I go in and set the Search engine to DuckDuckGo but it defaults back to Google every time I start the app again. Firefox 128.6.0esr macOS 14.7.2.

Will return to my previous browser if FF doesn't allow my choice of Search engine.

When I search using duckduckgo within firefox I get a white page with no results sometimes, it's quite frequent and I'm not sure what is the cause. I've tried disabling addons like Ubo, malwarebytes and had no luck. I've changed my firefox settings hoping that would fix it but it hasn't. It's like the page doesn't fully load.

Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

  • Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
  • Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance

I can't use Google search, Java not running yet it was the other day, I have 'Open264' plug-in, in 'about-config' Javascript.enabled is set to 'true'- I tried toggle it and re-booted but still same.

Then, I tried in browser 'safe-mode', lo and behold that solved the problem.... why is this? What I didn't mention is before doing all this I tried Java script and that work OK.... but not Google search.

Thanks, Dave

For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

It is the 'Search Bar' function on your Browser! It's an absolute nuisance to use. When you begin typing a question into the search bar it immediately (as you all know) diverts to the Address bar in the Browser. Your eyes have to divert your focus and attention every single time you use the Search Bar making the process fatiguing, exacerbated by having to put up with the smaller font used in the address bar. Google, EDGE and Opera, Doesn't use this method only Firefox. It's a real pain and the is the sole reason I will never make 'Fox' my default Browser.

I prefer to use Startpage as my search engine with Firefox on my Mac. I have that set up, but it's so annoying that when I put something in the address or search bar, no search happens. Instead, I just get the Startpage home page and then have to retype the same thing in there! How do I solve this?
