I have switched from Google to Mozilla. I am kind of missing the search bar on the home screen. Earlier I could use both the Chrome and the search bar combined for my searches. Like I am browsing on a page on my browser, but I want a meaning to a word, so I would go to google search bar, search there and come back to the browser. Now with mozilla i have to open a new tab for the same and then toggle between the two tabs that hurts the momentum a bit. Is there a search bar widget for the home page that can help me search in a completely different window?

Hi

We do not have a search widget, but you can add a link to a search engine site to your Android home screen that will open in Firefox for Android. This guide will wak you through how to do it.
