Default search engine changed itself back to google

[stumead]

Currently using Firefox 121.0 on Windows 11.
Reset the default search engine to Duckduckgo in December. this remained default until 8Jan24
Typed a search term into the bar AM on 9Jan24 and the default has reverted to Google.
AFAIK there has been no update. Nobody else uses my PC.

Anyone any idea why this would happen please?

I'll take that as a "we don't know" 😉
Changed it back AM 10Jan24, after update to 121.0.1
I will post here if it happens again.
