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).

Yeah, seems to be a nixpkgs issue.
See the list of available search engines below, for example -

Nixpkgs build:

vs librewolf-bin, which I packaged in the PR above:

This shows up in my list of open issues, I'd rather this stay closed, thanks! Copy-pasting the description should be minimal effort.
