I switched my default search engine from Google to Bing. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it should be searching with Bing. But for some reason the search results are always Google. How do I fix this? I haven't refreshed Firefox yet. I was hoping to avoid that.

Hello,

I can't figure out how to add a custom search shortcut, is this no longer possible in Firefox (without installing addons/extensions)?

I recall 'custom search' being more or less ubiquitous, and feel like there was an "Add" button below the Search Shortcuts UI not that long ago.

Bookmarks with keywords would be a reasonable workaround if it weren't for having to prefix the keyword to the search terms.

Thank you, Kyle

Hello, Just updated to the latest FF on Windows and I want the old search engines option.

Now there's a dropdown menu to choose from, which is nice but makes a redundant click (click the dropdown and click again to chose).

Before the update, after typing a string, I would have at the bottom of the the search bar a list of the available engines, clicking one of the icons, would start the search, thus only 1 click.

Is there a way to get this back?

Thanks

Hi, Google, is my search engine of choice on Mozilla Firefox, and the Os on my computer is Windows 10. Google search is no longer active from any scroll down or top tab bar. Have a nice day.

Why is there a search term bar in the body of the web page but it jumps to the address bar when a search term is entered. Why would firefox design a place in the body of the web page that does not work. How is this corrected?

I am having an issue where my browser does not show the webpage title or website name when it returns results. I haven't changed anything about my browser recently and I'm really unsure of what is going on. Any advice to fix this would be appreciated.

Hi. I changed my default to Firefox but when I open a tab that darn Yahoo keeps coming up. I restarted my computer and everything. How can I get Firefox to be my search engine?

Why do searches default my home location to Northern Utah, when I live in Central Utah? How can I get Firefox to use my actual home location as my default location for queries.

I want to set firefox to use noai.duckduckgo as my default search engine so I can continue to type queries in the address bar. How can i change the settings to include noai.ddg as a default option?

How can I use ECOSIA as my search engine? ECOSIA is a search engine that "plants trees." I'd like to support the environmental nature of it.

I have used Firefox as browser for years. Yesterday, my default search engine in FF was changed to Bing. The settings in FF clearly show my seach engine is duck duck. I cannot open duck duck, because bing will not go away! I tried chatgpt. It gave me three good suggestions and walked me through it, but no success. the AI says its some sort of embedding in an add on or extension. This is well beyond my computer ability. Can you suggest any way out of this? Bing is simply awful!!

I have used FF for many years with great satisfaction. The Google search bar has always been presented as the default and I prefer to use it. Starting last week, searches now direct me to Yahoo and I want my default search to be Google. How can I get it back?

Why did Wikipedia suddenly appear in the address bar at the top and when I try to put in address it goes to Wiki on them not the website. The search bar in the middle that was Google is now Wikipedia. How do I get rid of it and go back to how it was before?
