Mozilla will shut down Pocket’s services on July 8, 2025. At that time users will no longer be able to access the Pocket website, apps and API. You can export your saved items and API data until October 8, 2025 before they are permanently removed. For more information, see this article.

Hi

If you follow this support article to add a custom search engine:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android#w_add-a-search-engine

and use this as the search string:

https://www.perplexity.ai/?q=%s

...you will have Perplexity as the search engine in Firefox for Android.

adding a full custom search engine seems to be disabled by default. Found the solution in a forum that explains how to open the possibility to declare any engine in the search engines of Firefox : https://superuser.com/questions/7327/how-to-add-a-custom-search-engine-to-firefox/1756774#1756774

Hoping that Mozilla will add this (very usefull) option in the parameters soon ...
