Title:
  Ubuntu start page for Firefox does not respect DuckDuckGo, Bing,
  Twitter, Amazon, eBay or Wikipedia default search setting

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu Start Page:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
