How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?
In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
I use the Google Now Launcher.

hi mrt181, it is intended to use the same search engine as in firefox - however there's a bug at the moment, so it doesn't apply in all situations. usually it will be enough to switch the default engine in firefox back and forth once to work around the issue in the search widget and get the same search provider as set in the browser.
