The problem is, DuckDuckGo HTML is not able to be accessed this way,
That sounds like a bug, and i can reproduce it with a new empty profile.
Gonna analyse the issue and be back later.
edit:
seems to be an issue with the POST endpoint so something on DDG’s side or firefox is not sending the post request correctly, thats also an options, havent looked that deeply into the issue.
But the GET endpoint seems to work fine.
Here the steps to setup without using an addon
open about:config and add browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh as boolean with value true
open about:preferences#search and click the Add button on Search Engine table.
Set the new Engine as the default in the Default Search Engine section

Hope it helps.
Thank you for looking into this! I could submit a report myself, but my technical knowledge is fairly limited.
Oh thanks! I’m afk now, but once I’m home again I’ll try your fix!
Edit: No dice. It will open DDGHTML in another tab, but it fails to actually search for keywords
