Hi, when you posted this question, your browser identified itself as Firefox, so you have the browser part solved.

Next is choosing your home page and the site to provide your search results. These articles have information on those settings:

Does that get Firefox working the way you want? If not, could you describe in a little more detail what you currently see on your home page and search results?

FYI, this is a End User help forum not a on-demand support ticket. It's all user help here only. Firefox when first installed has a default page with standard search engine but no Homepage or Default Search engine. For that setup the user chooses to set a homepage or homepage search url.

Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short is a web browser. A search engine would be say ex: DuckDuckGo.com, Bing.com, Google.com,
