Probably, it's this line in the distribution.ini file we ship:

Code: Select all

browser.search.searchEnginesURL="https://www.google.com"
So that should be simple to fix. Just remove it. Waterfox's works without any line about it at all.

Edit: Yes, I deleted that line in /opt/firefox/distribution/distribution.ini, and that fixed it. Not a Mozilla bug, it was on us. :bagoverhead:

The firefox-66.0.3+2 has the suggested fix in the distribution.ini file but the link still goes to google. Looks like it needs a tad more work. :mad:

edit: one more field needs to get omitted and the fix works. give me a bit to get a new set up and you'll want to look for a +3 set to have a working fix.
