But ... Firefox is a browser, not a search engine?

Or do you mean you can't do a Google search via Firefox rather than using the Google search app?

Firefox supplies a search bar widget that then uses your Firefox search settings, and it's how I do things

See:

On Nova

Tapping it immediately opens Firefox in the search bar with the keyboard open, and allows me to use my search history, browser history, bookmarks, and search suggestions, all at once:

Ah gotcha. I suppose you could just disable the default dock search widget and manually add the Firefox one. Only downside is that it would have to be above the dock area.

You cannot put Firefox' search widget down there. That is the point they're making
