Firefox na iOS Community Forum

I have an issue with search on version 144.1 (iPadOS 26.0.1 and iOS 18.7.1), where my default search engine selection (Kagi) in Firefox's settings are not respected, and will randomly change if I enter a search term in the address bar.

Hi,

I really want to replace Google search engine with Firefox. I already have the Firefox app installed but i have a Google search engine. I don’t want Google anymore. How do I replace it? Can you please explain any advice to me like I’m 5, as I have a mild cognitive impairment and am not very tech savvy.

Hi- with the most recent update to firefox mobile for iOS- I have lost the ability to quickly toggle between search engines. I prefer to use duck duck go but sometimes the results just aren’t what I need and I have to go to google. But now I am not seeing that option. Did it go away? Can I give feedback that this is much more clunky and likely to force me to default to google instead??? Thank you!

I have several search engines setup and have been using them without any problems. Now with iOS 26 and Firefox 143.0.1 (61598), I’ve lost the ability to select the engine when typing in the address bar. But I found that it works fine when I set the address bar to display on the bottom. Did iOS 26 break this?

I signed up to use Firefox to avoid Google. I hate how they track you and hate their politics. Then I find out Mozilla uses Google. Suggestions please. I have 5 email accounts (none g mail) and want to search without Google. Will stop using Firefox. Sure looking like one huge corporation owns everything.

Trying to leave as many of the tech bros as I can. I have come back to FireFox. Now I need to add Duck Duck Gob to my start up page. Also Google just keeps reinserting itself.

I want to disable the search-from-address-bar function. If I attempt to use the config editor, then I type about:config in the address bar BUT it does not open the config editor. Instead it displays search results related to the config editor.

None of those search results is the CONFIG EDITOR

ARGHHHHHH

During the configuration of my iPad, I noticed that there is no option to add a custom query URL, like it exists under Android. Therefore, after adding the custom search engine (and when it's chosen) the search suggestions are missing. While I know that there are technical limitations regarding Firefox on IOS/IPadOS, I don't think/hope that this is one of them.

Hi,

I am trying to add Brave as the search engine on the Firefox settings in iOS, however, I continue to receive an error message stating “Please fill all fields correctly” I am using the below URL:

https://search.brave.com/search?q=%25s&source=desktop

And

search.brave.com or https://search.brave.com

But none are working and I continue to get the same error message

Looking to disable Google iOS app from opening when I use the search/address bar at the top of the Firefox iOS browser. I like having the app for using photo search, but other than that, I prefer searching in the browser window. If this is not possible to disable, can it be built in to future Firefox updates? Thank you.

I have identified Firefox as default browser, I have deleted duck duck go app from my iPhone. It still comes up when I search unless I search from this app. How do I get it off my iPhone? I've been working on this for weeks. Thank you, Melinda Geisler

iOS Firefox, using DuckDuckGo as search engine. When Firefox refreshes after a pause in browsing, instead of going to DuckDuckGo, it goes to "www6.duckduck.com/lander…" which advertises online games etc. Why does this happen?
