Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Is anyone else having Firefox hang when enabling the Addon - Google Search Fixer? Every so often I no longer will be able to do anything on the tab. I have to close tab and open a new tab then search again.

I removed the Addon and don't seem to be experiencing these issues since I removed it. I prefer the format with the addon enabled, so I am hoping there will be a fix. It's been doing this for about a week or so now.

I have experienced this same issue on my Pixel phone and Samsung Tablet.

Yeah I figured that is what is happening. If it wasn't happening consistently, it wouldn't bother me. It is tough for me to use the default layout of Google on Firefox.

For now I'll try to use the Pixel search bar on my phone for Google results and have the results open in Firefox. I am so used to searching for everything in the browser.
