FF 54 lost search bar

[rockh1]

The other day I noticed that the search bar was missing in FF 54. Is this version feature or did I mange to somehow turn it off?

Hi rockh1 !

You should be able to get the search bar back like this:

- open the menu (the button with three horizontal lines)
- choose "customize" (at the bottom)
- click and drag the search bar back to its proper place
- click "exit customize"

Does it work ?

[rockh1]

Yes. Thank you for the quick response. I looked the menu SEVERAL times but didn't realize the Search was something I could move.

Glad you got you got your search bar back !!!

mozilla is going to replace or remove (not sure) the search bar - since v5x it is possibleto use the address-bar for search with the chosen search engine in options. just type some search terms in and press enter - firefox will open the chosen search engine website with the results.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Has it also something to do with CLIQZ ? -> https://cliqz.com/en/whycliqz/human-web

Wow ! Thank you for that piece of information - never heard of it before !

Just went to 'check it out' and there even is an add-on for CLIQZ to work with Firefox :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search

But if I got it right : CLIQZ is a browser and search engine all in one - add an OS and they could beat Microsoft ........

Question though : has WHAT also to do with CLIQZ ???

[mightyglydd]

Mozilla, via 'middle man" Firefox, want to determine which search results THEY present to you?

[Brummelchen]

get cliqz here
https://testpilot.firefox.com

but i would bet it transports some telemetrie - i never like cliqz-browser because too much limited and truncated, why should i trust such extension?

[mightyglydd]

Indeed, as far as I'm concerned TestPilot 'extensions' are snoopware or worse.
