 > For about:tor, we included strings for both DuckDuckGo and Startpage
 (someone had the idea that someday we could let users choose which search

 > 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?

 It get set as the browser is not recognizing the translated default one
 and thus choosing the second one we define. The search box on about:tor is
 not affected and fixed should get the search box in the upper right
 corner.
