How can I make Cortana use Firefox and Google search engine?

It's really pissing me off that they won't let us do this. Can't I edit the file like the registry? Any help?

@McSweg, Welcome to TenForums.

Microsoft have apparently blocked all the previously known ways of weaning Cortana from Edge/Bing, saying last April...

...The only way we can confidently deliver this personalized, end-to-end search experience is through the integration of Cortana, Microsoft Edge and Bing – all designed to do more for you.

Starting today, to ensure we can deliver the integrated search experience designed for Windows 10, Microsoft Edge will be the only browser that will launch when you search from the Cortana box.

There is of course nothing stopping you opening Firefox and searching with Google, just not from Cortana.

The one and only concession is that you can still choose to launch IE instead of Edge from Cortana.

How is that possible? Can't you edit a file in windows to make it open something else? That's not fair

You need to compile a redirect script and use 'Chrometana' extension in Chrome.

Install Chrometana in Chrome, and choose Google. Download this zip file

Code:

and extract the contents to C:\Customizations\CortanaSearch. Then open Task Scheduler, and import the xml file. Restart. Cortana will now search in Chrome with Google. Edge will briefly open first, then close. This is unavoidable.

But I don't want to use Chrome, I do not like it.

Use Firefox with "Bing - Google" addon
