Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

• Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
• Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance

For months CNN articles are ruined by manipulated headlines (and more) to degrade Trump.

There is no such problem when browsing CNN with Safari.

EXAMPLE: Pond Scum’s ambition to retake the Panama Canal could have a heavy cost (January 21)

I resent my reading being compromised, and request that CNN remedy the situation.

I'm trying to move my profile from one PC to another because i have many opened tabs that i would like transferred upon opening the browser on the new PC. When attempting to transfer the profile from my external drive to the new PC, I receive the error "Destination Path too Long. The file names would be too long for the destination folder".

Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!

Just received the new update for Windows 11, and all of a sudden, the drop-down menus in search bar font became very small. Even with my reading glasses and window set at 200 Zoom in magnifier glass at four still have problems reading the drop-down menus and the search bar because of the size of the font.

In settings, I have all the font sizes set at 16. That is the ones that I can find to adjust any font size.

How do I resolve the problem or do I need to go to another browser?

As far as I can tell from reading the help pages, the Firefox translation feature should automatically translate any page in any available language, unless explicitly set not to do so. However, I observe that no translation occurs unless I first select text, right click, and select translate, and even then, the translation is presented as unformatted text in a separate dialog box, which is not much better than copying and pasting web pages into some other translator service. Am I missing something here?

Sadly, this is not even close to being competitive with the Google Translate level of functionality. I use Google Translate every day to read package labels in grocery stores, road signs, and a host of other written sources of information. Occasionally, I even use it to hold conversations with people I would not otherwise be able to talk to. So far, I am nearly monolingual, and I am unwilling to do without this; I probably wouldn't travel if it were not available. It does tie me to that fraction of the surface area of the earth where high speed internet access is generally available, but I don't really need to go any places where it is not; I am not trying to hike across Antarctica. I understand that there is a loss of privacy when dealing with Google, but I do whatever I can to fend that off, and the value of the free services I receive in exchange is huge. What's the future of Firefox in this respect?

Compact mode doesn't seem to work after I've updated to the latest Zen browser

Really loved that feature but both the tabs and the tool bar don't disappear like the used to, they just stay where the are.
