I'm trying to install DuckDuckGo

I've tried clicking on the magnifying glass in Search but no list comes up. I've tried downloading from the DuckDuckgo web site but keep getting a message that it can't install because of a connection problem. But I'm not having any connection problems. Am totally baffled.

Hi,

Question :

Do you want DuckDuckGo to be your default search engine, or just as 'one of the search engines you can use'  ?

If you want it as your default search engine, all you have to do is go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => Search, and set it as your default search engine.

If that's not the case, and you want it as 'extra search engine' : where exactly did you try to download from  ?

From this page maybe  : https://duckduckgo.com/

Or :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/

Other  ?
