Dear team ,I was dissatisfied with my introduction period to Fire fox browser.

Tell me if I am using the system incorrectly ?

I downloaded only a few days ago and as I use an Apple iPad the result came on my desk top screen with several icons of various well known browsers including fire fox and Google chrome included .

However when I clicked on the fire fox icon to open what fire fox had to offer in the way of different from say Google chrome.My disappointment was every time I went to fire fox ,Google came up with all the normal avenues of the Google browser .I decided to make sure my default was set at Fire fox.

So in the end I began to think is the Google company managing to keep fire fox as a non entity.?

I will look forward to your response.

Many thanks William Brown

It sounds like the Google you are seeing in the Firefox web browser on iOS/iPadOS is as a Google search engine. Mozilla the makers of the Firefox web browsers does not have a search engine of their own.

You can change or install another search engine to use in Firefox if you do not want to use the Google search engine in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-engine-firefox-ios
