I-Firefox Community Forum

Just recently I am no longer able to use Bing.com to search with. Being it is my preferred source of searching for me. Google is awful for my purposes.

I have been using Firefox and Duck duck go to search. This morning I could not search and duck duck and was requested to I download Duck duck go as browser. Now I can't search except in Google. Help. I plan on uninstalling the Duck duck go browser. What is a good private search engine?

Hello, I would like to add the Perplexity.ai search engine as my default search. Is there a way to do that? I don't see it listed on the search engine pull-down menu. Thanks.

Hi!

My default search engine has always been Firefox for years. Since the last Firefox update, when I select + and get to a New Tab, the search engine changes to Google.

I am on Windows 10. I want the New Tab to stay with Firefox. Any tips?

Thank you for your help! TS

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.

I added the bing for the background on my computer; now I have somehow made it the browser when I open firefox and I want to remove it even if it means not having the backgrounds. I WANT FIREFOX AND NOT BING

Hello! I would like to change my searches from yahoo to google, it wasn´t like this before but apparently now if i want to search something i would get the answers from yahoo

I added the duckduckgo extension and gave it the required permissions, but despite it saying that it set duckduckgo as the default search engine, it hadn't even showed up on the list at all. I tried removing and adding back the extension, but that didn't work either.

HOW CAN I GET RID OF GOOGLE? THEY'RE SO INVASIVE. I need Firefox to take over every single thing! The worst single thing I did, is downloading the app from Google! Mozilla and Firefox need an alternative for their downloads, of the app. Can't you help me, please?

I have used Firefox for years and when searching then Google was automatically the default. The last month or 2 when I am using search, it is defaulting to Yahoo. Why did this happen and how do I change it back to defaulting to Google? Thank you.

How can I delete search history? I have a few misspelled searches and similar old stuff that pops up in the address bar when I type in a new search.

I have tried several things:

• Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear data → Selecting and marking everything but with no effect whatsoever
• Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Firefox will never remember history + Clear history as mentioned above
• Settings → Search → Search suggestions → everything disabled
• Settings → Search → Address bar → everything but Bookmarks have been disabled
• Deleted my old Firefox account and created a new so I can still sync between 2 computers

Example: Previously I used www.adobe.com but now I use www.adobe.dk. But everytime I enter adobe in the address bar, Firefox keeps suggesting (autofill) adobe.com instead adobe.dk.

Any suggestions how to clear/delete the browser/search history so I can get a fresh start?
