    “Constantly” is a ridiculous exaggeration, it’s rare and it’s not some random nagging prompt or anything. It’s tied to software updates wherein the list of default search engines Firefox suggests in preferences is also updated.


    Why did my search engine change?

    From time to time, Mozilla may update the list of search engines that are available in Firefox or set as default in specific regions. If your default search engine is changed, you’ll receive a notification in Firefox so you can further customize your default search settings.

    If you received a notification that your default search engine has changed after updating Firefox, you can keep the new default or set a search engine of your choice.

      It’s tied to software updates

      Right, I’ve had updates 2x a week sometimes. Then it goes for a long time. I’m not complaining about the updates, just that I have to go through all of my settings every time.
