I have just updated Mozilla/Firefox and opted for the VPN option. Mac desktop, MS Tahoe up to date, my nominated browsers are Firefox, Duck Duck Go and Safari.

So when I go to start my first search, why am I offered a window to type in my query which invites me.... search with GOOGLE...??? I want nothing more to do with gurgle, I have gone to lengths to avoid those bolld suckers.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi, Firefox is a browser, not a search engine. If you don't like Google Search, you can switch it to anything else, like Bing or DDG, see Manage Firefox search settings.
