PerplexityPerplexity has announced a new browser distribution update with Mozilla Firefox. Starting October 14, 2025, Firefox users can now set Perplexity as their default search engine or select it for one-time searches directly in the browser.
Key details from the announcement:
- Firefox users can choose Perplexity as their default search engine
- Perplexity is also available as a one-time search option
- The update positions Perplexity alongside other search choices built into Firefox
- Mozilla framed the change around giving users more control over their online experience
This matters for small business owners and builders because it makes Perplexity easier to access during everyday research, competitor monitoring, and content discovery workflows. Built-in browser availability can also reduce friction for teams experimenting with AI-assisted search without needing extra extensions or separate tools.
