I have just swapped to a new Android phone and when I try to search using my Firefox app, it comes up with Google. Is this right? Also, even though I have Firefox as my default browser on my laptop, when I open a link in email, it comes up on a Microsoft Edge page?

Hi Sally

Firefox Focus for Android uses Google as it's default search engine.

I am not sure what you mean about the Edge issue - this meat be a question for the Microsoft Edge support team.

I hope that this helps.
