When I do a search in the recently downloaded Firefox focus, I am still directed to google. Is that how Firefox focus works.? And I thought I would be searching the Internet through Firefox and nothing would be going through Google. The default search engine is still set for Ecosia and there is no option to use Firefox. Did I do something wrong here or is that the way this works?

Firefox Focus is a web browser. Mozilla does not have a search engine of their own like Ecosia, Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo etc are.
