The Mozilla Team - Not only has Google taken over Mozilla Thunderbird Emailer but it has taken over Mozilla/Firefox and Ubuntu , too - Why? Everything Search is done via Google instead of Linux DuckduckGo - Why?? It is timely for us Users of Mozilla and its ?Private? Browser to have available on PC desktop - "spam free" IT - isn't it. Yet Google rules the roost with its overwhelming multitude of algorhythmic spam, here, too. We Users have financed Mozilla because it has had ad-blockers - so how has Google gained control in Firefox > ??? Why?? We've been badly deceived and let down !!! We expect FirefoxFocus to be ad-free as a Desktop Browser !! It is said - Those that treat with mine enemy are mine enemy, too - In anticipation of "change" - User "bodhi64".

Hi

Google has not taken over Thunderbird, Mozilla or (as far as I am aware) Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu.

In all Mozilla products you can change the default search engine to one of your choosing.

This article will walk you through how to change the default search provider in Firefox Focus for iOS.
