I'm not a fan of how some options are enabled by default, in Settings > Search > Address Bar - Firefox Suggest. The options which appear to be enabled by default are:

• Suggestions from Firefox
• Suggestions from sponsors

Mozilla rolls out Firefox 140 ESR with fresh features

That in turn means that the end of the line for some legacy OSes is creeping nearer. The previous ESR, Firefox 115 from July 2023, was the last version for Windows 7 and 8.x as well as macOS 10.13 "High Sierra" and 10.14 "Mojave." That old Firefox is still in maintenance. The latest point release, Firefox 115.25.0, appeared on June 23 – so those old PCs and Macs still have a reasonably safe current browser for now. As we reported when version 128 came out, the team is keeping 115 alive as long as they can. One estimate says that the 2023 ESR will get updates until this coming September.

Good spot. Just switched them off on my Firefox.

Personally not a fan of the "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages" either - I like to see the whole original URL. At least it is pretty easy to setup things how you want though.
