On Firefox, you could choose which search engine you want to be the default.
However, with the advent of AI, many users are using chatbots like ChatGPT to obtain their information.
This article will show you how.
OpenAI (its parent company) has since made the option available to all.
Seeing as so many use ChatGPT as a go-to for information, it only makes sense.
Firefox is renowned for protecting user privacy and runs a pretty tight ship in that regard.
Firefox isnt a Chromium web app (like Edge, Chrome, etc.)
and the addon that brings GPT to these wont work for Mozilla.
Youll need to add ChatGPT manually.
Heres how:
Step 1.Youll need to start by opening the preferences menu.
you might do this by typing about:config into the address bar of Firefox and hitting Enter.
Step 2.Therell be a warning message about advanced tweaks.
Click Accept the Risk and Continue to proceed to the next screen.
Step 5.If the entry is marked true, youre on the right path.
If not, pick the Toggle button to change it.
Step 2.poke the Search tab in the sidebar and then scroll down until you see the Search Shortcuts box.
Step 3.Hit the Add button right below this box.
Step 4.A new window will pop up.
Enter the search engine name, URL and alias.
Name the first ChatGPT and https://chatgpt.com/?q=%s as the address.
Step 5.Click Add Engine to finalize the option.
Step 6.Scroll back up to the top of the Search menu to Default Search Engine.
Step 7.Choose ChatGPT from the dropdown menu.
Firefox should now use ChatGPT for all searches unless specifically told otherwise.
While some third-party extensions might do the job, its worth remembering that these are not official Mozilla solutions.
You may spin up the risk of accidentally installing something you dont mean to install.
