On google search bar- where is the microphone, or dictation icon. How do I add it. I have windows 11 and using Mozilla firefox as my default web browser. I have search the settings and cannot find it. Please send instructions to add it to the bar. If I were to use chrome/google they have it and I know Firefox did have it. Thank you

Hi there,

I'm afraid it's not possible to add that icon to the New Tab page. One of the reasons is that Firefox supports many search engines with different features, and it would be hard to embed all of those features into Firefox UI. Chrome can do that for their own search engine, obviously.

What you can do, however, is searching for an extension that offers a custom New tab page with that feature.
