Why use Mozilla Firefox if you can't set it as the default search engine?
I thought installing Foxfire would let me set it as my default search engine! However, I can't set it as my default, and I can't use DuckDuckGo because it doesn't have password manager extensions. Why bother installing Foxfire if you can't use it for default search engine?

Firefox is a web browser only and not a search engine site like qwant.com, google.com, duckduckgo.com, bing.com are.
Mozilla the makers of the Firefox web browsers does not have a search engine of their own.
To change the search engine used in Firefox see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox
