Hi,

I'm currently on Firefox Developer Edition version 136.0b6, and for some reason the search bar no longer displays the https:// header. Is it possible to turn this back on?

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?

Hi Folks:

For desktop Firefox.

Until a couple of weeks ago I could have a search bar next to the address bar.

This allowed me to enter a search request and then see the search result's page with the page's address in the address bar.

If I wanted to repeat the search, or modify the search, the search request would still be in the search bar.

Now I only have the address bar. If the page found by the search isn't what I want I need to re-type the search into the address bar where it will be overwritten by the address of the result of the search.

That can be inconvenient.

I no longer see the option for a separate search bar in Firefox's search settings.

Am I the only person who misses this feature?

Is the separate search bar available if I know how to ask for it?

Thanks Larry

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.

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.

Why can't I choose a search engine that is not one of the top ones. Since the new administration took over the white house, so many large companies are moving to the far right. I just want to search outside of the main stream billionaire run systems. They aren't standing up for me I refuse to use their products.

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

I have been using FireFox for very many years. I have used the Search Bar to search -- NOT the Address Bar -- for as long as it has been available.

But the Search Bar doesn't work anymore. I enter something and nothing happens. I have tried several different search engines. Google, DuckDuckGo, and Brave. Same results.

I am well-trained to use the Search Bar. It is completely instinctual. It is very jarring to find it not working and then have to try again using the Address Bar. Again and again.

Further, I absolutely HATE it when a Text Input Field is used to do different functions like this depending on what I enter.

Is this by design? I.e. are they getting rid of the Search Bar? Or is it a bug?

If it's not a bug, I don't get it. Why would Mozilla antagonize the few users they have left? Further, why would they waste the few resources they have left to do something like this?

Hello.

In about:config the keyword.enabled false does not work anymore.

So how on earth do we stop this stupid search option in the url bar. When i open a new tab, i'll get on a firefox tab. In the middle I can search (in the search bar), but after typing 1 letter, the search is moved to be in the address bar. WHY????

How to stop this madness?

Thank you for an answer

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?

Hello, I recently found Ecosia search to be force-installed in firefox, and after much digging I found this to be because of a new collab between them and mozilla. However, I HATE when things gets forced upon you, its the only reason I have stuck with firefox this long.

I cant seem to find a way to remove this search option from my providers list, please instruct me on how to do this, cause if I cant, I will unfortunately have to drop firefox as my browser.

//Kind regards

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

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.

How can I remove: search.funsafetabsearch.com from my computer? It is interfering with my searches and I believe it is a virus. Thank You Ken
