I just updated (I use arch btw) and had to reboot WaterFox. The default search engine got changed to 1.org and StartPage no longer shows up as a default option even. Has this happened to anybody else?

    Startpage asked Waterfox to remove them as the default search because Waterfox users were costing them more than the revenue they were generating for them. There was a revenue sharing agreement between the two companies, but with no profit, the partnership was dissolved.

    It’s in the changelog notes: https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6.13/
