Firefox Focus Community Forum

Please help me resolve the following problem: When using a physical keyboard attached to iPad, when I tap in the Search bar of Firefox Focus, I am unable to enter any text because the keyboard focus does not remain in the search bar. I have found the following workarounds: If the browser has a page already loaded, I need to tap the Delete icon in Firefox Focus in order to clear the page. Or, if I temporarily detach my physical keyboard, then I can use the Search bar as expected. After doing either of these things, the Search bar works properly. (Note: The problem described above seems to have started happening with iPadOS 26. It did not occur in iOS 18). Thank you for your assistance.

I am trying to add a custom search engine of my choice for maximum efficiency, speed/privacy, etc, autonomy, preferably SwissCows.. it is a secure site to my knowledge and all references lead to it having been secure, have searched it multiple times, no problem whatsoever, however browser is having some problems with detection when I input it in settings. If any staff onboard your teams could assist, I have not yet gotten this chance to take a screenshot, but I can also do that in a soonest reply I can.. I have been using the link provided on site for the search engine of Swiss Cows (as I said it's not as well known of a site, but it's a very secure one and smaller Swiss based focused company.. and even as well as, https, privacy focused, so yeah I guess.. maybe,, focus may not detect such types of search engine format in addresses alone quite yet.

For your ease of use to save you time, below is that private search engine I mentioned.
