I wanted a different browser

Firefox Import and export settings

Hello.

I wanted to download Firefox as a way to get rid of Google. Only, when I installed Firefox, it says "Browse with Google or type in address." I do not want Google. I wanted to just install my visited sites and passwords and be done with it. I've uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it only to be the same thing. I was hoping to also grab the passwords from Microsoft Edge and have just Firefox.

What am I doing wrong? Please Help!

Maybe you just remove Google in Firefox's search engine list.

Firefox is a web browser and not a search engine. The Google you are seeing is perhaps as a default search engine being used in Firefox.
