Firefox (desktop & Android)
Firefox is supported on both desktop and Android. The manual method works today on both, and on desktop the Suede add-on is available now — it sets Suede as your default for you (on Firefox for Android, use the manual method).
Manual method — works today
Firefox adds a site's search engine from the site itself (via OpenSearch), so the quickest path is:
Firefox desktop
- Open suede.io and sign in.
- Click the address bar. Firefox detects Suede's search descriptor and shows a search-engines control — click it and choose Add Suede (you may see a small "+" on the search icon, or find Add "Suede" in the address-bar drop-down).
- Make it the default: Settings → Search → Default Search Engine → Suede
(or
about:preferences#search).
If your Firefox does not offer to add Suede automatically, add it from Settings → Search → Search Shortcuts → Find more search engines, or use the OpenSearch auto-discovery flow (it reads the same descriptor).
Firefox for Android
- Open suede.io in Firefox and sign in.
- Tap the ⋮ menu → Settings → Search.
- Under Default search engine, tap Add search engine. If Suede was auto-detected from the page it appears
in the list; otherwise choose Other and enter:
- Name —
Suede - Search string to use —
https://suede.io/search?q=%s
- Name —
- Select Suede as the default.
Suede add-on
The Suede Search add-on registers Suede as a search engine — with private suggestions and a suede address-bar
keyword — and asks, on install, to make it your default.
Firefox desktop — available now
- Open Suede Search on Firefox Add-ons and click Add to Firefox.
- Confirm the Add prompt.
- Firefox asks, once, whether the add-on may make Suede your default search engine — approve it. You can revisit the choice any time under Settings → Search.
