Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Google is the default search engine in Firefox. If you want to use a different search engine, just select a different search engine on the right side of the navigation bar. That setting should hold after you change it.

Isisombululo esiKhethiweyo

You can set a different home page if you do not want to see the built-in about:home page.

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply. Problem solved.
