Why use Mozilla Firefox if you can't set it as the default search engine?

Hello A similar discussion https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1599492

''<p> [[#question-1601142|said]]</p>'' <blockquote>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? </blockquote> 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.
