librewolf: defaults to google search engine

[eclairevoyant]

Describe the bug

Default search engine is Google instead of DuckDuckGo.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Delete ~/.librewolf
2. Start LW browser

Expected behavior

Default search should be DDG, and google shouldn't even be available, per https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#how-do-i-add-a-search-engine

I have seen this too. Maybe related? https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/1965

I doubt that issue is related, since that issue is setting it to ddg (LW's default) not google (FF's? default).

See the list of available search engines below, for example -

Nixpkgs build:
