Search engines keeps changing to google

I have my default search engine set to brave but every time I go to search for something it flicks back to google without my consent. There are no pop up boxes or steps asking me to approve this switch. It just does it on its own.

The team will fix this bug with the next update (version 145).

A couple notes:

  • Users say that reinstalling Firefox fixed this issue for them
  • Once the fix is released, you may still see an issue on your next immediate launch. However once you update your search engines again, the problem should no longer occur
  • In the meantime, users can also try deleting all their custom engines and re-adding them. This may resolve the issue for you as well without an update.
