Public bug reported: In firefox 62, if I change the default search engine in preferences, it comes back to google every time I restart the browser. I 've also tried with an external qwant plugin that sets qwant as default but it always comes back to google. So there is no way for me to change my default engine unless I specify it on every startup.
It seems that we are numerous to have the problem. It seems that we are all on ubuntu.
