I can't sure which cause trigger this problem. Malfuctioning on script engine? hovering or touch focus malfuction as click?

But somehow firefox keep redirect google search result page to one of search result page without any click or touch.

I've guessing extension or adfilter side malfuction to test those ALL OFF but even in pure state of firefox for android, it keep triggering same result.

Anyone gotta simmilar experience with me recently?

As example, when you search 'metroid dread' kind keywords, it keep redirect page to gamerant.com kind site, in other typical news keyword search, same thing happen.

Sometime just hovering or drag search result cause trigger, sometime just triiger without anybinputs.

Hi

Can you try this in Private Browsing mode and see if it happens there?

I think that the address is autocompleting based on your browsing history - you can change this in the Search part of the Settings menu (or clear your browsing history).

seems not, already off address autocompleting but same thing keep happening.

also there's no any website permission things in google search so.. i'm still confusing what cause these auto redirect without orders.

one thing sure is, i've never ever go in to gamerant.com so, if my 'metroid dread' google search result is redirected by those autocompletions, shouldn't be happen to redirect to gamerant.com cause there's no borwsing history in that webpage url.
