I'm not sure what to do about my search engine? It's telling me I have a new private tab, but the search bar tells me it's Google. when I choose what search engine I want to use in my settings, I only have the choices that are listed. But what about my Firefox browser, the one that I want to use and the one that I thought I was getting/would have?

Firefox for Windows, Linux, macOS and mobile versions for Android and iOS/iPadOS is a web browser. The company Mozilla does not not have a search engine of their own.

A search engine is for example duckduckgo.com, google.com, bing.com etc.
