Comment (by mcs):

 For about:tor, we included strings for both DuckDuckGo and Startpage
 (someone had the idea that someday we could let users choose which search
 engine to use from about:tor).  See:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/blob/HEAD:/src/chrome/locale/en/aboutTor.properties

 How does DuckDuckGo get set as the URL bar search engine in non-English
 bundles?  Is the search box also configured to use DuckDuckGo?  Which
 should be fixed -- about:tor or the other places?
