Hi, Mozilla doesn't have a Firefox search website. Firefox can send your searches to Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or many other search sites. This article has more info on configuring search on Android: Manage my default search engines in Firefox for Android.

I'm not sure why you are getting a 400 error. Does it matter whether you start from the menu or go directly to https://accounts.firefox.com/ ?
