W10 Desktop. I cannot see a way to ADD "TUSK" search engine in Firefox. When I click "Find more search engines", Firefox takes me to "ADD-ONS" where TUSK is not listed. How do I make TUSK my default FIREFOX SEARCH ENGINE, please & thank you??.....Pat

That site doesn't work for me at the moment:

https://www.tusksearch.com/search?q=firefox

The fastest way to add a site unfortunately isn't available. What you do is right-click the address bar on the results page and look for an item at the bottom of the menu to add the site. They don't have that yet. Feel free to ask them and refer them to this article:

As a workaround, Firefox has a general purpose way to create a keyword bookmark from the search form. This isn't as smooth as using a regular search engine, but you could try it:

You can create your own search engine based on the URL pattern of the results page. The easiest method is to use an add-on:

If you don't want to use an add-on, there is a manual method described in this thread:
