When I bring up my firefox browser, DuckDuckGo has taken over the search/address bar even though it shows that I'm still on Firefox's browser page. I thought I fixed the problem, but it came back. I'm not opposed to DuckDuck, but I should be able to stick with Firefox. Thanks for any solution you can recommend.
