:   български
   5. Press the Space key.

Actual result The first word disappears completely. The search field becomes empty and the caret remains after one blank space. Typing continues normally from the second word onward. Interestingly, pressing Ctrl+Z immediately restores the missing first word, indicating that Firefox performs an undoable edit operation rather than simply ignoring the input. Expected result The first word should remain in the search field after pressing Space. Additional observations

   • The problem does not occur when typing in the Firefox address bar.
   • The problem does not occur on google.com or in other web page input fields.
   • The problem is reproducible in:
       ◦ Troubleshoot Mode
       ◦ a brand new Firefox profile
   • No third-party extensions are installed (only the built-in OpenH264 codec is present).
   • Setting

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSearch = false removes the in-page search field, therefore the issue disappears because the affected widget is no longer present.

   • Disabling

browser.search.suggest.enabled does not change the behaviour.

   • If the address bar already contains text before clicking into the New Tab search field, the issue may no longer reproduce. This suggests that the bug could be related to focus handling or interaction between the New Tab search widget and the address bar.

Reproducibility Always reproducible on this system. Notes The issue appears to be specific to the Firefox New Tab search widget (about:newtab) rather than to the operating system, keyboard layout, input method, or user profile. ____________________________________________________________ The text above was created following extensive discussion and numerous tests, in collaboration with ChatGPT.

Since dawn of times I'm using Firefox with a search box in the center of my Home page for new tabs and windows. It is the most important tool in my life as a web content manager. A few years ago my searches suddenly started to jump to the URL bar as soon as I started typing. An URL bar is - as the says - for URL's and it sits way at the top of my 27" and 32" screens, where my focus is not.

Luckily, this forum saved me with the about:config setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar > false to save my life.

A few months ago this was broken by 148.something. After about a month in hell that was repaired with a dot release. And now (151.0.3, Windows 11) it's broken again:

In normal mode it still works as expected, but the search box is not in the center anymore, it has been moved up to about 300 px from the top. Fixed, independent from window size !?! If you make the window small it moves out sight eventually.

In Private Windows it is still in the center vertically, but browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar > false does not seem to work there. As soon as I start typing it jumps to the address bar.

There are some articles that are biased with some real misinformation. One person has an experience and the author is purported to be an expert just because they have some degree with little or no relevance to real world people, just some niche group who would like to be considered mainstream. As much as I love the start page with some interesting articles, it seems most days lately, theories put forth as facts are out of touch with mainstream America.

I click on the website page and scan through things then close that website. Then I get on the search engine page an icon of that website I just looked through added onto the search page as an icon. I do not want this. I know how to add websites I frequently visit so its not that. It must be a setting somewhere in my Firefox settings. How do I switch this off?

Pretty simple. Every time I click any "news" link on my home page in Firefox it always runs into a pay wall. This is crap as these losers get a hit count to their site, get to load ads (for some people), and so on but I don't get to read the article. And who know s what kinda crap they are dumping into my cache. This needs to be fixed or the "feature" removed. This is basic privacy shit not included in a browser that tries to brag about privacy features.....

Depuis une récente mise à jour Firefox, les tuiles de raccourcis de la page Nouvel onglet sont devenues beaucoup trop petites avec énormément d’espace perdu à gauche et à droite. Le confort visuel est moins bon qu’avant, surtout sur grands écrans.

when I opened my computer this morning all my firefox tabs are really tiny and there is a box upper right that is showing weather. I am not interested in this and I want my screen to look like before. Why do you keep changing things that work fine and give me things that I don't want or need.
