Does your FF also change default search to google after some updates? (feddit.de)

Interesting. I did a quick search and found these old threads: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/firefox-82-0-2-sets-search-engines-back-to-default/35847/16, https://forum.manjaro.org/t/firefox-keeps-resetting-search-engines-on-manjaro/49260/4. These people have a similar problem, also on manjaro. I don't want to investigate any further tbh.

Maybe something they're doing with their custom build of Firefox? You could switch to a different Arch repo just for Firefox, or Snap/Flatpak versions or install directly from the Mozilla build.

I use Mint, and use the Mozilla PPA's Ubuntu builds instead of the Mint ones as I had some minor annoyances. Not sure if it's a good idea to go down a Deb route on Arch though? Not something I've tried. I don't think Mozilla maintains an Arch build themselves?
