I have downloaded Firefox on my phone and on my tablet. They both revert back to google. I click on the Firefox app but it's really google??? Can someone call me? I am 71 and out of the loop. ... . In Hawaii, Big Island. So frustrated! And I can't get the Firefox logo to show up in my apps on my tablet.

Aloha!

Firefox is a different program from the Google Chrome browser, but when you search, you will get results from Google unless you change your default search setting.

Could you check the following article and try out a different search site like DuckDuckGo and see whether that works for you:

Oh... I just checked and when you posted, you used Firefox Focus, which is a different Firefox browser for Android.

Here's the article on changing your search results site in Focus:

How. Do I TALK to Someone?

Firefox and Focus are web browsers and not search engines or homepage or websites.

Google in this case is a search engine. You can as noted in above articles change what search engine you want to use as default.
