Have new W11 laptop. Installed Firefox and have set it to my default browser but if I use the search box it opens the results in Edge. Where is the setting to enable W11 search box to use Firefox.

Well this is embarrassing.... You are right..that 'Search" section in W11 is for searching your files/folders/etc on your computer--NOT the internet. You have to open the internet with Firefox and search from there..I have my home page set to Google so that is easy. Don't know where my brain was trying to do this..
