Hello. I have a problem with turning off google safesearch. I'm 28 years old so it's not a problem with google acc. I have same firefox on pc and on laptop. On pc and on smarthphone it's easily turning off and if i'm using edge or chrome on laptop it's also turned off, but if i'm using firefox exactly on google it's always turned on no matter what i'm do. Just in case, if i'm using for example bing search in firefox it's also turned off, likely it's always turned when i'm using google with combination in firefox. Methods that I already tried: 1) Turned off in computer settings (not worked) 2) Reinstalled browser (not worked) 3) Checked in my wifi settings (not worked) 4) Updated everything (not worked) Waiting for your help.

What about the Settings button bottom right of the G search page? Search Settings > SafeSearch off.

Maybe the safe search is locked on. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/510

I think it's kind of bug in firefox. Because in my google account when you login in on other devices safe search turned off. It's on only in firefox on my laptop. Also on the laptop if i go to google through chrome or edge it's turned off.

Problem looks like the same as here >> https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/forum/bing_safety-bing_safesearch/turning-off-safe-search-with-it-reverting-back-to/66a1d9bf-8cd8-449f-9a51-aa8064a577b3?messageId=40dc0b27-da90-40bf-984c-475a883cfdc3 but this fix don't work on google.

I'm using Windows 10 and I had this problem even though in the every setting I could find I had it turned off I fixed it by allowing edge to be my default browser so windows will limit that and I can use Firefox freely that seemed to fix the issue
