Keywords are stripped from Firefox. I use this feature quite a bit.  Needs to be fixed.   I saw a report on this from 5 years ago on the Android forum.   I have a whole section of searches set up for searches from everything from UPS to Google to Facebook.   Chrome implements this a little bit differently so they don't need to be sent to chrome browsers however they should be sync'ed from one Firefox to another.

Allow user to choose search engine. Not ever one wants to use bing

I have been researching this all day and have yet seen a solution.

I saw on that was suppose to work with an about:config setting however it wasn't available so added it and it didn't work even after restarting Firefox.  It was over on the FVD Speed Dial - Chrome forum however Chrome doesn't have about:config and the closest thing that Chrome has is about:flags.

I don't even have bing as installed search engine on my Firefox.

I saw where some said modify the hosts file so that it redirects to Google.   It did redirect however Firefox saw a SSL certificate issue and blocked access to Google.  I looked at the config stuff for FVD Speed Dial to see if I could figure out where it was calling to Bing and could not find it.

This is been go on for over 6 years.   It is time to fix it,   A simple solution is to use the default search engine for the browser.  I have used an extension that had weather and search bar as well as a random image and a quote.  It uses whatever the default search engine is for Chrome.  If I had it set to the search engine to Duck Duck Go, the extension used it.  Likewise if I had the default search engine set for The Internet Archive, it use it.   I like usually use either Google or The Internet Archive most of the time.

Thank you,

Добрый день, долгий запуск после первого запуска браузера, это очень плохо. Оптимизируйте, что бы открывалась мгновенно после запуска браузера. Спасибо.

Good afternoon, a long run after the first launch of the browser, it is
very bad. Optimize that would open instantly after starting the browser.
Thanks.

With the extension installed Firefox always opens up on the wrong monitor at first start.
