I can not find the Firefox Search Bar option - SOLVED

Post by Chelsea80 »

I have just done an internal update to Firefox 126.0.1 (32bit)

> Settings > Firefox Updates

I can not find the option to include the Search Bar

Am I missing something or has Firefox withdrawn this option?

OS = Signature 1.

Thanks

The search bar in Mozilla based browsers have changed to where the same search engine is used in the search bar as is declared the "default" in Preferences.
Many people now use the address bar to enter search queries rather than the separate search bar. You can choose to change what "bars"" are displayed by
right clicking on the bar area and see which ones you want.

Right click on the bar(try next to the Home icon). From the popup select 'Customise'. You can add/remove items as desired. Click Done at bottom when finished.

Right click on top of the browser window (the tool bar area) where it will bring up a menu.

Select customize toolbar....

Search should be one of the selections.

Drag and drop it in the toolbar area where you want it.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
