Use Contextual Search Shortcuts in Firefox
Tired of typing? Firefox has your back. It anticipates your next move, recalling frequented sites, past searches, and even those lingering tabs you meant to get back to. This memory boost means smarter suggestions, instantly connecting you to what you need, whether it’s a website you love, a search you started, or that crucial tab you almost forgot. Let Firefox do the remembering for you.
I had a digital déjà vu moment the other day. I’d just fired up a blog post on Android hacking apps, and then, without thinking, started typing “hacking apps” into the address bar. Firefox, in a stroke of eerie intuition, suggested the very tab I had just opened. It was like my browser was reading my mind, or maybe just knew I needed a little nudge in the right (or wrong?) direction.
Tired of irrelevant suggestions cluttering your Firefox address bar? Take control! Dive into yourSearch settingsvia the shortcut menu, then navigate toAddress Bar – Firefox Suggest. Uncheck the boxes beside the suggestions you find useless, and reclaim your browsing experience.
If you’re changing this to improve privacy, you may also want to disable on-device AI models in Firefox.
Easily See When a Site Isn’t Secure
Still seeing “HTTP” websites in the wild? It’s time for an upgrade! HTTPS adds a layer of encryption, scrambling your data to keep prying eyes out. Think of it as a digital cloak of invisibility. While a missing “S” doesn’t automatically scream “danger,” pump the brakes before sharing sensitive info (passwords, credit card numbers, social security) on any site stuck in the HTTP stone age. That little “S” is your first line of defense in the online jungle.
For secure sites, you’ll see a padlock and thehttpsportion is trimmed off the URL.
Tired of search hassles? Firefox just supercharged its address bar! Finding what you need is now lightning fast. Ready for a browser that gets you? Customize your New Tab page and make Firefox your own. Experiencing sluggish performance? Tame your CPU with these quick fixes.
