When I use the search engine it will not open and says "Hmm we're having trouble finding that site". My Bookmarks all work and open fine but i cannot search anything?

My apologies - I don't know a lot of the correct terminology for much of these things! Parts of the web address in the address bar, such as www and https disappear, but re-appear if I want to change the address by typing an addition or correction in the current address. Is there a way to make sure that the entire address shows all the time? Thanks!

Why do searches only show results from liberal news outlets? This is the case no matter which search engine I choose.

I can go many pages into search results and not see any results from conservative new sources such as Newsmax. And yet, if I put Newmax in the search I get their results. But why do I have to search that way. And more importantly, why do general searches ONLY SHOW LIBERAL NEWS results?

Here is an example from today's news that "Lester Holt stepping down" from NBC News.

A search of "Lester Holt stepping down" shows: NBC news, AP news, CNN, CBS, USA Today, NBC, Politico, New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, People, Yahoo, and on. But NO conservative news outlets. And just to be clear, Fox News comes up sometimes (down several pages), but many things they report show me that they often don't show conservative viewpoints--which changed a couple years ago, with management changes.

I really want an answer to this question. The Liberal News BIAS is disgusting and needs to be stopped!

While I know that I can change the Search engine (currently set to DuckDuckGo), the problem is that they all generally show the same results. Just like they all rely on Google for their information.

After I upgraded to v137 and now on v138 I do not have the new search enhancements made to the address bar. Only a new profile will get me the enhancements. I'd rather not have to create a new profile and add all my changes and add-ons all over again. It's a real PITA. Is there any 'trick' I can try to get the new enhancements?

It's frustrating, no matter what you set, the search always jumps to the address field. I enter known addresses in the address field. I SEARCH in the SEARCH FIELD. And I want that in the future too. How do I make it possible, permanently, to be able to search in the search field??? The following doesn't work (anymore).

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

How can you claim privacy and security while using Google search engine??? That is why I use Mozilla Foxfire! I will continue to use duck duck go on phone and laptop!

I have only two installed - Google and it's copy, with a modified search query so that there is no result from AI. But periodically I notice that something has installed some other search engines. Yesterday I got a search engine that plants trees and today Amazon. I delete them, but sometimes they (or some other) appear again. I can't imagine that it was me, who accidentally installed them in a hurry (when I need to quickly find something on Google).

I have the following extensions installed: - AdBlocker for YouTube - BlockTube - Fandom SideBar Remover - FoxyProxy - Google Search Ad Remover And Customizer - Google search link fix - Hide shorts for Youtube - Toggle Website Colors (Global) - uBlacklist - WindowSizer

Somehow yahoo became my default search engine and when I do a search I get the same advertisement that blocks the entire landing screen, how can I change it back to google?

My firefox keeps redirecting me through two different websites before giving me my search results from yahoo, my preferred search engine is Google and I think my browser has been hjacked, I did a complete wipe of data and Firefox files and a dns cache clear from my computer but it seems it's still happening, any help would be appreciated

Is there a method to make searches here more precise?

I just did a search here for "inaccurate location detection". I got 3 results. One with the word inaccurate, one for location and one for detection.

I have found Wikipedia to be biased and to contain much incorrect information. I would prefer to omit results from Wikipedia and to use data from Grokipedia instead. This presents two questions: 1. Will Mozilla add a general option to add or remove search sources? And 2. will Mozilla add Grokipedia to its list of sources?
