Tega članka se ne vzdržuje več, tako da je njegova vsebina morda zastarela.

This article applies only to an experimental version of Firefox for Android (Beta/Nightly formerly called Firefox Preview) that's no longer supported. Please download the supported version of Firefox for Android at the Google Play store

Firefox Preview gives you the ability to set a default search engine. There are a variety of search engines to choose from such as Google and Bing. You can also manually add other search engines and set them as your default.

Manually add search engines

  1. Tap the menu button. Settings icon in address bar in android

  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Search from the Basics section.
  4. Tap Add search engine.
    A list of additional predefined search engines display.
  5. Tap the Other radio button to add a search engine that hasn’t been included in the predefined list and do the following:
    • Enter the search engine’s name in the NAME text field.
    • Enter a search string URL in the SEARCH STRING TO USE text field.
Please be sure to replace the query string with “%s”. For example, https://www.google.com/search?q=%s. If you don't know which search string to use for a particular search engine, you can access its website in a new tab, do any search and use the resulting URL as a reference. For example, if you go to ecosia.org and search for firefox, the resulting URL will be https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=firefox. Then the search string must be https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=%s, replacing the query with "%s". If the search string URL is flagged as invalid, an error message will display so that you can provide a valid URL.

The search engine is added to the predefined list of search engines in alphabetical order.
