librewolf: defaults to google search engine

[eclairevoyant]

Describe the bug

Default search engine is Google instead of DuckDuckGo.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Delete ~/.librewolf
2. Start LW browser

Expected behavior

Default search should be DDG, and google shouldn't even be available, per https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#how-do-i-add-a-search-engine

Yeah, seems to be a nixpkgs issue.
See the list of available search engines below, for example -
