Startpage search from address bar isn't private unlike search from Startpage website

When searching from the Startpage website, the search phrase is private, meaning the search phrase is not visible in the web address or URL after searching. But when searching Startpage from the address bar, it's not private and visible in the web address/URL.

Is there any way to make search terms private when searching using Startpage from the address bar? Thanks.

Found a way to get the Nova compact mode on pre-Nova UI

(Marked as Discussion since I didn't find any better flair)

I found a way to get the compact mode from nova to the old UI.

Requirements: A version of Firefox with Nova (157+) (Librewolf is also supported!)

What to do:

  1. Enable Nova, if not done already (browser.nova.enabled in about:config set to true, For Librewolf: Settings > Appearance > Enable the Nova Redesign)
  2. Go to Settings > Appearance and set "Window Density" to "Compact"
  3. Disable Nova in about:config (Librewolf users can use the settings option mentioned above)

You now got compact mode in the old UI!

(Firefox devs, please don't 'fix' this, thank you!)

Question.

I am new to librewolf just downloaded it and never used it before. The browser was locked to 60fps and it bothered me so I was trouble shooting and found that turning privacy.resistFingerprinting to false fixed it and let my browser go to 240hz. Now does privacy.resistFingerprinting really matter? Is it important to have enabled?

Migrating Windows 11 -> CachyOS

How do I migrate my settings from my current installation of Windows to a fresh installation of CachyOS (Arch based I think if that matters) I have an external HDD that I'm using to store my important data, and I can upload to a google drive or whatever cloud storage if need be. I just don't want to spend four billion years getting everything set back up the way I like. Thank y'all :3

Can't remove soundclound webapp created by firefoxpwa

So i installed firefoxpwa and the pwa extension on Librewolf and i decided to uninstall everything( except that i didnt remove the webapp before uninstalling the extension and app) because i figured out firefox has their own webapps, but after i delete everything and asked AI ways to remove it, I still cant seem to get rid of it, even if the app wont open, it stills bothers me, I use arch-caelestia shell and dots and they have their own app-launcher idk if that matters. Thanks
