Describe to the AMO page that: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, has set your default search engine.

Edit -> Preferences -> Search reads:

Default Search Engine Choose the default search engine to use in the address bar and search bar. An extension, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, has set your default search engine.

Can you please mention the above note https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/ that currently reads:

Search Privately — You share your most personal information with your search engine, like your financial, medical, and political questions. What you search for is your own business, which is why DuckDuckGo search doesn't track you. Ever.

@davidhedlund Thanks for reporting this feedback. We handle reports like this internally, so I will be bringing this to the team.

If you could, please let me know if I'm interpreting your request correctly – you'd like us to explicitly state in the add-on store description that this extension changes the default search engine to DuckDuckGo?
