Someone asked whether it's possible to set DuckDuckGo as a preferred search engine in the default browser. While I don't have a device yet, it can be possible in theory. Can anyone please test this scenario:

1. Find your Mozilla profile directory. Usually it should be $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-dir> but I have no clue if it's the same on Sailfish.
2. Create searchplugins subdiretcory in there.
3. Create duckduckgo.xml search plugin in there, using the following: http://pastie.org/8517520
4. Open about:config and set:
Code:
browser.search.defaultenginename = DuckDuckGo
browser.search.selectedEngine = DuckDuckGo
5. Try searching anything and see what happens.
