I thought they always had the DuckDuckGo search engine.

EDIT: Turns out this was the linux distros adding it in themselves.

I am on Firefox 33.1 and I don't have those add-ons. I don't want or have no need for them. Firefox 33.1 did not come with those add-ons.

DuckDuckGo is also on the windows version.

In fact, I see "Add Mobileread" on a separate just before the "Manage Search Engines" since I'm on this site; will check when I leave. Could be another "smart" idea to aid the user.

The point is that Ubuntu and other linux distros have been patching Firefox for years, to add DuckDuckGo by default. Windows has only just gotten caught up.

That is because Search Engines is an open standard, any website can add one simply by linking their XML description in the header, allowing the user to add new search engines. Most websites with a search feature do, MobileRead's is this for example:

https://www.mobileread.com/static/search.xml

You can also find an extensive list of extra search engines here: http://mycroftproject.com/

See above.

If you were using Mozilla's independent binaries you would now have a new search engine. And are you saying you don't see the Forget button in that stupid imitation-Chrome "Menu" button?



I am currently an Arch Linux user, so I didn't get DuckDuckGo patched in (Arch linux maintains the KISS approach and refuses to patch things except in rare cases, that is upstream's job), and now it appeared, but the last time I actually bothered to check the default search engines was on Ubuntu, hence my initial confusion.
