I pasted the listed search string modified for making Qwant my default search engine https://www.qwant.com/search?q=%s but it returns an error whem I try to do a search.

I suspect this is a lack of clarity in the instructions https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

I would appreciate a step-by-step fix, leaving out no steps. Thanks!

Shouldn't it be https://www.qwant.com/?q=%s ?

The articles I shared links for showed what it should be, as in my post. Your version doesn't work either. Still returns a 404 error.

To set these up, I usually run a search, copy/paste from the address bar of the results page, and then replace my actual search term with %s. That gives me this --

https://www.qwant.com/?q=%s&t=web

-- and it works when I test it in Firefox Nightly for Android (didn't test in the stable release).
