DuckDuckGo

[Jomapil]

My browser is Mozilla Firefox.
When I initialize it the search engine is automatically DuckDuck. What must I do to eliminate
this malware and return to my Google Search?

Thanks for your help.

Just click on magnify glass in search window. Duckduckgo in some cases has better results than google, because google censored it.

Edit: or in option search default searchengine and change here are 100% permanent.

This is what worked for me:
Click on the Menu icon, located in the upper right corner.
Click "Options".
Click"Search".
Select "Google" from the drop-down menu under "Default Search Engine".

Bernix's method is faster:
Click the Magnifying Glass icon in the search box.
Click "Change Search Settings"
Select "Google" from the drop-down menu under "Default Search Engine".

DuckDuckGo is not malware, it is a fine search engine that doesn't track you. I use it all the time.

Bernix : I don´t know very well what is malware. But if you say
it is better than Mozilla with some issues, the next time I will
try DuckDuck.

@DeJay
I understand there might be some pressure from major companies or rather company to make such illusion OP seems to be victim of it.

Sorry don't understand what you mean. DDG is search engine, and pretty good. It has nothing to do with Mozilla.

DuckDuckGo is better than Google if you care about your privacy - if you don't care about your privacy then change search engine.

for some search it doesn't filter results like google does. But already mentioned. I mean FS services and similar, hope you understand what I mean. But don't use it for this, just don't wanna be tracked, but still am.
