It has everything to do the browser feature known as "custom search engines", which is a URL replacement capability that was never limited to actual search engines.

As I said before, Mozilla is going to merge your bookmark keywords with custom search engines: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1650874

That's by design:

This feature is separate from the about:profiles experience, and we currently have no plans to change how about:profiles works. You may continue to use about:profiles if that is better for your workflow.

These so-called "hardening scripts" cause a lot of issues and volunteers have to waste their time helping clueless users who copied them without understanding what they do.

Disabling anonymous telemetry just harms the project. It doesn't give you any "privacy" benefit.

Browsers discard tabs by default, but only when your system is running out of memory. You can use Auto Tab Discard to discard all or most tabs automatically after a certain time.

Use this extension created by a Mozilla employee: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/chrome-mask

Chrome has always had the capability of adding custom search engines. They are just not entangled with your bookmarks.

Firefox is actually going to remove this feature from bookmarks, and you'll have to create new engines from this page: about:preferences#search

If you want them to fix it:

1) Generate a profile performance with https://profiler.firefox.com/

2) Submit the link with your results to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Updates aren't supposed to reset any setting. Submit a bug report for them to fix whatever is doing that for you: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

File an issue on Bugzilla with your latest crash ID to help the developers fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Power users interested in this niche feature can use a script: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1m594nv/multi_tab_...

The new profile manager has already been enabled for most users.

If you don't see it in the main menu yet, type `about:config` into the address bar and toggle `browser.profiles.enabled`.

Thank you for loving Firefox - https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/m/m-p/16863/highl...

I agree. I posted a link to Old Reddit accidentally.

Anyway, I've decided to delete that post. I'm going to repost it somewhere else with better formatting.

Add this to your uBlock Origin filters:

NoScript is a relic of the past and redundant with uBlock Origin - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

That'd be pointless, since Firefox already isolates third-party cookies and site data by default now.

puNES also deserves more attention. It is highly accurate and supports obscure mappers and Famicom Disk System games (being the only emulator that plays the QD format): https://github.com/punesemu/puNES

When a site doesn't work properly, please use this form to notify Mozilla: https://webcompat.com/issues/new

He's not asking about the User-Agent string sent to websites.

He's asking about how the browser identifies itself to the Windows operating system. According to him, other forks say simply "Firefox," which makes it impossible to run them alongside the official Firefox release.
