You can always go to Google.com or and get the search page up and then go to 3 Bar Menu --> Options--> down to Homepage and make it your home page or any other page or search engine. You can search in the Address Bar or from the Search Bar
While in Options Click Search and remove the ticks beside any search engine you do not want to use so does not clutter up the Search Bar in want to use.
Just in case have ram/cpu high usage : Go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Help ? --> Troubleshooting Information Page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there. if yes, go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to.
Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please. https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/
