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 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?

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.

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'm gradually moving from BlueMail to Thunderbird. BM lets me create new folders (I use "hold" and "action") to which I move things I've read and want to keep until downloaded to Thunderbird on my PC. Other stuff goes to trash and (along with spam) gets deleted. This program's documentation SAYS you can create "new subfolders" but I can't find out how. "Manage folders" doesn't seem to help.
