User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 SeaMonkey/2.53a1
Build ID: 20170703003001

Steps to reproduce:

Entered a search term in the location bar and expected to get the full DuckDuckGo site, just like it was up until 2.52


Actual results:

Searches get redirected to the DuckDuckGo Lite version instead.


Expected results:

It should use the full duckduckgo.com site as before.
Btw, as per DuckDuckGo's support suggestion, I've tried changing https://duckduckgo.com in sudo nano /opt/seamonkey/searchplugins/duckduckgo.xml to https://start.duckduckgo.com and that solves the problem.

Is this still an issue in 2.53.2 as we still have https://duckduckgo.com in duckduckgo.xml and I've only ever seen the full DuckDuckGo site?

Please reopen if you see this in 253.2 or higher.
