I have unchecked search suggestions in settings but these still appear when I search in Firefox with Google (for which I have disabled trending searches).

What is the point of the setting if it doesn't work?

These are things I don't want on my bar. Is there any way to remove them?

How do I remove a shortcut from the Firefox address bar? I understand that I can "uncheck search, address bar, and shortcuts" in Firefox settings, but I think this just hides them, so I wanted to solve the problem fundamentally and asked for advice. Please tell me how to completely remove shortcut URLs from the address bar.

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?

Alternative search engines no longer appear when typing the stasrt of a search. Am able to set alternative search engine in settings but need to go back to settings if I want to use another one. This happened after a recent update - perhaps as much as a week ago.

Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.

Why do I have search results of pages inside my adress bar, that I almost never use?

This goes mainly for Reddit.com and Tagesschau.de, as im from germany this seems really strange?

The site mentioned is newssite (Tagesschau.de) controverial at best and I never use it. I have no idea why its there, in 1 year I probably got redirected to there without knowing twice.

So it cant be the most used sites iam on, especially if there is reddit too. I dont have an account and do not use the site. Since when does firefox has Ads in their adress bar?

What is this and how do I get rid of it? I doubt that it is one of the most used sites in germany, it cant be for alot of simple reasons. Age of the userbase does not fit with the Internet User group. 50% of the country does not like them (tagesschau page). Germany is in the IT Darkages except the tech savvy youth and generation 1980 to this day. This newsgroup is targeted towards an older generation and is still heavily invested in TV not the Internet. As it is statemedia its also highly out of touch with the current more internet focused generations, so I doubt that its because they generate traffic or anything else.

Is there a way do blank all search results on default? And I would really like to know how this page got there.

With search suggestions turned off and browser history completely cleared (all check boxes for all time), Firefox suggests AP News (apnews.com) when I click the search bar.

Now, somebody at Mozilla decided to add Google trending searches to our non-Google searches. Since I want nothing to do with Google other than (grudgingly) having an email account, is there a way to remove all those trending searches in one swoop? I removed the initial bunch, then went back later, and there were more. TIA.

I want Google to return 100 search items in Firefox. All the descriptions of how to do this mean you have to do the search, then go to the end of the address bar and add &num=100 and enter.

This is very tedious so I set up a special bookmark which did it. So I'd do the search, then click the bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and it would expand the hits to 100. However, I've lost the bookmark and I can't remember how I did it.

When adding a bookmark to the toolbar you need to specify the URL. In this case the URL will be the generated address from the search, ie. the current URL each time. How can I specify the curent URL when it is a dynamic address? It needs to start with "http" in order for it to be in the right format to save.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.

Hi friends.

As shown in the image, if I enable "Address Bar - (suggest) Browsing history" option at about:preferences#search page, bunch of subordinate pages are displayed, which is barely useful, in my opinion.

I want to hide them, but I want to keep the auto completion functioning. For instance: I want my Firefox to complete https://youtube.com/ with only typing y, but don't want to see those 'Firefox Suggestion' pages.

Is it possible to set it this way? Or I can't just have it both ways? Please let me know.

(Thanks in advance, and responses in easy English will be much appreciated; I'm a beginner in English.)
