Default search engine always reverts back to DuckDuckGo
Hi! For 2 weeks now I cannot permanently set a default search engine. I've always set Brave as my default search engine in settings. All of a sudden this was changed to DuckDuckGo by Firefox without my knowledge. I can change it back to Brave, but as soon as Firefox is cleared from memory it will revert to DuckDuckGo. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? As it is now I cannot use Firefox when I always need to change the settings before using it.

I’m experiencing the same issue. Instead of reverting to DDG, it reverts to Google. Is there a workaround for this?

Re-installing fixed the issue, thanks! 👍🏻
Unfortunately a minor nuisance is that I had to manually add Brave search again as it's not included in the preset search engines and this setting doesn't seem to be synced. ☺️
I had Firefox constantly reverting to DuckDuck as well , but after reinstalling Firefox my beloved Kagi finally sticks. Thank you!
