FYI Debian removed their previously included DuckDuckGo search engine in
favor of the one included upstream. Might want to do the same for
Ubuntu.

mozilla/iceweasel.git/commit/debian?id=98aeb1feb002af9d286bf6de56535cd53e48290b

In addition to the search engine suggestions, additional interesting
changes have been included as well.

Title:
  DuckDuckGo search plugin is outdated

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It seems that Ubuntu overrides Firefox's DuckDuckGo search plugin with
  a version that doesn't support search suggestions.

  e.g. I receive this file:
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.utopic/view/head:/debian/searchplugins/en-US/duckduckgo.xml

  While Mozilla already includes their own DuckDuckGo search plugin which supports search suggestions:
