I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

Hi Team,

Hope this message finds you well.

I dont mostly use mic icon to search and for this reason i have denied microphone access to Firefox app. But by chance i had to tap on search icon i pressed mic icon, and speech processing thing appears i thought this will appear but wont take any input. I said few words and it took and started processing. Though mic acces was disabled this happened.

This is a serious issue and need to be fixed asap!

Regards, Firefox User

when i try to change my mobile search engine to one that is not on the preset list, it says i have to enter a URL. i tried already, but it doesn't seem to work. the engine i'm trying to switch to is Qwant, which is popular in france and has really good privacy protections.

duplicate of /questions/1498990 thread

I downloaded Firefox. When I put in the search bar, Google is attached. To many loses due to no trust with it. I want a place, to feel safer. Cause I don't feel safe with google

On Google home page when I reclick the search box to add another word the last words gets deleted straight away and only does this on Firefox.

Using android.

I just went to hit the menu button in Firefox Android and now there's a QR scanner icon instead which brings up the camera. I use the menu/settings typically twice a day. I use the QR scanner about once every 8 months.

I want a way to remove the QR scanner option from the URL bar.

Just like every other android phone, it already has a built in QR scanner within settings.

I don't need some Mickey Mouse bolt on to Firefox to duplicate that functionality, which in the process breaks essential functionality I typically use at least once per day.

I can only wonder what kind of person thought that adding this was good idea.

If there is no option in settings to remove this QR scanner from the search/URL bar can this stupid change please be undone until there IS an option to disable it ? This is really annoying and is a deal-breaker afaic.

Many thanks! :)

Example shown, attached. I tried different search engines but this change is part of Firefox itself and it occurs irrespective of which search engine is selected.

I want to use Perplexity AI with the URL: https://www.perplexity.ai/ but I don't know how, but the system rejected it.

The sound input icon prevents me from typing the site name. I do not use voice input, much less use Google. The input field is small and it is not convenient to edit the name of the site where you are going to go and then voice input is distracting.

For some reason for the last year I haven't been able to search anything relevant to what I'm looking for some how someone has me hacked and Firefox is the only browser I can get through to I've bought new phones at first it works then a couple days later the same things happens with the new phone that happened with the last phone. Please can someone help?
