Macos sonoma m1 - firefox is default browser, duck duck go is default search engine

When doing a search directly from searchlight options, firefox uses google search instead of the duck duck go default.

All other searches from within firefox uses the default correctly.

Hi, unfortunately it looks like Apple is using the settings from Safari, rather than using the search mode in Firefox. Firefox can't do much about this, as it is being given a URL to load.

Hence, you'll need to change your default search engine settings in Safari.
