Firefox – How to Add and Remove Internet Search Engine

Mozilla Firefox comes with a number of Search Engines already installed. However, many websites have a search feature, and Firefox offers the option to add these search services to an Internet browser.

This option is handy because if you want to, for example, search for something on YouTube, you don’t have to go to a website. All you have to do is type in the search term in the Search Bar and click on the YouTube icon and a new tab will open in which YouTube will open, the search will be performed automatically and you will be shown the results. We’ll show you two ways to add a Search Engine that you can use from the Search Bar.

Another convenient way is to use the plugin. We will show you the place where you will find all the plugins in this category, and all you have to do is choose the one you want to use.

As we said, Firefox comes with a number of Search Engines already installed. If you do not want to use any of them or have installed some that you do not want to use, we will show you how to hide or delete the Internet search engine.
