New Motorola android phone demands Google to get other browser

Hi, I just bought a Motorola android, as my good old Tesco phone was getting very creaky. I loaded my home Wi-Fi, but cannot find a page to type in a url to install a search engine and other internet sites. I’d like Firefox, but Google insists on being the 'Gatekeeper', and I must go through it to install Firefox.

How to type in my urls without permitting Google, and getting its intrusive parenting offering me masses of things I don't want? I'm not an expert - just a survivor who has 'got around' glitches since computers arrived in the Seventies. On my phone I just want telephone calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plus, Firefox to search the Internet.

I am sick of the moronic, toddler-aged toy apps which come pre-loaded on my new phone. I gave up 'Play stores', (Woolworths), when I became adult sixty years ago! Now this phone offers me apps like: "Candy Crush, Sugar Delight". Oh Please! I realise that seven-year-olds and early teens are the target phone markets, (parents resignedly footing the bills), but I'm past it (in every sense).

However, I'm not daft enough to delete Google in a hissy fit. It is so labyrinthine that disabling it can be severely punished for such disobedience.

I'm sure the solution is simple to you. Please tell me how!

Thanks, Clive.

P.S. The phone is obviously monitoring my searches! Quite disconcerting, for in the past hour it now presents me with a list of search engines to choose - but Firefox is not among them. God preserve us oldies from AI!

I appreciate that you are trying to improve Firefox, but your rapid pace of development is destabilizing. You need to slow the pace of development to consider changes more carefully and not ram them down our throats. And you need to do a much better job of quality control. You are destabilizing the browser. It works less well on multiple websites now than it did just a few months ago. You are in danger of losing my participation and support entirely. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

On multiple websites the keyboard on the samsung keyboard will cover the box that shows what you are typing. If you try to scroll down to try to see what you are typing the box either dissapears are is partially covered by a random part of the site. This only happens on firefox, chrome does not have this issue.
