I initially did not want to bring this up, but Firefox literally changed my default search engine from DuckDuckGo to Google after I updated it yesterday.
No opt-in, no user input, no warning, no nothing. Just shoved Google down the user's throat.
Do you know where Mozilla gets its money from?

I update Firefox all the time and it doesn't change my default search engine. Now what?
Are you using Mozilla's Firefox builds or a Linux distribution's builds of Firefox?

Doesn't happen for me on Windows or macOS. It sounds a lot like you're construing an anecdotal incident as a grand conspiracy.

I don't think that was due to Mozilla pushing Google. I have Firefox configured with DuckDuckGo on all my devices and this has never happened to me on an update.
You mean the least worst?

No, I mean the best. Firefox provides features that uBlock Origin uses that other browsers don't provide.

Better than all other major browsers != good
Since the only real competition is chromium, safari, and edge, the bar is astoundingly low.

Sounds like "the original vision of the internet" to me.
