I need to do local admin work on the router in my motorhome. Not surpisingly, its admin is on 192.168.0.1:80. Everything I type gets sent to Google search instead. How can I just enter a IP address without going to a Internet search engine. Just tell me it's easy in the latest Firefox for Android and I'll finally update LOL. Currently on Firefox 68.11.0 on Samsung Android 9

Chosen solution

I am running Firefox for Android 90.1.3 on my Android 11 phone, and it works. In my search bar, I enter 192.168.1.5 (which is my router's IP) and it works after I accept the risk associated with the secure connection failing (click advanced->accept risk and continue).

Hi

The version of Firefox for Android is no longer supported. I recommend that you update to a version currently available from the Google Play store.

As I said in my message, does the latest Firefox for Android support my need? Tell me how, please.

I should have said that I have DuckDuckGo selected as my default search engine. But I don't think that should make any difference.

Well, there you go - this little advantage was enough to tip me over to migrating to the new Firefox. Thanks. It appears to work.
