Default search engine always reverts back to DuckDuckGo

Flexotron3000 replied

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.

Thank you for the report. The team is investigating 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!
