When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

I can open Firefox and it works fine on my (admin) user account, as it has for years.

Starting today, when my wife is logged in on her account/user on the Mac, when trying to open Firefox there is a prompt "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool" and requests the admin name and password. I authorized yes to install the helper tool, and then the Firefox icon bounces on the dock indefinitely and Firefox is "not responding" and never opens. If I force quit and try again, I get the same prompt to install the helper tool and the cycle begins again.

I think this started after I updated a BitWarden extension on Firefox on my wife's account, but not sure if that is what provoked the problem. The same Bitwarden extension exists on Firefox on the admin account, and that Firefox works fine.

What I have tried so far: Shut down all BitWarden apps. Refreshed Firefox on the admin account - which deletes the BitWarden extension. Moved Firefox to the trash. Restart the computer. Re-install Firefox from the admin account (Firefox again works just fine when admin is the user). But Firefox still does not work when another user (my wife) is on her account - same issue with asking to install a helper tool and Firefox never opens.

Hardware: MacBook Air M2, Seqouia 15.1

Any help is much appreciated.

CVE-2024-7528 is not closing on Rapid7/Nexpose re-scans for Windows 2012 R2 Servers. When the latest ESR package for Windows 2012 R2 is applied the vulnerability remains open even when using ESR version 115.17.0.

When I check the NVD it looks like the only vulnerable versions are <115.7.0. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-7528#range-13199073

Is this vulnerability resolved in any released version of ESR? In browsing the release notes for the past few ESR releases I'm not seeing it mentioned so curious if it's

Hello everyone,

Since updating to the latest version 128.4.3esr (64-bit), I’m having trouble with external content not displaying in emails. Even though I’ve enabled the option under "Privacy" > "Email Content" > "Allow Remote Content in Messages", external content is still generally blocked.

Every time I receive a new email, I get the message: "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message."

In the previous version, this worked without any issues, and I didn’t have to manually allow content for each email. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this, or is this perhaps a bug in the current version?

Thanks in advance for any help! 😊

I'm on version 131 on Linux. Even if I clear the hisotry entries in Ctr+H or Library Window->History tab, the search bar history still remains and I can view all my searches by clicking in the search bar and typing Ctr+Z. This history is only cleared when I close the browser and open it back up again.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

How can I just straight up disable this search bar history and how can I clear it without doing Clear Browsing data and cookies -> Everything?

Hallo Wenn ich in Firefox eine Seite Öffne kommt sofort eine Betrugsversuchsmeldung von meinem Bitdefender Internet Security Programm. Inzwischen fast 500 mal seit 14 Tagen. Es handelt sich immer um die selbe Seite.

Habe die Seite am Router Und im PC  gesperrt. Hat nicht geholfen. Außer 2 Abstürze in den vergangenen Tagen kann ich jedoch keine Fehler oder sonstiges feststellen. Schon seit längerer Zeit kann ich mit Fierefox nicht mehr auf mein Bitdefender Central einwählen.

Hier die Copy der Meldung.
