My current version of Firefox is 151.0.4 (64-bit) & for the past 2 weeks or so every time I use the search bar to google something it triggers one of those "We've detected unusual activity from your network" requiring a Captcha. At first I tried all of the typical stuff [antivirus, vpn, extensions, etc...] to make sure that wasn't the issue. But as of yesterday & confirmed today I can actually go to Google's website first & do the search from there with no issue & no captcha.

So, whatever the issue is has to do specifically with doing the search via the search bar... for some reason. Is this a bug in the browser, or is there perhaps some setting that could cause this to happen in the about:config page? Though, I doubt a setting could be it because I've changed the settings I've changed now for years without causing this issue.

In this version of Firefox 152 for windows I'm currently unable to remove search related to google, ebay, perplexity and bing.

Please return possibility to remove those completely!

I don't want my browser to have anything to do with those listed above. I have had it removed in previous versions. Why did you add it to browser again?! Why don't you allow to remove it anymore?!

I was scrolling on Pinterest and I saw this pin about Outer Banks. It was a collage of JJ. I really liked it so I liked it and then asked in the comments if they could make one about Sarah because she is my favourite and then today seven hours ago, they replied saying oh yeah I already made one. Here’s the link. hppts://pin.it/1Kt7XuqWB I tried searching the link on ChatGPT didn’t work. Pinterest didn’t work. Google didn’t work now. I don’t know how to see it cause I checked their account and it also wouldn’t let me see it. It wasn’t showing up. How can I search and find this pin.

I've had the icons change position since 2 hours ago. I use my keyboard (the arrow keys) to use the search engines that I want to. I want to change it back, how do I do it?

HOW CAN I GET RID OF GOOGLE? THEY'RE SO INVASIVE. I need Firefox to take over every single thing! The worst single thing I did, is downloading the app from Google! Mozilla and Firefox need an alternative for their downloads, of the app. Can't you help me, please?

Bonjour, ce matin 2 juin 2025 j'ai vu qu'il était possible de faire des recherches en changeant uniquement le moteur de recherche qui figure sur une liste. Mais je suis incapable de trouver la page de Mozilla Firefox qui s'est ouverte en premier AVEC MA CONNEXION INTERNET CE MATIN COMMENT PUIS6JE RETROUVER CETTE PAGE ? Cordialement Dominique

I'm in Winnipeg, and my IP address says that as well, but when I search for things in Firefox and Chrome it puts me in Ontario since I changed ISP. Very annoying having to change store on every site, every time.

I use Sequoia on a MacBook Air and I have used DDG in the past but recently it has become increasingly restrictive in its searches....to the point where it won't even allow me access to my own accounts. I have tried deleting the application, uninstalling Firefox and then re-installing it but it just won't go away.

I wanna get rid of Google as my search engine. I have tried everything I can think of, but I can’t seem to get rid of the Google search bar coming up even though it’s on Firefox.

I 'am having a terrible time trying to get Google search engine or search bar off of my Firefox .

And I can’t seem to get some of the things that have been suggested to use for example. I’m having trouble finding I can’t find things called “search shortcuts” and I just having trouble finding the three buttons, under the Firefox app opening screen. What should I do?

Can you PLEASE return to us the option to delete Google from search engines in your settings ENTIRELY? I can't get rid of the stupid fucking AI search results that are ALWAYS wrong but you won't let me delete it from search engines. If you'll let me get rid of Bing!, you can fucking well let me block Google as well.
