I-Firefox Community Forum

I have a Raspberry Pi 4b with a 64bit 4 core Arm CPU and 8GB ram. It is currently using Debian Trixie with the Xfce4 desktop.

I installed Firefox, and went through the setup. I made sure that in settings -> general the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" is checked. I also set the about:config "browser.search.openintab" is set to true. My default search engine is DuckDuckGo.

Firefox will not open any search in a new tab. It opens them in the search results tab only. I have an x86-64 notebook and an x86-64 desktop running Xubuntu that are using the same settings, and they function properly.

Am I missing something? Is this a peculiarity to the arm version of Firefox? Is there another setting specific the Raspberry Pi or arm Firefox that I have to change?

Cheers!

Somehow yahoo became my default search engine and when I do a search I get the same advertisement that blocks the entire landing screen, how can I change it back to google?

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?

I use google account No.1 for log in Mozilla Also I use google account No.2 When I open new tab / type request / google search give me results using google account No.2 I can`t change it. If it`s possible - please advise how

Apologies for not being able to follow instructions. I went to settings/search/default search engine and selected the one I want in the dropdown. But I don't see how to save this change and now it defaults to Bing.

I actively use keywords to search from the address bar, mainly g for google, gs for google scholar and w for wikipedia. Until a recent update (until last week, I think), pressing ctrl + L to go to the address bar would select all the text in the address bar, including the keyword, such that if I had made a google search by typing g and some query, I could immediately do a wikipedia search by typing w and some query.

Now, with an updated firefox (141.0.3, on xubuntu 24.04), the search engine from the previous search remains when I press ctrl + L, so I have to type backspace(s) to remove the search engine keyword, before typing a new keyword.

Is it possible to get the old behaviour back?

The very first time I opened Firefox and tried to do a search I got a hijacker:

https://search-owl.com/?path=firefox/newtab&u=895622cd6e29c107&subid=11118&channel=18

Why?

I did a scan with both Malwarebytes and with TotalAV, no detections.

I stopped using Chrome and Brave because I had another hijacker (Yohoo!). I used Malwarebytes to quarantine and delete that because my paid subscription to TotalAV didn't find it. Now I'm stuck with an all new different hijacker upon installation of Firefox.

Hello! I want my address bar to be simply that - an address bar. I do not want to search from it, I do not want to run commands from it, I do not want to run shortcuts from it. I just want it to take me to that address - and if that address is not valid or available, I do not want suggestions or options. Just an address bar, nothing else. Is this possible? Thanks! -Doug

With a catastrophe with my System I almost reinstall all Software including Firefox than I found the address bar changed a lot in the latest version.

For the old version when I type words, press the down key to switch your engine below, but the new version they disappear! Even for alt+↑ or alt + ↓ are disabled now, may it be too radical?

I really like the engines below in the old version, thus, a option for let the engines shows below may pretty helpful

каждый раз когда я закрываю все в кладки в firefox после того как я захожу в браузер снова у меня открываеться сайт яндекса и поиск ведеться только через яндекс пока я не выберу снова google, как решить эту проблему?

Just recently I am no longer able to use Bing.com to search with. Being it is my preferred source of searching for me. Google is awful for my purposes.
