Hello.

In about:config the keyword.enabled false does not work anymore.

So how on earth do we stop this stupid search option in the url bar. When i open a new tab, i'll get on a firefox tab. In the middle I can search (in the search bar), but after typing 1 letter, the search is moved to be in the address bar. WHY????

How to stop this madness?

Thank you for an answer

So I moved locations temporarily and brought my laptop with me. I have never enabled Firefox to clear cookies or cache or history when closing a session. For whatever reason though, when I opened Firefox back up after settling into my new location, it purged all login information and any cookies and cache that had been saved up until that point. This made my experience very frustrating, as I had to login to multiple different sites and while that practice in itself is not world-ending, I should not have to do that if I specifically instructed Firefox not to do so. I just do not want it to happen again, if I can afford it.

Is this due to an update? Is it due to me changing locations? I already tried looking up the answer to it, but all I have found is to disable the settings I referred to earlier, so there isn't anything obvious that I am missing (at least I hope not...). I would appreciate the support. Thank you.

I often save to PDF or mark text then transfer it into a document. Firefox renders many letter combinations as ligatures: ff, fi, ffi, fl, and more. I don't want ligatures. The cures proposed have involved forbidding pages to use their own fonts. Is there another way?

I pay Aura to monitor all my activity and accounts and save my passwords. The extension is there, but there is no longer a shortcut. There was previous to your last update. I can find nowhere in manage extensions to change this. If I cannot have this extension shortcut, then I will no longer be able to have Firefox as my home screen. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me out with this issue.

After a Windows 11 update, every time I play some video/sound and stop the playback, my whole computer audio doesn't work anymore. When I reset my computer, the audio comes back again. I tried using other browsers (Edge, Chrome, etc.) and other programs/applications, but this only happens in Firefox.

Any ideas on what can I do to solve this issue?

Basic information:

Firefox version: 133.0.3 (64-bits) Operation System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language OS Version: 10.0.26100 Compilation 26100 Computer Brand: Alienware m16 R2 Sound drivers: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. version 6.0.9738.1

Whenever I take a screenshot in Windows 10 with HDR on, on the latest version of Firefox, using either print screen, snipping tool, or Snip and Sketch, Firefox will wash out like the image provided. Nothing else washes out like this when taking screenshots with these tools, and will appear the proper color.

When I type "maps" into the address bar search, it will automatically fill in whichever website containing the word "maps" in the URL when I press enter. Is there a way to turn off this behaviour without taking those suggestions out of the search altogether? I just want to be able to type in "maps" into my address bar and be taken to google maps when I press enter, not to go to whatever site I have visited before that uses maps. Currently I have to type out my search and then press an arrow key or backspace to ensure it's a google search. I still WANT to have those suggestions in the dropdown menu for selection, but I DON'T want it to autocomplete a URL for me when I just want to go to google maps.

Some websites I subscribe to such as one on history, have pop up videos pertinent to the subject, but when I ask them, they say they know nothing about it. How can I block ALL pop up videos from everywhere?

In Gmail, when I try to attach a file, the Firefox upload window opens. It used to have a sidebar on the left (see picture from another computer) with a directory, including the option "Quick access." That is gone now, and I don't see any setting to restore it, not can I find any instructions online on how to restore that sidebar.

I have to use ctrl - many time to see everything on my screen. I promise, I didn't change anything, just updated. I'm not super literate about things like this and my IT husband has gone onto his next adventure. I'm hoping for a simple fix. Thanks.

When I'm saving a bookmark, I have a choice with one click between the last seven folders that were used to save bookmarks previously. Where can I increase that number to however many fit my screen (i.e. define another number by myself?)

I would also be happy to remove the "Bookmarks toolbar," "Bookmarks menu" and "Other bookmarks" shortcuts that stick at the top of that same menu, as I never use them and they only take space. Only "Other bookmarks" might come into use very rarely, if I have no idea how to classify a certain bookmark and I decide to temporarily put it there.

I'm on OpenSuse Leap 15.6 with KDE Plasma 5.27.11, Mozilla Firefox 128.5.1esr
