First off it set the search bar and menu at the bottom of the screen and I didn't know how to change that. Then I couldn't sync with all my account passwords and bookmarks previously saved on other apps. I had to delete the app because the idea of privacy is great and all but I need to get access to my preferred websites and accounts easily. If you can provide an easy fix I will give the app another try.

Thanks.

Do you have your passwords and bookmarks saved in Firefox on another device?

Okay I put the search bar at the top. No I'm new to Firefox but I wanted to transfer my bookmarks and saved passwords from Chrome. I thought my phone saved them no matter what browser I was using. I'm not great at technology this has already sucked up 2 hours of my time.

I liked the browsing privacy of Duckduckgo but it wouldn't autofill my login info for frequently used sites and after some research found that Firefox might be a good option but now I have to login to each account I have on the internet for it to be saved on Firefox. Any suggestions welcome.
