I initially did not want to bring this up, but Firefox literally changed my default search engine from DuckDuckGo to Google after I updated it yesterday.
No opt-in, no user input, no warning, no nothing. Just shoved Google down the user's throat.
Do you know where Mozilla gets its money from?
- guillermin 3y agoI don't think that was due to Mozilla pushing Google. I have Firefox configured with DuckDuckGo on all my devices and this has never happened to me on an update.
- clouddrover 3y agoI update Firefox all the time and it doesn't change my default search engine. Now what? Are you using Mozilla's Firefox builds or a Linux distribution's builds of Firefox?

- clouddrover 3y agoDoesn't happen for me on Windows or macOS. It sounds a lot like you're construing an anecdotal incident as a grand conspiracy.
