Fennec is just upstream firefox with a few patches applied during build afaik, so they probably forgot to remove what upstream added. Nothing to worry about imo.
Yeah. I was annoyed by this, but wouldn't assume bad faith on the part of the Fennec devs.
not bad faith, but overriding your selected search engine is just plainly very fucked up for firefox to do.
and this it not only on mobile. I had the same experience on desktop some time ago.
