I-Firefox Community Forum

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?

Hi Fresh reinstall WIn10Pro home office pc -- want to ensure OS (WIn10pro x64) doesn't alter behind the scenes.

Have FF v140 syncing to a Msoutlook userid and have donated under that id. The donwloaded install was done via a private window as Edge had to be used.

New installs of everything. Full virus scans etc. latest updates. But still seems like MS trying to prevent using FF unaltered.

Is it best to set up a profile and then disconnect sync; then reset FF periodically and turn sync back on? Some IT people said they've done that for a while.

Are local windows users not supposed to be able to save FF settings?

Are we inviting in MS by syncing and/or donating to Mozilla / Firefox with outlook.com addresses?

Thanks.

I updated Firefox, and all my bookmarks disappeared, and I can no longer bookmark things, alongside this, websites no longer autofill in and my browsing history is gone. I tried restarting but that did not work.

I have a 120Hz display with dynamic refresh rate enabled in the Windows settings (48Hz-120Hz). With dynamic refresh rate enabled Firefox locks browsing at 60Hz. With dynamic refresh rate disabled Firefox shows all websites at 120Hz. Due to battery efficiency reasons I would like to use dynamic refresh rate but still use Firefox with 120Hz across all websites. Is there a hidden setting which I have missed? Thanks!

I have downloaded and installed the Japanese language pack. I switched to Japanese in the settings, but English words still come out. (in fact, I'm on Japan settings typing this) According to others, I've done it correctly, but no luck for me. I saw a setting that said it isn't supported on the American browser. If that's the case, I need a better browser. It works fine on my phone, which is why I am so perplexed with this. If you could offer some advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your time

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

In the latest update, the search engine toggle needs me to use the mouse. First, I just had to press ↓ and then toggle between the search engines. Now, I have to do an Shift + Tab to scroll through the list, which is tedious!

Can the old functionality be brought back or maybe a shortcut added for the toggle?

The Governor of Poker site gives me an error message when I try to log in with Firefox:

Your browser does not support graphics API "WebGL 2" which is required for this content.

Not a problem with Google, Edge or other browsers.

Graphics Acceleration is turned on.

Any other thoughts?

140.0.2 (64-bit) Windows MSIX package mozilla-MSIX-1.0 This one has access to ChatGPT, among other AI chatbots. The version above does not mention any AI products.

140.0.2 (64-bit) NO Mention of MSIX NO AI chatbots as far as I can find.

Each wants to be the default, and it doesn't cause a problem unless you try to open the not-default. Then you can either select the not-default to be the default, or NOT. Doesn't matter, as far as I can determine there is no loss of functionality whether default or not-default in either version.

However, it's a bit annoying to have two product with the same version number and different properties.

Notice, this looks like a problem that was solved earlier. But that solution involved installing V140.0.2, obviously that won't work for me.

I await your wisdom---
