If you have been using Firefox and your default search engine changed, you might’ve been selected for Mozilla’s latest study regarding search engines. From time to time, Mozilla runs studies to gather data so it can improve its user experience. The latest one we’ve learned about changes the browser’s default search engine from Google to Bing.
Until now, this change has largely remained unnoticed, probably because it only affected less than one percent of desktop Firefox users. The study is expected to run throughout 2022 and will allow Mozilla “to better understand metrics around if and how desktop Firefox usage changes when the default search engine changes.”
