eBay and Amazon don't treat Tor users very well. Accounts often get locked and payments reversed. Also: Bug 16322: Update DuckDuckGo search engine We are replacing the clearnet URL with an onion service one (thanks to a patch by a cypherpunk) and are removing the duplicated DDG search engine. Duplicating DDG happend due to bug 1061736 where Mozilla included DDG itself into Firefox. Interestingly, this caused breaking the DDG search if JavaScript is disabled as the Mozilla engine, which gets loaded earlier, does not use the html version of the search page. Moreover, the Mozilla engine tracked where the users were searching from by adding a respective parameter to the search query. We got rid of that feature as well. Also: This fixes bug 20809: the DuckDuckGo team has changed its server-side code in a way that lets users with JavaScript enabled use the default landing page while those without JavaScript available get redirected directly to the non-JS page. We adapt the search engine URLs accordingly. Also fixes bug 29798 by making sure we only specify the Google search engine we actually ship an .xml file for. Also regression tests.
