And here's another thought : You may be dealing with DuckDuckGo the browser hijacker - malware, that you will of course want to get rid of.

Go to the 3-bar menu (or   'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g. :

SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito Search for Fire Fox 1.6 SafeSearch ch SafeSearch net Converter.onesearch org File Convertor and Search Addon Findwide Search Engine 1.7

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same in Windows Control Panel.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently   -   what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
