I'm using Firefox for Android and I added Startpage as my designated search engine. So,why does Google destinations, that is home and work, come up every time I tap the search/url box? I have never queried Startpage about either place, only in Google's app. The inference being that Firefox has compromised my privacy to Google or compromised the search engine function for Google.

Hi

Have you set the added Startpage search engine as the default search engine in Firefox for Android?
