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.
