I'm not very tech savvy and am hoping someone could please explain to me what the roles are of a search engine and a browser on my mobile Android phone. Again, keeping the explanation simple will be most beneficial. Thanks for your help.

Hi

A search engine is a web service that helps you to find web pages.

A web browser is a software on your device that helps you to access the web.

Firefox for Android is a web browser. Google is a search engine. Firefox for Android has Google set as its default search engine.

I hope that this helps.
