User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Build ID: 20150310004228 Steps to reproduce: I selected DuckDuckGo as my search engine by default. I put the Firefox widget on my home. Make a search using the widget. Actual results: I get search results list from Google instead of DDG. Expected results: A list of search results from DDG.
Component: Widget: Android → Search Activity
Product: Core → Firefox for Android
Version: 36 Branch → Firefox 36
I'm able to reproduce this issue when changing the default search engine for the first time. Changing it for the second time shows the correct behavior. If: 1. Start Firefox with a clean profile. 2. Add the Firefox search widget to the home screen 3. Change the default search engine to anything else from list (e.g DDG) Result: Firefox searches are conducted through DDG. Firefox widget searches are conducted through Google 4. Change the default search engine again to anything else from list (e.g Amazon) Result: Firefox searches are conducted through Amazon. Firefox widget searches are conducted through Amazon Tested on Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.4.2
