I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I'm a 68 yr. old tech dummy. I want to change my search engine and I also need to find the address bar in order to do this.

Thank You for your help, time, and patience!

Hi ! Is there a way to remove the small microphone present in a address bar of Firefox on Android ? I keep clicking on it by mistake, and it result in a small sound, then I have to wait that the mike activated itself before being able to go back (and there is another small sound). I looked into the settings, but did not find a way to deactivate it... Thanks :)

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

I have downloaded Firefox for my default web browser. However I do not have a search bar unless I open up the app itself. How do I get a search bar without having to go through the app every time? Thank you for your help.

yes, althouth i have mozilla firefox as the default in my T moblile adroid.main settings, but when i click on mozilla app and do a search, default in address bar is Google?. do you have URL path so I can add it to the list.( e.g. we have Google Bing, Duck, Perplexity, etc, but No Mozilla Firefox to select). thank you

After much searching and guesswork, I've finally worked out that the "cross in a box" icon on the Firefox android search bar is to allow qr codes to be scanned. Maybe you could add a tool-tip for these more obscure icons?

Yes what is the official URL search link to add yahoo search engine so i can add yahoo search to my search url in the settings on my android phone. Thanks Graham
