Hello, I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. Is there a way to have my DuckDuckGo search settings load automatically when Firefox opens? It is such a nuisance to manually reload my settings every time I open Firefox. Is there perhaps a way to store the DuckDuckGo settings in Firefox? Thanks for your time.

If you are logged into DuckDuckGo, it should save your settings.

True but every time I open Firefox I have to log into DuckDuckGo to load my settings. Which means open Firefox, do a search, then click on the DuckDuckGo options/other setting, log in then reload my settings each and every time I open Firefox.
