I appreciate your help and I want to thank you. But I just wanted to make it clear (in my mind), I have Firefox browser but it is not a search engine? I can/should & or need to use like Google or one of the other ones. Is this correct? I'm not very tech savvy. Oh, I wanted to let you know, I have my android phone S24 that I use, but I also have 2 laptops. One is an IOS 11 and the other one is an IOS 10. Does that make a difference?

BING Search Hijacking Google Searches

Google is the only search engine I've selected for my Firefox Android browser. Often in the last month or so – after I type a search term into the omnibox at the top of my Firefox browser page – a "bing.com" results page opens. In fact, after I tried the words 'bing hijack' in this Mozilla Help page's own dedicated search box (NOT the browser's omnibox) another 'bing.com' page opened with search results This has happened in two different mobile devices that are synced to the same Firefox account. I do use the uBlock extension so I added the bing URL to the "My Filters" list, and my browser is always set for 'Strict' tracking protection. Is there any way to defeat this nonsense?

I'm not sure what to do about my search engine? It's telling me I have a new private tab, but the search bar tells me it's Google. when I choose what search engine I want to use in my settings, I only have the choices that are listed. But what about my Firefox browser, the one that I want to use and the one that I thought I was getting/would have?

On my new samsung A55 installed Firefox for android and when opening a new tab, searching in the main search bar (preference is set to google) and then selecting the google search result, instead of the page opening up, a new tab opens up with the same search results. Any way to fix this?

Hello guys !!

Is there any way to remove the address bar icons (reading mode, translate, share) ??

Even without showing the "https" and/or the "www' the address is very small and these icons making it worse.

Navigation buttons inconveniently at the bottom of the screen

I can't find a way to move the navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen, where they shouldn't be, to the top of the screen. Tab selection should go back to the top, too. Am I just missing something? Can I do something in about:config?

Imagine always having access to navigation buttons at the top of the screen. You even downloaded an app that put system UI buttons at the top of the screen, too! It agrees with your rapidly aging joints because it's easier to have your hands closer to their default orientation.

Look at your hand right now. What orientation is it in? Did you look at the side of your pointer finger and your thumb? No. You likely looked at your palm. Furthermore, many blind people who use phones will type with accessibility features that often result in their hands being in the default orientation. The screens will be facing away and they'll use 6 or 8 fingers on the touchscreen to type.

Having navigation buttons at the top of the screen can be more accessible to some people because it is more compatible with the default orientation of the human hand. (Also disappointed that I can no longer put Gboard most of the way up the screen. But that's a problem that won't get fixed because Google is too big to have useful support and dev teams)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. The support website dumped me here.

Ummm don't forget to uhh [generic advice here] because it's good for stuff and things :)

First Of All, Thank you for such a wonderful Browser. I have been using Firefox Mobile for a while now. Everything is perfect for my needs. Except for one thing.

Less Number Of Search Suggestions.

Firefox Mobile shows less number of search suggestions. So, I tried to check in Firefox Focus. I used Google as my Only Search Engine in both Firefox Mobile and Firefox Focus. I have enabled every search suggestions settings in both. While searching for anything in search bar, Firefox Mobile shows only 3 suggestions for my search whereas Firefox Focus shows 10 suggestions. Even Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly shows 3 Suggestions. This is stopping me from using Firefox Mobile. I can't switch to Firefox Focus as there is no support for Extensions.

If it's a mistake from my side, Please, Suggest Me, what do I need to do to get Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions in Firefox Mobile.

If it's an issue in Firefox Mobile, Please, Fix it as soon as possible.

I want Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions on Firefox Mobile. I wish to Donate to Firefox Mobile and continue my journey with it. Please, Help Me With This.

Your Humbly Firefox Lover.

None of the online instructions work. None. Why must it be impossible or so inhumanly difficult to simply disable the annoying and privacy-violating “Firefox suggestions” in the Firefox address bar on the iOS? When will you finally realize and accept that people should be able to use Firefox in social situations without having everyone around see one’s search history? Is this really difficult to understand? It seems that the knuckleheads at Mozilla product development lack even the most basic understanding of the concept of privacy. And yet Mozilla advertises its product with empty promises of privacy.
