How can I use DuckDuckGo on my search, rather than Google?

Hello,

You can choose from different search providers such as Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo when you search the Internet using Firefox. To change the default search engine that Firefox uses:

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and choose Settings.
    • In older Firefox versions, choose "Options" (Windows) or "Preferences" (Mac, Linux) instead.
  2. Select Search in the left pane.
  3. In the Search settings panel that opens, go to the Default Search Engine section.
  4. Select a different search engine from the drop-down menu:
    Fx57DefaultSearchEngine

For more information, see Change your default search settings in Firefox.

Please note, some search engines/ web app search features are not available by default in this menu, they can be added by going to the search website and right-clicking the omnibar then clicking add (search name). This is not an issue for DuckDuckGo, as it is available by default, but good to know.

Let us know if this helps!
