How to add Mozilla Firefox as a search engine on the android phone?

Firefox for Android Search

On my Android phone, I sm not able to select Firefox as a search engine in the list of available search engines in the drop down box because it is not listed. Why is this and how can I get it listed as a choice? I have Firefox installed and an account created. I am not sure exactly what the problem is. Thanks

Firefox is a browser, not a search engine. You will need to select a search engine from the list or add one of your own choice.

Mozilla the makers of the Firefox web browsers does not have a search engine site of their own. A search engine is for example qwant.com, google.com, duckduckgo.com, bing.com etc
