For some reason the first item when I open my browser is google. I do not use google-I can search my browser's history and see I do not use google. How do I get it removed? There is no reason for it to pop-up in my browser at all but there is absolutely no reason for it to be the top item whenever I open my browser. Why is it even there? I always use DuckDuckGo to search.

Please help me remove google from my browser. I have attached a screenshot with my browser showing google as the first item when I open it. This is getting so frustrating when I try to avoid google like the plague...the plague it is.

Thank you very much.

Google isn't a browser but a search engine site. So not sure if it's that homepage or something else. Did you set DDG as homepage using the Firefox browser faq for homepage set.

Firefox is the web browser while Google in this case is one of the default search engine options that most Firefox languages locales comes with.

You can choose another search engine in the default list or install another search engine of your choice.
