My first question is query as to why the Google symbol appears at the start of the search line, whenever I try and use Firefox as my web browser? I am concerned that I may have a virus or cache redirecting my Firefox app. My second question is how do I clear the cache on my 2020 iPad? Are the directions obtained from doing a web search do not seem to apply to the iPad screen set up. Your help would be appreciated. Kenneth Bewley.

Firefox is a web browser. Google in this case is a search engine. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-engine-firefox-ios https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-or-disable-search-engines-firefox-ios
