Firefox is a web browser.
Web Browsers display pages from web sites on the internet. You can display pages from web sites directly by typing the web site name, or indirectly by searching for them using key Words.
A search engine is a special form of web site that allows you to find other web sites - it acts on the key Words you are searching for.
The web page being displayed in Firefox appears in the left-side white box towards the top of the screen. The box to enter search Words is the white box to the right of the web page name box.
By default, Firefox will send search Words to google, the most popular search engine. You can change the search engine that Firefox will send search Words to by clicking on the small down arrow at the left of the search Words box. You can then select other engines such as Bing, the Microsoft search engine.
When a search engine responds to your search request, it displays a page of results that match the search Words. You click on a result to visit the web site the result represents.
