I have the Firefox app on my phone. Why does it use Google to search?

You can set it to duckduckgo, or whatever you want.

This is in Settings => Search

Firefox is a web browser and Google in this case is a search engine.

However, I just set my search setting to DuckDuckGo. Thank you both for your answers.
