In case you're using one of these :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-ssl/
Or :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/
You could always contact the developers (see under "More information")

Hello Cherdog,
Assuming that you're using Google as your search engine; you could start by checking your region setting :
https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en-NL&fg=1
(if you had to change anything; don't forget to press the blue "Save" button at the bottom)
Or you could choose a Google plugin here :

(you'll have to scroll way down)
I do not use google. I am using Mozilla/Firefox

Firefox is not a search engine; it's a browser ....
If you don't use Google : what is your default search engine ?
See : 3-bar menu (or Tools) => Options => Search

Search Engine is DuckDuckGo.
If changing the settings doesn't work for you, you could
try one of these :
https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=duckduckgo.com
(you'll have to scroll way down)
I have check the settings, they are set to United States.
I am not sure which settings to change to from the link you sent for https://mycroftproject.com

And yet you don't get US search results ?

This link is not about changing settings, but about downloading a DuckDuckGo search engine plugin, should your current version of the search engine fail to give you the search results you want.
Excuse my misuse of terms.
I am not sure which "DuckDuckGo search engine plugin" to download. There appears to me there is a possible choice of three or four options.
Please consider I am not by any means educated in dealing with this subject.
