How do I put access to the Google Map screen on the main search screen?

I'll assume for now that I understand what you want.... I went into Options/Search and in that screen there is the link 'find more search engines'... when I clicked on it it opened up the addons page with a ton of search aids... I see this one...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... sy-search/

...but it looks like it just adds a line to one of the menus so it doesn't look like what I think that you are asking for... keep searching that area and maybe you will find something.

Maybe a more detailed explanation of what steps you do in using Google would help in catching the eyes of experts around here.

If you are talking about the Firefox Home page, then you can pin a website to a tile to have easy access.
