How To Make Cortana Use Google Search In Firefox? After appling EdgeDeflector it searches Firefox but uses Bing.
Basically, I'd like Cortana to default search through Firefox browser using Google search engine.
I've applied EdgeDeflector & Cortana now uses Firefox browser by default but still uses Bing search engine.
Is there any way I can force Firefox to exclude Bing?
Any help appreciated, ty.

Cortana sends the browser a complete URL.
Once upon a time, Firefox would detect the special parameters in the Cortana URL, extract the query, and redirect it to your default search engine. I don't know if that feature was removed, or Microsoft changed the parameter so it is no longer detected.
For now, perhaps you need an add-on? This one popped up in a search, but I haven't tried it myself:
