Why has my default search engine changed and why does Firefox no longer support Yandex? Did you also introduce your own sanctions? Then I say goodbye to you! I think most users from Russia will do the same!

HI

Yandex has been removed as optional search providers in the drop-down search menu in Firefox. You can update and/or add search engines at any time in Settings. Click the Menu button, select Settings and click Search.

I did all this, I click Search and there is no Yandex. How to add it then?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-engine-removal https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox You can also add Yandex search if you go to Yandex site and add it to search bar or you can go to https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=Yandex

Not true, among the proposed search engines there is no Yandex at all. It has been completely removed from Firefox. And I don't need a separate Yandex search bar, I need Yandex search by default! This is very bad on the part of the developers, it was you who arranged your sanctions against the Russian audience! I will stop using your browser and I think most in Russia will too. I want to hear from the Firefox team, what do they have to say?

The Yandex search engine was simply removed as one of the defaults in the Firefox locales that came with it before as different locales have different defaults. Yandex was one of search engine defaults for only Russia, Turkey, Belarus and Kazakhstan. China had Baidu and Google was the main default for rest of the world locales.

I simply said you can still add it back if you want it. You can also still go to the Yandex website to search just same.

The search bar is a bar that you can have a list of search engines to switch between whether you use the defaults or any search engines you add yourself, including Yandex. It is Not a completely separate toolbar if that is what you thought. Look at the article I linked. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox

Also this is a community forum as I am not with Mozilla so Firefox is not my web browser and I never arranged or removed anything. Also the Firefox developers do not have the time to comment in random threads on this forum.

How can it be added back? I didn't find a way. It has been completely removed, and Yandex is not in the choice of search engines. And how to contact the developers? All normal programs have support and feedback. And I have already switched to the default Yandex browser, goodbye Firefox.
