[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1420985@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Ubuntu start page for Firefox displays a search box (and not much else),
for either Yahoo or Google, if either of those searches are the user's
default search option. For every other search option, the start page
defaults to showing a Google search box.

I would really like to see a variant of the startpage for DuckDuckGo,
which is an attractive search choice for me, but currently my start page
just shows a Google search box.

I'd honestly be fine if they got rid of the Ubuntu start page entirely;
"about:home" is fine and a bit nicer-looking IMO, even if it is
saturated with Mozilla-ey-ness. Short of that, please respect the user's
default search choice, and show a search box/logo for that search
provider.
