Hello firemoom,

Use Firefox Assistant

How to use Firefox Assistant

1. Add the Firefox Assistant widget to your home screen. Tip: You can also start Firefox Assistant by swiping up (on Google Play edition devices) or pressing down on the on-screen home button (all other devices).

2. Tap Firefox Assistant when prompted to select a default browser.

Tip: Tap ALWAYS at the bottom to prevent this prompt from displaying again.

3.Start searching!

Instant search suggestions

As you type in your search, Firefox gives you improved instant suggestions by grouping similar searches together. You can use your virtual keyboard or click the microphone icon to enter search keywords.

Thank you!

Hi firemoon108, could you explain what you mean by instant search?

I can believe in pretty fast search, but I don't think anything is instant. ;-)

Do you mean the Quick Find feature to search text or links on web pages ?

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Browsing: Search for text when you start typing
