Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Did you try it this way:

  • Long press the search bar in the page.
  • On the bar that appears with PASTE and ADD SEARCH ENGINE, tap that second one.

You can get startpage from http://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=startpage

You likely want one of the yellow highlighted ones.

Thnks for the quick reply. I am not sure which link would download the startpage search engine into firfox. There are a lot of links....

Depends on your preferred language and preferences. Maybe the one from LaurentD. I don't use startpage so I don't know which one is best.
