And as long as you do not select an option you can just hit enter and it will do a Google search. So if you were to type test in the Awesome Bar, it will look in your bookmarks and/or browser history (depending on your settings). As such it will appear that way on your Google 'recently used devices' listings ( ). If you didn’t know already, Firefox lets you search from the Awesome Bar (the address bar) and it uses Google by default. Please note that using this addon will make your browser appear to Google to be an 'LG Nexus' device, regardless of the actual make and model number of your device. It also adds a rider to that information which should hopefully make it clear to those paying attention that users are actually using Firefox, not Chrome. This add-on works by spoofing the relevant user-agent information so that Google Search sends the Chrome-specific page to Firefox for Android. In the General tab, find the Search section and click Settings.

To default to Google, here’s how you do it: Click the Tools icon at the far right-hand side of the browser window. This add-on was made to let users opt into getting that better experience in the meantime, by simply installing the addon (no configuration required). Google Search is installed but not set as your default search provider. To get started, browse or search the web in a Chrome window, find the extension or app you want, and tap on the link. However, Firefox is actually capable of showing the more advanced page that Chrome gets (with some issues which should hopefully all be cosmetic).įirefox engineers are working with Google to fix this situation, but it is unclear how long that process will take. Google's Web Search currently doesn't provide the same search experience to browsers like Firefox for Android as it does for Chrome.
