What's the difference b/w Google searching from the Mozilla Start Page and the search bar?

It's not a high-priority question, I just want a general answer.

I read that Google renews the license of Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, and that's from where Mozilla makes 90% of its money, because it's a not-for-profit organisation.

I want to know whether I am giving Google a signal of making use of that license renewal when I search from the Start Page and not from the search bar I have.

hi Abhimanyu, it won't make a difference if you search from the homepage or the search bar - both use the same default search provider. in addition, mozilla is no longer partnering with google. for details you might want to see https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/

Depends on the locale as en-US no longer has Google as default and has Yahoo as default. Google is still one of the search engine options in for any locale that does not have Google as default.
