How to add MapQuest with a search shortcut to your Firefox:
1. open Firefox Preferences ("Firefox" menu, "Preferences" item)
2. select "🔍 Search" from the left column
3. click the [ + Add search engine ] button
4. enter "Mapquest" into the Search engine name field (without quotes)
5. enter "https://www.mapquest.com/search/%s" into the URL field (without quotes)
6. enter "m" into the Keyword field (without quotes)
If you already had an "m" search shortcut for another search engine, you may need to first edit that search engine (click the pencil ✏️ icon next to it) in the list of "Additional search engines", and remove/replace the existing "m" with something else.
This is my third #WASSUP #WASSUP2026 post, and second useful web tip for September.
