Firefox is my default browser. When I search, why do I see Google in the search box? It confuses me. Help me understand.

I want to get as far away from Google as I possibly can. What is Duck Duck Go? Opera?

Hi Barry

Thank you for your question, I hope I can help.

Firefox for Android is a web browser - software that helps you to access web pages on your mobile device.

Google is a service that helps search the web. Firefox for Android has Google set as the default search provider.

Firefox for Android lets you choose your own search experience. Here's how to add, remove and set a default search engine in just a few taps:

I hope that this helps.
