I-Firefox Community Forum

Firefox 136.0. Previously: 1) No search engine sign in urlbar (left side). 2) When I pressed "en." in urlbar, it supported one-time go to Wikipedia search. For this I needed to press down arrow one time. Alternatively, with up arrow, I could move to any other search engine from the configured list. Now: 1) Search engine is present in urlbar for any entering into it. 2) To switch I have to press another selection (as suggested Wikipedia) with mouse, either to left or to down (where suggested) of the urlbar.

I want to return the old style with selection that works with keyboard.

After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:

- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:
