I want to add a custom Google search but there is no obvious way to do this. Firefox for Android will just let you enter the search URL and name it. Chrome also allows this.

This should work for both Win and Android search homepage.

Also firefox doesn't have a default homepage this is something the user must set - it comes with a default layout and that is all when first opened.
