I have just downloaded firefox on my Galaxy note and have no idea how to use it. I expect to open the firefox app and see a browser window so I can just put in a search quickly. I have no menu or search bar, just the start page which has a shortcut to a search bar but not a browser screen. I don't expect it to be the same as ie but when I open ie it starts in a browser window ready to search.

You should have a URL bar at the top of your Firefox window. This doubles as a search bar. You can type in a webaddress (www.google.com for eample) or a search term (weather in Antarctica).

What exactly should my ' Firefox window' look like? Mine has the Set up firefox sync aswell as bookmarks for firefox help pages. There is also a small link that says 'browse all your favourite sites'
