I have tried many times to get rid of DuckDuckGo. I use the search engine tool to delete it and every time I restart Firefox it appears as my primary search engine again. I have run Norton 360 antivirus after deleting DuckDuckGo and it does not find any problems so I do not know what to do next. How can I permanently remove DuckDuckGo from Firefox?

Do you see that search engine in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder or Firefox program folder?

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
