Hi r/firefox 👋,

The address bar is one of the most prominent areas in any browser, and Firefox is no exception. Understanding its importance, the Firefox team has been working on a set of complementary features designed to improve discoverability and security of the Firefox address bar.

With this set of features landing in Firefox Beta 135, we need your expertise to help us test these enhancements by participating in this campaign, which will be live on January 9th!

The top 5 contributors will each receive a $50 voucher to shop at Mozilla’s swag stores as a thank-you for your efforts.

Have any questions about this campaign? Join us on Matrix or comment down below!

    so, now, Firefox detects if you are on a page that has search capability

    Didn’t Firefox have this years ago through OpenSearch and Mozilla removed it.

    Moving the shortcuts at the bottom of the URL bar dropdown into a more prominent position

    They’re moving always visible icons into a menu that takes an extra click. Years ago these used to be actual buttons that you could click to perform the search with that engine.

    It’s like they’re bragging about their feature regressions.
