What is Firefox Suggest?

Firefox Suggest is a feature that provides website suggestions from Firefox and Mozilla's partners, as you type into the address bar. It serves as a trustworthy guide to the better web, with relevant suggestions to help you accomplish your goals.

What's already provided?

Firefox already provides suggestions from your default search engine as you type into the address bar, if enabled in Firefox settings. Firefox also shows you address bar autocomplete suggestions based on local data stored on your own computer, such as websites from your browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs. US users will see this local data under a “Firefox Suggest” label in the address bar drop-down list.

In addition to suggestions based on local data, Firefox Suggest results may also include contextual suggestions from the Web and occasionally from Mozilla's partners, which are also on by default (any sponsored results will be clearly labeled). These are helpful suggestions from Firefox related to your search query and do not require new types of data. They include content from many sources, including Wikipedia, Pocket articles and product reviews. See this Mozilla blog post to learn more about Firefox Suggest and how it works.

Why would you enable the Improved Firefox Suggest Experience?

Firefox is creating a trustworthy guide to the better web, surfacing relevant information to users as they navigate the web. We're doing so by only collecting the data that we need to operate, suggest relevant content, and update the functionality of Firefox Suggest based on our Lean Data and Data Privacy Principles.

When you enable the improved Firefox Suggest experience, it helps Firefox improve the overall search experience and suggest relevant information for users. To enable these suggestions, click Allow suggestions when you receive our notification prompt or go to the Address Bar — Firefox Suggest section in Firefox settings to choose the types of suggestions that will show in address bar results.

What types of suggestions can I expect in the address bar?

• Search Engine Suggestions: Suggestions from your preferred search engine, if enabled.
• Firefox Suggest: Sponsored and non-sponsored suggestions.

What data does Mozilla share with its partners if you allow or enable “Improve the Firefox Suggest Experience”?

• Clicks and impressions: Mozilla receives information about the fact that a suggestion was shared. When a user clicks on a suggestion, Mozilla receives notice that a suggested link was clicked.
• Location: Mozilla collects city-level location data along with searches to properly serve location-sensitive queries.
• Search keywords: Firefox Suggest sends Mozilla information about certain search keywords, which may be shared with partners to fetch the suggested content and improve the Suggest feature.

Who are Mozilla’s partners?

Mozilla collaborates with trusted organizations to provide some of the suggestions you see in Firefox. Privacy is fundamental to Mozilla’s mission, and we carefully evaluate all partners to ensure they meet our strict privacy standards.

We partner with adMarketplace, and Yelp , and AccuWeather to provide sponsored suggestions that enhance your browsing experience with helpful, context-based information. For transparency, sponsored suggestions are clearly labeled as Sponsored meaning Mozilla receives revenue when users engage with these suggestions, which in turn helps fund Firefox development and other Mozilla initiatives. Through Yelp, we offer recommendations for local businesses and services, such as restaurants and shops. AccuWeather enables us to provide weather-related suggestions, including local forecasts and current conditions. The AccuWeather feature is being rolled out gradually and may not yet be available to all users.

Firefox provides suggestions from Wikipedia, which are not sponsored. Wikipedia results are provided to enrich your browsing experience with useful, community-driven information.

You can also access stock market information directly from the address bar. Polygon API provides these suggestions, and you’ll need to opt in to Firefox Suggest to get the most accurate data. See 在 Firefox 地址栏中获取个性化建议 for more information.
