Hello how do i prevent firefox android from saving google searches?

There used to be a selection that allows this but now i do not see it on android.

When clicking in google search, all recent searches are there...google web activity has already been turned off

Steps for repetition: 1. Perform a Google search 2. open the site from the output 3. Go back (with the anlroid button or from the Firefox menu 4. Perform another Google search 5. Open the site from the output 6. Go back

The result will be the FIRST search on the screen, although it should be the second search.

Hi. So I have this really weird bug...after I search for something on google if I want to search for something else in the same tab and I enter on a website, if I go back it doesn't go back to my last search on google but 2 searches behind. So it goes back to my first search instead of the 2nd search.

Firefox shows browsing suggestions based on my bookmarks and browsing history even after clearing tabs and history files how do I stop the suggestions based on history and bookmarks

I'm experiencing the following bug:

When I click a search result, the search result page (as in, the Google page listing search results) is not saved in my history. When I click the back button, I'm taken back to the page I was on before entering the search query. I should note, not all search result pages are removed from my history. When I navigate away from a search result page by entering a URL in the address bar or querying another search, the initial search remains in my history. The issue only seems to appear when I select a search result. Then the search result page is removed from history.

You know, for android, people can still choose the 3 button plan, which are background, home and return.

So, previously, If I long press return, firefox would push up a list of history pages of the current tab page, I can select to go back to any one.

But recently I found this function have disappeared. Is this function canceled, or just a bug and there's way to fix it?

Long pressing the Android back button on the navigation bar no longer displays the tab's history on Firefox Android.

S22 Ultra Android 13

134.0.1 (Build #2016067655)

As of a few weeks ago I no longer get tab history by a long press on the back arrow. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

135.0 (Build #2016070975), hg-17c38d56ca55+ GV: 135.0-20250130195129 AS: 135.0.1

Recently (a couple of months ago) a "standard" feature shared between Desktop and Mobile suddenly stopped working on my Android, and this cripples the use of many "secure" websites.

We could click-and-hold, long-press, call-it-whatever, the Back button and instead of trying to go back one page Firefox would show a screenful of pages, like clicking the drop-down next to Back on the desktop version. I could click on the bottom link, then immediately hold again and go back another half screen, and in two clicks go back probably 70 pages.

Why has this essential functionality been removed? How do we get it back? Can I roll back to a specific browser version just before it was removed?

This function is so core to my effective use of Firefox that I would choose it over any notional "security" or "stability" enhancements from having a later version.

Examples of why this is *not* a trivial problem--

On a banking or government logged in site, going back several pages (say, to before the login pages) is critical to continue reading the information you were reading when your session timed out (when the alternative is either try to click Back quickly several times but end up at the login page again, or spend half an hour following the obscure links to try to remember how you found the information in the first place).

On a shopping site, having gone to the checkout and emptied your basket, if you need to go back and place a second order for things you've just been looking at but did put in your basket, it is critical to be able to go Back multiple pages to skip over the payment security screens, otherwise most shopping sites either hijack the Back button or get terribly confused whether you want to pay again or why it can't display the contents of your empty basket.

On Google Translate, it's essential to be able to do this to flip back to previous translation attempts, because when you type text at the keypad the silly webpage takes every keypress as a new webpage in the stack, so you often have to go back 100 times just to get the previous successfully translated sentence.

The long-press back button no longer summons the tab's history on my Android phone or my Galaxy tab. Mozilla appears to have disabled this feature quite recently. I'm referring to the small arrow in the lower right-hand corner that you hit quickly to go back once. It was quite useful to do a long press on the arrow and have the history of the tab pop up in a list. You could then pick any page on the list and go directly back, skipping over all the other pages.

Please reinstate this useful feature?

For some reason on android firefox I'm no longer able to pull up a tab's history by holding down the back button. I can still press to go back, but there's no way to either go back several pages or to go forward if I have already gone back.

Firefox android keeps a full history of entries form the address bar. This list is very helpful when using "search history" option for address bar autocomplete or suggestions. ("Firefox suggests")

HOWEVER, it is insanity inducing when invalid entries exist in that list, as they are endlessly suggested, but cannot easily be exorcised from said list.

Sure, the list can be displayed, and individual or even multiple entries can be displayed (as described in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-your-browsing-history-firefox-android

However, this technique requires you to manually scroll through thousands of entries to select the items you may wish. There is no tool to sort the list or any other list manipulation tools. There is a search function, as identified by the magnifying glass icon in the menu bar, and the search tool quickly displayed all the target appearances from the thousands. It even conveniently shows them on the search results page... BUT you cannot effect any of the actions available for the unsearched list. All you can do is open one of the search results. You can't delete, select or anything.

This makes editing the history for invalid or otherwise undesirable entries IMPOSSIBLE.

The tool set needs to be extended to the search results list, or some other tool needs to be provided to edit the history in some other way.

Any suggestions are welcome, this could also be considered s feature suggestion. My only option is to use a different browser, and that is very unplayable to me. I am a radio firefox defender.

The question is simple: Are there plans for adding timestamps to search history so that one could see on what date they visited that web page just like in Chrome? The date of visit would be enough although it would be even better if there'd be an exact time of refreshing that page. Or are there known add-ons to Firefox for Android that do that? Thank you.

When using a traditional 3-button navigation bar for my system UI, I can long-press the "back" button to call up the current tab's history, allowing me to navigate back or forward several steps at once. However, when using gesture navigation at the system level, there no longer is a back button to hold. How do I open the individual history in that case?
