89.0 update

FF home page center search box.

When clicking on it, the cursor blinks as normal. When typing, it defaults to the header search box. Any solution?

Hello Guys, So yesterday I got the color selection thing popping up on my screen and I accidentaly selected white mode but I wanted dark mode. And now I don't know how to get back the color selection, because can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can change my color again?

return the address bar to center of screen. as a senior don't need something smaller and up near top of screen. should of ask before changes were made on 89 update.

Hello.

My home page is Google's search pane. However, when I begin to type in my search string, FF throws me up to the address line.

How can I stop FF from moving my search string from the Google search pane (middle of page) up to the address bar?

Many thanks,

Mark

I has taken many years of work for Mozilla to create a usable internet browser, and now you have taken that away. How was the Person who decided to put the search option into the URL. This is not only unsafe, but makes the Start page, useless. When I type in the Search I want to see it being input into the middle of my Start page like it has always been done, not waist a whole page for nothing. It is not only a stupid idea, it is also a waist of the text that us used to create the Start page. I would also like to note that many of the mobile, tablet and other computers all use this method, and it is rubbish and removes the point of having a page with a search text box in the middle.

for god sake can you please stop trying so hard to be the best of the best, Firefox has always been the best, and you seem to be trying your best to destroy it for many many users.

Hi.

My firebox brower updated last night, and this morning, it's messed up my browser.. I've managed to find and get back my saved bookmarks.

But its also given me the issue of not being able to remove the 'search address bar' at the top of the screen. It's using the Search Bar in the address bar for search and navigation. which i don't want, and it isn't working in their anyway, it doesn't search..

Luckily i'm able to click on the home screen tab icon, which takes me to a google search engine screen (As i set it up as the home search engine screen) , which i can type in things, and it takes me to those pages. It's the firefox.

I've gone into settings, but doesn't actually give you the option in there to remove or disable the search bar and nativation address bar..

I found this post by someone in the mozila support forum who is having similar issue to me..

"Every UI update, there's something that makes me enjoy Firefox less and less and it becomes more and more difficult to make it something I feel is reasonable. Having the address bar suddenly take up more of the UI is bad design and not only irks me on a design level but it just doesn't need to be that large. I *know* it has focus because I did it deliberately.

So how do I turn this "feature" off? Chosen solution

You can revert to the old AwesomeBar by:

   Type about:config in the urlbar
   Search for browser.urlbar.update1 and set it to false
   Search for browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus and set it to false
   Restart Firefox   "

So i have tried to do this, but it's not made any difference, the search bar and address bar is still there at the top of the screen, and still not working. I want it gone..

Can someone help me please. Becky

Before the new Firefox released, I was able to use my search bar on my home page. Now, it shows up in my address bar. I found two different solutions. I tried both and they failed to stop. I don't know who's bright idea it was for this to happen, but I hate it. So, how do I disable it completely?

Here are the two suggestion solutions I found, both are archived now: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1219899 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284577

recently added bitminder password manager to Firefox. Checked in extension and it is listed and turned on. However, I cannot locate the icon on the firefox page. Where is it hiding? Thank you. Murdybits

I upgraded to Firefox v89/64bit. Now when I open a new tab Firefox forces me to use the address bar for searches. I can't find anything in 'Settings' that will let me change this. Maybe I've missed something obvious. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I just opened Firefox and discovered that version 89.0 is installed. I would like to know how to move the tab bar down below the bookmarks bar like I have always used in Firefox.

Thank you for any help.

Is it possible to set up Firefox so that during the night it uses a dark theme and during the day a light one? I haven't been able to find any dynamic theme setups

Hello!

when I turned off my computer, I had a number of important tabs open. Usually when I turn off my computer and turn it back on, I just "restore" my previous session and my tabs are there. However, Firefox upgraded automatically and gave me no option to save my tabs or restore them. Now all I am seeing is new tab and new window as options. :( I need my previous sessions because I don't remember all the urls out of my head. Please help.

Kind regards,

-Rusty

Would love to just go back to my old browser look, but if not, is there a way to: 1) Not have the "floating" tabs? In other words, have the tab outlines clearly showing? 2) I find it very annoying to see the "PLAYING" constantly popping-up in my tab when playing solitaire. Is there a way to disable that?

Hi Team,

I have a dynamic web URL like test/something, when i visit the webpage for the first time using http://test/something it will be navigated to the particular domain page as expected. But if i try to visit again the same domain address like test/someotherurl it must be auto suggested and recognized as a web URL (http://test/someotherurl) rather taking me/suggesting for a google search when i click enter.  Also it is not shown anywhere.  All other browsers and older versions (78) of firefox was showing this. I request you to kindly suggest me a way to fix this.

Attached a screenshot for the scenario. You can see only search with google suggestion is there. previously i visited http://test/someurl from the same browser. So here every time i need to type http in front of a url.
