I booted into a live session, ran Abrowser, and looked at this value.
It was the same as yours. However, using the search bar search DDG as
expected. Moreover, after running

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install abrowser

the value was completely absent. It is absent in my install of Trisquel
as well. It seems the setting was removed in Abrowser 62. I don't think
it's the problem.

My search engine is searx.me, and this is displayed under Preferences ->
Search -> Default Search Engine. However, in about:config,
browser.search.defaultenginename says DuckDuckGo. It seems that this
value does not control the behavior of the search bar either.

$ cd ~/.mozilla/abrowser/[random].default/
$ grep -R searx *

matches only a binary file called "search.json.mozlz4"

It seems that this file, not browser.search.defaultenginename, is
modified by graphically changing the default search engine graphically.

GrevenGull, what search engine is set as the default under Preferences ->
Search -> Default Search Engine?
