How do I get back Google Search on Firefox and get rid of Wikepedia Search
Until 3 or 4 days ago my search engine on Firefox was Google. Suddenly a few days ago it was held hostage by Wikepedia and anytime I want to search up comes Wikepedia with little to no info except byon Wikepedia itself. I would like to get rid of that and go back to google if possible

Hi! Here's how you can change your default search engine: You can choose from different search providers such as Google or Bing when you search the Internet using Firefox. To change the default search engine that Firefox uses:
- Open the Search settings panel using one of these methods:
- If you have the Search bar enabled, click the magnifying glass on the Search bar and click Change Search Settings, as shown here:
- Alternatively, click the menu button and choose Options (on Windows) or Preferences (on Mac or Linux) then select Search on the left.
- In the Search settings panel that opens, select a different search engine from the drop-down menu:
For more information, see the articles Search with the Firefox Address Bar, Add or remove a search engine in Firefox and Change your default search settings in Firefox.
Let us know if this helps!
If you meant on Android instead of Windows 10 (your browser identified itself as running on Windows 10, but your question was posted under Android), see: Manage my default search engines in Firefox for Android.
