I'm in my Gmail app on Android (Samsung 9 running Pie).

I long-tap on a word.

I choose "Web Search”. The three options I see are "Opera", "Google" and "Internet".

Hi

I have treied this myself and I can see what you mean. I also have Firefox Preview installed (the Nightly version) and does appear in that menu for you to use. I recomend that you give it a try.

thanks, seburo. I hope this means that one day the regular Firefox app will show up in the "Web Search" menu.

Hi

Yes, as Firefox Preview progresses I do expect this to be the case.
