Hi Alan and Pamela

Just to clarify, what do you mean by "browser bar"?

Sorry if I don't have the correct terminology. On the android home screen, Google has a search engine bar to access the internet. Is there a firefox search engine bar available for the android home screen as well? Tapping on the firefox icon on the home screen will probably be just as good. Thank you for your help and thoughts on this.

Yes, it is available in a new Firefox browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fenix
