I-Firefox Community Forum

I have a pixel 6 phone. My default browser on the phone is Firefox. However, when I open the Firefox app to search, a drop down menu in the search bar comes up and asks which browser I want to search in. Google is at the top of this list and Firefox isn't an option. If I want to search with Firefox I have to add a link, but I can't get the link. How to I fix this to only search on firefox?

Firefox 128.9.0ers how do I stop searching in the address bar? When I go to google.com and try to search in the search bar, it moves to the address bar instead. I don't want to search there.

Hi,

Firefox latest version, windows 10 up to date.

I experience various issues with Google services:

• reCaptcha doesn't work: the challenge doesn't appear, or if by chance it does, it just runs forever.
• Opening pages from the Google search page frequently fails. The page just stops loading on a white page. Reloading multiple times, or removing the Google search encapsulation from the url bar, solves the issue.
• Accessing files on Drive frequently fails.

Evertyhing works fine 1. with any other browser; 2. with Firefox on a another PC.

I've tried, of course, changing all possible security/tracking options, disabling add-ons, &c, to no avail. I've tried to uninstall/reinstall Firefox - I need what is stored in my profile, so I copied back all of my profile files in the new profile folder. Same issue. I've tried using the newly installed default profile - same issue.

As stated, no issue at all with any other web browser. Can you help me diagnose?

Thank you!

I use the google search engine with the mozilla app on my phone, but every time i do a new search i get logged out of my google account. This didnt happen before, how do i fix it?

I have gone to "settings" and have changed the search engine to Duck DuckGo from Dogpile (after hearing some disturbing news about Dogpile). However, even after changing to DDGo and 'shutting down' (cold boot), my searches are still routed through Dogpile even though 'originating' in DDgo. How do I get rid of this 'flypaper' of an application? BTW, I am on Windows 10.

If I highlight text on any page in Firefox 136.0, and then ask Gemini to "Explain this", Gemini opens in the Sidebar (I have selected the RHS of the screen for the sidebar), but my selected text is not entered into Gemini, and nothing happens. If I try this again while the sidebar is open, I get the message "Something went wrong, try reloading this page" Reloading the page doesn't help.

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.

Google and Bing miss the first character of my search. When pressing search the results do not show any detail or urls. Firefox is up to date. Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. See Screenshots 3 and 4. They work correctly on other browsers. I suspect there's something in Settings, but I can't find it myself. Help! See Screenshots 1 and 2.

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 always use google as my default search engine for firefox. I recently got a message saying firefox had been updated. Ever since, whenever I search for something it keeps using yahoo as the default search engine instead of google. I checked the settings and google IS selected as the default search engine. The weird thing is, if I set the default search engine to something like ebay or wikipedia it will use that correctly. It's just that when google is selected it goes to yahoo instead. I appreciate any help, thank you.
