Please bring back 100 search results per page functionality
Yet another sterling example of why change is usually bad. Why did Firefox, Google and other browsers (though don't know about Duck Duck Go) drop the 100 results per page option? I've always had that enabled and now that it was removed it makes searching extremely tedious and time wasting. Please offer a SIMPLE AND QUICK way to restore this option ASAP. Thank you.

You can add the "&num=100" parameter to the URL. There is also the '&udm=14' to disable AI.

Possible bookmarklet:
javascript:(function() {let url = new URL(window.location.href);if (!url.searchParams.has('num')) {url.searchParams.set('num', '100');window.location.replace(url.href);}})();
I am not a coder and even if I knew how or where to insert those lines would doing any of that result in permanent restoration of the browser's 100 results per page setting through a one time action? I'd guess that it wouldn't. I began using FireFox long ago specifically because it was not Microsoft or Google. Why not do the right thing and'' PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS?'' Give users the original choice of variable results per page.
AND please do this simply via a forthcoming FireFox update.
And soon, please.
Thank you.
why this is not put as default value when so many users ask this 100 visible search results
What search engine to you use? The default in most of the world is Google, and once Firefox sends your query, the number of results is up to Google. I don't know why Google completely changed their search preferences page, that's probably discussed on Google forums.
As noted above, if &num=100 is added to the end of the URL and resubmitted, Google will show 100 results. After that, as you re-use the results page for other searches, the 100 remains in effect.
I don't think it would make sense to make this the default for all Firefox users, since the default has always been 10 results for users who didn't go into Google search preferences and change the value there.
But it could be made more convenient with an add-on, or with a personal "smart keyword bookmark" as described in the below article:
Adding &num=100 after the URL in a search I just did now did return a full page of results. But doing another search immediately afterwards but without adding &num=100 did not retain that change. How long would it take an add-on developer to write code to make this happen? I think you should do it..............just kidding.

Were you using the search bar in the results page? That's how I tested.

If you mean did I paste &num=100 at the end of the URL or statement I was searching in the address bar, then yes i did.
Am I supposed to remember to paste &num=100 at the end of the URL or statement with every search? How stupid is this?
Would or those those Mozilla turkeys please fix this problem-which should never have happened if they didn't FIX WHAT WASN'T BROKE!!!
You can use a keyword bookmark (e.g. 'gn') that adds the &num=100 parameter to its URL field.
You type the keyword and a space followed by the search terms to invoke the search (gn firefox).
Nope, I don't get it. A video tutorial might help. BETTER YET: Why on earth can't Mozilla do the right thing and put back the selectable 100 results feature in the next browser upgrade???
This is a feature that Google decided to stop exposing it in their search settings, there is nothing that Mozilla can do. You can search the MyCroft project website to see if they offer a suitable search engine
You can read about using a keyword in the article that was linked above by JScher2000. In your case you need to create a new bookmark and paste the URL in its URL field. The '%s' in the URL is used as a placeholder for extra parameters supplied by you.
