I've changed my default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo in Firefox 41.0.1 on Ubuntu and turned on automatic search suggestions. But automatic search suggestions is not working. I had changed to DuckDuckGo HTML and search suggestions worked. What can I do?

Sorry, what is the difference between DuckDuckGo and DuckDuckGo HTML?

When I test, I do get suggestions from the search bar. It also seems to be working for me on the built-in Firefox home page. I have attached example screen shots.

Is yours failing in those places, or somewhere else?

Note: I used to have an extra DDG search plugin from their website, I think, but lately I am only using the built-in one (English U.S. version of Firefox).
