I get angry at Mozilla every single day for that horrible search behavior. It's virtually impossible to search for anything without sending your search string

  In the nightly there's a setting called "Use New Search Behaviour" (in the secret settings menu, tab the Firefox logo five times in the about screen to enable it) that solves a lot of UI annoyances for me. It seems they're not done tweaking the search behaviour yet. Autocomplete works for me in the nightly (at least for DDG) so if it doesn't right now, it'll be fixed eventually.

    There's a secret settings menu? Wow. In my non-nightly version it's totally empty though

      True, currently only nightly has settings there but Beta had some as well in a previous version I think.

  I totally deleted search engines in mobile firefox settings and finally added the duckduckgo to home page. I understand mozilla wants a spike of search revenue with settings reset, making address bar unusable.

  > How are you supposed to use search autocomplete with any other search engine except your default? It's possible though exceedingly cumbersome. You select the search engine first, then type the query. If that doesn't work with the default settings of displaying the engines right away, it certainly does if you turn off ‘Show search engines’ in settings and go via the button. Wikipedia auto-completion finally works for me. However, I can't say that this UI is better than the old one for the default case of not caring about non-default-engine completion.
