..It’s official: Mozilla is running an experiment in Firefox 139, introducing Perplexity as one of the available search engines.

While Mozilla hasn’t made Perplexity the default search engine as part of the experiment, it will be available as an option in the address bar via the unified search button, allowing users to switch between search engines in Firefox quickly…

The experiment is targeted at users in the US, UK, and Germany, but users outside these regions can also try Perplexity AI search in Firefox…

How to Try Perplexity AI Search in Firefox

Open Firefox and go to perplexity.ai.

Type a search query in the Firefox address bar, but don’t press Return.

When the dropdown suggestions appear, select the “Search with Perplexity” option.

After running a few searches this way, Firefox should prompt you to add Perplexity as a saved search engine.

Once added, you’ll also get a new @perplexity keyword shortcut for faster searching…
