Remove Duck-duck go as search engine in Linux Mint

After you did your steps here, you may want the other short cut for finding things in the URL bar... (you know you can do this, don't you?)

We can search whatever that we need in the URL column at the browser. The default search engine is Duck Duck Go. We can change to Google by in the /home/user by deleting the .mozilla folder

To recreate again the profile, open up your browser and now the default search engine is no longer Duck Duck Go
