And second: there is an array of buttons below your search suggestions. These buttons allow you to find your search term directly on a specific site quickly and easily," notes the Mozilla UX blog post.
In other words, when a search query is typed in the search box located on the top of the browser, it will allow users to directly search the same query from different options like Google, Bing, Amazon, DuckDuckGo, eBay, Twitter and Wikipedia, as demonstrated by the company.
