I appreciate your help and I want to thank you. But I just wanted to make it clear (in my mind), I have Firefox browser but it is not a search engine? I can/should & or need to use like Google or one of the other ones. Is this correct? I'm not very tech savvy. Oh, I wanted to let you know, I have my android phone S24 that I use, but I also have 2 laptops. One is an IOS 11 and the other one is an IOS 10. Does that make a difference?

Firefox for Android, Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad), and for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) is a web browser. The company Mozilla does not have a search engine of their own.

A search engine service for example is duckduckgo.com, google.com, bing.com etc.

You can change what search engine you want to use in Firefox for Android. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android

iOS is the mobile operating system used on iPhones and earlier iPads as the more current iPads used the similar iPadOS.

The Apple Macbooks and desktops uses macOS and in order to use the current Firefox Releases since Fx 116.0 you need macOS 10.15 (ten.fifteen) at minimum to run. If you only have macOS 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 then you can use the Firefox 115 ESR which is currently at 115.14.0esr and last will likely be 115.15.0esr in early September.
