Forcing? I didn't realise Firefox were hardcoding this in now.


I chose not to receive updates to my search. Mozilla updated my search anyway. That's forcing. It's underhanded.

And now I have sponsored links when I open a new tab in Firefox, from Mozilla partners.

It's starting to stink. The Mozilla foundation is losing sight of their mission.


They are running a donation campaign right now. I hope you donated.


You literally can't type a search query in firefox without it asking you which engine you would like to use.


Unless you click "change search settings" (on that pulldown dialog) and deselect all the other providers.


Honestly, I'm really impressed with the UI of that little search box.
