I changed Firefox Android search engine to duck duck go, but Firefox search is still Google? How can I change it?

hi, this might be bug 1131087. can you try to toggle your default search engine within firefox back and forth once and see if duckduckgo is reflected in your search widget afterwards as well?

Hi

I recomend you have a read of this article that will walk you through how to manage search engines in Firefox of Android.

Yeah, you didn't read the question, did you.

I can easily change the search engine in main Firefox. I'm talking about Firefox search, the home screen widget and search you can get by swiping up from the home key in stead of Google now. Even if I delete Google search from main Firefox, Firefox search is still google. How can I change that? I refuse to use Google.
