This is not unique to FireFox. This is also possible in Chrome (Settings -> Search Engine) and looks like this:

Setup the way I have in the image you can simply type @claude and your search

Worth noting that Gemini also offers a URL shortcut for searching Gemini via @gemini within the Chrome browser.

Yes, I'm aware of @gemini on Chrome. If you look at how it's implemented they are purposely stashing the query into a HTTP header so it's not possible to use a simple bookmark to launch it.

Why would they intentionally limit that?

Query parameters are so tired. All my homies embed their queries into the password portion of a basic auth header. Keeps your queries super secure from spies and competing browsers.

Are you on Linux by chance? Your font doesn’t look like it has anti aliasing which seems like a common Linux thing

It's not a common Linux thing, all major distros ship with antialiasing configs ootb. The person just disabled it.
