I guess it's time to stop searching from the url bar (sorry, "awesomebar") and create a local html file as the startup and new tab page, with search boxes for all your fav engines. Just like the good old days.

- SoftTalker 2y agoI did that for years, then it became difficult as browsers didn't want to let you set a local file as your default home page (for "security reasons"). I now just have "Blank Page" set for my Homepage, new windows, and new tabs. I just tried setting a local file in Firefox and it seems to work again, so I may go back to that.

- prophesi 2y agoI was able to set a local file for new windows, but it looks like there's no built-in way to set a custom URL for new pages, not even in about:config (v125.0.3, Fedora). :/ I may have to simply use the URL bar with data collection opted-out, as I'd rather not bother with vetting and installing a custom open source extension to override the new tab behavior.
