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
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
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. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
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.

Safari does this and I hate that other browsers don’t. The plain text of my search doesn’t get replaced with a URL, so I can easily modify it with a keyboard shortcut and some typing (rather than clicking a field on the results page). This is a good feature to add.
Fennec on android has that, so presumably firefox on android does too.
Need to test it, but sounds weird.
What happens if you open many results with middle click? Or if you use duckduck go bangs? (If you don't know what they are, check then out. That alone makes it my default search engine)
DDG bangs are undoubtedly cool, but Firefox has that abiloty itself built-im
True, I remember using it in the past. But duck duck go works in every installation of every browser, while keeping in sync home (multiple devices, multiple browsers)/work(no Firefox allowed :()/phone it's a pain.
After you bang you’re sent on your way as usual
Don't care, I bang'd.
As in, they open in a background tab? I don’t believe the url bar persists the search terms when you go to a results page, just on the results page itself
That one I’m not sure about. If it keeps the text across an automated redirect it would just be a matter of modifying the bang again. You’d get redirected through DuckDuckGo again, but same end result.
Unless they’re programming the bar to pull the text directly from the results page DOM in which case the bang would likely be not be a part of the search terms in the address bar once you got to the results page.
