Mine automatically changes and I have to go and delete all of the other search engines besides duck duck go every other update.

I've never had that issue with ff+ddg

Lucky you, I wish it was that way for me. The guy below says that it's common with updates, so I don't think I"m the only one.

The guy below does not say it’s common with updates, they say it is happens with updates that update the default list of providers, which are rare.

Do you have the DDG extension installed? Because I haven't had any issues with FF changing it or even asking to change it after updates (minor or major). So if you don't have it installed, and you have no plans to change away from DDG. It would be a worthwhile extension to add, and it adds some additional tracker blocking while not on a search.
